Home Birth Midwifery Care
From the first prenatal visit to labor, birth, and the first six weeks postpartum.
Fertility & IUI
For many families, the childbearing year begins long before a positive pregnancy test. We support those who are beginning to explore their conception options, seeking holistic fertility support to regulate cycles and determine optimal conception timing, and families ready to conceive through IUI at home.

Sometimes families planning home births will transfer to hospital based care during labor. In large studies and in our practice, emergency homebirth transfers make up 1% of all home birth transfers (read more here), and the rest are for causes like exhaustion or non-emergent medical indications. Here are our transfer statistics from 2021 and for the past four years in our practice to get a better sense of how we provide care.
