Meet Sarah! ❤️

Sarah brings laughter, compassion, and a heart to serve wherever she’s needed. She has supported countless families as a birth assistant, and her years of experience as a midwife bring such a unique perspective to the birth team. ✨

She and our midwives have attended so many births together that she often seems to know exactly what’s needed before anyone even has to ask! Her ability to anticipate, stay calm, and step in wherever she’s needed makes her an incredibly intuitive and valuable part of our team.

But Sarah’s care extends far beyond the birth room. She cares deeply for our families, loves our team well, and brings a steady presence that helps hold WBA together.

We’re so thankful for Sarah and the many ways she serves—often quietly behind the scenes, but always making a difference. 🤍

We’re blessed to have you, Sarah! 💖

Birth Story Time

Rebekah & Daniel

Rebekah is a healthy, athletic, crunchy young woman who knew from the beginning that she wanted a natural, low-intervention birth.

When she first came to WBA, she expressed her desires, asked thoughtful questions, and began preparing for the birth she was hoping for.

Pregnancy wasn’t always easy for her. She struggled with discomforts that made it difficult to do some of the things she loved, like eating well and exercising as much as she wanted. For an athletic young woman who was used to pushing herself, this was an adjustment! But along the way, with the encouragement of her fiancé, Daniel, she learned to do her best while also giving herself grace when things didn’t go quite as expected.

Daniel was an integral part of the whole process. He faithfully sifted through emails, helped Rebekah navigate the information, and worked alongside her to understand all the details that go into planning an out-of-hospital birth. He was invested from the beginning!

When labor finally rolled around, Rebekah was experiencing quite a bit of back pain. By the time she arrived at the birth suite around midday, it was clear we had some work to do to help this little one find a better position for birth.

She was 4 cm dilated, and we jumped right into side-lying releases and Spinning Babies positioning techniques to encourage her posterior (OP) baby to rotate into a more favorable anterior position.

Thankfully, just a few hours later, she was 6 cm, moving into active labor, and baby was settling into a much better position!

With Daniel and her mom faithfully by her side, Rebekah worked her way through labor hour by hour, and sometimes minute by minute.

One thing about athletes is that they often have a strong internal gauge for digging deep and pushing through hard things. Rebekah certainly had that determination! But this birth asked a lot of her. It wasn’t easy, and there were moments when she had to reach deep for the strength to keep going.

Our team did everything we could to come alongside her, encourage her, and support her through each stage of labor.

And finally, at 9:47 on July 31, her beautiful baby girl made her appearance! 💕

It wasn’t an easy birth, but it was doable. God gave Rebekah the strength she needed, and she was surrounded by people who loved her and stood by her every step of the way.

And Daniel? Well, I think he discovered that having a baby is actually a LOT of physical work for dads, too! 😂 He was right there in the thick of it, sometimes literally sweating his way through the labor alongside her! What a gift to see a man so invested in caring for the woman he loves.

The immediate postpartum period brought some additional challenges, and healing required patience and time. Once again, Rebekah had to learn to slow down, give herself grace, and allow her body the time it needed to recover. Little by little, she began feeling stronger and more like herself.

Today, they are just the cutest little family! Their sweet baby girl is doing well, and Rebekah and Daniel are learning together what it means to trust God more and more through every season.

Birth has a way of stretching us, humbling us, and reminding us that we are stronger than we sometimes realize, especially when we lean on the Lord and the people He places around us.

What a privilege it was to walk alongside this sweet family and witness their strength, love, and perseverance as they welcomed their precious daughter into the world. ❤️

We celebrated 11 beautiful new beginnings this month while also holding space for a family experiencing the deep ache of loss. Every baby, every family, and every birth story matters to us.

Happy Midwifery Week to our incredible WBA midwives! 🤍

Midwifery is so much more than catching babies.

It’s answering the late-night questions.
It’s sitting beside a mama when things don’t go as planned.
It’s celebrating the victories and carrying families through the hard moments.
It’s listening, educating, encouraging, advocating, and sometimes simply holding a hand.
It’s praying with families, believing in them, and showing up again and again.

Our midwives pour so much of themselves into the families they serve, but what makes WBA especially meaningful is the way they pour into each other, too.

We are incredibly grateful for the years of experience, wisdom, compassion, humor, strength, and faith each of our midwives brings to this team. We know this work is a calling, and we don't take lightly the privilege of being invited into some of the most sacred moments in a family's life.

