We discuss home birthing with Sarah Simmons of New Life Midwifery Services, a primary midwife since 1995. She has attended 1200 home births since 1990, drawing passion about letting births unfold in an instinctual way, and being a “lifeguard” to keep it safe. She believes a positive birth experience helps women prepare for motherhood and strengthens family bonds. She partners with families to provide evidence-based, respectful care, and is a low volume practice with one provider and one assistant, for maximum continuity and personalized care.
