After 9 months of intimate care, we naturally become bonded and that helps me know how to support you during labor and birth. Whether you need extra strength, have to make a hard decision or just need an extra dose of patience to allow your body to relax, I’ll be by your side the entire time.

Forget what you have seen in the movies! There is no chaotic rush to get to the hospital, no contractions in the car.
When you are in labor, we will set up your comfy HOMEBIRTH suite. We will diffuse some oils, if you have chosen, and we will dim the lights. If you are in active labor, we often start the tub when we arrive. (If we have time, baby Aimsley arrived 15 minutes after our arrival).
We come in with a smile, and a reminder to breathe, snack and pee! We will get your vitals and your baby’s heart tones when you are ready, and we will continue to monitor you and your baby quietly and gently throughout labor.
When it’s time to push, we will help you find your own rhythm. Pushing should not be like an Olympic sport! Gentle pushing allows your perineum to stretch, minimizing tearing, and allows your baby to be well oxygenated, minimizing any fetal distress. We love the more patient, gentle approach to easing your baby into your arms.
After the birth, we know you just want to love and explore your new baby. We protect your golden hour! We will make sure you have hydration and a bite to eat, but we love to wait a few hours before we do the newborn exam — even though we do it on the bed next to you!
