Global Midwifery & Birth
"It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back."
From, The Invitation, by Oriah
Global Care.
Global Midwifery Care at Coyote is designed to hold the whole arc of the childbearing year, from pregnancy through birth, postpartum, and the early weeks with your baby. Care includes comprehensive prenatal visits, on-call support, labor and birth attendance, postpartum and newborn care, integrated IBCLC lactation support, and built-in support from Coyote’s birth team.

The Details.
Our why.
We became birthworkers because of a drive to see individuals give birth in a manner that affirms their dignity and power. To see babies born in an environment that honors their being. We believe in birth. We believe when the birthing person is given a supportive and safe environment, they are more able to tap into their instinctual wisdom and birth unhindered. We pledge to do our very best for you, to be alert and attentive to all aspects of your well-being, and to do our utmost to see that your child emerges into an atmosphere that is nurturing for the whole family. We acknowledge and appreciate your trust in us through these sacred times of transformation.
