Services
Prenatal CareWe offer prenatal care with visits primarily in our Salem or McMinnville offices, and a home visit near the end of pregnancy. Hour long visits allow us time for education and emotional support in addition to monitoring your health and your baby's development. Prenatal care focuses on nutrition, emotional wellbeing, and supporting partners and siblings.

Home BirthGiving birth, fully in your power, is an experience you will remember for a lifetime. Whether you desire a lot of physical support or tend more towards privacy, we individualize labor support based on your specific needs and can offer alternative methods of pain management like waterbirth, massage, homeopathy, and working with your physiology.
|
Postpartum CareWe place a high priority on rest and full recovery after giving birth, and help you strategize how to mobilize your community to make this happen. Midwives take care of moms and babies for the first six weeks postpartum; we help with breastfeeding, monitor baby's weight gain, and we're also likely to make you a pot of soup while we're visiting.

Craniosacral therapy for babiesCraniosacral Therapy is a gentle yet profound bodywork modality. It can help babies with feeding issues (shallow latch, preferring one side, tight jaw), digestive issues (reflux, spitting up, infrequent bowel movements), colic, torticollis, general discomfort, head shaping, and more. Ask Jen about CST treatments for your baby. Read more here.

Sneak peek
While we don't believe that you can tell the gender of your child by testing for their sex chromosomes at 7 weeks gestation, we offer SneakPeak because some of our clients find this to be another way to bond with their baby, and we wholeheartedly support families connecting!
