Northwest Community Midwives of Portland, Oregon view pregnancy and birth as a sacred passage - a fundamentally healthy process - not an institutional medical event.  As midwives, we strive to nurture a woman's sense of personal strength and self-confidence, so that she may realize birth as an empowering experience.  We believe that when birth is integrated into life as a family event, the family is strengthened as well.-

We practice the Midwives Model of Care, providing individualized maternity services to women and families planning a home birth or home waterbirth.  Our midwives are mothers, have experienced giving birth at home and believe strongly in its transformational potential.

With expertise in normal childbirth, NW Community Midwives help women claim trust in their body's ability to safely and dependably give birth while promoting wellness and positive attitudes about birth and parenting.

Our midwives are committed to providing you with Informed Choice – complete details about the various options available for you and your baby - to help YOU make decisions that best suit your family situation.  This website is intended to help you learn more about us by including our philosophy, and services
