Description

Specialties

Welcome to Cedar Midwifery! We are an out-​of-​hospital midwifery practice offering home and birthcenter births, water birth and VBAC. We provide well woman care, pregnancy, birth and postpartum care for mom and baby, including breastfeeding support.

We believe that birth is a natural process, and we trust the wisdom of women’s bodies to birth their babies in their own unique ways. Our goal is to provide comprehensive and compassionate midwifery care. The Cedar midwives provide high quality evidence based care throughout the childbearing year. We hope to facilitate a birth experience that is fulfilling, empowering, and meets the unique needs of individual women and families.

We offer a free one hour consultation and look forward to meeting you!

History

Established in 2013.

Megan and Susannah hung their shingle in 2013, after working for several years in homebirth practices and a busy birth center, respectively.

Megan first started attending births with a homebirth midwife in Madison, WI, in 2005. Shortly after she spent a year in West Africa attending births and doing research on traditional medicine. These experiences ignited a passion! She furthered her studies at Birthingway College of Midwifery, where she graduated with a Bachelors of Science in Midwifery in 2013. She has had the exceptional privilege of working with many midwives here in Portland, and abroad.

Midwifery and having babies at home has been a part of Susannah’s life since her mom used midwives and planned a homebirth with her. She began her formal education at Birthingway College of Midwifery in 2010, graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Midwifery in 2013. Susannah trained in a busy birthcenter for 2 ½ years before starting Cedar Midwifery.
