{Providing Connecticut with professional, wholistic, woman-centered care for the childbearing year and beyond}

Philosophy of care

Homebirth is a safe option for healthy mom’s seeking alternatives
to “medicalized” birth.  Midwives are trained in normal out-of-
hospital birth, and to recognize early signs of complications. At
home women have the freedom to labor and birth in familiar
surroundings as they instinctively desire while being monitored by
midwives in an unobtrusive way.  The result is a gentle birth where
the baby is welcomed into the world with loving hands

Is Homebirth for You?

Services

I place great emphasis in developing relationships with my clients, and meeting their
unique and individual needs.  I provide wholistic care that embodies all aspects of women’s
lives including their physical and mental well-being, and spiritual values.

   ~ Homebirth        
   ~ Hospital Labor Support (Doula care)
   ~ Attentive prenatal and postpartum care
   ~ Preconception counseling
   ~ Well-woman gynecological care
   ~ Natural family planning

A woman opens and brings her baby into the world most effectively when she is in a safe
environment with people she trusts.  I work with families to create their ideal birth
experience in or out the hospital.
