Hi, I’m Susan!

Kindred Hearts Community Midwifery provides comprehensive prenatal, birth, and postpartum care all in the privacy of your own home. We want your experience before, during, and after the birth to be one of ease, joy, safety, and connection. Our dream is for everyone to know birth as a sacred and empowering experience for the whole family.

We are brought together by our dorky sense of humor and our deep, abiding trust in birth. We know that birth is a family event. Birth is a normal part of a woman’s life experience...not an emergency. And we believe strongly that every woman & baby deserves to be treated with respect, love, and dignity throughout their pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

It is our honor and joy to serve families during one of their most intimate times.  

We bring encouragement, love, and 28 years of experience to each and every birth.
