The midwives at Hearth and Home Midwifery view pregnancy and birth as natural, physiologic processes. We believe that these events are intimately connected to what it is to be human, and that birth offers an opportunity for empowerment and profound learning about one’s self. These beliefs are the foundation of the way we practice. During the prenatal period, we work to build trusting relationships with our clients in order to maximize the safety and emotional connection during the course of each client’s care. We offer continuity of care and informed consent as a central tenet of our philosophy; we know that each person is different and therefore each birth will be different. Our practice offers family centered, evidence-based, individualized care. We also offer water birth, doula services, placenta encapsulation and childbirth education. We serve clients in Portland and the surrounding areas, as well as Hood River counties.
