Midwifery care
Giving Birth at Home is a safe and comfortable option for low risk pregnant people, even for the first birth! Midwifery care is holistic and personalized. Midwives are primary care providers for both mother/pregnant person and baby and care deeply about their clients.
Receiving midwifery care is nourishing and supportive of client's autonomy.
Midwives are highly educated and experienced providers and experts of normal birth, trained to recognize and handle complications and emergencies.
Midwifery care can include:
prenatal care: regular visits that are long enough for covering:
- clinical health care check ups
- nutritional counseling
- pregnancy, labor, birth and postpartum education
- lactation education, postpartum planning
- holistic health care
Labor and Birth support:
- clinical assessments of safety and health
- timely transfer to hospital when needed
- emergency care if needed
- gentle, holistic care
- gentle welcome and transition for baby
- water birth
Postpartum support:
- primary care for both mother/birthing person and baby for 6 weeks
- recovery support
- clinical assessments of health
- lactation support
- processing of the birth
At this point in my midwifery path, I am a Primary Student Midwife under supervision. This means that I am at the end of my clinical requirements, very experienced and I have a small amount of clinical experiences to complete before I graduate. I currently work with Esther Healy of Awakenings Birth Services. Esther is my mentor and supports me in becoming more and more independent. I am her apprentice and work with her clients. If you would like to explore a home birth and have me as your midwife, and a very experienced mentor, check out her website and reach out to either me or Esther with any questions!

My journey to midwifery has been a long and rewarding process. The calling of midwifery came in 2011 unexpectedly and supported by the spirit of my ancestor, my great-great grandmother who was a midwife in rural Hungary in the 1920's. An AHA moment and recognition of my path launched me to be a doula and learn the art of midwifery. After 10+ years of full time doula work and over 400 births attended, I enrolled at the National Midwifery Institute in 2020 and have been apprenticing with amazing local midwives.
