The kids are alright, except by “kids,” I mean future midwives🫶🏻🎯

We have a team of birth assistants that amaze me with their consistency and commitment to growth and learning. They all have different goals and aspirations, but they all have skills and determination.

The future of community midwifery is bright🌟

My inspiration for this work will always be my golden children. I remember what it was like to not receive respectful care in pregnancy and birth. I carry those experiences with me and every time I have the opportunity to care for my clients with compassion and respect, I am filled with joy and a part of me is healed. Life is a collection of experiences, good and bad. Maybe the whole point is to turn around and help those coming behind us on their journeys.

Marigold Midwifery is accepting clients for home birth midwifery and monitrice services. If you’re interested in care that is respectful, gentle, and professional please reach out.

Irene Marigold and Leonard Gold, you are everything to your daddy and mama. Thank you for all the lessons you teach us just by existing.

I am grateful for a community of amazing providers to collaborate with and refer to. We live in an area rich in options for families.

It was a pleasure to attend a birth that was kept safe by utilizing the hospital system. Our client received compassionate care and had a birth she felt great about.

As an added bonus, my guess on baby’s weight was off by only 2 ounces! I’m getting good!

If you’re considering an out of hospital birth in the eastern panhandle of WV or the northern Shenandoah Valley of VA, I would love to chat about the comprehensive care midwives can provide alone or in collaboration with other providers.

If we have worked together in any professional capacity, I would really appreciate it if you could leave me a review on my Google page.

My original Google profile was deleted due to issues getting my address verified, and I lost all of my positive reviews.

I’m rich because I have some clients who bring me homegrown flowers and others who call 12 hours after their birth just to say thank you.

My cup is full and I am blessed to be “with women.”

September is Su***de Prevention Month, a vital time to bring light to a conversation that is too often left out of perinatal care. Understanding the realities of maternal mental health helps us better protect and support growing families.

Here is what the data tells us:
While mental health conditions are a leading cause of maternal mortality, there is a profoundly important statistic we must focus on: Up to 87% of pregnancy-related deaths, including those tied to mental health, are preventable.

We also know that support is needed long after the early newborn days. Data shows that 62% of pregnancy-related suicides occur between 43 and 365 days postpartum. The vulnerability doesn’t disappear when the “fourth trimester” ends, which is why ongoing care and community support are so critical.

Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are complex, but they are highly treatable. Reaching out for mental health support is a brave, healthy, and routine part of caring for yourself and your baby.

At Marigold Midwifery, we want every family in our community to know that you do not have to navigate the weight of pregnancy or postpartum alone. If you or someone you love is hurting, free and confidential help is available right now:

📞 National Maternal Mental Health Hotline: Call or text 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262) for 24/7 support for pregnant and new parents.

📞 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline: Call or text 988

📞 Postpartum Support International (PSI): Text “Help” to 800-944-4773

These resources are not just for the person struggling! If you are concerned about someone you know and love you can call on their behalf to get advice on how to help them.

People often ask where the name Marigold Midwifery comes from, and the answer is written right in my heart: our children, Irene Marigold and Leonard Gold. 🌼✨

When I was carrying our daughter and son, I didn’t realize just how deeply their arrival would reshape my life; not only as a mother, but as a midwife. Walking through pregnancy, labor, and postpartum with Irene and Leonard was the exact spark that lit my path toward becoming a midwife.

Through their births, I learned the single most profound truth of my work: empowerment in birth is rarely about achieving a “picture-perfect” outcome. Birth is dynamic, unpredictable, and deeply personal.

Plans can shift and outcomes can change. But when you are treated with unwavering dignity, when your voice is centered, and when you are fiercely supported and respected through every single moment; that is where true empowerment lives. Experiencing that kind of care transforms you. It leaves you stepping into parenthood knowing your own strength, no matter what path you took to get there.

My children are the golden heart behind every family I serve, every care decision I make, and every scholarship we offer through The Golden Hour Grant. They taught me that gentle, respectful care isn’t a luxury; it’s a foundation every family deserves.

Thank you for letting me be a part of your village. 💛
