Northwest community midwives


Birth is not only about making babies . . . Birth is about making mothers ~ strong, competent, capable mothers who trust themselves
and know their 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. As midwives, we strive to nurture a woman's sense of personal strength and self-confidence, so that she may realize birth as an empowering experience. We believe that when birth is integrated into life as a family event, the family is strengthened as well.

We practice the Midwives Model of Care, providing individualized maternity services to women and families planning a homebirth or home waterbirth. Our midwives are mothers, have experienced giving birth at home and believe 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.

Each midwife is happy to answer any questions you may have in order to help you begin your journey to creating a joyful and empowering birth experience. After browsing the site, don't hesitate to email or call with questions or for a free consultation.
