Have a Beautiful Birth Your Way
We are committed to birth
your way
Birth is one of the most amazing and inspiring experiences you can have during your lifetime. We know it's important to you that your pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey is done your way - we have a team of caring birth professionals ready to support you in that journey!
Our story
Gaia Midwives began with the idea that the Long Island community needed more in the way of safe, supportive, caring and responsible maternal care. We know that birth is one of the most intense and important moments in a woman’s life, and that those months, hours, and minutes MATTER. Your opinion matters. Your feelings matter. We will educate and advise, but YOU are in charge or your body and your birth. We are so happy to join you on that journey.
