Midwife Noel Fernandez, wearing glasses and a face mask, assists a water birth.

At the heart of my practice is a simple belief: each individual knows what is best for themselves. I believe that we make the best decisions when we are fully informed and supported.

I am constantly humbled by the profound wisdom each person holds, and it is an honor beyond words to be invited to witness and support those I serve.

—Noel Fernandez, CPM, NHCM, WI LM

Equality for all

I hold a strong commitment to the elimination of discrimination based on race and ethnicity, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, size or weight, physical ability, mental health experiences, religion and spirituality, etc. I firmly believe all people deserve to not only be accepted for who they are but to have their whole being celebrated.

“Having Noel present at the birth of my son was knowing that there was a quiet confidence holding sacred space for us.

We felt supported and yet intimate in our own ability to work together to welcome this babe, knowing Noel was close if we needed her and yet a step away when we needed it to just be the two of us.”
