Michelle and Jessica attended their first birth together in 2008 and began practicing together in 2010. We are licensed midwives who live in and serve our local community using evidence-based practice, rooted in the best that science has to offer, along with all the cultural tools that have served our communities for many generations, such as the use of herbs, traditional remedies, and the rebozo (shawl).

Our practice offers homebirth services and home visiting for families that wish to birth in the comfort and safety of their own home. We are specially trained to meet the needs of clients during the prenatal, birth, and postpartum periods outside of a hospital setting. We take ample time with our clients and their loved ones before the birth in order to build a relationship of respect and trust upon which we can provide the highest standard of care. Throughout our care we share information about risks and benefits of routine procedures and make sure that all decisions that are made are collaborative in nature and reflect the needs and desires of our clients.

We also offer our comprehensive prenatal and postpartum care for women who choose to have their babies in one of our local hospitals. We are privileged to work in collaboration with hospital providers in our community and we are happy to offer our high quality care regardless of the intended place of birth. We continue our care for all of our clients after the birth for both mom and baby. We provide assistance with breastfeeding and continue screening for common problems to help facilitate a successful adjustment for the mom, baby and family.