To every midwife who has helped shape WBA—thank you for the countless hours, the long births, the prayers, the laughter, the hard days, and all the beautiful moments in between.

We are so thankful for the women you are and the way you serve. ✨️

Happy Midwifery Week! We love our WBA midwives! ❤️

Postpartum care isn't just about checking how your body is healing.

It's also about checking on your heart and your mind. 🤍

The days and weeks after birth can bring so many emotions. There is joy and gratitude, but there can also be exhaustion, uncertainty, overwhelm, and moments when you wonder if you're doing this right.

At WBA, we believe mom deserves care, too. During postpartum visits, we take time to check in on how you're feeling physically, emotionally, and mentally—not just how baby is doing.

We want you to feel comfortable sharing the hard things, asking questions, and letting us know when something doesn't feel right. Sometimes you need encouragement, sometimes you need practical support, and sometimes you may need additional care. Whatever the need, you don't have to navigate this season alone.

We believe caring for baby starts with caring for mom, too. And it is our privilege to walk alongside you through this beautiful, exhausting, and life-changing season. 🤍

Mama, how are you really doing?

If you're looking for postpartum care that supports the whole woman, we'd love to connect with you. Schedule a complimentary Meet & Greet to learn more about WBA.

Birth is one of the most significant moments in a woman's life, and while the event itself is important, you are at the center of it all.

At WBA, we believe your experience matters. How you feel emotionally, what you understand throughout the process, how you're processing each decision, your physical wellbeing, and your baby's health are all deeply important to us.

Our goal is to help you navigate a path that values the whole experience—one that protects the health of both mom and baby while also honoring your emotional wellbeing, your preferences, and your birth story.

You'll often hear the phrase, "Healthy mom, healthy baby," and we absolutely believe that's important. But we also believe there's so much more to consider. Feeling heard. Feeling respected. Feeling informed. Feeling supported. Feeling safe.

Whether your baby is born at home or in the hospital, we want you to look back on your birth knowing you were cared for with compassion, your voice mattered, and you were never alone.

Every birth deserves that kind of support. 🤍

If you're exploring your birth options, we'd love to meet you. Schedule a complimentary Meet & Greet and learn how we can support you wherever your birth journey leads.

I spend a lot of time telling birth stories.

Stories of becoming. Of pain and strength. Of the moment life changes and something new begins.
Babies birth and Moms being born

This time, I’m sharing a different kind of birth story — my own rebirth story.

I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Rebekah Melton for her podcast, She’s Got a Story, and sharing some of the harder pieces of my life, the joy that has come alongside them, and the faith that has carried me through.

This one feels vulnerable to share but this is how I got here…meaning a faith filled human. 💖

There have been chapters I never would have chosen, seasons where I couldn’t see what God was doing, and moments when faith looked less like certainty and more like simply taking the next step.

But there has also been healing. Joy. Growth. Grace.

And through it all, God has been faithful.

My story isn’t over.

In many ways, this conversation is about being made new — not erasing what came before, but allowing God to redeem it, reshape it, and bring new life from places that once felt broken.

I’m so grateful to Rebekah for creating a space where stories can be told honestly and held with care.

I hope you’ll listen to this episode of She’s Got a Story. And maybe, somewhere in my rebirth story, you’ll be reminded that God is still writing yours too. 🤍

What happens when the life you never expected becomes the very plac...

Birth Story Time

Cassi & Justin

We would love for every mama to have a birth this simple, short, and sweet.

From the time we met Cassi, it was obvious that she was just the right fit for our practice.

As a second-time mama, she had already experienced an out-of-hospital birth. She shared that our practice and philosophy felt very similar to the care she had received from her previous midwives. Needless to say, Cassi knew the kind of birth she wanted and had confidence in the decisions she was making for herself and her family.

When labor was in full swing, we met Cassi and Justin at the Birth Suite. Sure enough, she was already in advanced labor.

Just 45 minutes later, their sweet baby was in mama’s arms.

We enjoyed such a peaceful and special immediate postpartum time together, caring for mom and baby while listening to Justin share his testimony. It was a beautiful reminder of the faith at the center of this family.

We are so thankful for Cassi and Justin and for the way they are trusting God with their family
We are rejoicing with you and celebrating your new arrival !

Delighted to serve,
Midwife Deidre and
Midwifery Birth Associate Wendy
