We Believe:
Why a Group Practice?
We believe the benefit of a team of minds and hearts attending to you provides you with the best quality of care. Each member of our team brings unique skills, viewpoints, and gifts to you. We also believe quality care can only be provided when our midwives are well rested, supported, and balanced and this can't be done if we do this work alone. We believe in sustainable midwifery and have created a model that promotes health, balance and support for our team so you are cared for by well rested and supported midwives with clear minds and lower stress levels. In a line of work that often causes quick burnout, exhaustion, and extreme stress, we feel this model brings you the best quality of care, because your midwives can be at their best and fully present with you. We meet regularly as a team to stay informed on all of our clients, and we work closely together to watch over you and your family throughout your care with us.
- We believe in you and your body. We listen intently to you, your body knows what to do. We believe in being client centered vs. provider centered.
- We believe in asking, not telling. Supporting and empowering through holistic care. We are for you taking hold of your power and following your heart and intuition.
- We believe your power is yours and should not be relinquished to anyone else. You deserve respect and the right to make your own decisions during pregnancy and birth. We do not support fear induced misinformation. Birth does not have to be scary.
- We believe birth is sacred. It's a becoming.

"Absolutely LOVED our experience with the Aurora Midwifery team. Having this be my first pregnancy, I was already nervous and wanted to make sure I was comfortable so when a friend mentioned the option of a home birth, I was all in! This being something that wasn't an option where we grew up was something that made me a little skeptical but we found very quickly we had no reason to be. Not only did they make us feel heard and comfortable with coming to them about any questions we had, but they also made us feel SO loved. The pregnancy was something I felt way more at ease with, I wasn't scared anymore worried and the actual birth... wow. The setting was so peaceful and the team felt like family there to take care of me without overwhelming me in any way. Even after birth, they will forever by friends of ours and we couldn't be more thankful. They left such an amazing impression on all our hearts. Would 100% do it all over again with this loving and caring team!" -Tatiana
"I cannot more highly recommend Alyssa and her team! We moved to Arizona two months before our third baby was due and we knew no one. We had experienced an unmedicated hospital birth, a birth at a birth center, and a home birth was something we had always thought would be great but we were still a little nervous. With Covid restrictions in place, no family near by, and a desire to have a birth team that knew us and supported, a homebirth came to make the most sense. After doing an online meet-and-greet we felt fully confident that Alyssa and her team were the perfect fit to support us as we welcomed our third little one. Every appointment, every question, referring us to local providers when needed - she was so gracious through it all! We also LOVED getting to work with Lisette and Mona - such an empowering team! My husband and I felt that we were in EXCELLENT hands through my entire labor, with immediate postpartum care, and through our postpartum visits. We’ll forever be grateful for the care we received through Aurora!" -Kacy
