The Midwifery Model of Care: A Beautiful Balance of Science & Intuition
When you walk into a birth center like Colorado Birth & Wellness, something immediately feels different.
Maybe it’s the soft lighting or the way your midwife greets you by name, not a clipboard.
Midwives have been supporting families through birth for thousands of years. In our current times, midwives combine evidence-based medicine with holistic wisdom. This makes birth more than a medical event, but a powerful rite of passage.
Science Meets Personalization
Midwives are highly trained medical professionals who bring years of clinical experience and up-to-date research to every appointment and every birth.
They monitor vitals, track baby’s development, and assess for risks just like traditional providers, but with more time, presence, and connection.
You won’t be rushed through a 10-minute visit. You’ll be asked how you’re really feeling. You'll be invited to be an active participant in every decision.
Midwifery care includes:
✔ Continuous Risk Assessment
✔ Natural Birth Expertise (and knowing when intervention is needed)
✔ Whole-Person Health Guidance from nutrition to mental wellness
✔ Thorough Postpartum Support for both parents and baby
Intuition Is Valued as Much as Information
Midwives are trained to recognize the science and trust the wisdom of the birthing body.
They know when to step in, and when to hold space.
They use touch, movement, breath, and position changes to help labor progress naturally.
They hold space for your voice, your choices, and your pace
The Best of Both Worlds
The beauty of midwifery care is that it doesn’t make you choose between natural and clinical, instinct and evidence, heart and head.
You get it all:
✔ Medical excellence
✔ Human connection
✔ A safe, supported space to birth in your power
At Colorado Birth & Wellness, that’s what we’re here for. To bring the best of both worlds into every birth we attend.
