Where to find Natural Beginnings Midwifery Care
What this center offers
“I have also had the honor of being a doula at several births with her as midwife and have seen her handle every situation with grace, gentleness, and compassion for her patients.”
“I never thought I would be the sort of woman who had a natural childbirth, much less a home birth!”
“We were able to do a home birth and at first I was reluctant to proceed with the idea but they eased any concerns I had and answered all questions I had.”
“Even though I was nervous about having my first home birth, my prenatal visits with them made me feel more confident and relaxed.”
“All three ladies attended my home birth, braving snowy streets the morning after Christmas, and the postpartum care was top notch, as well!”
“I had a water birth in my room with my family surrounding me and I wouldn’t have had it any other way.”

What parents say
I didn’t think it was going to be possible, but I gave birth to my son at home in peace. After 2 rough (to say the least) hospital births, I was dreading having my third baby the same way. At 20 weeks pregnant I decided to make the switch to Natural Beginnings Midwifery.
I HIGHLY recommend Natural Beginnings. Marie and Michelle were my midwifery team for both my second and third kiddo. Marie and Michelle provided wonderful prenatal support. They listened, were emotionally supportive, and provided evidence-based research.
Marie and her team are everything one could hope for in birth support! Marie's experience as a naturopath was so beneficial in helping me overcome issues with anemia and the fatigue of various stages of pregnancy with two young boys to chase after as well.
Marie & Michele were my midwives for my first baby born last spring. I had a relatively “boring” pregnancy until the end of my 3rd trimester. Out of nowhere I started having elevated blood pressure which was bordering preeclampsia. Somehow, with the guidance of Marie and Michele- this was reversed! Is this common?
