Giving birth is one of the most miraculous and transforming events in a woman's life. Women have the innate ability to give birth with confidence and dignity. As women search for ways to reclaim the beauty and power of birth, more and more women choose to give birth with midwives.

Our practice will care for you and support your own personal plans for your unique labor and delivery.   We provide continuity of care in a warm and safe environment in a hospital that has promoted natural birth and waterbirth options for over 5 years.  Call us for a free tour and consultation with our certified nurse-midwife.

We are passionate about birth!

Waterbirthing Method
Relaxing in a warm bath to relieve pain has been used for everything from backache, aching muscles, strenuous exercise, or menstrual pain. More and more women are discovering how wonderful a pool of warm water can be during labor and birth.

Lying in warm water increases venous pressure so that veins can return blood to the heart more efficiently and your baby receives more oxygen. It enhances cardiac action and slows the pulse rate. Total relaxation in the warmth and comfort of the water helps the uterus to contract more effectively. Water also counteracts the force of gravity and any pressure a woman feels inside her body, so there is a further pain relieving effect. Water helps the woman surrender to the birth process and it creates a feeling of tranquility to the whole birth experience.

If your birthing plans include a waterbirth, we are highly experienced in waterbirth and recognize the many advantages of water such as comfort, pain relief, and freedom of movement.
