“I lie awake
calculating the distance
from womb to the world.
It is such a short road to travel.

You are nearly here,
less than arm’s length away.

There is but the patient opening
of one long-awaited flower,
the quiet mechanics
of one perfectly crafted key
turning in the lock of my body
and moving through.

Blood and water ring of fire,
life and death and breath and rest.
I offer up my utter surrender
to the God who knit you together
in the secret of this womb.

It is such a short road to travel,
as I, my child, deliver you—
so God delivers me.”
Mackenzie Chester

A client painted this beautiful painting for us, and it stopped us in our tracks. Birth has a way of reminding us how thin the veil really is between holding and releasing, strength and surrender, heaven and earth.

We are grateful for the families who trust us with moments this sacred.❤️

Held in Brave Surrender 🤍

Meet Edaline
Born June 1, 2025
8 lbs 8 oz • 22 inches

Edaline’s birth was a beautiful reminder of what can unfold when courage rises and fear is gently surrendered. After days of stop-and-start labor, her mama listened closely to her body, and when things finally shifted, they moved with gentle certainty. The birth team arrived at their home only a short time before Edaline made her quick entrance into the world.

Her big siblings were a shining part of her story, sharing birth affirmations they had made for their mama, offering hands to hold, and helping get the tub just right. Their excitement and tenderness filled the room with such sweetness, especially as they waited to discover whether their new sibling would be a boy or a girl.

Edaline surprised everyone by arriving on her daddy’s birthday, making the day forever shared and even more meaningful.

Welcome, sweet Edaline. From the beginning, you brought courage, connection, and joy. 🤍

Held in the Fastest Kind of Joy 💙
Meet Ezra Anthony
Born May 29, 2025
7lbs 1oz • 19.75 inches

Ezra’s arrival was as joyful as it was quick. His mama was one of the first families to use the shared contraction timer app, sending us real time updates while she labored at home. As we watched her contractions grow closer together, something in our hearts said to start getting the Blue Room ready. The inflatable tub takes a while to prepare, but the moment we saw those patterns, we knew we needed to get it blown up and filled.

Not long after, Caroline called to say that Ezra’s parents were on their way and things were moving fast. We met them at the door, and it was clear their baby boy was not far behind. Their oldest was able to be part of the labor in those early, exciting moments, making the evening even sweeter for this growing family.

The room was ready, the tub was warm, and Ezra was born less than an hour after their arrival, surrounded by joy, support, and so much love.

Ezra’s birth was quick, bright, and full of energy, a reminder that sometimes babies know exactly when it is time.

Welcome, Ezra Anthony. You brought joy with you from the very first moment. 💙

🤍 Held Through Prayer

Meet Eden Mae
Born May 24, 2025
6lbs 15oz

Eden’s journey began with quiet, powerful intention. The week she was born, while her Mama was in early labor, a small group came to the birth center to pray over the space and the families who would soon fill it. Their words of blessing settled over the rooms where Eden’s story began.

As labor unfolded, clear guidance and calm discernment led her parents to continue her birth at the hospital. Even in a new setting, their vision and their values remained steady. With incredible support surrounding them, Eden’s dad still had the honor of catching his daughter, a moment that meant so much to them.

Eden’s parents also carried one of their most meaningful plans with them into the hospital. They shared communion together with their birth support team during labor, a beautiful expression of faith and unity that brought peace into the room in a powerful way.

When their chiropractor, Dr. Elizabeth, arrived to adjust Eden’s mama in labor, she remarked on how peaceful the birth space felt, saying she had never seen a hospital birth space quite like that. Love, advocacy, and prayer shaped every part of Eden’s arrival, creating a birth that was deeply meaningful in its own way.

Eden’s birth is a reminder that peace and prayer can carry families through the unexpected with grace.

Welcome, sweet Eden Mae. You are cherished beyond words. 🤍

Held in Perfect Peace 🕊️

Meet Noelle Shalom
Born May 20, 2025
8lbs 0oz • 19.5 inches

Noelle’s birth was a story wrapped in peace from beginning to end. Her parents prepared with such intention, surrounding themselves with prayer, wisdom, and steady support as they welcomed their daughter into the world at home.

Her arrival carried a sense of redemption and gentle restoration that could be felt in every moment, a quiet reminder that birth can unfold with beauty and strength when families are supported and trusted. The room was calm, the moments were gentle, and her first breath filled the space with the peace her name carries.

Welcome, Noelle Shalom. You are a gift of perfect peace. 🤍

Held in Tender Strength 🤍

Meet Peter Joe
Born May 1, 2025
6 lbs 3 oz • 19.25 inches

Peter’s birth unfolded on a day full of unexpected turns, but through every change, one thing remained steady. He was surrounded by unwavering care and by parents who met each moment with courage and love. His arrival may not have followed the path anyone imagined, yet his story is one of strength, resilience, and tender beginnings.

In the days that followed, Peter and his mom and dad settled into a peaceful rhythm of healing and bonding, embracing the quiet beauty of their new life together.

Welcome, Peter Joe. You are a treasure. 🤍

November marks one year since the official licensing of the birth center. Over the past twelve months, we’ve witnessed countless moments of strength, tenderness, and joy within these walls. Every family, every birth, every story has shaped this space into something truly sacred.

We’re filled with gratitude for the community that has grown around this place and look forward to celebrating together after the new year with a proper anniversary gathering.

For now, we’d love to welcome you in for a visit. Tonight is our Group Tour Night, from 5:00–6:30 p.m.

If you’ve been curious about home or birth center care, this is a relaxed way to explore your options, ask questions, and get a feel for what Held can offer your family.

With care,
The Held Midwifery & Wellness Team

April showers brought May flowers 🌼

Some moments leave roots that keep growing long after the season has passed. The blooms outside our birth center remind us of how love endures, how beauty can rise from tender places, and how even quiet acts of remembrance can fill the world with color.

Each flower tells a story of life, of love, and of hearts forever held. 🌿
