Everyone deserves a pregnancy and birth that is full of support and guidance from a loving midwife. Imagine a world where every woman (and her partner) enters parenthood that involves autonomy, informed decision-making, and TRUST.
Home birth is a viable, safe option for those who are low-risk and healthy and are committed to doing the work to maintain a healthy pregnancy.
Pregnancy is unique to each woman and baby and can certainly yield common discomforts. Our approach is to lend recommendations starting with the least invasive and most gentle approach including herbals, tinctures, bodywork, nutrition, and more. There is certainly a time and place for modern medicine and technology and is necessary at times.
The care model that is offered at Solace Birth Services, LLC involves care for the mother/baby unit from a two-midwife care team, an IBCLC lactation consultant for antenatal and postpartum support for successful breastfeeding, bodywork to optimize comfort in pregnancy and alignment to optimize a vaginal birth through chiropractic care from a Webster-certified practitioner, childbirth education specific for home birth, a newborn care specialist who can offer in-home care, and a hefty resource guide for more. Please note: traditional midwifery is not nurse-midwifery. We do not have prescriptive authority, affiliation or privileges to any hospital. Please be sure to understand the scope of traditional midwives vs. CNMs.
