“Knowing you were the one there helping my daughter gave me a lot of peace and I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you and the love you’ve shown my daughter.”
Grandma Rindy
“I can’t thank you enough for the gift of this pregnancy
and delivery experience. I wish every woman could have the
genuine care, support, comfort, freedom, wisdom and
knowledge that you provided.” Dee
“These two are amazing and made my home birth such an excellent experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for a provider who really gets to know you and is a skilled and supportive partner through the whole experience, Bethel and Noa are it! I’m with them now for number two on the way and never for a second would have considered going anywhere else.”
– Jessica & Jeremiah McClung
What We Believe
We believe and trust in birth.
We believe in women, and find their strength amazing-every time.
We believe that babies have the right to be treated gently and respectfully- in every birth.We believe every family has the right to be well cared for, respected, and honored during the birth of their child, whether it is their first, or their sixth.
A Birth Team You Can Trust
Every birth is unique and everyone who embarks on their journey through pregnancy and childbirth deserves having a team that will support them. It’s important to us that this rite of passage is treated as one of the most sacred experience that you will hold forever.
