Midwifery Services
Midwifery homebirth services are provided by Tori, a Certified Professional Midwife (CPM). Tori is nationally certified as a midwife through the North American Registry of Midwives. Tori maintains her CPM certification with NARM, which has a mandatory renewal policy every three years. Tori is state licensed to practice midwifery by the Division of Health Related Boards in Tennessee.  Her license number is CPM-TN #41.  Tori must renew her TN license every two years.  Tori attends births in TN only.  I provide the following birthing options to low risk women:
  • HOME BIRTH
  • WATER BIRTH
  • WATER LABOR
  • BED BIRTH
  • FLOOR BIRTH (SQUATTING, STANDING, BIRTH ROPE)
  • LABOR SUPPORT

Midwifery Philosophy

I offer compassionate midwifery care for low risk women. My approach to pregnancy is holistic, focusing on education, informed consent, nutrition, and optimal fetal positioning. My philosophy is: good nutrition leads to a healthy pregnancy which gives the body the strong foundation to meet the physical demands required during labor. I believe a pregnant woman must be committed to excellent nutrition and good health if her goal is a non-interventive birth.  My approach to labor is one of patience and encouragement. I give guidance as to which positions will facilitate the birth process. I monitor the baby's heart rate and provide essential care without disturbing the birth process.  Women who birth with me have privacy and a peaceful environment.  I strive to provide a serene, calm, quiet environment so that the laboring woman can birth from within. 
 
While you labor, let this comfort you and give you inner strength:  *The day you give birth 300,000 women around the world will be giving birth too!!!*
