- Nutritional CounselingWe provide the full scope of maternity care services including prenatal care, nutrition counseling, ultrasound, laboratory testing, delivery, newborn and postpartum care.
- Pediatric CareAmy Leland, the primary midwife and owner of Blessed Births, began her early college education in Virginia and spent several years of clinical apprenticeship under senior midwives in two Pennsylvania-Amish birth centers. As the Amish rely on their midwives for a wide range of healthcare needs, her studies in Pennsylvania included midwifery, natural women’s wellness care, neonatal care, early pediatric care, and emergency triage care.
- ImmunizationsMost vaccines are not able to be administered until a baby is 2 months old. Though we do not administer vaccinations, we do offer ophthalmic erythromycin, the eye ointment used in hospital settings immediately following birth, as well as vitamin k. The decision to use these medications for your baby is your choice. We have you fill out a selection form that alerts us to your preference prior to delivery.

Maternal health has always been deeply rooted in her heart, and she reports feeling “called” to work in Midwifery.
