The Homebirth Experience
The most gentle birth is assisted by a midwife who honors baby's
birth experience, helping to create a welcoming atmosphere of trust, joy and
love.
For the Baby - A safe and gentle birth is the
foundation for a baby's physical and emotional well-being.
For the Mother - For a healthy woman, the
safest birth takes place in the home with an experienced birth attendant.
 Barbie Burrage CPM RM (Certified Professional Midwife,
Registered Midwife).
I've had a homebirth practice since 1977. In the past 30+ years, I have
assisted just over 2000 families birth their babies in the comfort and safety of
their own homes.
Prior to my midwifery practice, I worked in Phoenix, Arizona, as a Labor/Deliver
Room RN. It was my growing concern from watching births being managed and
manipulated by medical intervention, resulting in medically induced
complications and increased Cesarean Sections that drove me to seek a way to
offer women an alternative way to birth their babies.
