What Does a Midwife Do?
A midwife supports women through pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Midwives focus on prenatal visits, labor support, and postpartum care. We offer a holistic approach, prioritizing a natural and safe childbirth experience. If you’re curious about the difference between a midwife vs doula, midwives like our CNMs can provide clinical care, while doulas focus on emotional and physical support.
Prenatal Care with a Midwife
Prenatal care is essential for a healthy and safe pregnancy journey. At our practice, our experienced midwives provide regular check-ups and thorough physical exams to monitor both your health and your baby’s growth. We take time to answer your questions, offer personalized advice, and help you understand the many changes your body goes through during pregnancy.
Our midwives guide you through each stage of pregnancy, explaining what to expect and how to prepare for labor and delivery. Together, we create a personalized birth plan that reflects your preferences and needs, helping you feel confident and ready for your due date.
The midwifery model of care focuses on compassionate, one-on-one support and education throughout your entire pregnancy. This approach encourages open communication, empowering you to make informed decisions and build a strong partnership with your care team.
By choosing prenatal care with a midwife, you gain access to attentive, continuous care designed to promote the best possible outcomes for you and your baby. We are here to support you every step of the way—from your first visit through postpartum care.
Labor and Delivery Support
We offer continuous support through every stage of labor. Whether you’re planning a vaginal delivery or using pain management options, our midwives are here to guide you. We also offer techniques like using a birthing ball and breathing exercises.
- Pain management: Support for natural and medicated pain relief options.
- Birth plan support: We help you create a plan that suits your goals.
- Emotional support: Our team provides encouragement throughout labor.
The Childbirth Process
We believe childbirth is a natural process. Our team supports you during every stage, from early labor to delivery of the placenta. We are committed to helping you have the birth experience you desire, whether it’s at home, in a hospital, or at a birthing center.
Comprehensive Postpartum Care After Your Baby’s Birth
Once your baby is born, our care continues with dedicated postpartum support to help you recover and adjust to your new life as a parent. Our midwives provide gentle, personalized care focused on your physical healing, emotional well-being, and overall health during this important transition.
We assist with the delivery of the placenta, ensuring that this final stage of birth is safe and comfortable. Afterward, we closely monitor your recovery to identify and address any concerns, such as bleeding, pain, or infection, so you can heal properly.
Breastfeeding support is a vital part of our postpartum care. Our team offers guidance on latch techniques, feeding schedules, and managing common challenges to help you and your baby establish a strong, healthy feeding relationship.
We also provide emotional support, recognizing that postpartum adjustment can bring a wide range of feelings, from joy to stress or anxiety. Our midwives listen carefully, offer resources, and connect you with additional help if needed.
Whether it’s your first baby or your third, we’re here to support you through every step of postpartum recovery, helping you build confidence as you care for your newborn and adjust to this new chapter of life.

Where do births happen for Camarillo patients?
Births are planned in a hospital setting—most commonly at Los Robles Hospital in Thousand Oaks—so you receive continuous midwifery support with immediate access to full medical resources.
Who is a good fit for hospital midwifery care?
Individuals with healthy, low-risk pregnancies are typically excellent candidates. Christy collaborates closely with OB physicians and the hospital team to provide individualized, evidence-based care.
How does hospital midwifery compare with traditional OB care?
You’ll receive the personalized, relationship-centered support of a midwife within the safety of a hospital. We emphasize your preferences and comfort while ensuring access to modern medical care.
Do you take insurance?
In most cases, yes—coverage depends on your specific plan. We work with many major insurers and can supply documentation for reimbursement when appropriate. Contact us to confirm your benefits.
What if a complication arises during labor?
Because you’re delivering in a hospital, advanced care is on hand if needed. Christy coordinates with the on-site physician and nursing team to ensure a smooth transition to higher-level support.
Can I plan for an unmedicated birth in the hospital?
Absolutely. Many clients choose low-intervention or unmedicated births in the hospital. We support your preferences—whether that includes natural labor, an epidural, or other comfort measures—while keeping safety first.
When should I begin care?
Starting in the first or early second trimester is ideal, but we accept new patients at any stage. Early outreach helps us coordinate your care plan and hospital schedule.
