It begins with you...​

Your baby's birth is a very special time, hopefully one full of peace, wonder, and joy.  It can also seem like a maze with so many new choices in front of you.  As a home birth midwife I offer skilled, informed, loving and individualized care to all of the families I am honored to walk the journey with.  My care is based on the fact that pregnancy and birth are a natural process for which our bodies were designed but I respect the birthing process and the twists and turns it may take along the way and I am grateful to have a higher level of care available through backup obstetricians in the area when needed.

​​My love for birth began with my first pregnancy in 1994. I adored my midwife and the care I received. I loved being pregnant and experiencing all the changes my body was going through - even if they weren't always pleasant. I had an amazing first labor and birth experience with my body leading the way and the process unfolding naturally. I was not prepared for a relatively quick non-intervention birth since everyone told me the scary stories of how first labors are always long and miserable. This sparked my midwifery journey.  I knew after my first daughters birth I would be a midwife "when I grew up." I didn't know how or when I would get there. I was caring for show horses at the time, and although I loved every minute of the craziness, I knew I would want something different when my kids were grown. 

After deciding to home school and having 2 more daughters with very different birth experiences (much more medicalized) I decided it was time to think about what "I" wanted to do.  That's when I began attending births as a doula and I knew that my next path was beginning. My 4th baby was born at home with a local CPM, and shortly after I enrolled in the Mass Midwives Basic Midwifery Course. 

It took my 6 long years but I finished my apprenticeship and in 2016 sat for and passed the NARM CPM (Certified Professional Midwife) exam.  I am currently enrolled in Aviva Romm's Herbal Medicine for Women class and I now own my own horse farm and enjoy carrying for 3 horses as well as serving all types of families in MA.  

What clients are saying...
​- Padma Ali
​"Kim is an amazing midwife. I don't have enough words to describe her competence married with compassion and knowledge in helping our family birth our second baby. Even though I had a home birth with my first as well ( with a different practice) our experience with Kim was exactly what I needed this time. She provided excellent prenatal care, the birthing was phenomenal - it was a tough hard labor, but Kim provided us space and direction during the whole process, and the postpartum care has been amazing. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone considering her services. If you need more details of my experience, please have Kim give you my contact information."

​"​As a first time mom, I didn't know quite what to expect during my experience of pregnancy and birth. No matter how many books I read or the amount of advice I asked for, I knew it would be a unique journey for me and my baby. And I'm so glad Kim was the one to go through it with me. She made me feel like a partner, not a patient, answered all my questions and concerns, and helped me to stay informed about a variety of topics, which I felt was very important for me and my husband. Through developing a relationship with her and witnessing her training in action, I felt very safe in the great knowledge and wisdom she has. Thankfully, my pregnancy and labor went smoothly and Kim made sure my baby and I were doing well before she left. Her post-natal visits were just as important to me as the pre-natal because even though her main job was done, she displayed the same high level of care and attention that made me feel I was succeeding in my new role as a mother. Because of her, I am a huge proponent of using midwives and having a home birth. My experience was very peaceful and I am so grateful to Kim for that. I was sad to see her go on my last post-natal visit, but I plan to have her with me for however many babies I have in the future."​

"Kim is unbelievable! She was a beacon of calm, positive energy in the midst of a very emotional pregnancy. She was very knowledgeable in her field and her belief that pregnancy is a normal part of life instead of a catastrophe waiting to happen was so refreshing. In addition to having her as my midwife, I gained a friend in her."
