Here at Deep Roots Birth and Wellness, we view pregnancy and childbirth as physiologically normal and healthy processes.
You make decisions along that path, based on true informed-consent care, that are right for your unique body and birthing experience.
We provide care that is well-rounded, family-centered, based on respectful relationship, framed with informed-consent, integrated with health and prenatal education, and continuity of care.
Our goal is to address the whole woman, emphasizing physical health as well as mental, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being.
Consider us your personal health coaches that you hire to prepare you for the biggest physical event of your life. You wouldn’t run a marathon without preparing and training for it. We’re here to partner with you to be as healthy and prepared as possible throughout your pregnancy, through labor and delivery, and in your postpartum time.
The care model we use is unrushed, personalized, and thoughtful. This allows us to know you well and love you through every stage of womanhood.
Ask any woman of any age for her birth stories and be amazed.
Birth is transformative.

Birthing at home, safely
Thoughtfully, deliberately, and with the best interests of everyone in mind, we have developed parameters for our services.
- We only accept women who are low-risk, ensuring that our clients and their babies are in the best hands possible.
- We only accept women who take ownership of their health by doing their best to make healthy food and lifestyle choices and work as partners with our guidance.
- At our practice, we only accept clients within a 15-mile radius to ensure that we can respond promptly.
- We also limit our client intake to 4 homebirths per month, so that we can provide the highest level of attention and care to each of our clients.
- Because Kim is allergic to cats we cannot take on clients who have house cats.
