GUARDING THE SACRED SPACE OF

EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE

For most, pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding are natural parts of life. But these experiences aren't just physical; they deeply affect the mind, spirit, and emotions of the birthing person and their loved ones. Home birth offers a personal, intimate setting for families wanting a natural experience surrounded by those they love.

Have you dreamed of a natural birth experience? Felt unsatisfied with a hospital birth? Imagine giving birth at home, with freedom to move, eat, and drink as you wish, free from medical interventions. This is homebirth: personal, respectful, and empowering.

I had such a sense of peace having you care for us & attend the birth of Kyle. Thank you & I wish you the best in the continued growth & success of the business you are so passionate about. You are certainly where you are meant to be. Thank you!" - Beth

  • “We had a great first homebirth with Erin! This was our 4th baby, and the experience with prenatal care and delivery was vastly different from my other birth center and hospital experiences. I felt respected and understood every step of the way, and even better, I felt heard. Every test was done with full consent and never once did she argue something I didn’t want to do. She came promptly when I was in labor and even checked in on me around my guess date to see how things were going before she went too far from home since I have fast labors. She helped us get pictures that I had wanted after the baby was born and was super patient while we had our first latch and skin to skin for at least an hour before doing any exams. All-in-all, Erin is a gem and I’m so happy she is now in our community!”

  • “Thanks so much! By the way, Eldon and I are still amazed at how awesome you and Abby were during birth! Really appreciate the way you handled everything. It was totally worh driving up for the last 9 months. Thanks again! I wish you lived closer, I would Recommend you to all of my friends.”

  • “I delivered our VBAC baby on December 6th! Erin and her fellow midwives did a fantastic job! she's so caring and knowledgeable it's easy to feel at ease and prepared for birth at home our daughters shoulder was stuck and Erin quickly told me to switch positions and was able to get our daughter safely earth side without any tearing on mama's end. I'm so thankful to have had her at our birth, she truly is the best!”
