Vivante Midwifery & Women's Health

Vivante Midwifery & Women's Health is a unique combination of Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) and Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) that offer home birth and GYN services in the Portland, Oregon metro area. Our services include prenatal care, attendance during labor and birth (including water birth) at home, postpartum care of mother and baby for up to six weeks after the birth, as well as a wide range of well-woman gynecological care.  We are covered by most insurance providers.  We're also pleased to offer homeopathy consultations, placenta encapsulation and CranioSacral therapy to babies born to our clients, as well as those outside of our midwifery practice.

Our Philosophy

Birth is a normal event in the life of a woman and does not need to be over-medicalized.

Low-risk women with healthy pregnancies can have a natural childbirth in their own home under the care of qualified midwives, with no more risk than if they were in a hospital, and with fewer interventions.

The mother shares responsibility in her own health care decisions and those of her baby.

Welcome to the World!
