The Birthing Tree

Specialties

The Birthing Tree is a cooperative of Nurse-​Midwives, Doulas, Acupuncturists, Massage Therapists, Ayurvedic Practitioners and Parent Educators working in collaboration to provide compassionate, high quality services from conception, through pregnancy and into parenting.

We are guided by the philosophy that the healthy growth and development of a child and a parent begins well before conception! Our services are designed to support families not just on a physical level but also on the emotional and spiritual aspects of this journey.

Pregnancy, birth and parenthood are one of the most exciting and transformational times of our lives. The challenges of integrating a new baby into your family may raise many questions and concerns. The Birthing Tree offers classes and private consultation services to help you through these precious and vulnerable weeks and months of postpartum adjustment. Our goal is to assist you in acquiring skills needed to care for your infant and in finding balance in your life as a parent.
