Another Option for Homebirthers in the Verde Valley!!
I am excited to announce the opening of a new midwifery practice that caters to the women of Northern Arizona--Red Rock Midwifery. I began my study of midwifery years ago and founded this practice for the same reason. I believe in options for birthing women, and more distinctly, I believe in women having a range of choices when birthing at home. I see being a midwife as this delicate blend of knowledge, compassion, service and intimacy with the women and families I attend. There is a midwife for every woman, and so it is with joy that I make available another option.
So, what's different about me, or the care I provide, you might ask? When beginning this path, I was rooted strongly in knowing all I can, using it when necessary, but also in providing women with the information to make their own choices. I'd like to think I am the kind of midwife that will leave you more informed, and therefore more confident and empowered then you may have realized you were--all the while feeling safe and protected with the love, attention and skill you receive and observe from me.
I am dedicated to women, and to babies. I am not a "practice" in the medical sense of the word--every visit I make to you, before, during and after birth, is in the comfort of your own home. I make every effort to get to know your family and your life, so that my presence at your sacred birth is unobtrusive and welcome. In every sense of the word, I strive to be "with woman"--the true meaning of "midwife".
