Welcome to Bridge Midwifery! We are a mobile, inclusive, family-centered midwifery practice. Bridge Midwifery aims to fill the gaps in reproductive and perinatal health care. Our name and mission are inspired by Kate Rushin’s, The Bridge Poem.

The bridge I must be
Is the bridge to my own power
I must translate
My own fears
Mediate
My own weaknesses

I must be the bridge to nowhere
But my true self
And then
I will be useful

Excerpt from The Bridge Poem by Kate Rushin in This Bridge Called My Back:Writings by Radical Women of Color edited by: Cherrie Moraga and Gloria Anzaldua
