About me
I'm a licensed homebirth midwife serving Boulder, Longmont and Northern Colorado. I've been attending births since 2001 and launched my midwifery practice in 2009. I'm an Enneagram 3; Capricorn Sun, Libra Moon & Libra Rising; and Empress Tarot archetype. When I work with families in the perinatal time, we engage in a soul-level contract together. I love holding space as women go deeply within and are transformed by the sacred space of birth. I value informed decision-making, critical thinking, connection, and hugs. Learning and sharing knowledge brings me joy. Recently I've trained in several Bodywork modalities: craniosacral and myofascial release, and the Arvigo techniques of Maya abdominal therapy. I also have the honor (and stomach butterflies!) to present at birth conferences and teach classes & workshops in my community. I bring extensive knowledge of herbs, homeopathy, flower essences and nutritional supplements. Being truly holistic, I also use conventional medicine when indicated. I'm a married mother of two home-birthed and naturally raised children.. I'm also an herbalist, gardener, hiker and rollerblader.

Ratings and reviews
There are not enough good things that I can say about Adrienne to fully express my gratitude. She is equal parts wise sister, knowledgable provider, and fierce supporter. I have never felt so supported and held on any other journey in my life. Adrienne took the time to make sure I was informed, empowered, and comfortable with my choices, and that my son and I were healthy and thriving. She is the best and I highly recommend her!

As a doula who has worked with a wide range of midwives, Adrienne is truly exceptional and stands out from the rest in many ways. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience in all aspects of midwifery care, from prenatal to postpartum support. Throughout the entire birth process, she remained calm, confident, and in control, which was incredibly reassuring for both the birthing person and their partner. Even in times of stress/ and transfer, she was such a strong support and presence. In addition to her expertise, she is an excellent communicator. She takes the time to really listen to her clients and understand their needs and concerns, which is essential for building trust and a strong rapport. She also communicates clearly and effectively, providing all the information her clients need to make informed decisions about their care. One of the things I appreciated most about working with this midwife was her holistic approach to care. She is such a wise woman when it comes to herbs, homeopathic remedies, and energetic support. She takes the time to get to know her clients on a personal level, and she approaches each birth as a unique and individual experience. She is also well-versed in natural and alternative forms of pain management, which can be incredibly helpful for those who want to avoid medical interventions. Overall, I would highly recommend this homebirth midwife to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and holistic provider. Her expertise, communication skills, and commitment to personalized care make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a homebirth experience
