most insurance plans and Medicaid, as well. Call us to learn more!
Our beautiful, warm, feminine decor welcomes families of all ages and for
all reasons. We are now seeing clients prenatally, postpartum, and for well
woman care at the new location as well as in New Ipswich and a new office in
Peterborough. Childbirth classes, seminars, and new groups holding workshops
and meetings are on the Happenings page. Please come to one of our many

transformative, and truly empowering experience. Let us answer your questions

caretaker for your unborn baby.
The new facility boasts 2 full service birthing
suites complete with private bathrooms and a birth pool in each room. We
will also have laundry facilities, a kitchen, lounge, and a family room.
Our home birth care is also offered. We will have regular prenatal and
postpartum visits in the office for families desiring home birth, with the midwives
traveling to the home at 36 weeks, for the labor and birth, and immediately postpartum
for the first few days. Our portable five foot diameter birthing pool can
be rented for the birth if desired.
We support a woman's choices for her individualized care. There are no routine interventions in pregnancy and birth. We openly support water births, as well as VBAC/ vaginal birth after cesarean. Also offered are childbirth classes including Hypnobirthing classes, prenatal yoga, and prenatal and postpartum massage.
