For pre-conception, pregnancy, birth and postpartum for you & your baby.

We follow the same appointment schedule in pregnancy as a typical OB.

Whether you’re planning for a future home birth, or are 6 weeks or 32 weeks pregnant we’d love to support your journey into parenthood!

We are committed to supporting you physically and emotionally, throughout your pregnancy. Your prenatal care is an opportunity for us to build a trusting relationship, educate you about the physiological processes of pregnancy and birth, and learn from you about your body, your baby, and your birth preferences.

We believe that these elements work in harmony to create positive birth experiences. Together, we laugh, cry, and we grow, fostering a nurturing environment for you and your growing family.

Midwifery care with us is still an option! We offer a midwifery care package that covers all of your prenatal and postpartum appointments. For your birth we offer a doula to accompany you in the hospital if desired. You do have the option to labor at the birth center before it’s time to be admitted for additional support.

This is perfect for families not comfortable having their baby out of hospital. We offer co-care for high risk pregnancies where you would need to establish care with our consulting physician and or a MFM.

We have recently transitioned and are no longer in-network providers. You can find more information here on insurance reimbursement.
