in-home postpartum
midwifery care
in the SF bay area
for a more supported 4th trimester
Having your baby at a hospital doesn't mean you have to go it alone once you're back home.
The first six weeks after birth are some of the most tender and demanding of your life. This is a period of time that is often neglected in our current health system, and where support is often most needed. Bay Postpartum Midwife brings experienced, unhurried midwifery care directly to your home, offering physical assessment and emotional attunement so you can transition into parenthood with more ease.
Whether you're recovering from a vaginal birth or a cesarean, navigating feeding challenges, or simply hoping for a calm and knowledgeable presence in the early days — this care is for you.
What is Postpartum Midwifery Care?
Bay Postpartum Midwife offers full postpartum and newborn care during the first six weeks after your hospital birth. Home visits are thoughtful and individualized — there's room to ask every question, process your birth experience, and get hands-on assessment and support.
Care includes:
Postpartum assessment — physical recovery, suture healing and care, health evaluation, mood and emotional wellbeing, and more.
Newborn care — weight checks, jaundice monitoring, feeding support (breast and bottle), and newborn exams.
Ongoing visits through the first six weeks — so you're supported as your baby grows and your body heals.
Built on fifteen years of Bay Area birth work
Hi, I'm El, a licensed midwife and the founder of Bay Postpartum Midwife. For eight years, I ran Emunah Midwifery — a home birth practice where I had the profound privilege of attending births across the Bay Area and witnessing the magic and mystery of pregnancy and labor.
I’ve transitioned to focusing exclusively on postpartum care — because the weeks after birth are so often where families most need support, and where our healthcare system most often falls short.
Bay Postpartum Midwife carries everything I learned through those eight years: deep respect for the birthing body, genuine curiosity about each family's experience, and a commitment to showing up fully for the people in my care. In many ways, my goal is to bring the home birth model of midwifery care to families who are recovering after a hospital birth.
(Formerly served by Emunah Midwifery? You're in the right place. Bay Postpartum Midwife is the continuation of that postpartum care, now as its own dedicated practice.)
(Looking for fertility or IUI services? Those have moved to Bay Fertility Care.)
“El put my every fear and anxiety at ease. We miss her and are forever thankful for her compassion, passion, care and loving kindness.”
