Planning a Home Birth
Pregnancy Health
Tracking the health of you and baby throughout your pregnancy is vital. Each prenatal visit is much more than just a checkup on growth and baby heart rate. We have hour long visits to get to know each other and discuss all things related to adding a baby to the family. Midwifery care is personalized care for your particular needs and wants.
Labor and Birth
Having a baby is a normal physiological process that doesn't need intervention the majority of the time. I honor your body's ability to grow, birth and feed a child. My goal is to guide you through a safe and satisfying birth experience on your terms.
Postpartum and Newborn Care
Midwife care is unlike any other in the attention and support you receive postpartum. More visits after the birth with a single provider for the Mom and baby dyad, helps ensure high breastfeeding success.
Meet the Midwife
Jean Hartley LM CPM IBCLC
I have been a licensed midwife since 2014. I have helped to welcome over 474 babies and have worked with so many wonderful families. I came to midwifery as a result of my own birth experiences. There were many things I wanted for my birth and also those I wanted to avoid. However, I did not feel heard or respected in the traditional hospital system with an OB. I knew that if I was feeling this way, surely other women were too. I changed careers, from lawyer to midwife, so that I could help families have a better pregnancy and birth experience-where physiological birth and family wishes are respected and honored.
