Is home birth right for you?
Honest guidance, from the start
Home birth is an option for healthy, low-risk pregnancies. Kim will talk openly with you about your health history and help you decide whether birthing at home is the right choice for your family.
Kim attends home births within 30 minutes of a hospital, and does not attend twin or breech births at home. These guidelines mean that if you ever need more help, it's close by.
If plans change
With you the whole time
Before labor begins, you'll make a hospital transfer plan together. If you need to go, Kim goes with you, supports you and stays until your baby is born.
Her years working in hospitals mean she knows how the system works and can help you navigate it calmly.
“Kim is wonderful!! The best midwife ever! I had the best experience with her and a wonderful birth that I had always dreamt of having!”
