The Natural Birth & Women’s Associates practice is based on a philosophy of client education, participation and choice. Our beliefs are deeply rooted in the knowledge that birth is natural and that respect for nature and the laboring woman and her family is essential. Our main concern is that birth be a safe, loving and joyful event. We believe that a pregnant woman needs information, support and gentle guidance. Our care is provided by licensed midwives who are experienced and qualified to independently manage the care of healthy women throughout their childbearing years. Women in need of more specialized care are collaboratively managed with our physicians.

Our services include:

• Extensive initial interview with in depth questions and answers.
• Full history and complete physical exam.
• Nutritional analysis, review and counseling.
• Information on genetic screening exercise recommendations, father's concerns, sex during pregnancy, breastfeeding, circumcision, physical and emotional changes during pregnancy birth and the post-partum period.
• We identify individuals needs, offer birth options, and develop a birth plan.
• Provide comprehensive holistic childbirth classes.
