All About Thrive
Thrive Midwifery is meant to provide care that empowers families to thrive.
We create a space where families feel safe. We lay out options and provide education, so that each individual can make their own decision for themselves and their growing family.
Thrive started with the intention of closing the the major deficits in the popular maternal health care setting. We recognize the broken healthcare system disproportionately effecting women of color, increased obstetrical violence, and high cesarean rates.
Sydney and Rowan are licensed midwives that specialize in normal, healthy, pregnancy’s and birth (which accounts for over 80% of pregnancies.) Thrive midwives combine the deeply rooted knowledge that pregnancy and birth are normal physiologic events, and the importance of modern day science and medicine.
At Thrive, we provide the same care schedule as OBGYNs, we draw labs in house, refer for ultrasounds and carry life saving medications. Our appointments last 30 minutes or longer, so that we get to know you.
