When you are planning your birth, one of the most important factors is your provider. The right person will work with you to realize your birth plan and ensure your experience is nothing less than profound. On the other hand, the wrong person can remove your voice from the equation, increasing your chance of a traumatic delivery. A midwife is able to provide unlimited attention to their clients so they can be sure you have the experience that is right for you. As a Missoula birth photographer, I have gotten the chance to be present at some beautiful deliveries. Here are the Missoula midwives I now always recommend.

Roots Birth is a pretty fantastic Missoula midwives center that is there for every aspect of your health. They offer women’s healthcare and fertility assistance in addition to their prenatal and birth care. They take a collaborative approach to their appointments to provide you with comprehensive assistance. All of their deliveries take place in Community Medical Center. With this space, you can still have a low-intervention delivery but retain access to top-of-the-line technology should you need it. The birthing center offers tubs that you can use to get through labor. If you would like a doula for added support, the midwives will help you find the one that matches your style.

Heart-Strong Midwifery is a smaller Missoula midwives practice offered by Ashley Hinton-Sharp. Ashley has been practicing since 2001 and offers a wide spectrum of help for expecting parents. While some of my clients have adored using her as their midwife, Ashley also offers her services as a doula within hospitals and birth centers. For her midwifery care, she can provide you with routine appointments as well as blood work and ultrasound referrals. She can assist with out-of-hospital deliveries and will work with you to find the payment plan that works for your budget. She even accepts some trades to be sure you can have her for your delivery!
