Dear Kate, You are such a treasure...Even with unforeseen challenges...you stayed calm and supportive and expertly managed the situation so that I didn't have to carry any worry or fear, and could listen to my body and my baby. Your trust in us was contagious. I directly credit you with most of what made our birth experiences so beautiful! Thank you so, so very much. We will cherish you forever for your role in our beautiful home births!

What I Offer - Midwifery and More

Home Birth

Give birth in the comfort of your own home with experienced midwifery care throughout your entire pregnancy, birth, and 6 weeks postpartum.

Birth Center Birth

If home is not the option for you, then the La Farge Birth Center can be your home away from home as you welcome your new family member.

Bodywork - Breech Birth Options

Abdominal Therapy supports the physical changes experienced by women during pregnancy. With regular massage, the uterus stays well-positioned, receives good blood supply, and thus grows strong and resilient. Spinning Babies® techniques help to prepare the body for an easier birth as well as encourage baby into an optimal birth position, including helping to turn a breech baby to a head-down position.

Serving La Farge, Wisconsin and surrounding areas.

Back To Basics Midwifery serves La Farge, WI and surrounding Southwest Wisconsin areas including Vernon, Monroe, La Crosse, Richland, Sauk, and Crawford counties.
