The philosophy of the midwives of Vivante Women's
Health is that annual exams, family planning and regular health screening are important elements of maintaining a healthy
lifestyle. Too often, women find that these visits to their GYN office are uncomfortable or they don't feel listened
to. We strive to make your visits pleasant, and we want you to walk away feeling confident about your health and your
choices.We practice evidence-based care and shared decision-making with our clients.
We have a unique practice arrangement in that we combine the perspectives of nurse-midwifery and direct-entry
midwifery. Linda and Laura are Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs), and Wendy and Sarah are Certified Professional Midwives (CPMs) and Licensed Direct-Entry Midwives (LDMs). While we come from different
educational backgrounds, we share the same philosophy of women's health.
Our Goals
To provide comprehensive evidence-based care to every client.
To ensure that each client feels fully listened to and that her needs have been met.
To integrate the elements of women's health, sensitively and compassionately.
