Welcome, we are the River Valley Midwives.
- As midwives,
we are the gatekeepers of the woman and family's birth experience.
- We believe in
the power of women and their ability to give birth.
- We humble ourselves
to the service of attending your birth in your home. There are no territorial
issues, thus empowering a woman and her family to set the tone for their
experience. In your own space, surrounded by the people you have chosen to
be present, you set the tone for your birth.
- We strive to hold no preconceptions of how birth "should" take place.
- We collaborate with other trusted practitioners, physicians and hospital based midwives to ensure comprehensive and safe prenatal, birth and postpartum care.
- We also work with acupuncturists, psychotherapists, chiropractors, homeopathic and naturopathic practitioners, massage therapists, herbalists and doulas to create a holistic experience for your birth.
- We understand
that giving birth is the beginning of an even longer journey of parenthood. We
are here to support you continuously through the transition from pregnant
woman to nursing new mother.
- We at River Valley Midwives know that it is our chosen path to serve women, children and families.
- While our pathways
to midwifery are all quite different, we are aligned in our destined work,
and honor the whole process of each woman's birth journey.
- The River Valley
Midwives have been attending births anywhere from 7-17+ years, and combined
have attended nearly 1400 births.
May your path
be blessed ... thanks for visiting our site
