Welcome to Midwife & Doula Services
We are a small, intimate childbirth service directed by an independent Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and a Certified Doula (CD). Our service is dedicated to offering quality prenatal care, birth and postnatal follow-up care to women and families in the greater Des Moines, Iowa community. We specialize in very personalized relationship building-- and optimal, not adequate care--during this special time of life. All births with Midwife and Doula Services take place at a hospital- usually Iowa Methodist Medical Center (IMMC)- while prenatal care is received in a comfortable, home-like setting.
