Today we celebrate International Day of the Midwife.

Midwifery is considered one of the oldest professions in the world, with roots stretching back thousands of years; offering family-centered, holistic and traditional wisdom, blending modern medicine and evidence based care to deliver compassionate care through pregnancy, birth, and beyond. This work is sacred, powerful, and deeply needed.

This day highlights the efforts and sacrifices made by midwives to ensure the health and safety of mothers and babies, and the tireless efforts to protect birth options.

And today, more than ever, it’s also at a turning point.

Here in Ohio, there is growing legislative movement toward licensure for midwives—a critical step that would increase access to safe, regulated, out-of-hospital birth options for families across our state.

Just next door in Michigan, there is an active push for Medicaid to cover home birth services with licensed midwives, opening doors for families who have historically been excluded from these options.

Our sister state of PA is experiencing challenges with the recent passing of SB507 as it seeks to raise the standard of care by offering licensure to Certified Professional Midwives but without including pathways for Traditional, Non-nurse Midwives to continue to practice with autonomy - PA has now put them at risk, criminalizing a segment of the birthing industry that safely serves many, many families.

Access matters. Autonomy matters. Informed choice matters.

Supporting midwifery isn’t just about honoring a profession—it’s about improving outcomes, expanding access to care, and trusting families to make the best decisions for themselves.

If this matters to you, now is the time to stay informed, speak up, and support the work being done.

Because every family deserves options.
And every birth deserves respectful, individualized care.

“What most first-time moms don’t realize… is that it’s not birth you’re afraid of, it’s the unknown.”

Not knowing what’s normal…
Not knowing when to trust your body…Not knowing what your options actually are… Not knowing what’s next…

And honestly? This makes complete sense. That’s exactly why I created a comprehensive childbirth education program. It’s self-paced, you can start anytime, and you’ll have it for life.

I will walk you through what pregnancy, labor, postpartum feels like. You’ll learn more about lactation, infant feeding, and parenting styles.
You will learn how and when to apply different comfort measures, and how you and your support person can make confident decisions in the moment.

You will go from feeling unsure…
to calm, grounded, and confident. And it’s not because birth changes it’s because your preparation does. Because when you understand something, when you feel safe, it becomes a lot less scary, and a lot more manageable.

If you’ve been meaning to take a class, this is your sign.
