Announcing: Name Change!
Same team, same high-quality care
|
Due to COVID-19 concerns, many people are rethinking their location of birth to keep their families safe. Home birth is a valid, safe consideration for low risk pregnant folks and few things risk folks out automatically. Please email for a free risk assessment. We are instituting protocols to maintain health and safety for all. Some routine prenatal appointments will be held virtually, while still providing a superior level of care.

what is a midwife?
|
-A midwife is a caretaker of families and their babies and the guardian of normal birth. Midwives have attended families at birth from the beginning of time. They were the wise ones of the village; those that truly knew how to be "with" someone giving birth.
In more recent years we’ve moved away from midwife-attended birth, assuming that more technology meant better outcomes. We have found, in fact, that the opposite is true; statistics have shown that outcomes at trained midwife-attended, low-risk births are as good or better than OB attended births, with fewer medical interventions and all the risks related to intervening in a natural process. Midwives provide the skills and knowledge needed from the first pap smear, the childbearing cycle and through menopause. Earth Mother Midwife, LLC and Abundant Moon Birth & Wellness, LLC is committed to serving all families from all backgrounds, regardless of and in support of your religion, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, partnership constitution, gender expression, family make-up. It is YOUR birth and your family. |
