Dear Community,
I want to share an important update with you.
After much reflection, I have decided to step away from the joint practice model and begin transitioning into my own independent midwifery practice. This decision has not been easy, but it is a necessary and meaningful shift to honor myself, my family, and the families I am so grateful to serve. It is time for me to slow down.
I will continue to serve as a primary midwife with Geneabirth through March 2026, and during this transition period I remain fully committed to the care of Geneabirth families. Even though we won’t be a joint practice anymore, I will also continue assisting Sarah at births, as well as supporting other midwives in our community, just as I have for many years.
I have been deeply honored to serve Geneabirth families for the better part of the last decade. I am overflowing with gratitude for my partnership with Sarah, for the trust of our clients, and for the countless births and relationships that have shaped me as a midwife and as a person. This work has been one of the greatest privileges of my life, next to being a mother, and my passion for serving families has never dimmed.
Looking ahead, I will be moving toward an intentional, smaller, and slower midwifery practice, primarily through word-of-mouth referrals. I plan to take 1–2 primary clients per month, allowing me to continue serving families wholeheartedly with presence and care while also spending more time at home with my own babies that are growing too too fast.
For families we have previously served together: we encourage you to reach out and request your team again with future pregnancies.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in me over the years.
Love, Hayley
