Promoting family building as an intentional journey
Science, Wellness, & Informed Decision-Making
Our expertise in fertility healthcare and preconception wellness is what sets us apart from other midwifery practices.
We support fertility awareness and curiosity for the purposes of family-building for anyone wanting to make a baby; whether you’re an LGBTQIA+ person, a single-by-choice prospective parent, someone with fertility challenges, or a polycule family, we’re here to help!

DO YOU DO INSEMINATIONS WITH FRESH DONOR SPERM?
Rae currently only offers insemination services with frozen donor sperm acquired ahead of time by the client.
DO YOU DO INSEMINATIONS IN CLIENT’S HOMES?
Insemination in client’s homes will be offered in the future; currently they are being offered in our clinic.
WHAT IF THE INSEMINATION TIMING HAS TO HAPPEN OUTSIDE OF OFFICE HOURS OR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT?
We offer inseminations 24/7 and contract with a number of other back-up midwives when needed (if, for example, Rae is attending a birth).
