Host an Advocacy Dinner

Advocacy dinners, or house parties as they have been called, are a great way to offer information to family and friends about homebirth, the legislation that effects families and the midwives attending these births. Your event can be a casual dinner, a cocktail hour or a 4 course meal. Spend a few minutes talking about the issues and allow your guests to make donations. We will provide you with all the tools necessary to make your advocacy dinner a success. Email Nicole Schwartz for more information.

Provide Space for an Event

Own a business? Have a big yard? We could use your space! Contact either Amy Borrelli or Nicole Schwartz with information about your space.

Be a Speaker

Do you have expertise on a subject relevant to natural childbirthing, parenting, or midwifery? Care to volunteer 2-3 hours of your time speaking to members of the community about it? We are organizing a speakers bureau to do education and outreach. Email Nicole Schwartz for more information.

Become a Consignor

Do you have baby clothes, furniture, and toys piled up in your garage? How would you like to get rid of it and turn it into cash? Just sort and tag your new or gently used items, drop them off at our designated locations, and wait for your check in the mail! Read more about our Annual Consignment Sale.

About Us

Kate Fawley, CPM began the study of midwifery in 1998 after the birth of her first son. It was this experience that drove her desire to make birth better for other women. Her second son was born at home in a warm, loving environment. She attended a 3-year Midwifery School in Media, PA followed by a 2-year apprenticeship. This training was predominantly homebirth based. Her extensive knowledge in alternative modalities include: attendance at water births, use of homeopathy, herbs and acupressure.

Amy Borrelli is a doula and childbirth educator. After the birth of her first son in 2002 she was introduced to the idea of homebirth, and had her second son at home in 2006 with Rising Moon Midwifery.

Nicole Schwartz, MSW is a social worker and peaceful birth advocate. After the homebirth of her daughter, with Rising Moon Midwifery, she began her journey toward certification a doula and natural childbirth educator.
