Welcome to Aurora Midwifery

We support families who want to birth on their own terms in the comfort of their home. With a dedicated care team of two to three midwives for your prenatal care, birth and postpartum, you are seen and known.

We are just right for families looking for:

Midwives who fully respect your decisions about your body, your baby, your birth

More than one midwife's skills, heart, time and instincts in your care. You’ll work with a dedicated team of two to three midwives who build strong relationships with you.

Hour long prenatal and postpartum visits with real time for questions, conversation and preparation

The experience of a team that has seen the full range of what birth can bring, trained in breech birth and experienced in VBAC support

Supported midwives caring for you who aren't stretched too thin or exhausted

Integrated on site support of a naturopathic doctor, CNM, lactation consultant, and more

I started Aurora in 2017 as a solo midwife with a vision of providing deeply respectful and loving care to families choosing home birth. I loved and worked hard for my clients, and I was also stretched in ways that weren't sustainable, for me or for them. When I was tired, hard things in my own life were happening, or I was juggling too many roles at once, it couldn’t help but affect my capacity.

Knowing I couldn’t continue forward alone, I began to build a team model rooted in the foundational values that matter most to me: respect, safety, honest communication, and healthy boundaries. I have been grateful to find midwives with shared values and vision who fully pour their hearts into caring for our clients. With two to three midwives who know you well, you get more attention and more skills, not less. As a team we can provide a depth of care for clients in a way that I never could on my own.

Midwifery is work that is demanding physically, emotionally, and mentally. I care deeply about midwifery being sustainable work. We are each called to this work, but if we aren’t well supported in it, we burn out quickly. I’m grateful to be able to create jobs that support and sustain us and our own families while prioritizing outstanding care for our clients.

Testimonial

“So thankful for these midwives and everyone who works with them! This was our first baby and our home birth could not have been better! They are so kind and caring, I felt supported and loved the whole time! I cannot recommend this group of women enough. You go for services and birth but you will end up with a community. They offer so many services too it has been so convenient: lactation consultation, physical therapy, naturopath, CFT, massage, and more! I seriously cannot say enough good things and no words will ever describe how meaningful and special they made the whole experience. We love you!”

Testimonial

"I felt nervous about using a team of midwives. I was unsure if I could let down and feel safe with everyone. I was shocked that by the end I felt totally loved and cared for by everyone and was completely open to whoever would be at my birth. Thank you to everyone who was a part of our journey.
