It is with deep regret to inform you that Mt. Edgecumbe Midwifery will be closing permanently. I have enjoyed serving the women in Sitka and will forever hold each and every one of you in my heart.
I wish you only the best.
Thank you for choosing Midwifery.
"Imagine if our culture told us that birth was one of the greatest things a woman might ever do.
Imagine if the stories and images we were exposed to taught us that labor {or birth in general, however you bring your baby earthside} is an incredible and transformational experience. A rite of passage into motherhood."
~Leonie MacDonald. Birth Journeys

My passion is serving women in their own environment, where they live and grow their families.

Communication
If you are in my care you will have my personal cell-phone number. If you have an emergency call me regardless of what time it is. If I don't answer right away, leave me a message, and then call right back. I will know that you have an emergency and will step away and take your call.
If you have questions about supplements, what foods you can/cannot eat or activities you can/cannot do, anything that is not urgent. Please write them down and ask them at your next prenatal appointment, text (before 8pm) or send me an email. I will get back to you as soon as possible because your concerns do matter to me.
I don't mind at all getting texts about things that concern you but I also ask that you respect my home life and the time I devote to other clients. As a midwife sleep is a valuable commodity and much needed to prepare for birth. I want to be ready and at my best for any situation that arises and I need your help in protecting these boundaries.
Any texts or calls after 8pm that are not urgent will be billed a $50.00 fee
