Intuitive Roots Midwifery

10/12/2025

✨ I’m Back and Welcoming 2026 Families ✨
After a pause to birth and nurture my own baby, I return to midwifery with a deeper reverence for the body’s wisdom. In the quiet of my own postpartum season, I have leaned into the slow unfolding of life.

Both of my pregnancies and births were wildly different, with each one teaching me something new about myself and reshaping how I practice midwifery.

I have been soaking up every moment of my leave but I’ve missed this work and can’t wait to be back midwifing again!

While the beginning of the year has filled up quickly, I still have availability to support one more family in March. The remainder of the year has openings.

Here’s a look at my 2026 availability:
🌿 January — Full

Did you know that home birth midwives offer blood draws and other labwork? We offer the same testing you would receive with hospital based care, all done in the comfort of your home!

Routine labs offered in pregnancy include:
▫️Initial screening
▫️Complete blood count & Anemia panel
▫️Blood typing & antibody screen
▫️Infectious disease and immunity screening
▫️Genetic testing - NIPT
▫️Urine analysis and culture
▫️Gestational diabetes screening (Fresh test and glucometer options available!)
▫️Additional anemia screening
▫️Group Beta Strep screening
▫️and more!

Other non-routine labs may be considered as part of your individualized care plan! Not all lab work is required; you are in control of your care. We’ll have open conversations about which tests and procedures are truly necessary for your specific situation. By understanding your options, you can make truly informed decisions that align with your personal health goals and values!

Not pregnant but need/want labs? We do that too :)
Wellness & lab visits can include basic routine labs, preconception, hormone panels, STI and vaginal infections, full thyroid panels and more!

Hi everyone!
I’m Larissa, a community midwife, and I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve recently opened my own midwifery practice here in southern Massachusetts!

With nearly a decade of experience attending births, I am deeply committed to providing individualized care to families during one of the most transformative times of their lives.

While prenatal care and home birth are a large part of my practice, I am also offering well-body and fertility care. These services include holistic gynecology, annual physicals, blood work, STI testing, and more!

I am so excited to connect with you all! Let me know what you would like to learn more about! Feel free to reach out, ask questions, or simply say hello!

Hi everyone!
We are now accepting home birth clients due January 2025 and later!
Other offerings include well-body care, holistic gynecology, fertility support, and more.

At this moment, I am providing all care within your home. The goal is to open an office somewhere in the south coast within the next year or so.

I am stepping away from doula work, but will open a few spots each year for repeat clients and special circumstances so please reach out!

I am stoked to offer community care to where I’ve called home the majority of my life!

Please share with your friends 🙂

My capacity for doula support is slowing down significantly as I transition more of my energy to midwifery. What a bittersweet feeling it is knowing this is my last year practicing as a doula.

I have created space for doula care in February, June, July and August. At this time, I am unsure if I’ll offer support in the fall/winter but I promise to keep you all updated!

Any and all placenta medicine & art, birth classes, and virtual support offerings are still available and will likely remain indefinitely!

Yoga classes are on pause. I would loooove teach again once I’m established as a midwife. has so much to offer to the birth world, check her out for classes and other perinatal offerings!

After this past year hiatus in the ‘gram I have soooo many things I want to share. I almost don’t know where to start!!
Maybe Maggie’s birth story?! Midwifery things?! My first year postpartum? Ooof!

What began as an attempt to capture the beauty of a placenta that had been sent to pathology has blossomed into a new offering.
I have found so much joy creating art again and I am thrilled to share this with you! What an honor it is to be able to take something that is typically discarded and transform into a keepsake to be cherished indefinitely.

I’ve added this service to my website for those that are interested in preserving their placenta.

Somehow in the beautiful mess that is postpartum and diving back into an apprenticeship I don’t think I ever officially announced that my family and I relocated last November. We’ve settled back into the south coast of MA, where I’m still very active in the birth world. I plan on being a bit more active on here in the new year as I transition from my role as a doula and student to midwife. 👀✨
