Welcome to Pure Birth Midwifery
A gentle, natural, undisturbed labor and birth are the ideal way for mother and baby to start out on their journey together. A woman who is supported in her strength during labor has the confidence to nourish and nurture her baby, and her baby is strong and healthy after a natural birth process. An out-of-hospital birth experience with a midwife is the best way to experience a Pure Birth.
When a woman chooses Pure Birth Midwifery, she experiences personal, one-on-one midwifery care. Her prenatal visits are complete and unrushed, usually lasting 45-60 minutes. This provides time to talk about her health, her nutrition, and her plans for birth and postpartum. Her midwife is always available by phone for questions or concerns, and because she has received individualized care, her midwife is familiar with her situation and can give informed advice and referral as needed.
Continuity of care continues through the labor and birth process: her midwife with be available to attend her through labor and birth whenever that may happen. The woman has the option of giving birth at home or in a birth center, in water or in any place and position of her choosing. The midwife supports the woman in being most knowledgeable about the best way to birth her baby. After birth, the midwife assesses the mother and baby and provides support for breastfeeding. Postpartum care is provided with the upmost respect for the mother-baby relationship.

Her practice is committed to providing continuous caring service to mothers and babies during pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period.
