What to Expect at Moxie Midwifery

Homebirth is a safe option for low risk mothers and babies and it is important to find the best midwife for your family!

Your birth is important. You and your baby deserve attentive care that is respectful, evidence based and family centered.

What does midwifery care look like?

  • You and your midwife work together as a team. You are an active participant in your care.
  • Our time spent together helps to develop a trusting relationship.
  • Focusing on your nutrition and lifestyle will help you remain low-risk.
  • I recommend supplements, herbal teas, chiropractic, massage therapy or body balancing therapies as a way to customize care to your specific needs.
  • I love getting to know you, sharing motherhood moments and tidbits of wisdom. Appointments feel like chatting with a friend who is deeply invested in the health of you and your baby.
