Midwifery Care & Homebirth Service
Homebirth is a great option for women who want a natural birth and are experiencing a healthy pregnancy.
The Midwives Model of Care™ is a fundamentally different approach to pregnancy and childbirth than contemporary obstetrics. I support the 'Midwives Model of Care' which is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are normal life processes.
The application of this client-centered model of care has been proven to reduce the incidence of birth injury, trauma, and cesarean section.
Empowering birth options.
Clients can give birth naturally in their own home, using various comfort measures such as massage, freedom to move around, using the shower, tub or even have a waterbirth.
We monitor vitals regularly during labor and are trained with birth emergency skills for out of hospital settings.
Delayed cord clamping and honoring the golden hour are encouraged before the full newborn exam.
Family members are not restricted and can be as involved as much as you like.

It's been one week since the most indescribable event has happened. I was gifted from God the ability to bring my son into this world at home, safely with my husband and family right next to me. I had the most amazing support through my husband who guided me the entire time. I love you, babe. What an amazing experience!
Thank you to my beautiful midwife for the best prenatal care. I literally would have not been able to do it without her reassurance and positivity these past 9 months!
To those who've said I would not be able to do this, this is for you. For those women who have been told you cannot birth your child naturally this is for you. For those who have had trauma to your body, you are still capable. Just as our bodies know how to grow babies, it also knows how to birth babies.

My name is Ashley, we are clients here at Well Rounded Momma and my midwife was Sarah. Sarah was amazing. I came in when I was 24 weeks along. I had previously had an OB but then switched over to a midwife. Sarah made us feel so comfortable. She went through every step of the process over and over again because I always had a million questions. She never had a problem answering all my questions. She always made us feel so comfortable about what was going on. Even when I didn't think I could do it she pushed me through it and was super positive every step of the way. The night that Parker was born, my labor went from zero to 100 really fast... but we weren't stressed out, we weren't scared. She had us completely prepared, we knew everything to do, we had all the supplies that we needed and she got there just in time and it was amazing. It was everything I wanted. I wanted to delay cord clamp and I got it. I wanted her straight on my chest and I got it. I didn't want the ointment they put on her eyes, certain shots or medicine... Sarah was very supportive every step of the way and I couldn't have asked for a better experience.

5 stars plus a MILLION more to our midwife Sarah Sorvillo! She is an amazing midwife who went ABOVE and BEYOND our expectations. Every prenatal visit she spent as much time as we needed going over questions and checking to make sure everything was going well with our baby girl. Sarah took the time to explain to us all the financial parts, any testing that was available to us for the baby and she even paid us a house visit at 35 weeks to check on me and make sure I wasn't going into labor early! Her knowledge of herbs and supplements to help support the body during pregnancy is incredible! We planned to have a home delivery with our 4th child but our little girl had other plans and did not want to come out! Sarah helped us transfer to a hospital and was by our side during the delivery. She still did our follow ups after the baby was born and she will continue to handle our baby's milestone checkups until she is 2 years old!
She is such a loving person who truly takes care of her clients.
Sarah was my midwife and I could not have had the birth I wanted without her love and support. Living away from all family and most friends, I wasn't sure if I would have the support I would need to do a home birth but found WRM and met Sarah at an open house.
I instantly connected with her and felt at home with her around. During labor, she kept me motivated and made me feel safe and loved so that I could birth my baby boy, unmedicated and at home.
Not only was she amazing to work with, but will forever be a part of my life.
