What this center offers
“I did the typical OB/Hospital route until I started learning about waterbirths and thought I might enjoy that option.”
“Between the comfortable home-like environment and caring midwives, my partner and I felt so welcomed, and we looked forward to every appointment.”
“Both occurred at a local hospital known for its great L&D department, and the second was completely unmedicated and I was back home 24 hours later.”

What parents say
We decided to have our third baby at Embrace after two okay, but not great, hospitals experiences. I really wanted a natural birth with minimal interventions and this is exactly what Corina offers. I was given a choice in every intervention and experienced no judgment regarding any of my decisions.
We had the privilege of learning about Embrace when I was already 35 weeks pregnant! As a first-time mom I did not know what I wanted my birth experience to look like nor did I know anything about Midwifery care.
As a first-time mom with high expectations for pregnancy and birth care, my experience with Embrace was everything I could’ve dreamed of and more. I felt at home in the birth center from my very first appointment.
As doulas serving families all over the greater Richmond area, we’ve worked with clients delivering in lots of places and with many providers, but Embrace Birth Center and its midwifery team are easily our top recommendation for anyone considering an out-of-hospital birth.
