Welcome to Home Sweet Home!

We are so glad that you are here! 

​

Home Sweet Home is a small, intimate home birth practice that will serve women and families. Midwifery care will be provided for women in the Des Moines metro and surrounding areas. 

​

While I know there are a few home birth options in Des Moines, there are quite a few things that set Home Sweet Home apart from the others. I am the only Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) with a Christian based home birth practice. Pregnancy & birth is such a special and important time in a woman’s life and I truly believe that God is present in this journey with families. 

​

Home birth and midwifery care is all about relationship. Clients see me for almost a year usually (all of pregnancy plus the postpartum time) and we really get to know one another. This is something I truly value as being the only midwife in my practice. Your visits will always be 45-90mins in length and there is a lot of education that happens from pregnancy, nutrition, exercise/wellness, newborn education, postpartum education, vaccinations (whether you want to do none, some, or all), breastfeeding, mental health, safety, and so much more!

 

I also only take on a few clients each month for births. This is to ensure all moms have my full attention & that births will not overlap. I value my clients and their families greatly and truly believe in giving them my full support! 

​

I look forward to meeting your family & watching you grow during this amazing time in life.
