Please call or write NJ Assembly Speaker Coughlin and Senate President Scutari and insist that they bring the Midwifery Licensing Act to the floor for a vote during this Lame Duck session.

This legislation creates an Independent Board of Midwifery, Independent Midwifery Practice, and independent prescriptive authority— expanding access and supporting the midwifery workforce.

About 10% of babies need some support figuring out its time to breathe. Resuscitating newborns is a skill in our midwifery tool box that we do when needed. But like everything with home birth, we perform neonatal resuscitation on or next to the parents with their active involvement.

This photo caught by .weinstein is right when we completed providing breaths to a brand new baby with a bag valve mask on the parents lap with the umbilical cord attached.

Birth availability calendar update!

The Lifecycle Birth Center closing is a huge loss. Our community will be missing a vital option for compassionate birth care.
As families are looking for alternative options, we wanted to share our availability for the next several months.

As a practice, we cap at 5 births a month so we can be available to all of our clients when they need us.

To learn more about working with Refuge for your birth, schedule a free consultation on our website (link in bio)

Trans/Q***r Childbirth Class
Online class with Ash Dasqui

For q***r and trans individuals, navigating this system can be even more challenging due to constant misgendering that goes far beyond pronouns, feminized language scattered all throughout the pregnancy/birth process, assumptions about sexuality, gender and family structures, and lack of affirming birth support or resources.

This by-donation two-class series is for gestating folks, birth support folks, people trying to conceive, and birthworkers. Participants will learn together, process pregnancy and birth within a culture of gender, racial and medical-industrial oppression that harmfully feminizes birth, and develop uniquely supportive, often lasting friendships.

Embodied Birth is a framework for navigating pregnancy, birth and postpartum with radical, evidence-based and decolonial tools, knowledge, and support, and doing so as folks’ authentic diverse selves.
