Homebirth Midwifery

Dr. Kai Parker provides loving support and attentive care to women in all stages of pregnancy - preconception, prenatal, and postpartum. She educates and empowers women and their families, allowing them to have complete control of their birth.
Aloe Wellness and Sagelight Integrative Wellness afford women and their families the rare opportunity to experience the miracle of safe, gentle, and natural childbirth. We enthusiastically support midwifery and homebirths because we understand that women’s bodies are very wise and fully capable of ushering new life into this world.
In fact, we are currently the only medical practices in the Washington Metropolitan Area that offer prenatal, postpartum, pediatrics, and homebirth midwifery services by a Licensed Midwife and Doctor!
Dr. Kai Parker provides clear education, natural therapies, and loving support to empower families during this precious time in their lives.
