Ever wonder why some women choose home birth?

Ask the ones who’ve had both.

Not the ones who’ve only ever known one way.
The ones who’ve experienced hospital birth… and then chose something different the next time.

Because what they’ll tell you is:

– The difference in how they were spoken to
– The difference in how their body was trusted
– The difference in pace, pressure, and decision-making
– The difference between being managed and being supported

Two completely different environments.
Two completely different experiences.

And once you’ve felt both, it tells you everything you need to know.

Midwifery care filled with grace.

When I was young girl, I knew I wanted to be a midwife. It was something my heart was drawn to a long time ago, and I know it was the right choice. Midwifery life isn’t a schedule—it’s a calling. 💛
It’s late nights that turn into early mornings, missed holidays, interrupted dinners, planning everything 9 months in advance, and sleep that comes in fragments. It’s coming home from a birth at 2am to be woken up at 4am for another birth an hour away.
It’s showing up when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, and unpredictable… because someone needs you in one of the most vulnerable, powerful moments of their life.
I wouldn’t change it for the world.
It’s the quiet sacrifices no one really sees—time with your own family, the mental load you carry, the way your heart stretches to hold so many stories at once.

And still… it’s beyond worth it. Every single time.

Because in return, you witness strength in its rawest form. You stand in sacred spaces. You catch first breaths, hear first cries, and hold families as they are born.

This work doesn’t just fill a role—it fills a purpose.
And even on the hardest days, there’s nowhere else you’d rather be.
The relationship with my clients (and only taking a small number each month) and seeing them all the way through is the reward that’s worth these sacrifices. Seeing women push past their fears, feeling God’s peace and provision in the room, guiding her to find strength to push to the end until her baby is her arms, listening to her speak with gratitude about her birth afterwards…there’s no words to describe the joy and privilege it is to experience this with women and their families. Some call it crazy, but I call it a calling and a ministry.

To all of our amazing mamas who’ve trusted Genesis midwifery with your pregnancy and birth - thank you. You’ve given us a gift and an incredible purpose.

Your baby’s head is beautifully designed for birth 🤍

Newborns are born with four main skull plates (often called “plates,” not platelets) that are not fused together yet. These plates are connected by soft spaces called fontanelles.

During labor, these plates can gently overlap and shift—a process called molding—which helps baby move through the pelvis more easily. After birth, they slowly move back into place.

Those soft spots aren’t a flaw… they’re a feature!

They allow for:
• Easier passage through the birth canal
• Rapid brain growth in the first year of life
• Natural flexibility and protection during birth

Was your baby’s head radically different right after birth? How long did it take for their skull to take a more normal shape?

Simply one of the sweetest things I’ve ever seen! 🥲🤗 we love a family home birth. They are more common than you think!
Children seem to intuitively understand birth and are in awe of it. We’ve seen it many times - they don’t feel fear, but rather experiment, wonder, anticipation and love throughout the room.

Were your young children present during a birth? We would love to hear any stories, and also tips for mamas who might be preparing for the same thing! 👇🏼

It’s not everyday you get to experience labor and birth outside, under the stars ✨ 😍

Is this somewhere you could picture yourself giving birth?

There’s something reassuring about seeing your baby without ever leaving the comfort of home 🤍
Our in-home ultrasound service means no rushing, no sterile rooms, and no pressure — just a calm, familiar space where questions are welcomed and time is honored.

It allows the assessment of baby’s growth, position, and wellbeing while keeping care personal, unrushed, and centered on you. Partners and siblings can be present, tears can flow freely, and the moment becomes an experience — not an appointment.

Gina Kirkpatrick (shown in video) is our ultrasonography expert! She joins our team with 39 years of experience. She was born and raised in the Shenandoah Valley, is a Nay Nay to 11 wonderful grandchildren and on any given fall weekend you can catch her cheering on the Hokies.

Her passion for work can been seen in every single scan she does. In home ultrasound is truly her calling! She takes so much pride in building relationships with her clients and creating a lasting impression.

🌿If you’re in the Shenandoah valley area (Charlottesville, Waynesboro, Staunton, Lexington, Harrisonburg) and you are considering midwifery care, we would love to work with you. Genesis midwifery care is a team of experts that are passionate, not only about birth, but also personalized care prenatally and postpartum.
