Pregnancy and Childbirth
It is important to know that during the one of the most important phases of your life as a women, pregnancy and childbirth, that you are supported by a team of health care professionals who listens to your concerns and understands your needs.
Your care will be delivered in a warm, caring, family-centered environment to achieve a normal, natural, empowering and joyful birth experience free of unnecessary medical intervention. We use the time-tested and proven midwifery model of care with a sensible reliance on modern medicine.

Prenatal Care
We provide comprehensive prenatal care, physical examinations, and counsel you about preparation for labor, delivery and early parenthood in the warm, relaxed, and supportive atmosphere of our offices
Throughout your prenatal experience we encourage good nutrition, education, and a healthy attitude to help you achieve a safe and normal birth. We offer individualized, personal care from the beginning of your pregnancy. We customize a model of care and support you right through the postpartum period and early parenting.

Childbirth
Our approach to childbirth is designed to eliminate unnecessary medical interventions, particularly the use of anesthetic medications and surgical interventions such as an episiotomy, forceps, vacuum extractor deliveries and cesarean sections.
Many women consider natural birth empowering. A woman who is supported through labor, as she instinctively wants to birth, is a woman who will likely feel positive about her birth experience and future parenting skills. After birth, her baby is more alert and placed on her skin (promoting maternal bonding) and breastfeeding is more likely to be enjoyable and successful. We do, however, use interventions when medically indicated.

Postpartum Support
Your care does not end with the birth of your baby. We follow up with you at 1 week, then at 4 to 5 weeks to ensure you and your baby are doing well.
We feel breastfeeding is the healthiest start your baby's life.We help you get started and refer you to La Leche League for further support. At your first appointment you are given a resource packet that gives you contact information for a wealth of resources for both your pregnancy (childbirth educators, Doulas and more) and postpartum period (La leche league, Postpartum Doulas, early parenting and more). We want you to have an incredible experience birthing your baby and in those vital early days postpartum.
