Birth Alternatives Midwifery was founded by Linda Healey in 1987. We work with families to provide conscientous home birth care for low-risk mothers and babies throughout pregnancy, labor, birth and the postpartum period.
We make regular prenatal visits, with an emphasis on assessing your pregnancy, helping you to adjust lifestyle choices if needed, and suggesting natural prevention for common discomforts of pregnancy. The ideal is to help you maintain your low-risk status, improving your chances to birth safely and happily at home.
Our goal is to sensitively and skillfully guide the course of labor, birth and your time with your new baby. Home birth midwives also facilitate the initiation of breastfeeding and examine the newborn head-to-toe after birth.
Home birth is not for every couple, but it can be an intimate, loving experience. We will individualize our care to your needs and hopes for your birth.
