While we do recognize the importance of a higher scrutiny of protection during this time, we also want you to feel that you have options. Many people are specifically seeking out midwifery care, or out of hospital birth, to both avoid the high stakes that are being placed on pregnant people and their families during this time, along with still feeling like their values of birth are being upheld. 

Masks: We are currently not wearing masks or asking our clients to wear masks.

Your midwifery care team is not wearing a mask and will not ask the birthing person or other support members to wear a mask. 


The number of people at your birth does not need to be restricted.

We are currently not asking our clients to wear a mask but if it is your preference to wear a mask, we will wear one too. There is no limit on who you can bring with you to an appointment - your kids, your friends, your family are all welcome to participate in this exciting time in your life!

If you'd like to participate in some virtual visits, you are welcome to. It is considered reasonable and safe to have a virtual visit every other appointment - or as follows below.
