Midwifery care is a radical form of care during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum practiced throughout time and all over the world. As long as babies were being born, there were midwives present with steady guidance and support.

About Midwifery

As long as babies were being born and families were being made, there were midwives present with steady, guidance and support. At Island Midwife, we provide care for families during the prenatal, labor and birth, and postpartum times. We have evolved our comprehensive practice based on clinical skills and continuing education, the latest research, and the deep knowledge of pregnant people and midwives who came before us. It is a holistic practice focused on the whole person, baby, and family.

Many of our families come to us planning to birth a home. Homebirth has been proven to be a safe option for low risk clients in large part because of the continuity of care – we are your providers from pregnancy to postpartum – that builds a relationship of trust between us. You know we’ll be there with you and your family not only through pregnancy, but during your labor and birth, and through at least 6 weeks of postpartum care.
