The Midwifery Model of Care

  • Midwife literally means “with woman,” referring to the countless individuals since the beginning of time who have tirelessly supported birthing people as they work to bring their baby earthside.

  • The midwifery model of care views pregnancy and birth as normal events of a woman’s reproductive life cycle which are most often best supported with minimal intervention.

  • Midwives are experts at overseeing healthy, low risk pregnancy and birth, and have a deep trust in and respect for the process.

  • This intimate familiarity with normal pregnancy and birth also makes midwives experts at identifying if and when complications begin to arise, allowing them to make decisions to safeguard the health of mother and baby.

  • The midwifery model of care considers all aspects of a person’s health to be important, including physical, emotional, spiritual, and social factors.

  • Our midwifery model is personalized, time-intensive, and evidence-based, and encourages clients and their families to be active participants in their care.
