Home birth Midwife and wellness guide serving the Seacoast and outer community. Passionate about respectful individualized care.

I believe birth is a journey, not a medical event to be managed. My role as your midwife is to walk beside you: to listen, to guide, and to protect your right to make informed choices about your body, your baby, and your birth. I began my career in 2006 as a NICU nurse, caring for the tiniest and most fragile newborns. In 2009 I became a midwife, first serving families at a community medical center and a community hospital. That background shaped how I practice today. I deeply trust the normal process of birth, and I am clinically ready when birth needs more support. I have attended births at home and in the hospital, and I know how to bridge the two calmly and safely. Almost ten years into my career as a midwife, I became a mama myself, and my two boys taught me more than any textbook. With my first son, I planned a homebirth. When labor needed more support, I transferred to the hospital and gave birth by cesarean. I know firsthand the disappointment, the grief, and the strength it takes when birth doesn't go as planned. With my second son, I had a successful VBAC at home. That birth brought healing and reminded me how powerful our bodies are. I have been on both sides of the bed. I understand what it means to hope for a certain kind of birth, to need a change of plans, and to come back and birth again with confidence. Whether you're planning your first homebirth, hoping for a VBAC, or healing from a past experience, I will meet you with honesty, safety, and deep respect for your journey. What I offer • Full-scope homebirth midwifery: prenatal, birth, and postpartum care • Hybrid prenatal care with in-office visits and home visits from 37 weeks (or home visits throughout) • VBAC support and counseling • In-office ECV (turning) for breech babies • The Hospital Birth Bridge Program: in-home labor assessment and support for families planning a hospital birth, so you arrive at the right time • Lactation visits with a Certified IBCLC: in-home or in-office help with latch, supply, pumping, and feeding challenges • GYN wellness care: annual exams, preconception care, birth control, and hormone health from your teens through menopause • Childbirth, breastfeeding, and newborn care classes • Postpartum recovery and whole-woman care through my sister practice, ReGlo Aesthetic & Wellness

Greetings! I am Edine, a certified and licensed midwife, lactation consultant, and Spinning Babies Aware Practitioner. My midwifery philosophy emphasizes respect for the natural process of birth and the dignity of the mother and child, viewing pregnancy and birth as normal life events. My goal is to play a vital role in providing care for families in need, particularly in underserved areas where access to holistic care is limited. I respect and welcome healthcare rooted in traditional practices, beliefs, and values passed down through generations.

Hello! My name is Morgan Gaines and I am a licensed midwife serving they seacoast community of Maine and New Hampshire. I feel like my choice to become a home birth midwife is focused on my philosophy of thorough and comprehensive care. I believe educated autonomy is a human right and strive to be a guardian of pregnancy, birth and postpartum as well as an advocate for women’s choice, health and wellness. Personally, I enjoy sunshine a good glass of wine, family time and nourishing our small family farm.

Hello-my name is Lesley Franco. I am a licensed Certified Professional Midwife located in Asbury Park, NJ and serve families in the 1 hour vicinity. I offer respectful, individualized care for folks wishing to birth in the comfort of their own home, as well as The Birth Center of NJ. I offer a "Hello Visit" - a free, 1 hour consultation in my office - to get all of your questions answered and allow us to see if we're a "good fit".

I have been attending births since 1996, first as a doula and childbirth educator and since 2008 as a licensed midwife in NJ and 2010 in NY. I have been in private practice and partnerships with wonderful midwives and have mentored many students through the process of becoming a midwife in the apprenticeship model. I believe birth is sacred, and that the sovereignty of the birthing person must be kept in mind throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period. Keeping reproductive justice at the forefront of the work midwives do is critical to reducing maternal and infant mortality in the United States. I believe that midwives have a responsibility to that work and are the answer to the maternal mortality crisis we are facing. I have had multiple leadership roles at both state and national levels and continues to volunteer helping to move midwifery forward in both NJ and NY with the goal of recreating systems so that birthing people can have access to the equitable and culturally congruent care they deserve. I am the mother to five amazing adult children and Grammy to four precious grandchildren. The birth of a child is an amazing mixture of physical happenings, emotional ups and downs and spiritual and personal growth. It brings with it the realization that we are powerful and powerless at the same time; that we can be in control while surrendering; and that nothing else at that moment, hour, day or even days matters, only the intensity of the work we have to do to bring this precious life from us, to us. It is a true blessing and an honor to be present, and I feel privileged to be a part of the journey.

