We are a small, rooted team offering homebirth midwifery care with deep presence and powerful trust. Randi has spent over two decades walking beside birthing families — as midwife, teacher, and guide. Amie, once her student, now brings her own steady hands to the births she attends. Together, we are joined by a hand-selected circle of doulas who share our values and hold space with reverence.
This is more than midwifery — it's mentorship, remembrance, and re-rooting. Whether you're a mother stepping into your own rite of passage or a birthworker called to serve behind the veil, our offerings are here to nourish, teach, and walk with you.
Today, our deepest work lives in the virtual space — where real education, support, and connection can reach beyond borders. It’s how we make this sacred work sustainable. It’s how we meet you, wherever you are, with truth, tools, and community.
Two Sacred Journeys - One Rooted Path
Whether you’re crossing the threshold into motherhood or walking behind the veil to serve others, you belong here.
Rooted Midwifery Services
Whole-person care for birthing families — grounded in trust, tradition, and deep presence.
Insurance Information
First things first - Step One is always a Verification of Benefits commonly called a VOB - This is process in which you give our billing team your insurance information and allow them to call to speak in insurance/payor language to your insurance/payor and get an idea of what your coverage looks like for our services - this is often very different information than families get when they call themselves. The VOB will tell us what insurance will pay for their portion of our services and what you will be expected to pay for your portion.
