Home Birth Midwifery Care

Choosing to give birth at home is usually more to do with feelings than statistics. Study’s found that for low risk women in the United States, planned home births are as safe as hospital births, and accomplished with much less medical intervention, compared with low risk hospital births. At Crowning Midwifery, we follow the Midwifery Model of Care. As a Crowning Midwifery client, we offer personalized care on the same schedule you would receive with an OBGYN.

Our services follow a concierge model which allows your Midwife to spend more one on one time with you (and your partner). We emphasize whole foods, culinary coaching, homeopathy, aromatherapy and herbal solutions, while readily equipped to administer pharmaceutical treatments when necessary.  Holistic measures are always our first choice.
