Midwifery Care
Out-of-hospital midwives are experts in uninterrupted physiological birth.
Pax & Lux Midwifery is founded on the principles of inclusivity, autonomy, and holistic care, ensuring that every individual receives the support and attention they deserve throughout their pregnancy, birth, and beyond. I believe that every birthing journey is unique and deserves to be honored with the utmost respect and individualized attention. As your midwife, I am here to listen to your needs, answer your questions, and provide the highest quality care tailored to your personal preferences and circumstances.
My goal is not just to provide a safe and positive experience for the people I work with, but also for people to be heard in the kind of care that resonates with their culture and personhood.

This can be a great option for someone who wants to have a hospital birth, but desires the holistic experience of out-of-hospital midwifery care. Connie provides the standard schedule of prenatal care, including standard labs and ultrasound orders, but with longer appointments and truly individualized care.
We complete and compile your prenatal record, call the hospital of your choice when you’re in labor, fax over all of your records, and resume your postpartum care once you’re discharged. Connie does not have hospital privileges, but will work collaboratively with your hospital based care provider who does. Once you are back home, Connie jumps back in to provide postpartum midwifery care, newborn care, and lactation support.
This includes all prenatal appointments in my home office in Monona, starting at any point in pregnancy. Followed by 1 in home postpartum visit and 1 in-office postpartum visit. Additionally, you would be able to reach me via email and phone in between appointments.

The childbearing year is one of the most significant physical and emotional transformations of your life. Here, you can plan towards reclaiming your time to heal and bond after birthing.
I think of postpartum midwifery care as what is similar to a European model of postpartum care, which provides care through the first 6 weeks postpartum.
“But somehow we've forgotten the time-honored wisdom that this special cocoon of care should extend to the mother (postpartum parent) as well."
-- Heng Ou, author of "The First Forty Days"
