OUR PHILOSOPHY

Pregnancy and childbearing are momentous events that impact both your life and your family’s life in unmeasurable ways. Our goal for you is a safe, positive, and empowering passage through pregnancy, childbirth, and the early months of parenting. We believe the goal is best achieved by midwives working in close collaboration with physicians. This belief is backed by years of research that shows this team approach to care leads to better experiences and directly correlates to better outcomes for you, your baby, and your family.
