This deeply spiritual work...

of transforming woman to mother in the smallest inklings of strength to the highest beings of Self.

From this smallest seed of conception to the vast galaxies of birth, parenthood, & life.

This is our work, and our commitment to the families we serve.

"I was finally able to have the birth experience that I'd dreamed of.

I felt so in control of the entire endeavor as they offered their expertise. VCM provided an experience that I was unable to have during my first birth with a different midwife group. From their knowledge of herbal remedies for prenatal maladies to their techniques to ease and expedite labor, Naomi and Serenity gave me the tools and confidence that I yearned for. I could not have wished for a better midwife team!"

"If you’re planning a home birth, this is your dream team.

Naomi, Serenity and Ronan are so knowledgeable, supportive, caring, loving and so down-to-earth. We couldn’t have asked for a better team for the birth of our third child. I felt so cared for before, during and after the birth. Naomi’s homemade herbal concoctions are just wonderful. Look no further, VCM is the absolute best midwives team ever!”

"You simply cannot find a better care team in the area.

Not only do they come with an arsenal of experience, but they are the most kind, considerate, loving, passionate, and dedicated birthing team I have ever had the pleasure of calling my providers and friends. They made me feel at ease and at home during my prenatal visits, and completely safe and in incredibly capable hands during my home birth and postpartum period."

"After Ethan was born, the midwives tucked us up in bed...

and whispered congratulations and goodbyes. Someone nudged a mug of broth into my hands. The next day they were back to check on the baby and me, our whole family really. I was so glad that I didn’t have to pack up the baby and all the stuff into a car to some cold office across town. I’m so glad I chose midwives."

"My experience with Naomi, Serenity and Mana was nothing short of amazing!

Throughout my pregnancy they were there to answer any questions and concerns I had. I always looked forward to all my appointments because they were so friendly, kind and caring. During labor they were amazing in making me feel calm and as relaxed as you can be while pushing a baby out! I always felt that I was in good hands when they were present. I will definitely be using their services again the next time around."

"I have never felt so safe and respected as a person, and truly guided by a care provider.

I noticed a theme of Informed Consent in all aspects of care. I never felt pressured to make any decisions. Any information that could have been presumed as scary would be presented in such a way that if the chances of a scary outcome were 1/200, they were sure to remind me that also means 199/200 were completely fine. As someone with pretty strong anxiety I always appreciated that shift in mindset."

"Never have I felt as cared for and truly listened to by a healthcare professional than with these midwives.

These midwives accept state insurance and work with people from all walks of life! They are incredibly generous and resourceful - providing herbal tinctures, salves, and supplies to make pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care more comfortable. They immediately felt like family and made the birth of my second baby a magical experience. I absolutely cannot say enough praises about these midwives. I will definitely be back with any future pregnancies."

"Naomi and Serenity are kind, caring, knowledgeable and just good women.

They were attentive and helpful in my care throughout pregnancy and they were exactly what I needed during my birth. They were supportive but also allowed us to have our own space in our home to welcome our first daughter. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to care for us during that time. They continued with their great care through the postpartum period, making thorough assessments to me and baby, setting us up for success in the first few months after birth."

"Naomi and Serenity created an environment of patience, candor, non-judgmental support where I always felt 100% in control of every decision I made.

I had wanted a home birth with my first child but ultimately chose the hospital route. Nearly five years later a home birth was an easy decision because of my immediate connection with Naomi. My husband was resistant about having a home birth but when he met my crew, he was on board. My second birth at 42 years old was an extraordinary experience, free of fear and anxiety."

Every prenatal appointment I was treated with so much care and respect.

I felt listened to every step of the way and never doubted my birthing team. As we got closer to my due date and I began to feel the typical anxieties, I knew I could always voice them to the midwives and they would be heard, validated, and discussed until I felt comfortable. By the time my due date rolled around, I was feeling calm and confident and ready to bring my second baby into the world."
