Mother's Den was designed with a birthing mother's comfort in mind. Mother's Den is nestled on almost an acre of land at the base of Sunrise Mountain. The 3000 sqare foot house has a spa like atmosphere and is certain to make you feel welcome, safe and special.
Mother's Den has all of the amenities of home and so much more. Looking around you would never guess that all of the equipment and supplies ready for any situation are neatly tucked away in the rare event they are needed. Warm, cozy, natural colors cover the walls and floors. Soft furniture will invite you to gather and share birth stories and advice.
Help yourself to the growing library. Borrow books and lend books. The best way to decrease fear of the unknown is to become educated. Knowledge is power.
On the ground floor of Mother's Den you will experience completely private prenatal visits in the office and afterwards you can mingle with other mothers in the living areas or attend scheduled classes.
Upstairs in your private, spacious birth room you canchoose to labor in the birth tub. Or,if you prefer, walk around the house, rock in the rocking chair, use the birth ball, cook in the kitchen, take a long hot shower, nap with your significant other, or watch movies. It is expected and encouraged that you see and treat Mother's Den as your home. Our goal is to make you feel safe, nurtured and cared for - the kind of environment that allows you to labor and birth freely, without inhibition or fear.
Projects underway:
* Back yard: japanese garden, lap pool with wet deck, jacuzzi, outdoor kitchen, outdoor firepit.
* Fitness Center: weights, mats, treadmill and prenatal yoga space.

I am a traditional midwife..I like that title. My nitch is the Home Birth setting. I believe that I am supporting a tradition of women and their abilities to birth. Traditions that are empowering, centering and social. Traditions that are becoming lost. My children were both born at home. As they walk away to form their own lives, I'm reminded of the importance of choices and support.
