More Than Just Birth Support

A lot of people think that midwives are only able to support women in labor and delivery —but that’s far from the truth. Our care goes far beyond labor and delivery. As a midwife, we are trained to care for individuals throughout every stage of life—from the early years of adolescence, through preconception, pregnancy, postpartum, and even into perimenopause and menopause.

We are here for one-on-one support, whether you’re navigating your first period, asking questions about fertility, planning a family, or managing hormonal changes later in life. A midwife’s role includes not only providing hands-on care but also being a trusted advocate, helping you understand your options and acting as a liaison with medical staff if your care needs to be escalated to a physician.

Whether you prefer constant support or value your privacy, we honor your preferences and strive to create a space where you feel completely safe, heard, and respected.
