Middle Way Midwifery

10/05/2025

Repeat clients are the medicine of midwifery. Prenatals are filled with more laughter than midwifery sometimes. The birth feels like a deep collective breath of “Ah we are all here together”. I sometimes call it the “Soulmates of Midwifery”. We were always meant to be in that space together.
The room is filled with the deepest Trust. Postpartum is filled with giggles and “Yes that happened last time too”.
To watch a family change and grow into their confidence and wisdom is something I never knew would be the exact things I need to just make my cup of life OVERFLOW! ✨
I say it endlessly but those who know, know that these are the moments you go, “Gosh. How did I, of all people, get the privilege to do this????”

So grateful is always one of my biggest promoters and selflessly shares her pictures and stories. ♥️

Grateful she also captured the Grace and gentleness of newborn exams. 🥰

And my goodness is that last picture not just the purest definition of motherhood?! 😂😍🫶🏻

Celebrating these 2 home birth babies and their momma! I actually didn’t even “catch” either of them! Mom caught her son and then dad caught his daughter.

6 week postpartum appointments are so bittersweet. Like is this really it?!
But in midwifery, it’s truly never goodbye! Auntie Midwife has to watch you continue to grow! 😍
What a glorious few years it has been serving this family! 🫶🏻🙌🏼😍

✨The sounds of home birth✨

My due dates for March 2026 are full! April and May babies are coming in as well so make sure to call early as usual :)
Common misconceptions why people wait to call me are because they think they have to start out with an OB to get their initial labs and ultrasounds. Or they wait until after their anatomy scan. Or wait until after their gestational diabetes test. No no! Midwives do all of these things and take care of you with all of the standard obstetric care and offerings PLUS more time, more love, more continuity. From the first pregnancy test.

Here if you have questions!

✨New Office✨
Did we all collectively agree we needed more room for group gatherings, kids to roam, more collaboration, a blank canvas to play in?? Or was that just something I’ve been sitting with quietly? 😂
Y’all! This new space holds so much possibility! I’m excited to get our hands dirty and make a true grassroots community space that I think Montrose and our little communities deserve.
I’ve wanted room for families to gather and meet and have kids run and play. Room for expansion and more practitioners. Something we can come together and say is Ours.

33 N. Uncompahgre in downtown Montrose! Right across from

We have 3 exam rooms - one for us, one with the healer and one with the gorgeous, self-love

I know I have a community of wildly creative people and we’d love your help! This place was not taken care of to its full potential. We are working to clean, paint, and bring the comfort into the space.
If anyone has the time or call, please reach out! We are needing to paint, clean windows, redo a few hardware related things, do some updates, and furnish! We are also looking for a baby changing table, furniture to create a waiting room, couches, chairs, toys to make a kids play section, tables, plants, rugs, etc - if you have something you’d like to donate, let me know! If you have the time to donate to help us spruce this 100 year old building up, please, I would feel forever grateful!

Thanks for riding the ride with me, friends! And allowing me to dream of something more! 🤍🌙

Hi! New name changes! San Juan Midwifery is now Middle Way Midwifery LLC ✨

After 6 years of practicing on the western slope, I looked around this year and said, “Woah, I am not the same midwife I was when I first came to Colorado” and thank goodness for that! I hope in another 6 years I feel the same way!
Middle Way has much meaning to me. As a young spiritual woman, I found comfort in finding what Buddhists describe as the Middle Path - the wisdom of neutrality in a world of extremes. On top of a foundation of: what is true when we move with pure Love? Beneath the noise, what arises?
As a midwife, I found myself representing the Middle Way as my practice grew. Hey now, you can have both - have your baby in your kitchen, and get that ultrasound, and have a trained licensed midwife at your birth who carries western medicine, herbs, and trusts in the unique oxytocin of home. Or whatever feels true for you! Get an epidural, but call upon the home birth midwives to walk the spiritual and emotional path of the death of the maiden and the birth of the mother. I have witnessed many variations of the Middle Way over the last 9 years and it’s my favorite part of my work. What is true for YOU, right here, right now? What if that decision was neutral? It doesn’t have to put you in a judgmental, labeled box. It’s simple truth. It’s your Middle Way.

Thank you for walking with me 💛

(I’m a one woman team, so please bear with me as I update name changes everywhere. We will also have a new location next month! More to come 🥰 the only reason I can take leaps of faith is because of my families 🙏🏼)
