Connecticut Home Birth and Wellness CareMagnolia Midwifery is a nurse-midwifery practice serving throughout Connecticut. Comprehensive services include home birth and water birth with prenatal, postpartum, and newborn care to 28 days, well-person, and sexual and reproductive health care. My service area includes the Greater Hartford area including Hartford County, Litchfield County, New Haven, Middlesex, and New London Counties, and parts of Fairfield County.
My strong commitment to the Midwives Model of Care™, means that you are at the center of all I do. And that's how health care should be. Your story and the meaning you give to your experiences is central to the care I provide. While I serve as a resource and guide, you make informed health care choices that make sense to you in the context of your life and family. |
The physical, emotional, and spiritual changes during the childbearing year are profound for many. Through every interaction my goal is to foster positive integration of these changes into your self and family identity. I work with you, side by side, to have a safe and satisfying birth.
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.

WellnessOngoing wellness, sexual, and reproductive health focuses on family planning, pregnancy prevention, preconception counseling. natural and hormonal contraception, breast and pelvic health, primary care preventive screenings, mental health, and positive sexuality.
Along with attention to your physical needs, you receive a listening ear, a thoughtful approach, and heartful action! Treatments include a blend of complimentary and alternative recommendations, referrals and collaboration, and prescription medications when indicated and desired. |
Childbirth EducationMy background as a Birthing From Within Childbirth Mentor is reflected in my philosophy and approach to supporting families during the childbearing year. Prental and postpartum visits may include specific Birthing From Within mini-modules.
Many families value taking a childbirth class series while finding their way through the childbearing year. Non-birthing parents who plan to take an active role during labor and birth especially benefit from focused time learning about comfort measures, labor etiquette, witnessing labor, and birth as a family event. |
