24/7/365 On-Call

For urgent concerns, you can reach your midwife 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every single day of the year. We are here for you!  

Prenatal Care

Unrushed visits allow plenty of time to get to know you, your family, and your values. With a focus on prevention,  our prenatal care involves extensive screening and preparation for the challenges that families may experience down the road in pregnancy, birth, or postpartum. Each visit includes an assessment of physical and emotional wellbeing, fetal growth and wellbeing, and plenty of time for questions. We offer all standard laboratory screenings, physical exams, and education. If any deviations from normal arise, we will consult with or refer to specialists as appropriate.

Home & Birth Center Births

We attend birth at home and a local freestanding birth center between 37 and 42 weeks. Your midwife will arrive at the start of active labor will follow your cues to help labor progress smoothly while unobtrusively monitoring you and your baby. Delayed cord clamping and immediate skin-to-skin are standard at every birth. We will be there to help with baby's first latch as desired by you. 


While rarely needed, we bring the same first-line emergency supplies and medication that would be used in a hospital. When birth doesn't go as planned, we offer a supportive transition to hospital-based care when needed, which usually includes in-person accompaniment.   

Postpartum Care

We offer 4-5 postpartum visits, including one standard home visit and follow-ups as needed. Postpartum visits include extensive lactation and nursing support, screening and counseling for common postpartum challenges (e.g. mood disorders, pelvic floor dysfunction, and sleep disturbances), and physical assessments. We are still on-call for you 24/7 through six weeks postpartum.

Newborn Care

We provide complete well-newborn care for the first two weeks of life, after which your baby will see a pediatrician. We offer most of the same assessments, prophylactic treatments, and physical exams your baby would receive in a hospital or with a pediatrician for these first two weeks. Complete head-to-toe physical exam, tongue tie assessments, and weight gain assessments are just some of the newborn services we offer.  

Lactation and Newborn Feeding

Everyone's journey with newborn feeding is unique, and we are here to support you. We start preparing for lactation and infant feeding during pregnancy and will be there to help support your baby's very first latch. If any issues arise, we will help troubleshoot, assess for problems, and offer treatments.

As two white midwives with considerable privilege, we humbly strive to offer midwifery care that is anti-racist, size-friendly, queer-affirming, poly-friendly, and trans-inclusive.

The process of childbearing can bring up a lot. We spend the majority of your visits in conversation, discussing feelings and concerns that may be arising. We are dedicated to taking a trauma-informed approach to pelvic care and will work with you to develop a safe, trusting approach to your care.

Not every birth ends with taking a baby home. Your midwives can help you navigate pregnancy decision-making and can support you through a loss. We offer extensive counseling and support for clients experiencing miscarriage. While we cannot prescribe abortion medication or perform abortion procedures, we can provide information, support, and refer you to local resources.
