Today is the international day of the midwife. I can’t even put into words the incredible difference midwives make in women’s healthcare. From the deep listening and connection to the approach in their practice that women’s bodies work, I am in awe of the true care they provide.

In my own life, when OBs insisted on trying to push me into a cesarean birth that was not medically necessary, when every prenatal visit was ending in anger or tears, I found my way to Womanwise Midwifery. Ronni was still a solo practitioner at the time. In our appointments, she answered all of my questions, reassured me, and truly listened. She kept my baby and I safe and was by my side from the moment we pulled into the parking lot until hours after my baby‘s birth. Since then, I relied on (midwife) care for all of my well woman care.

And professionally, whenever I hear my clients are in the hands of our areas. Amazing midwives, I always know we’re going to have a completely different experience. Centered, empowered, supported. Thank you so much to all the midwives for all the care you give.
