Who We Are

Birth Wellness midwifery offers prenatal, birth, and postpartum care for families seeking out-of-hospital services in Chattanooga and the surrounding area.

Birth Wellness provides comprehensive midwifery care in a home-like setting or in the comfort of your own home. We offer personalized care tailored to each family’s unique needs and believe that families deserve holistic, client-centered birth choices and supportive care. 

Our services include nutritional counseling, prenatal labs and diagnostic testing, and both private and group prenatal care. We offer birth options in your home, in Tennessee, or at the Belvoir home, with support for water birth and VBAC. You’ll also receive our Your Birth Journey prenatal guidebook to support you along the way. We collaborate with physicians when needed and ensure a smooth transfer of care if risk factors arise. As part of our midwifery care, all clients have access to a licensed Certified Professional Midwife, 24/7 availability for your birth, and the support of a midwife assistant and/or apprentice during delivery, with continuous presence throughout active labor.
