Midwifery Care in Oregon's Mid-Valley

I am a Certified Professional Midwife (and an Oregon-licensed Direct-Entry Midwife) who attends home births in Albany, Corvallis, Lebanon, Sweet Home, Salem, Eugene, and the surrounding areas, as well as providing doula support for births at many of our local hospitals. I've attended about 500 births to date.

I officially merged with MidValley Birthing Services in spring 2016. We are a unique home birth group practice, now with five midwives and several students. You can find our website at http://www.midvalleybirthingservices.com/

Our ideal clients are parents who know what they want out of their birth experience. They are the comfortable being the decision makers for themselves and their babies. They are people who are planning low-intervention births, and in hiring me and my assistants, set the team in place who they know will give them their best chance of achieving their goals.

When you choose us as your midwives, in addition to the standard prenatal care (blood pressure, fetal heart tones, etc) you'll have focused one on one time with one of our midwives at each appointment, as well as direct access to your primary midwife via phone call or text all throughout pregnancy and postpartum.

We offer water birth, breastfeeding support, and access to a network of local professionals. I can come to you for appointments, so you'll enjoy prenatal and postpartum care in the comfort of your own home, or you can have appointments at one of our offices. We are able to care for both mom and baby through six weeks postpartum.
