The sheer, raw strength that floods a woman during labor is a force unlike anything else. With every birth I attend, I’m reminded that my role is not to give power, but to simply hold space and provide gentle support as this incredible, innate energy invades and transforms. It is truly an honor to witness.

Every year around this time you start seeing midwives post their end of year stats, one of them being the transfer rate. I don’t share mine, and there’s a reason for that.

Birth doesn’t fit into tidy numbers. Every woman, every baby, every story is different. Some years have more smooth home births. Some years have more transfers. That doesn’t make one year better than another. It simply reflects the truth of birth.

My job is to protect you and your baby. Full stop. I don’t care how or where your birth ends as long as both of you are safe.

A midwife who pays attention, trusts her intuition, and transfers early when something feels off might show a “higher” transfer rate. Not because she lacks skill. Because she practices safely.

Too many women walk away from birth saying something felt off but they don’t have the words for it. Most of the time the problem isn’t her. It’s the culture of care.

As midwives we aren’t here to “manage” birth. We’re here to protect it. To make space for a woman’s voice. To slow things down so she can understand her choices instead of being pushed through a system that forgets she’s a person before she’s a patient.

If you’re craving a different kind of care you’re not alone.
Your instincts aren’t wrong.
Your voice matters.

Dr. Sara Wickham’s blog highlights a critical issue in modern maternity care, and the statistics are startling.

There is a lack of high-quality evidence, which is a global systemic issue that affects guidelines worldwide, including those from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). The fact that different major bodies often disagree on practices for the same clinical topic (like induction or breech presentation) confirms that the evidence is often too thin, leaving the final recommendation up to the subjective interpretation of a few “experts.”

“Expert Opinion” often translates into restrictive policies that ignore your individual needs, body, and context. YOUR lived experience and embodied knowledge is rarely factored into the guidelines, which risk turning birth into a standardized, technocratic procedure rather than a unique, supported physiological event.

Guidelines are for populations; your care must be for YOU!

That’s what Kharis means, and it’s the foundation of how I serve.

Kharis is the Greek word for grace. Grace has many definitions, my favorites being; unmerited favor, the exercise of love, kindness, mercy, favor; disposition to benefit or serve another

Grace doesn’t wait to be earned. It moves first.
It’s unmerited favor. The choice to meet others with kindness, mercy, and love before anything is asked or proven.

As a midwife, that’s what I’m called to do.
To show up first.
To listen first.
To extend patience, empathy, and trust to every family that steps into my care, long before I’ve heard their full story.

Midwifery isn’t just clinical.
It’s relational. It’s heart work.
And it starts with grace taking the first step.

What if your prenatal appointments didn’t feel rushed?
What if your care team actually knew you, not just your chart?

The more your birth environment supports your physiology, the more likely your labor will unfold on its own. ✨

If you’re craving a calm, supported, and undisturbed birth experience, maybe it’s time to think outside the hospital. 🕊️

Hospitals across the U.S. rely on continuous fetal monitoring, a tool research has shown increases C-section rates by more than 60%.

So why does it remain standard?
Because it’s easier to staff, easier to defend in court, and profitable for hospitals and tech companies.

Surgery isn’t safety. You and your baby deserve more. Choose care that puts you and your baby first.
