If you are considering a home birth, you should consider Twin Cities Midwifery! Midwife Kate goes above and beyond providing personalized care throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Appointments are never rushed and there is always time to discuss concerns or just ask questions. My baby was in a breech position at 37 weeks and I went in for an ECV to flip baby to the head down position. Kate met me at that appointment and stayed during ECV procedure and was a great advocate! During my birth at home, I felt empowered and my wants and needs were always met. My birth was incredible and it was so amazing to bring my baby earth side in the peaceful environment of my own home. I also got to sleep in my own bed once baby and I were cleared! It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend!

Very personalized care. I always felt heard when speaking with Kate.

Kate and Emily foster an inviting and sacred space. You get to show up authentically, with your strengths and your growth areas, and know that you will be seen and heard and nurtured. It’s a lovely little community of parents, cheering one another on and holding space for one another as we all grow.

If you’re looking for a supportive community of like-minded parents to grow alongside, to challenge you and support you and laugh with you, then you’ve come to the right place.

If you feel like you want more out of your parenting journey—more connection, more love, more understanding, more patience—this group has been an invaluable resource to me and my family. It has made more of a difference than anything else I’ve ever tried, many times over. Kate and Emily are so kind and intelligent, and are the perfect people to lead this group.

Kate has supported me for two births now and she is wonderful. The entire team a TCM is so supportive and provides personalized care. I could not recommend them enough!

I only have positive words to share about the Twin Cities Midwifery team! Midwives are exceptional, but if I could describe the TCM team in one word, it would be organized. They are such a cohesive team (including their office manager, Emily), and any matter you bring up will be addressed quickly and efficiently. I would never have expected such a well-organized journey with them and postpartum onwards. They take care of everything and provide you with resources for every matter you might request!

Kate is a wonderful midwife! I formed a great connection over my time with them. I appreciated the personalized care and never felt like my questions or concerns were ever overlooked. As a first-time mom, the whole process can be very intimidating, but TCM made me feel comfortable every step of the way.

I successfully had a beautiful homebirth with TCM. My experience with Kate, and all who work with her, has been absolutely amazing. The level of care my family and I received is incomparable to anything I’ve ever received with past healthcare encounters. Every appointment was an hour plus of close attention to my well-being as a whole. She paid close attention to my labs. If anything was off, we made a plan of care together. She provided me with all my options. I felt fully in control with every decision that was made. Our conversations were always informative and supporting. I felt I gained a friend through our months together. Her care is what I hope for with every expectant parent. My birth experience (after two hospital births with epidurals) was by far my favorite and best birth experience. I would highly recommend TCM to anyone looking for a personalized, caring experience as they welcome a baby into their family.

Where do I begin? I am so grateful to have found the Twin Cities Midwifery team. Sarah supported me throughout my entire pregnancy, giving me choice and autonomy along the way. I was given options at each fork in the road, truly making this experience my own. I felt valued, listened to, respected. In the 11th hour, I had to deliver my baby in a hospital setting instead of my living room as planned, but they continued to support my experience there! This is a team of powerhouse ladies and I’m changed for having met them. Thank you TCM!

Excellent midwifery care! We loved our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience with TCM. Everyone on the team was so informative, caring, and wonderful to work with. Would absolutely recommend!

Abbey C.

We used TCM for our first baby! The level of care we received the entire duration was unmatched. We felt so supported and Kate guided us through the entire process with so much love. Our birth was empowering and the best day of our lives. We can’t wait to have Kate with us again!

I can’t express how grateful my husband and I are for the care we received from Sarah. She is so skilled in what she does and my home birth experience wouldn’t have been the same without them. Attending my labor and birth for over 14 hours with so much grace and compassion, ending in a beautiful new baby girl. Highly recommend TCM.

Sarah M.

After an epidural hospital birth with our first, we wanted to find a different experience. We were lucky to find Sarah at TCM. She always asked great questions and made us feel valued in the special time that pregnancy is. We couldn’t believe we were planning a home birth, especially unmedicated since I had doubt that I was strong enough. Sarah believed and tried to prepare us as best she could.

Labor started in the middle of a snowstorm so Sarah and team made their way to our house. Three hours later our sweet boy was in our arms. We felt support and care leading up to, during, and after. We are thankful that we had an all star birth team, including Sarah.

Are you tired of being treated like just a number? Are you sick of dealing with a medical system that practices unnecessary interventions during pregnancy and birth? Or are you tired of being told what’s best for you and want to make your own informed decisions about how to care for your pregnant body and give birth to your child? Do you want to experience the most empowering moment a woman can have without being poked and prodded by a bunch of strangers? All of these were questions I began asking myself halfway through my pregnancy when I was fed up with the way our medical system deals with pregnancy and birth. Even though I was seeing a group of CNMs at a pretty open-minded clinic, I just kept feeling like I was being forced into procedures that seemed unnecessary without having any meaningful conversations with my providers. I stumbled upon TCM when looking for a birth center and after reading their care philosophy and learning about the services they provide, I felt like something opened up in my heart and a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders. TCM is everything they advertise and more. I truly felt that I had a friend/family member with me through my pregnancy, not just a caregiver. I have never felt so much in control of my own health while also feeling so incredibly supported and cared for. TCM made me feel both empowered and safe to be completely vulnerable. And it’s not just the midwives who provide this level of care. Emily, their office manager, is incredibly kind, prompt and knowledgeable! I credit part of our family’s decision to join TCM to her communication with me in the beginning! In short, to give birth in the comfort of your own home is a blessing that cannot be described with words alone. I was fortunate enough to have both Kate and Sarah at my birth and it was the most incredible experience of my life. My family and I will cherish this pregnancy and birth experience forever. Every woman is in charge of what kind of care they want during their pregnancy and birth, but having had both a hospital and home birth now, I can tell you I would choose the home birth experience with TCM over any other option in a heartbeat. Thank you Kate and Sarah! You gave me the greatest gift a mother could ask for!

