Prenatal Care

Our prenatal care offers mothers the opportunity to grow in health and wellness for this pregnancy, and for life after this pregnancy. Most common pregnancy complaints are addressed through nutrition and movement. We then offer complementary therapies as needed. These can include; herbal remedies, homepathic remedies, nutritional supplements, acupuncture, chiropractic care, and sometimes (a lot of the times!) a warm bath with a bag of Epsom salts - it solves loads. The visits are done both in home, and in our beautiful and easily accessible Oakland office.

LABOR & DELIVERY

During labor and delivery we offer you the best of our experience, knowledge and intuition. Having nearly a dozen kids between us, we have been in our shoes mama! Not one of us wishes we had one more contraction. With consistent monitoring, we ensure that mom and baby are handling labor well and continue to be good candidates for midwifery care. Our birth kit comes with everything you need to keep your home neat and tidy throughout the birthing process.

POSTPARTUM

Postpartum care with midwives is a treat! From the same place the baby was born, we monitor breastfeeding, healing and marvel over all of baby's milky smiles. Shannon is a lactation consultant, and we have a staff lactation consultant, Jennifer, who both see to it that breastfeeding gets off to a smooth start, no matter what that may look like. Saying goodbye is the hardest part, but the entire team meets for one final visit where we leave you with the best of our mother's wisdom and say adieu until next time!
