There’s no place like home.

There’s no place like home.

You are capable of having the birth you desire.

COMMUNITY MIDWIFERY

Being a Community Midwife is a lifestyle; a belief system that holds people as sovereign beings capable of making the best informed choice for themselves and their families.

I am a weaver within the community - working with other midwives and an assortment of practitioners to supply families with the resources they need. We are all stronger together.

BIRTH PHILOSOPHY

My midwifery practice focuses heavily on the main pillars of a healthy pregnancy and birth:

  • Connections / Relationships

  • Nourishment (of the whole being)

  • Rest and Stress management

  • Movement (not the same as exercise)

  • Hydration

I believe that focusing on these pillars set us up to have healthy vibrant pregnancies, births and postpartum times.

Also, nature can be a bit of a wild card! So, while we set ourselves up the best we can, we also prepare and train for unseen circumstances. 

Birth is basic to human life, we’ve been birthing since the beginning of humanity. Yes, times have changed, but the mechanisms of birth have not.

“Midwifery care is not just about making someone feel good and at ease. It is also, and perhaps even more importantly, an opportunity to assist with acknowledging and cultivating resilience as an important resource for the birth process.”

-Nicole Moralis & Jamie Mossay
