Midwifery Care for the Entire Family
Our mission at Mother Mary’s Midwifery Services is to provide families with compassionate, respectful, and empowering care throughout their pregnancy and birth journeys. We are committed to honoring bodily autonomy and supporting informed decision-making, ensuring every family feels heard, advocated for, and valued. Education is a cornerstone of our care philosophy; we strive to equip our clients with the knowledge they need to fully understand their options and make choices free from judgment.
We are dedicated to improving maternal and infant health outcomes by actively working to reduce mortality, morbidity, and birth trauma. Recognizing the longstanding impact of systemic racism within healthcare, we are passionate about fostering an inclusive environment where diverse families feel represented and respected.