So many valuable ideas gleaned from the group. I am extra thankful for the common thread of “I trust that growth unfolds in it’s own time”. I want to be able to implement every good idea and every great intention every day every week all the time (!!!) and just extra thankful for the continued reminder to trust the process of growth.

Kate and Emily foster an inviting and sacred space. You get to show up authentically, with your strengths and your growth areas, and know that you will be seen and heard and nurtured. It’s a lovely little community of parents, cheering one another on and holding space for one another as we all grow.

It’s helped me acknowledge my shortcomings as potential growth opportunities, not unchanging character flaws. It’s helped me see my children as human beings with all the emotions but none of the resources to manage them. Seeing my kids begin to take deep breaths in the middle of the store, begin to show gratitude and look for the “glimmers” in the day, and see themselves in a positive light has been invaluable. 

If you feel like you want more out of your parenting journey- more connection, more love, more understanding, more patience- this group has been an invaluable resource to me and my family. I wasn’t sure what to expect going in- I thought “I’ve tried apps, books, therapy, and still this is about as good as I can get.” and it was unsatisfying for me! I hoped the group wouldn’t be a waste of time, but went for it anyway and it has been made more of a difference than anything else I have ever tried, many times over. Kate and Emily are so kind and intelligent, and are the perfect people to lead this group. I’ve never felt judged, inadequate, or “less than” for being arguably farther behind than my peers. I was shocked at the language and behaviors of my peers- I’d never been around such emotionally intelligent people who genuinely like their families and seek depth with their children in a way the families up here are. Despite not always having the right words, the right validation or responses, no one has ever made me feel behind, it’s just me. I have such a love for everyone in this group that I was not expecting to feel going into this!

I feel more present and more mindful/intentional about my parenting choices and my day to day interactions. If you’re looking for a supportive community of likeminded parents to grow alongside, to challenge you and support you and laugh with you, then you’ve come to the right place ❤️ Thank you both so much- I know how much of yourselves you’ve poured into creating this group and it has been such a gift to all of us ❤️

I can’t say enough good things about Kate and Twin Cities Midwifery. I honestly don’t know what I would’ve done without Kate during and after my pregnancy. Her knowledge and confidence, as well as her bedside manner, is beyond exceptional. Her genuine care is thorough and thoughtful. At the most vulnerable time in my life, she was there every step of the way. I couldn’t recommend Twin Cities Midwifery enough!

Justine T.

Amazing midwives, I always enjoy working with them! ❤️❤️

Erin U.

We hired TCM for the birth of our 3rd baby, and our first home birth! Kate and her team were excellent communicators and very organized from the start. The care I received felt personalized, and my family had a great opportunity to build a relationship with Kate before delivery. My son’s birth was everything I hoped for – I felt incredibly well-informed and supported the entire time. If you are looking for a provider that truly practices the midwifery model of care, TCM is a wonderful option.

Laurel T.

Kate was the most wonderful resource I could have asked for during my first pregnancy. I looked forward to each visit with her, knowing I’d walk away from it feeling more excited, empowered, and educated. She does a wonderful job of balancing evidence-based options with empathy and flexibility. Kate’s presence and expertise during a difficult labor kept us safe and energized. She was the leader of our team, helping us navigate childbirth while working beautifully with our doulas and family. We feel so fortunate to have found Kate and Twin Cities Midwifery and will never forget her role in bringing our child into this world!

I’m so grateful for the care I received. The midwives really take the time to get to know you and consider all your needs. Their compassion, understanding and knowledgeable care helped me to have the birth I had hoped for. I can’t recommend them enough!

Tess D.

Kate is amazing! Open, kind, caring, and very knowledgeable. We think very highly of her and cherish our homebirth experience which she helped make possible. She gave us confidence and support through the entire process. Hope to stay with TCM for future pregnancies/deliveries ❤ If you’re thinking of calling her do it!!

My wife and I are eternally grateful to Twin Cities Midwifery for helping to make our first birth an incredible experience. The quality of care and emotional support we received from Kate, Erin, and Elizabeth (in pregnancy, labor, and postpartum) is something I didn’t realize how much I’d appreciate until we received it.

If we’re fortunate enough to have another child someday, Twin Cities Midwifery will be one of our first calls. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Michael O.

Kate is amazing. We had our son at home 13 months ago, and she made it so easy. I was dubious of the whole process, honestly. But she quickly convinced me with her professionalism and warm bedside manner. I could not recommend her more highly.

Alex L.

Kate and her team were kind, loving, and professional. I can’t say enough good things about the experience that we had with them!
