Personalized, Holistic Midwifery New York & Long Island
At Holistic Birthing Center NYC, we partner with Holistic Midwifery New York, where licensed midwives are committed to providing a low-risk pregnancy and childbirth experience. Our care model is for supporting women who want a natural experience with minimal medical intervention throughout pregnancy.
Comprehensive
Prenatal Care
Parental care builds trust between you and your midwife. Our licensed Long Island midwives regularly check on your health and your baby. They support you with nutrition, a soothing environment, and your birth journey. They schedule home visits once a month for the first 28 weeks. Then every 2 to 3 weeks from 28 to 36 weeks. And every week for the final stages, before delivery.
Postpartum Care
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.
Home Birth and Natural Birth
We support natural, mother-led birth with services like homebirth, waterbirth, and hypnobirthing. Our licensed midwives focus on safety and trust your body's ability to give birth. We use fetal monitoring and avoid unnecessary interventions so that you can have a calm, supported birth experience in the comfort of your own home.
Holistic Gynecology
Our licensed midwives provide routine care for prenatal checkups and help with complex gynecological issues. We understand the underlying cause, lifestyle, and long-term health outcomes, and take action. These can range from natural remedies to conventional therapies.
