Vivante Midwifery offers natural childbirth and home birth services in the Portland, Oregon metro area. Our services include prenatal care, attendance during labor and birth (including water birth), postpartum care for mother and baby for up to six weeks after the birth, and well-woman gynecological care.  We're also pleased to offer CranioSacral Therapy to babies born to our clients, as well as those outside of our midwifery practice.

Our midwife team is a unique combination of Certified Nurse Midwives (CNM) and a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM), and we are covered by most insurance providers.

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.

Brand new addition to the family!
