Sweet Water Midwifery Services

Sovereign, Safe, & Sacred Birth

Welcome to Sweet Water Midwifery Services

Sweet Water Midwifery Services (SWM) offers calm, personal home birth care for low-risk families from all walks of life.

We’re rooted in community and committed to care built on trust, respect, and real connection. Here, you are listened to, your choices matter, and you are supported as a whole person.

The Sweet Water Difference

We are the only home birth practice in Louisville led by a Master’s Level Occupational Therapist.

This means your care doesn't stop at birth. We combine ancestral wisdom with developmental science to track your baby’s nervous system, reflexes, and milestones for a full year.

We catch what others miss, ensuring your baby thrives from day one. You get the heart of a Midwife and the eyes of a Therapist.

Your Journey. Your Power. Our Guidance

A safe, sacred home birth experience in Louisville and surrounding areas, guided by wisdom and care.

Our Commitment to You

We proudly support Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC), and we offer a safe space for anyone looking for gentle, low-intervention, evidence-based care.

Time to Breathe. We spend in-depth time together at every visit. No rushing. Just time to talk, ask questions, and feel supported. We are with you through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, helping you feel calm, confident, and cared for.

A Rested Midwife. We believe good care starts with sustainable care. We prioritize rest and family balance so that when you call, we show up present, energized, and fully there for you.

Intentional Exclusivity To maintain this level of attention, we keep our practice small. We intentionally support a limited number of families at a time to ensure you get the focus you deserve.

Curious about costs? We believe in transparency. Check out our packages, payment plans, and barter options.
