Birth at home, held in faith.
Christ-centered prenatal, homebirth and postpartum care for healthy families across Boulder County, Weld County and the Colorado Front Range.
300+ births attended · Bethany Melton, CPM, RM · A team of three at every birth · NRP certified · Walking with Colorado families since 2016
Hi, I'm Bethany.
I began as a nurse, became a doula after my first son was born, and spent years serving in Colorado birth centers before earning my CPM. More than 300 births later, I still believe the same thing: birth isn't a medical event waiting for something to go wrong. It's a normal, beautiful process designed by God.
A good midwife watches the pool carefully and only jumps in when she's truly needed. That's the care I want to give your family.
Unhurried care for your whole family.
Long, relationship-focused visits covering health, nutrition, emotional wellbeing and prayer. Spouses, children and grandparents are always welcome.
Prenatal Care
When active labor begins, our team of three comes to you with everything needed for a safe birth at home, including a birth pool for water birth.
Homebirth & Water Birth
Home, virtual and studio visits through six weeks, newborn screenings, breastfeeding help and a slow, restful recovery. Having a hospital birth? We can still provide prenatal, postpartum and newborn care. Reach out for more information.
Postpartum & Newborn
“As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.”
PSALM 127:4
Every child is a gift from the Lord, sent out into the world with purpose. That’s the heart behind our name, and behind every birth we attend.
Four simple steps to your homebirth.

“When my wife mentioned she wanted a home birth I was originally very concerned… After our first appointment I was convinced a home birth was the best option for us because of Bethany’s immense knowledge, experience, and confidence as a midwife.”
