About Us
At Roots & Wings Midwifery, we provide midwifery care that centers relationship, continuity, and thoughtful clinical judgment. We support birth as a normal, physiological process while recognizing the value of appropriate medical care when it’s truly needed.
Our comprehensive prenatal, birth, and postpartum care blends personalized attention with evidence-informed support so you feel confident in making the choices that ar right for you and your baby throughout your journey.
While it’s difficult to fully capture the difference our care can make, here are some things our previous clients have said:
“They explained everything in a way that made sense.”
“It was a completely different experience.”
“I didn’t know what to expect, but I always felt supported.”
Even our clients who have had a baby or two say that our care feels different from what they've experienced before.
What Makes Us Different?
Our care begins by seeing pregnancy and birth as a normal, physiological process. With over 30 years of combined experience, we use our clinical skills and knowledge guide the conversations we have with clients so that they can make informed decisions about their care.
Roots and Wings Midwifery services are provided by Certified Professional Midwives who are licensed by the state of Tennessee.
We are an out-of-pocket midwifery practice, with care typically ranging from $6500 to $8000 depending on your birth setting. Many families use HSA/FSA funds for payment.
Most healthshare plans cover our care in full.
