What Holistic Midwifery Care Looks Like
Prenatal Care and Visit Schedule
Prenatal care builds trust between you and your midwife. Our licensed midwives in Brooklyn and on Long Island monitor your health and your baby's throughout pregnancy, with time in each visit for the questions you didn't get to ask last time.
Postpartum Care at home
This is to help mothers recover physically and emotionally after giving birth and throughout the postpartum journey. Midwives attend your home within 24 to 48 hours of birth to assess the condition of the mother and newborn. During these visits, we assist with breastfeeding, provide individualized care and guidance on how a mother can care for herself and the baby.
Where You Can Give Birth: Home or Our Birthing Suites
You can give birth at home or in one of our birthing suites in Brooklyn or Hewlett. Either way, your midwife supports natural, mother-led birth, uses fetal monitoring to keep track of you and your baby, and avoids intervention unless it's needed. We also support water birth for people who want it.
Gynecological Care
Midwives can provide gynecological care as well as pregnancy care. Our licensed midwives handle routine well-woman visits and ongoing women's health concerns.
