Supporting Homebirthing Families

Heather Baker

Freebirth Advocate, Educator and Author

I'm Heather Baker, a Traditional Midwife who has been attending births since 1996.  Mother to 5 children whom were all born at home, 4 of which were completely unassisted. I am a teacher, educator and healer. I attend all types of births including twins and breeches. I choose to remain uncertified because there should be no governing factor in women's rights over the way they birth, with whom and when. I choose to practice how our elders and ancestors did, use herbs for healing as well as our intuition, free of conditioning by societal constraints.

​

I wrote: Home Birth on Your Own Terms, A How to Guide for Birthing Unassisted, which is the #1 book on freebirthing since 2019. It has been translated to Spanish (Parto En Casa) and French as well.

I also wrote Our Births, Our Stories ~ Volume 1 and Volume 2.

As an experienced elder Midwife in the US as well as Internationally, I offer virtual support in pregnancy, birthing, and postpartum support or in person care if you hire me to travel to you.

In Wisconsin, I only work as a doula/birthkeeper and educator.

​

I am also known as a Birth Keeper ~the term “birthkeeper” refers to a woman who not only supports a mother during pregnancy, the birth and the time after but even more importantly, I encourage women to know their rights, empower themselves with knowledge to ensure that as women, we are claiming our responsibility, welcoming babies as gently and powerfully into the world as possible through freebirthing.

​

My goal is to give you and your family the attention and knowledge you need to make informed decisions about your pregnancy and labor process whether you plan to give birth unassisted or with a Midwife. If you would like a consult or to book me with the services that I offer, please feel free go to the Book Online page on the top left of this page.
