My Birth By Design

My Birth By Design is a Homebirth Midwifery Practice, primarily providing care throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period located in East Stroudsburg, PA. Jennifer is a traditional midwife, not a nurse midwife. I offer well woman care, preconception counseling, and prenatal care in a holistic manner, following the midwives model of care. I also can offer waterbirth in your home. I am located in East Stroudsburg PA. Currently my home office is under construction so I am doing all prenatal care in the comfort of your own home for an additional small fee to cover gas/travel expenses. I do home visits in the Lehigh Valley, Bloomsburg, Scranton/Wilkes, Stroudsburg, and Dalton areas regularly.

I serve the Northeastern Region of Pennsylvania which includes the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos. I have attended births in the following counties, Monroe, Carbon, Lehigh, Luzerne, Lackawanna, Columbia, Pike, Wyoming, Northampton, Bradford, Bucks, Wayne, and Susquehanna. If you are more than an hour and a half's driving time from Tobyhanna, there will be additional expenses to cover cost of time and travel.

I am a direct entry midwife (DEM), attending low risk women at home and I have been a traditional homebirth midwife since 2008. I believe that birth is a very personal and spiritual experience, and respect the body's wisdom to do what it knows best. I happily serve women from all walks of life and in many different belief systems. I am not a licensed medical professional. Please check out the FAQ page for more information about homebirth and my background. Currently I have Erin Walker as my apprentice.
