If you’re seeking a holistic, low-intervention approach, a midwife might be your answer. Midwives provide personalized care during pregnancy, labor, and delivery, focusing on your health and comfort. Think of us as the calm voice in your ear, answering your questions and knowing how to handle any bumps.
While midwives attend about 12% of births, OB/GYNs are the traditional experts in the hospitals. These highly trained specialists handle every foreseeable and unexpected complication related to pregnancy, labor, and delivery.

There are several differences between OB-GYNs and midwives, but at our practice, these two medical professionals collaborate to ensure your pregnancy and childbirth go smoothly and according to your preferred plan.
Certified nurse midwives aren’t doctors but possess a midwife certification, a bachelor’s degree in nursing, a master’s degree or a doctorate degree. Midwives assist in births for women with lower-risk pregnancies who undergo vaginal deliveries.
We offer home births and deliveries in birthing centers, birth suites, and hospitals. Midwives take a holistic (non-medicated) approach to care but refer women to a hospital if any complications arise. Certified nurse midwives often work alongside OB/GYNs.
They provide the following services and more:
Midwives can first assist in C-Sections, perform circumcision and or care for patients with other risk factors with collaboration of an ObGyn.
