Midwifery Care in Avon, Indiana

“Cassandra was such an amazing midwife and supporter of everything I wanted. It was my dream to have a birth that didn’t traumatize me and this one was everything I wanted and imagined it would be, I’ll never be able to thank her enough.”

“I always wanted a home birth. I tried with my first, but was pushed hard by family to abandon that dream. I had two natural hospital births with midwives, but still was pushed into some interventions. I had stalled labor from outside stressors, annoying monitoring, and long hours of pacing on cold, dirty floors. When faced with another hospital birth, I thought I could try an OB with a reputation for letting women give birth naturally. But I didn’t feel seen, heard, or cared for. My husband supported meeting Cassandra for a last chance at a better birth. With one visit I knew I had found a woman on the same wavelength as me. Having your caregiver not blink an eye at your use of herbs and homeopathy, and even have additional ideas to share was a breath of fresh air. Surrounded by women who cared for me, literally lifted me up, and knew how to dance between leaving me be and cheering me on, I gave birth in the wee hours of the morning with my big kids watching in awe. Cassandra knew just what to do with our big boy’s shoulder and what I needed to slow the heavy bleeding I always have. In the days after my birth, she cared for me through double mastitis and more. When I was done with my last postpartum visit with her, I felt like I had lost a friend because she had been so available and supportive for so many weeks. I couldn’t have asked for better care or a better birth. And I wouldn’t have gotten it with anyone but her.”

"I knew from the minute I met Cassandra that my second birth was going to be way different from my first birth. I was so traumatized from my first birth in a hospital setting that I knew I wanted something different for my second pregnancy and birth. Cassandra went beyond my expectations not only as a midwife, but as a friend throughout my pregnancy. During my labor I was so relaxed and comfortable knowing that she was there by my side. With Cassandra’s care, I had the most euphoric and joyful home birth for my second baby. I am forever grateful that I found Cassandra and would highly recommend her to anyone looking to have personal and compassionate care."

"Cassandra has been absolutely wonderful during my whole pregnancy, birth and postpartum! Her positive, bubbly and supportive personality makes you feel confident and cared for in every step. You can tell how much she genuinely cares for you and your baby. Her openness and support to mom’s choices through their pregnancy and birth gives you full autonomy over your experience, making you feel empowered and heard. I recommend anyone wanting a homebirth to contact Cassandra, you will not be disappointed!"

"Cassandra was my midwife for my first baby. She was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful that my husband and I were able to utilize her services. Every time we met with Cassandra leading up to the birth of our daughter, I left feeling more confident and informed of our choices. Cassandra always made us feel like the most important people in the world when we were at appointments, answering all of our questions, sending resources, and making us feel comfortable and welcome. When our daughter was born, Cassandra took great care of me and baby. Her postpartum support has also been vital as we are figuring out life as a family of 3. I could not imagine this experience without Cassandra and I’m so grateful for her expertise, guidance, and caring heart."

"What an incredible and empowering experience all around. From our first intro meeting with Cassandra to the birth of our daughter at home, we felt very confident with her care all along. Can’t speak more highly about our experience and highly recommend!"

"After interviewing a couple of midwives, I immediately felt a connection with Cassandra. There was something so grounding, comforting, and genuine about her presence that made me feel safe from the very beginning. She took the time to truly listen and helped me work through some of the fears I carried into my redemptive birth journey. Throughout my pregnancy and birth, Cassandra supported me with compassion and confidence, and her guidance became a steady anchor when things felt overwhelming. Even in postpartum, when new concerns and emotions surfaced, she continued to show up for me with the same care and reassurance. Her wisdom, patience, and gentle approach made all the difference. If I can have more kids in the future, I would definitely choose Cassandra again. I’m deeply grateful for her role in my healing and for the way she supported me in reclaiming my birth experience with strength and peace. Cassandra is a gifted midwife, and I couldn’t imagine my journey without her."

"Cassandra took the time to truly know me — my needs, my desires, and my deepest hopes for my birth. I could feel her tucking each one away with care, storing them not only in her mind but also in her heart. She is a midwife who deeply trusts the wisdom of a woman’s body and honors the sacredness of birth in a way that is rare and special. When my birthing day came, let’s just say she called on every skill she holds and she did so with grace, intuition, and unwavering calm. She supported me without ever interrupting the connection between me and my baby. It was a beautiful, powerful experience. She witnessed me in my strength and reflected it back to me in moments when I needed it most. I will forever be grateful for her presence and support throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I couldn’t imagine walking this journey with anyone else."

