Hospital Birth
Built for those who have decided to have their baby in the hospital for any reason. We've got your back and will support you in whatever you may need, from collaborative care, to education, to informing you of your rights. Midwives are not doulas, but we can offer medical care alongside of your doctors care, in collaboration to, or in addition to the needs that you may have. Our goal is to make midwifery care accessible for all. So if you are planning a hospital birth, you can work with us too!

This care has also been called Montrice care and support. Although I cannot fully take on that title as I will not be providing labor support in the hospital, this service and any variance of it is close to my heart. My sister recently gave birth and I was able to provide care that her doctor and CNMs at the hospital had not. Visits were infrequent, and often left her with more questions. I was able to educate and offer more guidance than she had access to during the short visits in office. It is so important to have all the knowledge and education you can at birth. The birthing body knows what to do and I am here to support you in this journey no matter what it looks like.
