Homebirth Midwife in Greater Boston | Roots Midwifery
Midwifery & Doula Care Where You're Known, Heard, and Supported.
Experience unhurried care, clear answers, and support for your choices during pregnancy through the early weeks with your baby with an expert midwife or an experienced doula.
Above and Beyond Typical Maternity Care
Supportive Care with You in Mind
Workshops and Classes To Prepare You
Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting Come with Enough Unknowns.
Your care shouldn't add to them. You deserve clear answers and a team that walks you through every step, so you're never left figuring it out on your own.
Not Enough Time
When conversations feel rushed, there may be little room for your questions, preferences, or the things that matter beyond the basics.
Too Much Information
Advice comes from everywhere. Sorting through what applies to you, what you can trust, and what actually matters can become overwhelming..
Support That Falls Short
Having a provider or birth plan does not always mean you feel prepared or well supported when questions arise, plans change, or you simply need more guidance.
We Make Room for More
More conversation. More preparation. More attention to the things that help you feel informed, ready, and genuinely cared for.
01
Care Built
Around You
We get to know you before asking you to fit into a plan. Your needs, preferences, questions, family, and goals help shape how we care or support you.
02
Straight Answers, Informed Choices
We explain what is happening, your options, and our recommendations in language that makes sense. Then we make room for your questions and provide answers so you can make decisions you feel good about.
03
Prepare Beyond
the Birth
We don't just prepare you for labor and stop there. We help you think ahead to recovery, feeding, newborn care, changing family needs, and those first weeks at home because being prepared for what comes after matters too.
Why Roots Midwifery? Because You Deserve Better
Stephanie Johnson, Midwife, Founder of Roots Midwifery
After years of sitting with families through pregnancy, birth, and those first tender weeks with a new baby, one thing has become clear: the way you are cared for matters just as much as the clinical care. I’ve heard the questions families were afraid to ask, watched them try to make sense of conflicting advice, and seen how different the experience can feel when someone takes the time to listen, explain, and prepare them for what’s ahead.
Hi, I’m Stephanie Johnson. As a midwife with over 15 years in the pregnancy and postpartum space, those experiences have shaped the way I care for families today. I’ve built a practice where clinical knowledge and personal attention belong together, along with experienced guidance, honest conversations that considers not only how you give birth, but how you want to experience the journey and the transition that follows.

Imagine Feeling Ready for What Comes Next
Not because you can plan every moment, but because you’re ready for what comes with the right support beside you.
Picture going into appointments knowing there’s time to talk. Going into birth knowing your options and having people beside you who understand what matters to you. Then coming home with your baby knowing what to expect, what to pay attention to, and who to call when you have questions.
You Have a Voice
You can ask what’s on your mind, share what matters to you, and understand your choices before making a decision.
You Feel Ready for Birth
You have talked through labor, considered your options, practiced ways to cope, and know how the people around you plan to support you.
You’re Prepared for After
You come home with your baby knowing more about recovery, feeding, newborn care, and who to turn to when questions come up.
You Know Who to Call
When questions come up or something doesn’t go as expected, you know who to call. You have people who already know you and can help you figure out what comes next.
