Middle Way Midwifery

BRB crying 😭 What a share from such a beautiful, strong, woman! 😍

“Jaime is an excellent midwife. I’m so happy I was blessed to be under her care. She truly cares about her clients and really listens, she offers advice that comes from a place of love, and she’s skilled at what she does. Truly a wise woman with a beautiful energy about her!
Home birth is definitely an amazing and empowering experience. It wasn’t my first choice tbh, I never really considered it at first. BUT I’m SO glad I did. And if I were to ever get pregnant again, I would choose home birth all over again- with Jaime at my side!
My first birthing experience was in the hospital... And it was not a great one. A bit traumatic actually. So come my second pregnancy I knew I didn’t want to give birth in the hospital ever again, and I found a birth center. That experience was really good and I was happy with it. Fast forward to my recent pregnancy with my 3rd child, and the birthing center I had previously used was closed down, to my dismay! So I was preparing to have to give birth in the hospital again. I thought a home birth was too far out of reach because of the out of pocket cost. But nearing the end of my pregnancy, I knew I did not want to go through the hospital again and it was causing me a great deal of anxiety. I got in touch with Jaime in my 3rd trimester, and she was so helpful. She graciously took me on, and worked with what I could do financially, offering payment options and being super patient and understanding as I paid her off through the last couple months of my pregnancy. The birth experience itself was truly a beautiful experience. It was messy, bloody and obviously painful but the sheer joy and relief that came after my sweet boy arrived could not compare to any high in the world! And Jaime was there for me, guiding me the whole way as I pushed for at least an hour to get my baby out! His head was sideways and the pushing was long and painful but he finally came. I could not have gone through it without Jaime’s support. Thank you Jaime! Much much love for you and what you do. ~Stacey xoxo”

Today a client walked into the new space and said - this space feels like it’s our way as women to finally say WE TAKE UP SPACE. WE ARE HERE!

Ah yes, my mantra of the last few years that has guided me:
“Midwifery is no longer done in the shadows”

But the greatness of these inner wisdoms are that they also teach me the quiet whisper of “Mhmm. Yes Jaime. AND”

In the normal humor of this work, this mantra was also met with the profound Knowing that so much of what I’ve been witnessing lately is also the secret of the Sacred. It’s ours and no one else’s. We don’t need to use our birth stories to prove something. We don’t need to explain our choices. Despite the common misconception, I’m actually not here to sell you on something.

In the same breath I scream from the rooftops that we are HERE, I then breathe relief that we collectively experienced something truly Divine, and it’s no. ones. business.

The juxtaposition of Midwifery. How wise she is.

I reminded my student immediately that these are the same conversations and wisdoms and revelations that used to get Midwives killed. Burned. Drowned. Chastised away from their community.

Those 3am whispers of “How is she doing?”. Those 10pm reminders of “Yes. You are doing it. Stay with me.” The taste of that tincture. The floors that hold the tears of new parents who just watched God enter their bedroom.

I am a mere Observer.
In the chaos of the world, there is, and will always be, Birth.

What is she showing you? 🖤

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!
