Holistic Midwifery Care is focused on woman-centered care. At Holistic Midwifery Care, we look at birth as a woman’s rite of passage into motherhood, an empowering event for both mother and child.   Education, experience, wisdom, and intuition guide the interaction between midwife and client throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and the postpartum period. We offer sensitive and personalized well-woman care, prenatal, birthing, and postpartum care, assistance with breastfeeding, all with enough time during visits for meaningful discussions.  You have choices in how you want to birth your baby, and Holistic Midwifery Care can help you create the birth experience you want.

Our appointments with you generally run from 45 minutes to 2 hours for an initial visit.  This gives you plenty of time to ask questions and become educated about the beautiful process of pregnancy, birth, and your body.   We believe that pregnancy and birth are a normal part of the life process and we do not believe it should be treated as a medical emergency unless necessary.  We believe that many of the cesarean sections performed today are unnecessary and are often caused by the routine interventions of hospital births.
