Midwifery Care

A great option for women who want a natural birth and are experiencing a healthy pregnancy.

​

At Heaven Sent Homebirth, we honor pregnancy and birth as normal, God-designed processes. We focus on nurturing health, preventing complications, and supporting the well-being of both mother and baby.

​

We practice shared decision-making as a true partnership — combining the best scientific evidence with your personal values and preferences so we can make care decisions together. 

​

This client-centered model has been shown to reduce birth trauma, unnecessary interventions, and cesarean sections, helping you experience a safer and more empowering birth.

Prenatal Care

We believe maternity care should be personal, peaceful, and never rushed.

 

Each appointment is 45 minutes long, allowing time to truly discuss your health, your preferences, and your goals for birth.

​​

This beautiful Victorian house was designed with families in mind. While mom enjoys her midwife appointment in the connected office, little ones can play nearby in their own cozy corner — complete with toys, books, and a darling playhouse.

Birth Center & Homebirth

Our community birth center is designed to feel like home — warm, peaceful, and deeply comforting.

 

Each suite is thoughtfully created with soft lighting, cozy décor, and space for movement, rest, and family involvement. From birth balls and stools to gentle hydrotherapy and (coming soon) large heated birth tubs, every tool is here to support a calm, instinctive labor.​

​

We monitor vitals regularly during labor and are trained with birth emergency skills for out of hospital settings, carry emergency medications and equipment such as oxygen.

Client Testimonials

"I had a prior homebirth years ago with a different midwife that did not go very well. So it was a difficult decision for me to choose a homebirth again after that experience. But after meeting Sarah at Heaven Sent, I felt confident enough to go for it. She always listened and talked through my concerns, fears, and goals, and she was so supportive from my first appointment on. Sarah is a wealth of knowledge and has such a calming presence that all expecting mothers need. My homebirth was redemptive, peaceful, and smooth -- exactly how I dreamt it to be. I owe it all to Sarah and Shannon. I'm forever grateful I chose Heaven Sent Homebirth for my 4th and final pregnancy!"
