Barbara Belcore-Walkden - Midwife

About Barbara

At Maitri Midwifery, we believe birth is a deeply human and transformative experience rooted in the body’s innate wisdom. Birth is not something to be controlled, but something to be supported with presence, patience, and trust. We center peace in the birth space, creating an environment where people feel safe, undisturbed, and respected so the natural rhythm of labor can unfold. We practice a gentle, hands off approach, honoring the physiology of birth and stepping in only when truly needed. We are grounded in the belief that true empowerment comes from autonomy. Every person deserves clear, evidence based information and the freedom to make decisions about their body, their care, and their baby. Our practice is inclusive and welcoming of all identities, backgrounds, and family structures, with care that is individualized and culturally aware. We approach pregnancy, birth, and postpartum holistically, honoring the physical, emotional, and spiritual experience and the lasting impact it holds.
