Have your healthiest pregnancy, give birth with confidence, and thrive postpartum
with critical information, expert guidance, and heart-centered support.
Does prenatal care feel like a maze? Do you feel prepared to give birth? Do you feel prepared to be a parent? Do you wish you had a "coach" to guide you through it all?
Are you wanting more than what you have been receiving in 15 minute prenatal visits?
Do not let yourself experience preventable complications, unnecessary interventions, or find yourself completely depleted with a new baby, looking back and wondering, "how could it all have been better? How could it all have been easier?" Coaching sessions, mini courses, and targeted programs with Lucy take it to the next level beyond routine obstetric care and basic childbirth education.
"Working with Lucy feels like having an incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate friend help guide you through an experience that can otherwise be difficult to navigate. The care she offered us felt like a unique blend of midwifery, mental health services, and birth coaching that was tailored specifically to us. It reduced anxiety and increased confidence, which is priceless."

I was a midwife before I had my own children, and still it was hard.
Laboring, giving birth, breastfeeding, newborn care, making parenting choices—all of it.
Over the past 16 years, I've cared for thousands of families—from large New York City hospitals to attending water births in Vermont. As a Yale-trained, hospital-based midwife and clinical instructor for resident physicians, I am well-versed in modern obstetrics. My clients appreciate that I blend my medical background with a passion for holistic care.

Mad River Birth and Wellness
A new paradigm for pregnancy care.
The name "Mad River Birth and Wellness" comes from the beautiful valley where I live with my family in Vermont. On a side note, my second baby was born so quickly, he was nearly born on the banks of the Mad River!
I started Mad River Birth and Wellness in order to create a critical added layer to pregnancy care. I know that most people are in dire need of more guidance, preparation, and heart-centered support.
