What is a midwife?

Midwives are care providers for expecting families, they are trained professionals with expertise and skills in supporting the birthing person through a healthy pregnancy, optimal labor and birth, and a smooth transition during the postpartum period. Midwives provide families with individualized care uniquely suited to their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and cultural needs. They are experts in low-risk natural birth and are trained to recognize and safely manage events that present otherwise. Studies show that midwives decrease the risk of a cesarean, reduce rates of induction, augmentation, and interventions, decrease infant mortality rates, decrease the risk of preterm birth, increased chances of having a positive start to breastfeeding, and increased satisfaction of care from their provider (source).

Terri’s career as a birthwork began in 2013 after her second child was born. Her personal experience revealed a lack of community birthing options for out-of-hospital midwifery care in her area. This ignited her passion and desire to bring other options, but most importantly diversity to all birthing families in her community. She started her journey as a doula and birth assistant as she worked towards her goals of becoming a midwife.
