Homebirth

We are excited to offer homebirth to the Baltimore community! Bayla has been a midwife since 2008. She attended births for eight years in a hospital based setting and has been attending homebirths since then! Homebirth safety is very important to us; everything we do is focused on providing evidence-based, individualized care that addresses a family's specific needs. All studies have shown that continuity of care and a relationship with a known midwife is the single most important factor in birth safety- which we are privileged to be able to provide each of our clients whether they birth at home or if they need to receive higher levels of care from physicians. We strive to provide compassionate, holistic, and culturally-sensitive midwifery care guided by the Midwives Model of Care™ to every family who seeks it, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, ability, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

Thank you for being so much more than healthcare providers. You gave us knowledge, encouragement, reassurance, validation, respect and warmth along every step of the preparation and birth. I cannot imagine a better experience and will miss seeing you all regularly! - Jillian
