Liz Derry Cox

Yes. I provide comprehensive home birth midwifery care for healthy, low-risk families in the Denver area, including prenatal care, labor and birth support, postpartum care, and newborn care.

One of the unique aspects of my practice is that prenatal visits are typically held in the comfort of your own home, allowing for relaxed, unhurried appointments without the need to travel.

Every midwife brings unique strengths to her practice, and one of mine is the breadth of both my professional and personal experience. I’ve been a licensed nurse since 1997 and a licensed midwife since 2010, giving me nearly three decades of caring for women and families. I’ve attended more than 500 births and have experience with a wide variety of situations, including breech births, twin births, VBACs, and VBA2Cs—experience that has become increasingly uncommon in many parts of the country. Before becoming a licensed midwife, I also completed doula training, which strengthened my ability to provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support throughout labor and birth. I’m also the mother of six grown children, and I’ve personally experienced both hospital births and home births. Those experiences have given me a deep appreciation for the importance of individualized care, informed decision-making, and feeling truly supported during pregnancy and birth. I don’t believe women should have to choose between compassionate, relationship-centered care and excellent clinical care. My goal is to provide both. One of the things that makes my practice unique is the level of personal attention you’ll receive. Prenatal visits are typically held in the comfort of your own home, allowing plenty of time for questions, education, and meaningful conversation. You’ll also have my personal cell phone number so you can reach me between appointments when questions or concerns arise. I believe some of the most important conversations happen outside of scheduled visits, and I want you to feel supported every step of the way. I’m also proud of the outcomes my practice has achieved. My labor transport rate is approximately 3%, my cesarean birth rate is slightly under 3%, and my transfer-of-care rate during pregnancy is approximately 0.5%. While every pregnancy is unique and no outcome can ever be guaranteed, I believe these results reflect careful client selection, thoughtful risk assessment, evidence-based care, and a deep commitment to protecting normal physiologic birth whenever it is safe to do so. Above all, I want every family to feel heard, respected, informed, and genuinely cared for. My hope is that long after your baby is born, you’ll look back and remember not only your birth, but how supported and empowered you felt throughout the entire journey.

Absolutely. You’ll have my direct phone number so you can reach out with questions or concerns throughout your pregnancy. I’m also on call for labor and urgent pregnancy concerns.

If a transfer becomes necessary, I’ll accompany you to the hospital whenever possible and continue supporting you throughout your labor as your advocate and support person.

Yes! I care for both first-time parents and experienced families. My goal is to help every client feel informed, confident, and supported.

No. Pregnancy coaching complements—not replaces—your prenatal care. I work alongside your healthcare provider by helping you understand your options, review recommendations, interpret common lab results, prepare questions for appointments, and support healthy lifestyle choices.

The program is ideal for women who want more personalized guidance during pregnancy, including those with higher-risk pregnancies, previous birth trauma, pregnancy after loss, IVF pregnancies, or anyone who simply wants more support than a typical prenatal visit provides.

Yes! Since coaching is virtual, I work with women throughout the United States and internationally.

Absolutely. Many clients choose to continue with ongoing coaching through the remainder of pregnancy, birth preparation, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood.

Instead of one-size-fits-all education, you’ll receive individualized support from an experienced licensed midwife. Every recommendation and discussion is tailored to your health history, pregnancy, goals, and concerns.

Most prenatal appointments are relatively short and focus on clinical care. Coaching gives you additional time to ask questions, understand your options, review lab results and recommendations, develop personalized strategies to support a healthy pregnancy, and process appointments afterward. Think of it as having an experienced licensed midwife in your corner between appointments, helping you feel informed, supported, and confident throughout your pregnancy.