I am a self made business. My dream is to help low income people become families

As a full-spectrum doula, I see birth as more than a physical event. It is a sacred and transformative rite of passage. My care is rooted in faith, mindfulness, education, and spiritual wisdom, creating space for clients to slow down, tune in, and trust the bodies God has given them. I support the whole person, mind, body, and spirit, through breathwork, affirmations, prayer, and grounded presence. Whether during pregnancy, labor, or postpartum, I help clients move through each phase with clarity, peace, and confidence, while honoring God’s presence throughout the journey.

Hi everyone! My names Theanna and I am a birth and postpartum doula as well a childbirth educator! I’ve known ever since I was little I was meant to work in the birth world and being a doula has opened my world up to so many amazing opportunities. After attending my first birth as a doula I knew that this is what I was meant to do. I’d love to schedule a consultation and talk about ways I can support you and your family through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

I am a birth doula trained by Warm Welcome Birth Services. I am a registered MassHealth provider, which means if you are a member, my services will be covered by state insurance. Informed by my experience seeing the homebirths of my two younger siblings (and being born at home with a midwife myself), I believe that everyone giving birth deserves to feel seen, heard, and respected, no matter where they give birth. In my work, I value autonomy and informed consent. I am committed to providing trauma-informed, inclusive, and justice-oriented care for all, including people of color, queer and trans folks, disabled people, and those belonging to all types of family structures. I'm also happy to talk about how to center faith/spirituality in birthing experiences!

Hello, I’m Amber, the heart behind Life’s Journey Doula Services, and I’m honored to support families through one of life’s most meaningful journeys—welcoming their baby into the world. I believe birth is more than just a moment in time; it is a powerful and deeply personal experience that deserves to be approached with compassion, respect, and support. My philosophy as a birth doula is centered around making sure you feel heard, informed, empowered, and never alone throughout your birth experience. Every family, every pregnancy, and every birth is different. I don’t believe there is one “right” way to give birth. Whether you are planning an unmedicated birth, considering pain relief, planning a cesarean birth, or simply want to remain open to where your journey takes you, my role is to support your choices without judgment. I provide continuous emotional, physical, and informational support, while creating a calm and reassuring presence during labor. I’m there to encourage you, help you find comfort measures that work for you, advocate for your wishes, and remind you of your strength when things feel overwhelming. Most importantly, I want you to feel confident in yourself and your ability to birth your baby. My goal is not to tell you how your birth should unfold, but to walk beside you through it—honoring your voice, your choices, and your unique journey. It would be an honor to be part of yours. ❤️

I provide support for expectant parents throughout their pregnancy and birth journey. I offer comprehensive prenatal, labor and delivery support, and postpartum assistance. I view my role as tour guide through pregnancy and birth, and I am here to support any decisions or preferences you have - this is your body and your baby. I want my birthers to feel feel empowered and confident throughout their birthing experience.

Whether navigating the complexities of childbirth or transitioning into the postpartum period, my support is tailored to meet unique needs and preferences. My compassionate guidance fosters a sense of empowerment and confidence, helping families navigate this transformative journey with resilience and grace.

I believe every mother deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout her postpartum journey. Welcoming a new baby is one of life’s most beautiful transitions, but it can also be one of the most physically and emotionally demanding. My goal is to provide families with compassionate, evidence-based support so they never have to navigate this season alone. My experience as a Postpartum Doula, Maternal Health Project Leader, and educator has given me the skills to nurture both mothers and newborns while creating a calm, reassuring environment where families can thrive. As I continue pursuing my Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Biological Science Education, I am deepening my understanding of human development and health so I can better educate and support parents with confidence and compassion. Supporting women and families isn’t just my profession—it’s my purpose. I am committed to helping parents feel confident, cared for, and empowered as they begin one of the most meaningful journeys of their lives.
