BIRTH IS NOT ONLY ABOUT MAKING BABIES……BIRTH IS ABOUT MAKING STRONG, COMPETENT,

                                                                             CAPABLE MOTHERS WHO TRUST THEMSELVES AND KNOW THEIR OWN INNER STRENGTH.

Northwest Community Midwives of Portland, Oregon view pregnancy and birth as a sacred passage – a fundamentally healthy process – not an institutional medical event.  We strive to nurture a woman’s sense of personal strength and self-confidence, so that she may realize birth as an empowering experience.  If you are looking for a Portland midwife who believes that when birth is integrated into life as a family event, the family is strengthened as well, we share your philosophy.

We practice the Midwives Model of Care, providing individualized maternity services to women and families planning a homebirth or home water birth.  Susan had a home birth and believes strongly in its transformational potential.

With expertise in normal childbirth, Portland’s NW Community Midwives help women claim trust in their body’s ability to safely and dependably give birth while promoting wellness and positive attitudes about birth and parenting.
