Blue Water Midwifery
"There is a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong."
- Laura Stavoe Harm
Welcome to Blue Water Midwifery! We provide homebirth midwifery services throughout the greater Port Huron, Michigan area. I also serve women all over metro Detroit, the Thumb area, and all along the I-69/I94 cooridor. Counties include Oakland, Macomb, St. Clair, Sanilac, Lapeer, and beyond.
Experience and research have shown me that, under normal circumstances, birth is a safe, normal, physiological event. It is also considered sacred and spiritual in nature. I have learned that women are strong human beings who are designed to experience birth and are fully capable of birthing naturally…and that babies are designed to emerge from the experience safely and unharmed. Good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle are essential components of safe birthing.
A well-trained and well-equipped home birth midwifery team offers healthy women and their families an opportunity to give birth in an environment of confidence, relaxation, trust and security. Beginnings are important: a gentle, natural birth is best for mother and baby; free from the side effects of unnecessary interventions and free from policies that unnecessarily separate newborns from their parents.
As a certified professional midwife, I am educated and trained to provide prenatal care, birth services and postpartum care for both mother and baby in an out-of-hospital setting. During your pregnancy I will work to provide you with a full understanding of the birth process and will answer any questions you may have to enable you to make fully-informed decisions about your care. More importantly, I will offer sensitivity, stamina, patience and reverence to your birth process. Every woman, baby and birth is different; I always try to honor that fact.