"First time Mom here and I had no idea what to expect with a home birth but I always knew that’s the route I wanted to go. Cassandra was recommended by so many women and I’m grateful she had availability for me. After speaking with her during our consult, I had no doubts in the decision. Our monthly check ups just felt so natural… chatting, bonding, discussing our plan and desires for the birth, focusing on me and the babies health and growth. She is so educated and well informed but she leaves every decision to the family. No pressure at all. I felt so prepared when I went into labor. Her guidebook is full of resources to help you prepare for the big day. When she arrived she monitored me and checked babies heartbeat to make sure all was well. She guided me through different positions for comfort and coached (plus cheered me on) through the active phase. I am so grateful for her. Her team cleaned up everything and I was able to snuggle in bed with my baby. She came back within 24 hours to check on me and baby girl. I can’t recommend her services enough. She is more than a midwife and a friend. The relationship you build with her feels more like family. <3"

"Even though my wife and I had always talked about having a home birth for our first child, I have to admit that as the husband, I was a bit nervous going to the initial meeting. Cassandra put us at complete ease throughout the entire process. She has an answer for every question, and is an incredible kind and welcoming person! We knew we were in good hands from the start. When it came to the actual birth, she and her assistant exceeded our already lofty expectations. For almost 20 hours, she coached, counseled, and consoled us through the most intense experience of our lives. Interestingly, the thought of going to the hospital never once crossed our minds; Cassandra’s capable, positive attitude and clear mastery of her profession reassured us at all times. She is a woman whose presence, knowledge, and manner inspires trust, at a time when you value it most. Now that it’s all over, we wouldn’t have changed a thing. We are so grateful that we were guided through the process by a friend who we knew had our best interests at heart. Cassandra is an incredible midwife and we could not recommend her more highly! We hope to work with her again soon!"

"My husband and I welcomed our first baby this year with Emerald Midwifery leading the birth team. I felt safe and supported from the day we met Cassandra at our consult, to the day I gave birth to our baby (and through the postpartum appts.) As a first time mom, I had so many questions throughout my pregnancy and she always made me feel heard and her knowledge put me at ease. Aside from her mastery in the pregnancy/birth space, she was so incredibly kind, pleasant, and funny at every appointment which created such a warm and comfortable birthing experience with her. I would recommend Emerald Midwifery to anyone and cannot wait to be a client again!"

"Cassandra and her team cared for us throughout our 3rd pregnancy. She is truly the best of the best! She is very personable and detailed. We felt very prepared for birth thanks to her expertise. Would recommend to anyone!"

"Third times a charm couldn’t be more true! I enjoyed every second I got to work with Cassandra and her team. I continued to walk away from every appointment feeling confident in my care and birth. I feel so blessed that I got to work with Cassandra. Thank you for everything and for always being a listening ear. 💗"

"We met Cassandra when we were expecting our fourth child, at the time she was a student midwife. She was present at most prenatal visits and assisted at the birth. Two years later we were excited to find she opened Emerald Midwifery. And she deliverd our fifth child. From day one her personality won me over, she is geniune, outgoing, and professional. She very much becomes part of the family and makes you feel comfortable and appreciated at every appointment. Thank you for all that you do!"

"Cassandra is a true gem. She will easily become one of your favorite people, as she did for us! We are honored to have her as a midwife and would recommend her to anyone, no question. Our experience before, during and after birth was wonderful. Not only is Cassandra attentive and shows genuine care, she is knowledgeable on so many things.. plus, she will encourage the heck out of you! Whether it be VBAC, shoulder dystocia, natural treatment options, you name it. She is a jack of all trades and you will be well taken care of. You will miss her smiling face once your appointments are over! We love you Cassandra!"

"Cassandra and team were amazing to work with. I chose the option to have her travel to my home for all of my prenatal appointments which was such a gift. Every step along the way, Cassandra gave us the opportunity to make informed decisions for ourselves. My birth with Cassandra was everything I could have hoped for. It was peaceful, and Cassandra was utterly respectful of our space. The whole experience was empowering, beautiful and memorable. So grateful to have worked with Emerald Midwifery for this birth!! Thank you Cassandra!"
