Midwife

Midwife means ‘with woman’ and both Peggy and Stefanie are certified midwives who are ‘with women’ throughout their many life cycles. This includes the adolescent having her first exam, contraceptive counseling, family planning, care during labor and birth and the care of women in midlife and through menopause.

Establishing a relationship based on trust, confidentiality and knowledge, Peggy and Stefanie strive to empower women to make healthcare decisions based on their individual needs and beliefs.
