It Takes a Village
At Modern Village Midwifery we believe we can offer so much more collectively than separately and that our strength lies in our community and collaboration. We strive to merge the benefits of traditional private practice, like continuity of care and low client volume, with small group practice to ensure the highest standards in safety and sustainability.
We strongly believe that where, how, and with whom a birth takes place is incredibly significant. The way a woman and her family are treated throughout the course of the childbearing year matters and we do all that we can to honor this influential time and to provide a peaceful, respectful, safe birth experience for all of our clients.
How Our Team Approach Benefits You
Provides you the opportunity to build relationships with all of your midwives throughout the course of your prenatal care with the certainty that two of them will attend your birth.
You benefit from the unique and individual skill sets of each midwife in the practice and our combined over 40 years of experience in birth work. Our clients have the most experienced homebirth team in Tulsa!
Allows each of our midwives to take regular time off call to ensure that everyone caring for you is well-rested and able to be fully present for your experience.
Our rotating call system means that the same two midwives will be with you for the entire course of your labor and birth.
Safety is one of our greatest priories and we feel that we can best serve your family through a two midwife team at each birth whenever possible. This is the standard in many other countries where homebirth is widely practiced, and allows us to ensure there is a qualified attendant for both you and your baby.
Women have been giving birth since the beginning of time, and midwives have been supporting women through pregnancy, birth, postpartum and beyond for nearly as long.
Traditionally, each village or community had a midwife who would serve the families, not only as a birth attendant, but as a vital resource for building and maintaining healthy families in the community.
Today, we live in a global society. The world is our village, and we are your village midwives. Modern Village Midwifery seeks to be that vital resource, not only providing a full scope of homebirth midwifery services, but also being an educational resource for nutrition, supplements, well woman care, family planning, natural remedies and over-all wellness. We strive to serve as broad and diverse of a community as possible.

I have had 3 births, but my first unmedicated home birth was with Modern Village a few months ago, and what a difference in the quality of care it has been. I loved that they are knowledgeable about more than just basic pregnancy needs, but also nutrition and beyond. They ask about emotional health, nutrition, and activity, but when I wasn’t doing my best, they never made me feel bad about it but encouraged me and gave advice. There is plenty of time built into appointments to answer any questions. I like that both Elizabeth and Sarah were there at my birth. Having more than one just gives me a little extra peace of mind.
