Midwifery Rooted in Relationship

Every pregnancy has its own story.

Every woman enters pregnancy with her own hopes, questions, experiences, and values. Every baby develops within a unique environment. No two families are exactly alike, and I believe their care should reflect that.

My approach to midwifery is grounded in relationship, individualized care, and shared decision-making. I believe recommendations should be shaped not only by evidence and clinical judgment, but also by the woman at the center of the pregnancy.

If you're looking for care that takes time to understand what matters to you, and values partnership alongside clinical skill, I hope you'll feel at home here.


Hi, I'm Rachel.

I'm a Certified Professional Midwife serving families throughout the Greater Kansas City area from my home base in Shawnee, Kansas.

My path into midwifery grew out of motherhood, years of asking questions about women's bodies, hands-on bodywork, and apprenticeship alongside experienced midwives. All of those pieces still shape the way I practice today.
