Welcome!
“You are a midwife, assisting at someone else’s birth. Do good without show or fuss. Facilitate what is happening rather than what you think ought to be happening. If you must take the lead, lead so that the mother is helped, yet still free & in charge. When the baby is born, the mother will rightly say, “We did it ourselves!” - From The Tao Te Ching

Prenatal Care
Prenatal care is the development of a relationship between you & your midwife. We love to get to know you, your significant other, your children, and other support persons who will be present at your birth. After your initial visit, the subsequent visit will be 45 -60 minutes of one-on-one time with the midwife.

Labor & Birth
Preparing for the arrival of your sweet baby is such a precious time. As your midwives, we are on call for your labor and birth 24/7. As you near your due date, we will review your detailed birth plan and discuss “when to call the midwife.” Once we determine that active labor is established, when we arrive at your home, we enter your birthing environment calmly and quietly, joining you as you labor.
LEARN MOREHow lucky I felt to have received care with such an amazing midwife! Lakieta welcomed me & listened attentively to my spoken & unspoken needs. I lost my father at the beginning of my pregnancy & she was the epitome of a great midwife. She provided care that went beyond my medical care & gave space for me to make all of the important decisions in my pregnancy. I couldn't have asked for a better prenatal experience & would highly recommend getting care with her!
