relationship-based, collaborative care
home midwifery care for Madison area families
Grassroots Midwifery is relationship-based care with your community midwife. We all deserve person-centered and led, culturally appropriate, evidence-based care that is collaborative and trusting. We deserve to make confident, informed decisions for our selves. We deserve to define our whole-self strength and wellbeing. We deserve to be known as the expert of our selves and bodies, and to have full autonomy over them. We deserve to have our whole selves embraced and our power supported.
What does a home birth and home midwifery care mean for you? How would you like to build your care team, and with what relationships? What is this midwifery care my loved one has chosen for themselves? Whatever brought you here, warmest welcomes to you. And thank you for supporting midwives, birthing folks, and families in our beautiful community. Birth is powerful, and it matters.
Miranda Welch, LM, CPM
My path to midwifery has been lifelong, ebbing and flowing from childhood to academia, social justice and community building. Midwifery brought together all of my passions, hats and experiences in a beautiful hodge-podge of perfection. I’ve been called to rise up with you, to practice grassroots midwifery – on the ground, everyday justice work. Plus I get to work with and learn from awesome families!
Before becoming a Licensed Midwife, I supported Madison area families for 9 years as a professional doula and trained via home-based apprenticeship for 3.5 years.
Home Midwifery Care
As your midwife, I am your partner in care that is you-led and rooted in communication and informed-decision making. Grounded in the normal variations of healthy pregnancies, labors, births, postpartums, and babies, I assist you in navigating the childbearing year and share skilled care, knowledgeable vigilance, and evidence-based considerations. You tell me what is best for you and your family. Wherever it takes you, whatever it asks of you, we communicate every step of the way, and I work to safeguard the process without diminishing your power as you do your big work.
Kind Words
Ariana & Walker
The best midwife we met during our pregnancy; super well informed and made us comfortable the whole 9 months + and during labor. I literally could not have asked for a better experience. If you’re looking for a midwife, definitely go with Miranda. 💚
Tangee & Ethan
Amazing! Miranda was very informative throughout my whole time working with her. It’s wonderful that passionate people like her exist in this world.💙

Miranda was there for me in a way no one else could be. She held me when I needed to cry, brought me chocolate when I needed a pick-me-up, helped me figure out how to use baby carries and most of call, was supportive of the breastfeeding challenges our family had and the choices we made for the greater good of our family. Without judgment and with so much love. Miranda is amazing.
Amanda & Jim
I had the privilege of birthing three of my five babies with Miranda’s guidance and encouragement. I felt very supported in physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Miranda was a calm, knowledgeable, non-judgmental presence and I felt like she was capable of joining me in whatever space I was needing to be in without pushing me to “be” anywhere else until I and my baby were ready. I highly recommend her assistance and care. We are still so grateful to have had her be a part of our stories.
