The midwifery model of care is invaluable, but sustaining a practice long-term requires strategic thinking beyond the birth room. To turn your passion into a successful, enduring business, focus on these five core pillars:

1. 💰 Financial Health & Fair Pricing
You can't pour from an empty cup! Ensure your services are priced to reflect the comprehensive, on-call nature of midwifery care.

Know Your Costs: Track all overhead (insurance, supplies, rent, staff).

Master Billing: Whether cash-pay or insurance-based, streamline your claims, codes, and collection processes. Consider outsourcing this complex task!

Invest Strategically: Budget for the right professional equipment and an efficient EHR system.

2. 🤝 Collaborative Networking
Midwives thrive in community. Your network is your safety net and your referral engine.

Build Bridges: Establish strong, respectful relationships with local OBs, pediatricians, hospitals, and specialists for seamless consultation and transfer of care when needed.

Partner Locally: Collaborate with doulas, lactation consultants, pelvic floor therapists, and prenatal yoga instructors. Reciprocal referrals benefit everyone!

3. 🖥️ Systems & Efficiency (The Admin Block)
The goal is to spend more time with families and less time on paperwork.

EHR System: Invest in a user-friendly Electronic Health Record (EHR) system tailored for midwifery to ensure secure, compliant, and efficient charting.

Automate: Utilize tools for online scheduling, automated appointment reminders, and digital client intake forms.

Delegate: Know when to hire—whether it’s an administrative assistant, a biller, or a virtual assistant—to protect your clinical capacity.

4. 📢 Authentic Marketing & Branding
Your reputation is your greatest marketing tool.

Define Your Value: Clearly articulate your unique philosophy and what sets your practice apart.

Online Presence: Maintain a professional website and use social media to share educational content, approved testimonials, and behind-the-scenes glimpses that build trust.

Word-of-Mouth: Encourage satisfied clients to leave reviews; this is the most powerful growth driver!

5. 🧘 Self-Care & Burnout Prevention
Your sustainability depends on your well-being. A successful practice is a balanced one.

Set Boundaries: Establish clear protocols for on-call scheduling, clinic hours, and emergency backup to protect your rest time.

Team Support: Cultivate a practice culture of open communication, peer support, and recognition to prevent burnout among your staff.

Running a successful midwifery practice means prioritizing both the family and the financials. What is the single most valuable business tip you’ve learned since starting your practice? Share it below! 👇

🌿 Midwife Hierarchy of Needs 🌿

Finding a midwife whose skills, values, and judgment align with your practice is non-negotiable. The best interviews go beyond basic qualifications—they reveal the heart and mind behind the resume.

Here are the three critical categories of questions you must include when interviewing midwifery candidates:

🩺 1. Clinical & Situational Expertise
These questions test their knowledge, decisiveness, and calm under pressure.

Example 1 (High-Risk): "Describe a time a seemingly normal birth quickly turned high-risk. What steps did you take, and what was the outcome?"

Example 2 (Protocols): "What is your protocol for managing a suspected shoulder dystocia or a postpartum hemorrhage outside of the hospital setting?"

Why it Matters: You need to confirm their ability to confidently identify and manage emergencies, ensuring patient safety is paramount.

🧩 2. Behavioral & Team Fit
These questions use the past to predict future performance and assess their soft skills and collaborative spirit. (Use the STAR method for best answers: Situation, Task, Action, Result).

Example 1 (Conflict): "Tell us about a time you had a significant disagreement with a physician or colleague regarding a patient's care plan. How did you advocate for your position while maintaining a professional relationship?"

Example 2 (Empathy): "Describe a challenging situation you had with an anxious or uncooperative patient/family member. How did you build trust and ensure their voice was heard?"

Why it Matters: Midwifery is collaborative. They must be able to communicate effectively, manage stress, and thrive within a team environment.

💡 3. Philosophy & Cultural Alignment
These questions reveal their "why" and ensure their values match your practice's mission (e.g., informed consent, culture of care).

Example 1 (Core Belief): "What is your personal philosophy on pregnancy and childbirth, and how does it influence your approach to a first-time patient?"

Example 2 (Informed Consent): "How do you approach educating a patient about a common intervention (like induction or continuous monitoring) to ensure they feel they are making a truly informed, shared decision?"

Why it Matters: A strong cultural fit ensures a cohesive team and consistent, patient-centered care that families trust.

Most midwives don’t make enough to sustain long-term practice.

📊 Over 60% of midwife-led practices are undercharging by at least 20%.

You’re not failing—the model is flawed. Most midwives were trained to serve, not to price, bill, or scale.

💡 That’s where our team comes in.

We help you figure out what to charge, how to track cash flow, and build a practice that pays you.
