I'm a licensed homebirth midwife serving Boulder, Longmont, the Peak-to-Peak and Northern Colorado. I've been attending births since 2001 and launched my midwifery practice in 2009. I'm an Enneagram 3; Capricorn Sun, Libra Moon & Libra Rising; and Empress Tarot archetype. When I work with families in the perinatal time, we engage in a soul-level contract together. I love holding space as women go deeply within and are transformed by the sacred space of birth. I value informed decision-making, critical thinking, connection, and hugs. Learning and sharing knowledge brings me joy. I'm trained in several Bodywork modalities: craniosacral and myofascial release, and the Arvigo techniques of Maya abdominal therapy. It's a great honor to teach at birth conferences and lead classes & workshops in my community. I bring extensive knowledge of herbs, homeopathy, flower essences and nutritional supplements. Being truly holistic, I also use conventional medicine when indicated. I'm a married mother of two home-birthed and naturally raised children. I'm also an herbalist, gardener, hiker and rollerblader.

Adrienne is an incredible human and midwife -- we are eternally grateful we found her! She is supportive, warm, wise, funny, relatable, patient, knowledgable, and grounded. We had a dream water birth at home! And a great start with our newborn baby boy. We used a different midwife with our daughter and the difference was so vast -- Adrienne made me feel so supported and safe, and I know that helped us have the birth we desired. I also loved all the little touches Adrienne did, like postpartum snack mixes for digestion, the "closing the bones" ceremony at 6 weeks, and the placenta art just to name a few. I wish we were having another baby and that we could work with Adrienne again!

In Hebrew, "Qavah" means to wait, hope, and expect. That’s my primary intention alongside the families I serve. I support parents through pregnancy, birth, and those intense, beautiful early weeks postpartum. I'm all about safe, evidence-based care that respects your choices and honors your unique birth journey. I'm here to listen, support, and care for you every step of the way. I've spent over 25 years in women's health, community health, and hospice care. Practicing midwifery has been my lifelong dream. My true passion is partnering with women throughout their entire health journey. After years of working within the hospital system, I chose to return birth to its natural setting: the home. I believe that birth is not a crisis to be managed, but a powerful, transformative experience that deserves time, trust, and tenderness. When I'm not supporting growing families, I'm usually outdoors exploring, whether it be traveling to a new place, hiking a trail, skiing a powdery slope, or out on the water kayaking. At home, you can find me looking up new recipes, baking, or drinking a cup of coffee and enjoying a good conversation.

Our family is so thankful for Bonnie! I felt very safe and supported with Bonnie's calm demeanor and wealth of knowledge . Although this was my 6th child, it was our first home birth. I only wish that Bonnie had been a resource for the prevous births. I cannot speak highly enough of her!

I am a homebirth midwife located in East Los Angeles. My goal for my clients is for them to feel educated in the world of birth, empowered in their experience, and safe with me as their provider. I spent most of my young life in Guangzhou, China where my family cared for orphaned newborns. After high school I found a maternity clinic in the Philippines offering midwifery training and began my journey there. After completing an accelerated program, I moved to California and became licensed with the Medical Board of CA. I worked in birth centers to gain further experience, then stepped fully into my own homebirth practice where my passion lies. I love homebirth. It offers endless opportunity to find personalized ways to care for and build trust with my clients. Homebirth and all the care leading up to it is holistic, it's intimate, and it's completely unique to each person's story.

Bekah is an extraordinary midwife and human being. From the moment I found out I was pregnant, through every stage of pregnancy, labor, and postpartum, she provided unwavering support, guidance, and compassion. Bekah fully trusts the process of birth, deeply respects each family’s wishes, and offers her wisdom and experience in the most gentle, patient, and compassionate way. Her warmth, knowledge and care make the entire journey feel relaxed. It was a fun! I had a profoundly powerful birth experience, and I always felt completely supported by her presence. Bekah holds space beautifully, offering reassurance and guidance without ever taking away the autonomy or voice of the woman laboring. She is very experienced and confident. She is family. I could not have done this without her, and she will absolutely be my midwife for any future children. I cannot recommend her enough.

Starr is so much more than a birth doula! She is like family. We met before I had my baby and mentioned I wanted to get my hair braided before I went into labor and she said she's a licensed cosmetologist too, so I asked her to braid my hair at our next appointment and she did not disappoint! Then at the birth she was so knowledgeable and understanding. Me and my family definitely felt safe and secure with her by our side.

