Testimonials
"Audra is an outstanding person and amazing midwife. She is loving, connective, professional and compassionate. I was grateful to have her support during pregnancy and for the home birth of my third child. If I choose to have another child, I will look forward to having Audra as a part of my birth team again."

Home Birth



When you birth in the comfort of your own home, you have the freedom to move, listen to your body, and be as you need to be. You can create an environment that allows the natural process to happen. Midwives trust the innate wisdom of birth parents and babies. We know giving birth is a natural process and that intervention is generally not necessary. Every person should feel safe in the environment in which they give birth. A gentle, supported, and healthy birth creates a life long imprint of connection, peace, and empowerment for the family.
​
Many families we work with choose a waterbirth. Water is a great tool for easing labor and a creating a gentler birth for baby. You can rent a birth pool or purchase one to own. Clean up is easy too.
​
To learn more about our services, please schedule a free introductory appointment. Home birth is safest for people with low risk pregnancies. Ask the midwife, if you are not sure if your pregnancy is low risk. A health screening is part of the care we provide.
​
Your midwives can connect you to the birth community by providing referrals to childbirth educators, supportive practitioners and more.
​
Craniosacral Therapy
​
Craniosacral Therapy supports the bodies innate healing, nourishes the nervous system, and helps relieve stress and tension. It is a light-touch healing modality, great during pregnancy or anytime in life. Sessions last about an hour. To schedule an appointment, contact Audra. Audra received her training from the Upledger Institute.
