Welcome to Cove Midwifery and Women's Health
Thoughtful Midwifery Care for Pregnancy and Birth
At Cove Midwifery and Women’s Health, we specialize in thoughtful, relationship-centered care for discerning families who value expertise, presence, and trust throughout pregnancy. Our midwifery team provides comprehensive prenatal care, attentive labor and birth support, and seamless postpartum guidance—delivered in an environment designed to feel calm, private, and reassuring. We believe pregnancy is not just a medical journey, but a deeply personal one, deserving of time, intention, and individualized care.
While pregnancy and birth are at the heart of what we do, Cove also offers select women’s health services to support continuity of care beyond pregnancy, including annual exams, contraception counseling, and gynecologic care. With an emphasis on clinical excellence, informed decision-making, and understated elegance, Cove Midwifery and Women’s Health is a place where families feel genuinely known, supported, and confident at every step.
Confidence Starts with Caring for You.
