Labor Day is more than a day off—it reminds us of the power found in the act of labor: in the daily work that shapes families, builds communities, and creates life.

As a midwifery birth center, we see labor as both a physical and transformative journey. Today, we honor all the labor—birth, care, growth, and support—that form the foundations of humanity.
