As a midwife serving the Madison, Wisconsin area, my days are filled with providing personalized, compassionate care for growing families. From prenatal visits to postpartum support and even fertility services like at-home Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), I’m honored to walk with families every step of the way. Whether you’re seeking care for a home birth or looking for inclusive fertility services as an LGBTQ+ or single-by-choice individual, this blog post will give you a glimpse into what it’s like to receive holistic midwifery care from Pax & Lux Midwifery.
One of the first steps in any pregnancy journey is the initial prenatal visit. This is where we get to know each other, discuss your hopes for your birth, and begin laying the foundation for a self-empowering experience. I spend time during these visits not just addressing physical health with lab work, maternal and fetal vitals -- but also answering questions and discussing any concerns. Building a trusting relationship is a cornerstone of midwifery care, and I make sure my clients feel fully informed and confident throughout their pregnancy.
As your midwife, I focus on providing personalized prenatal care that respects your preferences, trusts your ability to birth your baby, and supports your personalized goals for your birth.
Postpartum Support:
The postpartum period is often overlooked, but it’s one of the most important times for families. After birth, I continue to provide holistic postpartum midwifery care, ensuring that both the birthing parent and baby are thriving. From helping with breastfeeding to checking in on mental and emotional well-being, these final visits are all about supporting families as they settle into their new routines.
One of my favorite parts of postpartum care is watching my clients step into parenthood with confidence in the comfort of their own homes. As we wrap up our final visit, I always reflect on how much growth and transformation has taken place since our initial prenatal visit together.
At-Home Intrauterine Insemination (IUI):
For many LGBTQ+ families and single-by-choice individuals, starting a family can feel like an uphill journey. I offer at-home IUI to help people conceive in the comfort of their own home, surrounded by the same compassionate midwifery care that will continue throughout their pregnancy. This service allows for a more intimate, personalized approach to conception, which aligns with my philosophy of providing continuity in every aspect of their reproductive journey.
At-home IUI is especially meaningful to me because it allows me to serve diverse families and provide inclusive fertility services for those who may feel overlooked by mainstream options. Whether you identify as Queer, a single parent by choice, or simply looking for a more affirming way to start your family, at-home IUI can be a wonderful first step.
As a midwife, my mission is to support people through every stage of their reproductive journey, from conception to birth and beyond. Whether you’re seeking fertility services like at-home IUI or are ready to start your prenatal care, I am here to guide you with compassionate, personalized midwifery care.
