Our Philosophy

Our mission is to provide midwifery and doula care that is compassionate, warmhearted, respectful, and  centered around your needs.  We feel honored to be included in this special time in your life and will provide personal attention, nurturing, and gentle guidance, along with a little laughter, to create the optimal environment to birth your precious one into.  Whether birthing in the hospital or at home, we are committed to providing evidence-based information so that you can make decisions that lead to a safe and joyous birth experience. Couples, making the transition into parenthood, need a lot of love and encouragement. It is our passion to provide that for those who entrust us with their care.

We believe that birth is different for each individual woman. Birth is a miracle, but not a medical miracle. What might be normal for one may not be normal for the other. We believe that each woman has a God given ability to find her own way to birth, and that her body will lead her in the right direction. We will get to know each other well during our hour long prenatals so that when your special day arrives, you'll be surrounded by birth professionals that are also your friends.

  For homebirth clients, you will birth in a calm, familiar environment that is free from strangers, time limits, and routine procedures. An environment where you feel safe, supported, and in control, where you are able to follow your instincts in the comfort of your own home. As long as you and your baby are doing well, there is no need to intervene. Most women birth easily on their own, but we do recognize there are times when assistance is necessary, and we offer our knowledge and guidance to help with those times.  We have a good working relationship with doctors and hospitals when care is needed that is outside our scope of practice.

If you would prefer a hospital birth, our doula services include educating you on your options in childbirth, working with the father to provide comfort measures, protecting the birth environment of your choosing, and assistance with breastfeeding.

After meeting us in person, we hope that you will decide that we are the perfect team for your birth.  In the event that we are not the right fit, we will gladly refer you to other doulas and midwives so that you can find someone that is perfect for you.
