Happy 6-week graduation Arthur 💗 We sure will miss seeing this amazing family!

Sweet words from Arthur’s mama:

“Grateful doesn’t even begin to describe how l feel about these amazing midwives who made our birth experience so calm, safe, and empowering.

For anyone thinking about a natural or birth center delivery, Alma was everything I hoped for and more.”

Menopause and perimenopause are nuanced and individual ✨If you've seen the news recently about hormone therapy and would like to know more about what it all means (and means for you), let's talk it through!

C-sections can be life-saving, but they’re becoming more common than ever — about 32% of all births in the U.S. are now surgical.

At Alma, our approach focuses on balance and support.
In 2024, 15% of our clients planning a birth center birth required a C-section, and so far in 2025, that number has dropped to 13% for those who began labor in our birth center. 🌿

These rates align with World Health Organization goals (10–15%), the ideal range for safe, supported birth.
We also know that C-section rates are higher among women of color, especially Black and Indigenous parents — a reminder of why equitable, person-centered care matters.

Nayan was born on a sunny summer afternoon at Alma. Their Appa birthed and caught them with so much strength and love.

Midwife Olivia has had the honor of supporting this beautiful family through three pregnancies and births. She holds the memories of the births of Sanchal, Kaanan and now Nayan so dearly.

Thank you so much to this family for sharing these lovely photos with us. So much love you for you all 💛

💭❤️ Postpartum is a tender time for all families, thank you all for your loving support.

This week, we celebrate the midwives whose hands and hearts guide families through one of life’s most transformative journeys. 🌿

Being a midwife is truly a labor of love — with long nights, early mornings, moments of intensity, and endless compassion. Every birth reminds us why we do this work: to support our community through one of life’s most sacred passages.

At Alma, we’re endlessly grateful for our dedicated team of midwives and staff who lead with skill, heart, and genuine care every single day. 💛

We’d love to hear from you — how has a midwife touched your life? Share your story below.

Happiest of graduations to Sonny! It is always so special to have helped a family welcome multiple babies into the world. Big brother Clay was born at Alma with the same midwife Olivia and student midwife Bonnie and Sonny was born at home-too quickly for us to set up the tub as planned! We will miss his smiles and getting to see him grow. 🥹❤️

Here’s the data folks! 📈

It’s always best to ask your midwife for advice when it comes to things like this, but hopefully this helps clear up some confusion.

Liliana was born during “golden hour” in the Fern room, welcomed in the tub by her dad and big sister (who helped catch her!).

She’s grown fast in these 6 weeks! We’re sure going to miss her snuggles and sweet demeanor 💜
