Your struggles to find good care end here! Here’s how we can work together.
Choosing midwifery care and a home birth is a choice for the modern, traditional or savvy families who prioritize a pregnancy and birth experience that’s both personalized and safe. You’re looking for a holistic approach to pregnancy and birth, one that’s grounded in a deep understanding of who you are and your unique needs. At Roots Midwifery, you’re not just a client or a number to us, you’re a partner in this process. Our goal isn’t just about delivering your baby, it’s about nurturing you during this life-changing journey in a true reflection of your values and choices.
Research consistently shows that midwifery-led care and home births are associated with lower intervention rates, shorter recovery times, and reduced stress for both parents and newborns. Choosing out-of-hospital midwifery care and birthing at home is gaining momentum for a reason – it’s empowering, it’s tailored, and it’s proven. However, it’s not only about what research says; it’s about the relationship we build, it’s a connection that goes beyond providing clinical care. As your midwife I’m your guide, your confidant, your advocate – ensuring that every step is taken with your well-being in mind. Come find out for yourself.
Be heard. Feel safe. Feel supported by your care provider.

In our practice, you’ll receive complete inclusive prenatal and postpartum care including screenings, blood work, and ultrasounds. We place you in the driver’s seat, giving you full autonomy over your body, your choices and birth experience. Our prenatal visits allow time to build a relationship, ask questions, focus on healthy habits and make space for the physical, emotional and practical preparation for birth and life as newborn parents.
The midwifery team is on call for you the weeks before and after your expected due date. During labor, you have the freedom to move, eat, drink, find comfort in the birth pool and decide who you want in your birth space. Throughout the entire process, our midwifery team is dedicated to offering you continuous support while being prepared with the necessary equipment to prioritize your and your baby’s safety.
