Welcome to Red Rock Midwifery! If you are looking for a licensed homebirth midwife in Sedona, Cottonwood (or anywhere in Northern Arizona), you may have come to the right place.
I consider my style of care to be “modern” in that I recognize and respect the traditional midwife and her practices. The art and soul of grandma midwife…But, I combine my trust in birth with a respect for the natural process. I am passionate about integrating this belief with the education and research that we have today.
“Modern midwifery care” is focused on the modern woman, by a modern woman. I recognize and respect that you want to educate yourself and make decisions for you and your baby. That you want to come into your power, or feel stronger in your power by experiencing an empowering birth.
Knowing that “empowerment” comes from listening to your own voice, your own truth; regardless of your choices. The “right” choice and the “right” birth, whatever that is, will happen naturally for you when you listen to your own voice. My role is to support and educate you in the process, all the while keeping a safe and loving eye on you and your baby.
I understand that you want to bring your baby into this world in a peaceful, loving setting, by way of a gentle birth. I know that you want a change from all the fear that surrounds us as a culture–that you want love, respect and support for you and your baby as you go against the grain. That the baby you created was in love, not fear, and that birth is very similar. I know that, despite your confidence and strength, you are not afraid to ask for help, and are looking for a caregiver not afraid to give it. That you are looking for someone to share and assist in your birth vision –another woman that has been through it many times, both personally and professionally. You understand that birth is to be respected; not feared or blindly trusted.
Normal birth does not have to be a medical event. I encourage you to explore the alternative!
My care for you and your baby is about YOU! I will visit you each and every time at your home, so that you are comfortable and welcome me in your space. I want to get to know you, your family and how you live, so that my presence at your birth is that of a knowledgable and trusted guide.
