Saturday night we celebrated Jacinta’s transition from student to primary midwife with a Blessing of the Hands ceremony, a traditional practice in the lineage of black midwives. It was BEAUTIFUL. A beautiful 🤎 filled celebration of a beautiful soul. A big thank you to for making it happen and to everyone who poured into Jacinta and I on this journey. Jacinta is my first formal student. Along with helping her grow to be a strong and competent midwife, my goal was to make it through this student/ preceptor relationship with our respect for each other and friendship intact, and we managed that. I’m pretty sure I learned as much as she did. ;) Can’t wait to watch her wisdom, power, and heart continue to grow. you are a blessing.

Jacinta and I went for a skate tonight TO CELEBRATE THE COMPLETION OF HER APPRENTICESHIP!! ⭐️🤎There is so much I could say to mark this occasion, but I will go with this. There are people that come in to your life, who simply by the beauty of their humanity, require that you rise to meet them. Jacinta is one of those people for me. She was a midwife in her heart and being, her advocacy, her steadfast presence, her wisdom, when we started working together four and a half years ago. She just needed the tools to go with her power. And here we are. It has been a highlight of my career helping her find her way. Please join me in a big congratulations to Jacinta. You can find her . And, if you are looking for a midwife, know that should you choose to work with Jacinta, you will be in excellent hands. Best wishes my friend.

“I am so glad that I chose to work with Cassie ... The amount of knowledge, patience, and 24/7 customized care was more than I could have ever hoped for. This was our first child and my husband and I were so impressed with the personalized, detailed sessions. To be new parents with so many questions, Cassie made us feel more and more confident at every appointment as she prepared us for our home birth. We were also seeing an OBGYN in the first couple weeks of pregnancy and It was a night and day difference from how we were treated and cared for. We soon dropped our OBGYN because we found that Cassie provided everything we needed. When they came to our house to help me with my birth, Cassie and Jacinta made the most amazing team. Never wavered, never doubted me and always kept my wishes and preferences above all. I appreciate how they also gave room for my husband to perform his role as my coach and soother. I trusted them with all my heart, and I would do it again with no hesitation. They have my deepest gratitude and I will forever praise their work! I would 100% recommend to ANYONE who is having a baby.” Thank you . It was an honor.

One of my amazing midwife babies has had an accident. Luckily, he is recovering. They were on vacation when this happened and he is hospitalized out of state indefinitely for now. His family could very much use help. If you can donate, please do. If not, please hold him, them, and his care team in your prayers. They are wonderful. Love you Fuoco family.

Dear friends and community, Our beloved friend Stephanie, along with her husband and their other son, is going through an incredibly difficult time.

Witness my daughter clearing her own IV line at her infusion appointment today. Empowering patient centered care is possible, even in pediatrics. Why are we settling for less in obstetrics? Want to be supported in your care? Call a midwife. Me. Call me. 🤍🙃 (Clearing your IV line not required.)

This is homebirth. Partner, child, beloved pet. You, in your home, surrounded by your loves. What doesn’t show in the second photo is the oxygen tank just out of frame that helped bolster mom and baby in the last minutes of birth after having mom get out of the tub for decelerations in baby’s heart rate. It wasn’t an emergency. It was a complication safely managed at home. The peace, the love, the unwavering support of her birth team, AND tools to aid in safe delivery. They can co-exist. And look at those smiles. Thank you for trusting me and more importantly trusting yourself. These babies of yours chose wisely. Love you! 🤍

With gratitude in our hearts, we announce the closing of Motherhood Collective Las Vegas. It has been a beautiful 6+ years that we have welcomed and served families in our space, but it is time to say goodbye to our home away from home on 8th Street. Please know this is not the end of Erica and my midwifery care, but the ending of our time in this space. I will be moving to a beautiful new office sharing space with Tori Isola, and Erica will be moving forward doing home visits. So please continue to refer and seek us out for care individually. We are so blessed and grateful for you, all of you in our wonderful Las Vegas community for making our time in this space an unforgettable journey. Now onward and upwards as Erica and I pursue the next phase of our midwifery journeys. In celebration of the joy of this space and for what is to come, please join us for a holiday party. Refreshments will be provided. Feel free to bring something to share if you would like. Saturday, December 14 from 10am - Noon. We would love to see you there.
