Midwifery

Professional Midwifery Model of Care

Maternal Wisdom Midwifery is committed to assisting women and their families to achieve the birth they desire through natural and holistic means.
The care I provide is both highly skilled and individualized to meet each birthing family's specific needs.
As a home birth midwife, I am respectful of the physiological, emotional, spiritual, and cultural aspects of the birthing process.
My role as your midwife can take many forms. I nurture, listen, advise, inform, guide, observe, and I reassure; and while I am trained to rescue, very rarely do I need to.
Maternal Wisdom Midwifery strives to truly be "with women" which is the very essence of midwifery care. I believe that women and their families deserve the benefit of both skilled midwifery care and sensitivity to all the aspects of welcoming a new child.

As an independent practitioner, I work in collaboration with a Hospital based Practitioner . This complementary system allows for positive, holistic and safe care for out of hospital birth.
Clients are encouraged to visit the complementary care provider once per trimester in order to develop a relationship the provider. Should an occasion arise wherein my client would need care outside of my scope of practice, this relationship would afford seamless continuity of care.
Prenatal appointments in the Midwifery Model of care are a time to build personal, warm, and trusting relationships, to empower women about their changing bodies, and to encourage health and creative participation.
Holistic care is important in order to provide optimal midwifery care.
Pregnancy and childbirth are not isolated experiences but rather pivotal and powerful transitions in a woman’s life. Acknowledging this, care during this time must be all encompassing, addressing multiple aspects of health and preparation.
