LEND A HAND
It takes a village. Support midwifery care in Calilifornia.
Licensed Midwife Cecilia Duncan recently relocated back to her home state of California, where she's building her new practice — Daisy Midwifery — focused on accessible, inclusive, and community-centered care.
Daisy Midwifery is deeply committed to providing personalized, evidence-based support to all families, including those from communities that have historically faced barriers to respectful, high-quality care. This includes families of all racial, ethnic, cultural, and gender identities. Our goal is to offer a practice rooted in respect, safety, autonomy, and compassion for everyone choosing to give birth outside of the hospital system.
Daisy Midwifery has set up a GoFundMe to help close the gap on critical clinical equipment needed to operate a safe, autonomous home birth practice.
