homebirth

~ Your Birth, Your Way ~
Homebirth is an exceptional option for healthy, low-risk pregnancies. Mothers laboring and birthing at home enjoy the comforting familiarity and flow of their own home. The expecting parents are completely involved with all the decisions made during the prenatal time and in the birthing and postpartum process. The family's privacy and wishes are completely respected. Homebirth is family-centered, full of love and so very gentle on mama, baby and the whole family.
I believe birth is a normal, healthy and sacred process. I believe the birthing process works best when allowed to unfold without interventions in an unhindered way. I care for women with a complete trust in birth, and a watchful eye for any deviations from the norm. I believe that it is best when parents make the informed decisions regarding their pregnancy, birth and postpartum, as well as the care of their child. Care with midwives at home is an excellent and safe choice for a satisfying birth experience. Midwives are experts in normal birth. Serving women birthing at home,  I am available for full midwifery care working with my experienced mentor midwife.

"The parallels between making love and giving birth are clear, not only in terms of passion and love, but also because we need essentially the same conditions for both experiences: privacy and safety." ~Sarah Buckley