Hallelujah!! That’s what I shouted when I was finally able to find Beth! She has been with me through two home births and now takes care of my entire family as our Primary. Her prenatal and Homebirth care were amazing, I always felt listened to. Each visit there was respect and connection! I had a lot of opinions on what I wanted and didn’t want and she talked with me about each of them and never tried to force me to change my mind about anything. Even Vaccines!!! Leading up to my homebirths I was intimidated and spoke to her about that, she was able to point me in the right direction for resources and made great recommendations for my specific fears. When it finally came time to have my babies she was exactly the presence I needed. Hands off but there. My husband and I felt absolutely taken care of and safe. She trusted my body and helped me to trust it to. My sons labor was textbook but my daughters labor was all over the place, 1min contractions followed by 15min breaks or 30sec contractions followed by 1min break. Just all over the place. (I know I would have been given pitocin if I was in a hospital.) I was worried but she reassured me that everything was fine and sure enough my daughter came out in the exact same amount of time it took for my son! I had a 15min rest period between contractions right before the last one that got her out. They were both 6hour labors with drastically different contraction cycles and both ended with beautiful births and healthy babies! I adore her middle of the road approach to health care. She gives amazing advice on things to do for sicknesses and different issues without running to medication. Which is very important for us. Even with ADHD issues she’s given me different things to try that I had never thought of. You kind of only think medication but there’s a whole lot we could do if that’s the route you choose. Having a primary that intimately knows my kids and myself is something I thought wasn’t possible at this day and age. We are so blessed to have found her and I feel completely confident that my kids health is the most important not some agenda! We are blessed to have a Primary we COMPLETELY trust that we can run to!

My philosophy as a midwife is rooted in both extensive personal experience and dedicated education. As a mother of five boys, including two natural births, one of which was born at home, I've lived through the very experiences I now guide others through. This invaluable perspective, combined with my Associate's in Midwifery from the MEAC Accredited Southwest Wisconsin Technical College and a Bachelor's from Texas Tech, has equipped me to serve as a midwife since 2022. I believe in fostering a supportive environment where birthing individuals feel heard, respected, and empowered to make informed choices throughout their pregnancy and birth journey.

My pregnancy/birth plus postpartum journey and experience with Brittney has been exceptional. I’m so glad I got connected to her. Brittney is caring, a great listener, flexible, understanding, and overall provided my family and I an excellent service as my midwife. We connected off the rip and I’ve enjoyed our time together; she has truly become someone I feel comfortable turning to if I need anything or have concerns even after our visits have come to a close. After having my baby boy, she was there for me regarding all the questions and concerns I had with her very timely responses. We had great conversations, she provided great suggestions/advice, flexible when appointments had to change, helped me feel in control of my experience and so much more. If you are looking for a midwife to guide you through your pregnancy journey to meet your baby, Brittney Clay is definitely the RIGHT ONE for you! I absolutely love her😭💕

Hello! Thank you for being here! My name is Kristin, I’ve been on a mission to encourage women to take back birth and own their unique stories through yoga, breath, reiki, Ayurveda healing and traditional remedies. *Please note I only companion women in births at home outside the system*

Recent review

Dearest Kristin, I am writing you to thank you for the gift you have given my family, myself specifically. It was a no brainer investing in a doula for this second pregnancy, and everyone was right - we had no regrets picking you! A clear comfortable contract didn’t prepare me for the support you provided. Though we hired you for post-partum care, you were a support during my very hard pregnancy. You provided me validation, connection, spiritual healing, not to mention the massages my body so desperately needed! Deciding whether to be induced was a huge mountain for us. I was high risk and my body had enough. You helped me understand my decision with love and compassion. You were so flexible with scheduling to respond to my extended hospital stay. You supported me through the phone and I felt safe leaving the hospital to come home to your care. A day with you nourished our family physically and spiritually. We were so shattered from the trauma of the birth and extended stay in the hospital. You supported our sleep, eating, and encouraged ways for us to connect while we were transitioning to a bigger family. Cooking for us, cleaning for us, yoga with my toddler while my husband and I could regroup. Having you for a few overnights helped so much with my healing and recovery. I am so grateful for investing in my recovery and choosing you. Anna
