Treasure Valley Midwives offers comprehensive maternity care for mothers during their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period.  We are a team of two Certified Professional Midwives and an intern midwife.  We are also licensed in the state of Oregon.

We believe that birth is a normal, healthy event and that it is one of the most significant times in a woman's and her family's life.  It should not be treated just as a medical procedure.  Our care is safe, personal, and respectful.

We believe you have the right to make choices about your maternity care.  Our goal is to provide information about tests, procedures, and treatments so that you may make good decisions.  We will also make recommendations based on your unique situation and health.  We encourage you to become well educated and to ask questions.

Safety is a major concern for many families considering out-of-hospital birth.  Our many years of experience and education and our team approach ensure the safest care possible.  Our neonatal resuscitation certification is kept current and we carry emergency supplies to each birth.  We have physicians available for consultation and/or referral.

Studies have shown that an out-of-hospital birth attended by experienced midwives is as safe as a hospital birth for low risk, healthy women.  In fact, the best statistics for birth outcome are from countries that use primarily midwives for maternity care for healthy women.  Let us know if you would like more information or a list of references.

In the event that complications occur during pregnancy, we may refer you to another care provider.  We work with supportive physicians and alternative healthcare providers.  If complications arise during labor or after the birth, a decision may be made to transport you to the hospital.  You will then be under the care of the hospital staff but we will remain with you and act as your advocate.

We treat all women with dignity and gentleness.  Birthing safely in a familiar environment with your loved ones is an experience of a lifetime.
