Unfurling Birth and Midwifery Services

We had the privilege of attending this birth this spring for a dear repeat client and it was such a joy to get to take care of her and her family again and get to be with daughter who we helped her with a few years ago. That was one helpful big sister! And thanks to Sam for helping to assist at this one while Catherine was on parental leave. This was a beautiful birth. Thanks so much to this client for sharing these photos.

It is always the sweetest to include big siblings (especially ones whose births we also attended!) in prenatal care visits!

It was such a pleasure to care for these first time parents and their baby! Here they are at their six week final postpartum visit and their baby is thriving. We have loved seeing their intuitive parenting flourish.

We are sending this thriving family off in to the world after their final postpartum visit with us. It was such a pleasure to support these sweet people/amazing parents through this time in their lives. 💗

Thanks to this dear client for sharing her birth photos with us! Here she is laboring at home, giving birth in the hospital after a transfer of care, and holding and nursing her beautiful newborn! This client worked hard through a long labor and is an intuitive and loving parent to this baby. It was honor to support them through this experience.

Welcome to the world Julian! Midwife Catherine gave birth at home on 1/22 and I (Sarah) got to catch this sweet baby. 💜 Catherine and Julian were lovingly supported in labor by friends and midwives and they are both doing well as they learn about this new life together. 💜

Sometimes the floor of the shower is the best place to have a baby. We can work with whatever works for our clients! It was such a joy to witness this strong woman giving birth.

This cutie was feeling done with the appointment by the time we took this picture, but, before this, we were so happy to see them and their family thriving at their final postpartum visit! It was such a pleasure to get to know and care for this family through their pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

We were so grateful to get to care for this sweet couple through this pregnancy, the birth of their first baby, and the first several weeks postpartum. Thank you for sharing this most vulnerable time with us!
