Member of the Board of Advisors

Company Description

BirthCare & Women’s Health is a leading, community-rooted midwifery practice and birth center based in Alexandria, Virginia, providing comprehensive, relationship-centered care across the full spectrum of a woman’s life.

While we are nationally recognized for our expertise in physiologic birth—including home birth and care in our accredited birth center—our work extends far beyond pregnancy.

We offer whole-woman, lifespan care, supporting individuals from adolescence through menopause and beyond, including:

• Preventive gynecologic care
• Cycle health and hormonal support
• Preconception and fertility guidance
• Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care
• Perimenopause and menopause support
• Integrative, culturally grounded wellness services

Serving families across Northern Virginia, Washington, D.C., and Maryland, BirthCare blends clinical excellence, ancestral wisdom, and personalized care. We are deeply committed to improving maternal health outcomes, expanding access to midwifery care, and creating a model of care that honors the physical, emotional, and cultural needs of the communities we serve.
