What this center offers
“I had a water birth, and during labor and delivery, both Rachel and Brittany attended.”
“I didn’t make the decision to transfer care from my OB to midwives until I was five months pregnant and once I found this team I didn’t look further - they are outstanding.”
“I wanted a natural birth but wasn't sure if I wanted to do a home birth.”
“She stepped in very late in my third trimester to help support a planned home birth and immediately made us feel informed, empowered, and confident.”
“Working closely with my doula, she created a series of labor positions that helped my sunny-side-up baby make his way earthside.”
“During our prenatal care sessions, I learned so much about what to expect during labor, how to prepare, and how to better understand the physiological aspects of giving birth.”

What parents say
The most important decision one can make during pregnancy is finding the right care team. For my wife and I, choosing Rock Creek Midwifery and working with Rachel was hands down the best decision we made during her pregnancy. Coming from very medicalized families, we always assumed we’d have a typical hospital birth.
Oh we have so many good things to say about the Rock Creek Midwifery team! The care and guidance we received throughout pregnancy, labor and delivery, and the postpartum period were phenomenal. Rachel and Brittany are both incredibly kind, warm, caring, knowledgeable, and proficient.
We chose to have a home birth for our first baby and we loved it. We had a wonderful experience with Rockcreek midwifery. The care provided felt luxurious (compared to hospital practices).
If I could give 10 stars I would. I chose Rock Creek Midwifery for the birth of my second baby after a bad experience with an OBGYN. From the moment I started working with Rachel I understood that it was a completely different kind of care. Every step of the way was personalized.
