Connecticut Home Birth and Wellness Care

Picture
to my midwifery practice! I am Christy D’Aquila, CPM, CNM. Since 2021, I've been providing midwifery care to families planning a homebirth throughout Connecticut in the Greater Hartford area including Hartford County, Litchfield County, upper Fairfield County, New Haven, and Middlesex Counties. My strong commitment to the Midwives Model of Care means that you are at the center of all that I do (and don't do)! And that's how birthing care should be. I value your story and the meaning you give to your experiences. While I serve as a resource and guide, you make informed choices that make sense to you in the context of your life and family.

I welcome the opportunity to witness your pregnancy and support your preparation for birth and parenting. Not all people experience birth as an initiation experience, but most of my clients do! That's what brings your here. You understand that birth is profound yet regular, challenging and worth the work, a soul-changing rite of passage intiating you for your new role as parent. You understand that the your pregnancy and birth experience, and body-soul integrity, 100% matters. You look forward to building a relationship with your midwife and take responsiblity for your health and decisions. And I look forward to walking the journey with you!

​Throughout our time together you receive practical and relational preparation for birth as a initiation experience and family event. What is relational? It means that birth and parenting are extensions yourself, your family, your understanding of the world, and your relationships with those around you! It is your way of being.
You will notice a focus on your experience of this special time. I invite you to walk through the childbearing year awake to physical, emotional, and spiritual transitions. You are supported to face challenges and embrace growth opportunities as you stay connected to your experience and to all those who walk this journey with you.

​Join other parents who make informed choices that resonate with their values, learn how to gather information, and ask questions, follow their intuition, and face challenges with mindful resilience. And join me in this work to protect the humanity and creativity of birth.

Home Birth

​The physical, emotional, and spiritual changes and challenges during the childbearing year are profound for many and offer opportunities for growth. I work with you, side by side, to have a safe, satisfying birth. I strive to foster positive integration of these transitions into your self and family identity.

Fortunately, Connecticut families planning homebirth have a variety of midwifery practices to choose from. While I hope you will feel at home with Magnolia Midwifery, it is important to choose a birth site and midwife that matches your values and beliefs. Learn more about the benefits of homebirth.
