About Us
Team of Home Birth Midwives in Phoenix
-
We believe in you and your body. We listen intently to you- your body knows what to do. We believe in being client centered vs. provider centered.
We believe in asking, not telling. We are for you taking hold of your power and following your heart and intuition.
We believe your power is yours and should not be relinquished to anyone else. You deserve respect and the right to make your own decisions during pregnancy and birth. We do not support fear induced misinformation. Birth does not have to be scary.
We believe birth is sacred. It's a becoming.

Starting January 2027, every Aurora client is supported by a dedicated team of two or three midwives from their first prenatal visit through postpartum care.
We made this change on purpose. As Aurora has grown, we wanted to make sure that growth never came at the cost of the intimacy that makes home birth what it is. A smaller, consistent team means you are known deeply, your story, your preferences, your concerns, by the same midwives who will be with you at your birth.
Your team meets regularly, stays closely informed on your care, and brings the full depth of Aurora's training and values to you. You get the benefit of multiple skilled minds and the comfort of familiar faces. Midwives who are well supported and working with a sustainable caseload give better care.
At your birth, one midwife from your care team will attend alongside a student midwife or birth assistant. Aurora is a teaching practice and we are proud of that. The student midwives in our program are trained, supervised, and an integral part of the care you receive. Your team is also backed by the rest of the Aurora midwives, so that if two families need us at the same moment, you are never without experienced hands.
OUR TEAM
Starting in January of 2027, we are moving to a dedicated care team model. Instead of working with our full team of midwives, you will have your own small team of two to three midwives for the entirety of you care to support you.

We absolutely love Aurora Midwifery! With their help, we've now had two healthy baby girls at home and we feel beyond blessed! This team of midwives are always quick to respond to every question; they spend ample time assessing yours and baby's health during pregnancy and they provide endless referrals to every possible provider that you and baby may need during and after birth. We love their readiness to care for you at every hour of the day. We love that they come back to your home several times after baby is born so that you don't have to leave your home. They're concerned not only about birth and delivery but also about your postpartum recovery. We love each and every midwife on the team and their own unique gifting that we so richly benefit from.
Thank you Alyssa for following God's leading and starting such a beautiful team of women who nurture and care so well families bringing new life into the world!

Aurora midwifery is absolutely amazing! They all go above and beyond for those in their care. After a traumatic hospital birth Aurora helped me have such a healing home birth. I can’t thank Lisette and Kathy enough for the support they offered me during our time together while birthing my second rainbow baby.
Everyone we spent time with at Aurora really restored my faith in the fact that there are caring providers out there.
Big thanks to Alyssa’s tinctures postpartum as well, they have really helped a ton. Herbal medicine is top notch. Highly recommend all the ladies at Aurora. This is your sign, do the home birth! 🙌🏻
