Hi, I’m Liz Derry Cox, CPM, LM. I’ve been a nurse since 1997 and a licensed midwife and DONA trained doula since 2010, and it has been one of the greatest privileges of my life to walk alongside women and families during pregnancy, birth, and the early postpartum period. I believe pregnancy and birth are normal, healthy life events, and that women deserve care that is both evidence-based and deeply personal. Every family has a unique story, and I strive to make sure each client feels heard, respected, informed, and supported every step of the way.
My approach combines the wisdom of midwifery with years of clinical experience. I take time to truly listen, answer questions thoroughly, and help families make informed decisions that align with their values. Whether you’re planning your first baby or have given birth before, my goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care that builds confidence rather than fear. I believe that when women are supported physically, emotionally, and educationally, they are more likely to experience a healthier pregnancy, a positive birth, and a smoother transition into parenthood. It is an honor to be trusted with such an important season of life, and I look forward to supporting your family on that journey.
I intentionally limit the total number of families I serve each month across all of my services—including midwifery, doula support, and pregnancy coaching. This allows me to provide unhurried, relationship-based care, be readily available when questions arise, and truly get to know each family I have the privilege of serving. My goal is for you to never feel like just another client, but to feel known, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout your journey.
Experience comprehensive, relationship-based midwifery care from pregnancy through 12 weeks postpartum—all from the comfort of your own home.
Unlike a traditional medical practice, all of your prenatal visits take place in your home, allowing for relaxed, unhurried appointments with plenty of time for education, questions, and personalized care. If you choose me as your primary maternity care provider, there is generally no need for routine prenatal visits with an OB or physician unless a medical concern arises that requires consultation or co-management.
Your care includes:
* Comprehensive prenatal care in your home
* Home birth attendance
* Routine prenatal lab work (included)
* Ordering and review of recommended ultrasounds
* Postpartum care for both mother and baby through 12 weeks
* Newborn assessments and care
* Breastfeeding support
* 24/7 on-call availability for your birth
* Direct access to my personal cell phone throughout your pregnancy
With nearly 30 years of nursing experience, over 15 years as a Registered Midwife, and more than 500 births attended, I provide evidence-based, individualized care while honoring the normal physiology of pregnancy and birth.
I intentionally keep my practice small and limit the total number of families I serve each month across all of my services. This allows me to provide exceptional availability, unhurried appointments, and the personalized, relationship-based care every family deserves.
My Approach
My Christian faith is an important part of who I am and has shaped the way I care for women and families—with compassion, respect, honesty, and a deep belief in the value of every mother and baby.
I joyfully care for families from all backgrounds, beliefs, and walks of life. Whether your faith is central to your pregnancy journey, you’re exploring your spirituality, or you don’t consider yourself religious at all, my commitment is the same: to provide personalized, evidence-based care that honors your values, respects your choices, and helps you feel safe, informed, and deeply supported every step of the way.

Liz was absolutely amazing as my midwife during the birth of my first child. Her calm presence and genuine care made the entire experience feel safe and supported. I’ve reached out to her many times since then for guidance on pregnancy, postpartum, nutrition, etc., and she always offers her wisdom with warmth and honesty. In this world where mothers often struggle to feel heard, she has created a special space of comfort, understanding, and compassion ❤️

I cannot recommend Liz highly enough. She was my midwife through two births, and I am so grateful for the exceptional care she provided throughout both pregnancies, deliveries, and postpartum recovery. From the very beginning, she was compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. She always took the time to answer every question, encouraged me when I needed it most, and made me feel truly cared for every step of the way.
Living where we do, Liz was the only midwife available, I truly believe God placed her in our path. The fact that she is a Christian made it even more evident to me that He was guiding our family to exactly the person we needed.
As a Christian midwife, Liz's faith was such a blessing to our family. She provided not only exceptional medical care but also spiritual encouragement, compassion, and peace during two of the most important experiences of our lives. Her kindness, integrity, and genuine heart for serving others were evident in every interaction.
I am so thankful for Liz and the incredible care she gave our family. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, faith-centered midwife. She made both of my birth experiences so positive, and I will always be grateful for the lasting impact she had on our family.

We have had the honor of working with Liz through two home water births. She is extremely knowledgeable and her calm manner, even in stressful situations, is highly admirable and appreciated. I would trust her time and time again to deliver our babies. She is the absolute best!!!

Liz is not only knowledgeable and trustworthy, she shows compassion and truly cares for the women she serves. On the rare occasion she doesn't have an answer to an issue or question, she will find the answer. Im no longer having babies, but I consider her a friend and mentor. 💜

Liz was the most amazing midwife! Having five children one set of twins and being a military family (moving a lot) so having to have a different Midwife with each Birth… Liz was by far my favorite midwife and my best birth experience! She was supportive and helped me through some Anemia so I could have my home birth! She coached my through life challenges and she made me feel comfortable and safe during the birth process!

Frequently asked questions
Do you attend home births?
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.
Where do prenatal visits take place?
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.
Why should I choose you as my midwife? What makes your practice different?
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.
Can I contact you between appointments?
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.
What happens if I need to transfer to the hospital?
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.
Do you work with first-time moms?
Yes! I care for both first-time parents and experienced families. My goal is to help every client feel informed, confident, and supported.
Is your online midwifery/ pregnancy coaching medical care?
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.
Who is this program for?
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.
Can you help if I don’t live in Colorado?
Yes! Since coaching is virtual, I work with women throughout the United States and internationally.
Can I continue my online midwifery care after the initial 12 weeks?
Absolutely. Many clients choose to continue with ongoing coaching through the remainder of pregnancy, birth preparation, postpartum, and the transition into parenthood.
What makes this different from taking a childbirth class?
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.
Why should I hire a pregnancy coach if I already have an OB or midwife?
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.
