This is a brand new service.  It is not limited to clients in the Columbia, Missouri area, but is available nationwide!

At times, it may be helpful to have a personal conversation with a birth professional who is compassionate but also objective.  This is a consultation / coaching service geared toward answering your questions and also helping you discover for yourself the solutions to problems or challenges you are facing.

Please note that the “Ask a Midwife” service cannot diagnose or treat physical or mental health issues, nor is it meant to serve the same function as a licensed counselor, therapist, or psychologist. 

Possible reasons you may want to talk to a midwife:

• Helping to find the right care provider or birth setting for you including: assistance with finding an out of hospital care provider in your area if needed, coming up with the right questions to interview a prospective care provider.

• Discussing your pregnancy and how it is going, finding solutions for health and well-being improvement during pregnancy, holistic midwifery information on health care choices

• Coaching on positive changes in the areas of diet and exercise

• Exploring life issues related to pregnancy and motherhood, with coaching-based solution discovery
• Solution-oriented discussion for difficulties in the patient-provider relationship

• For women thinking about becoming a midwife: exploration of routes to midwifery education with coaching to help you consider the right pathway for you.
