We cherish building connections with you. Witnessing our clients transition into midwifery care and seeing them flourish with newfound options is truly heartwarming. We enjoy engaging with your children, educating them about their soon-to-arrive sibling and the miraculous journey of pregnancy.

Learning about each step of your pregnancy doesn't have to be overwhelming. At each appointment, we take the time to explain (and measure) your progress, what to expect, how to take care of your health, and how to prepare for the next stage, especially as you approach labor, birth, and the postpartum period. Each appointment is equally important for us to get to know you and tailor your care to your specific needs and lifestyle!

The driving forces behind Celebrate Birth: Where everyone is cherished and welcome! 🥰

22/05/2024

Kat, a Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) and Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), has always dreamed of helping women through pregnancy and birth. She started her journey to midwifery after two contrasting birth experiences: one in a hospital, which was less than ideal, and the other in a birth center, which was wonderful. Following the birth of her second child, she pursued nursing school before embarking on her midwifery journey. Despite working in a hospital setting initially, her ultimate goal was to support mothers in out-of-hospital births, a calling close to her heart.

Happy faces is what we love to see! We love getting to know each and every one of you and your families 💕

🎉Please join us in congratulating our Meredith on earning her midwifery license! 👏👏👏 We are so proud of you, Meredith, and so grateful to have you on our team! 🥰

If you haven't had the pleasure to meet her yet, allow us to introduce you through her bio...

"Hello! I am Meredith Fisher. I have been with Celebrate Birth since November of 2015. I was originally hired on as a massage therapist, certified in prenatal massage, but within 2 months I began working as one of their birth assistants as well. While on this wonderful journey, I have discovered just how much I love to serve and encourage mothers and their growing families. Also, the desire to become a midwife was rekindled inside me, an interest that had begun to grow in my heart while I was pregnant with our youngest child over 20 years ago. After graduating from CommonSense Childbirth School of Midwifery in 2024, I am ready to embark upon the next leg of my journey as a midwife. I am blessed to have the opportunity to serve our local families and invest in our community in this way. Thank you for letting me be a small part of this special time in your life!" ❤

Our Services

Prenatal, Birth, and Postpartum Care

Celebrate Birth offers comprehensive prenatal care through delivery and the postpartum period. Our practice offers clients the option to deliver at the hospital, at our birth center, or in their own home. Births taking place in the birth center or home include the option to labor and deliver in the water. Education and lactation services are included, as is comprehensive postpartum care in the 6 weeks following the birth. All routine labs are done at our clinic office, though ultrasounds are performed at a separate facility nearby.

Prenatal Care Only for Hospital Birth

For low-risk clients interested in prenatal midwifery care prior to their planned hospital delivery, we offer services to meet their needs. The Prenatal Care Only package includes all prenatal appointments, regular labs, ultrasound referrals and education classes needed during pregnancy. These clients will pre-register at the hospital of their choosing and deliver with the obstetrician or midwife who is on call there. Afterwards, our midwives will continue to care for them during their postpartum period, seeing them at 2 weeks and again at 6 weeks after the birth, providing lactation support in the early weeks and a Pap test if requested at the final appointment.
