Combining the Clinical Wisdom of a Midwife with a Doula’s Touch

​

A monitrice is a medically trained professional, typically a midwife or a nurse skilled in obstetric care. They are an ideal option for families who want the midwifery skills with the touch of a doula while giving birth in a hospital setting.

 

A monitrice is the missing bridge between the comfort of your home and the safety of your intended birth place. The word "monitrice" comes from the french word meaning "monitor" or "guide."

​

As a licensed provider, your monitrice offers more than just labor coaching; we provide expert clinical monitoring in the comfort of your home. By tracking maternal vitals, monitoring baby’s heart rate, and if necessary performing vaginal exams, you'll have data-driven confidence to stay home longer and know exactly when it’s time to head to the hospital. This reduces stress and unnecessary trips to and from the faciility of your choosing during early labor.​

By bringing midwifery-level clinical expertise into your living room, we provide the vital data needed to stay in your own space as long as safely possible. Once you transition to your chosen birth place, we shift into high-level advocacy and doula support, providing a seamless thread of care while deferring medical management to your primary obstetric provider.
