As a collective of perinatal professionals, our team believes that we can accomplish more together. Ann Arbor Birth & Family is a group of independent business owners, who have come together to support one another to better support you. Being in a collective means that we have opportunities to collaborate on exciting projects, serve as skilled and reliable back-up for one another if an emergency were to arise, and benefit from each other’s areas of expertise as we learn from one another. At Ann Arbor Birth & Family, we’re united in our passion for delivering the highest quality of compassionate and non-judgmental support when you need your village the most.
