Infinite Birthing

Infinite Birthing offers a unique path to fully embrace your power during pregnancy and childbirth.

We view this as essential in creating a self-directed and fulfilling experience.

 

For example, we teach and offer techniques that are often held as 'practitioner only' knowledge.

Let's unpack this concept...

What really happens when a Cervical Exam is performed? Or when Fetal Heart Tones are taken?

More often than not, these details are unknown to us and we simply give our power over to the provider. This is the opposite of what health care should look like. Cervical Exams and FHT's are tools that ANYONE can learn to do! And at Infinite Birthing this is exactly what you will find- committed, competent providers who support in the unraveling and re-education necessary to reclaim one's autonomy.

What Infinite Birthing Provides

We offer holistic prenatal, birth and postpartum services that can be stand-alone or concurrent with other providers. Our framework is based on the Midwifery Model of Care, yet can be applied to someone choosing a free birth, a medical birth or a midwifery supported birth. The choice is yours, we will meet you there!

​

The following list is not exclusive, nor is it a rigid outline of your care, but examples of what a partnership between you and Infinite Birthing might look like. Your individual wants and needs are the cornerstone used to design a unique plan that can be fluid and evolve as needed.
