~Every Baby A Gift From God~
~Every Birth A Miracle~

                                                                          JANUARY 1, 2009

 

We are excited to announce that Blessed Birth Services has expanded into two independent midwifery practices to better serve your home birthing needs.  All of us at  Blessed Birth Services want to thank you for your wonderful support, your trust in our care and most of all for sharing your birthing experiences with us.  It has been an honor to have been present at such a special time in your life….and for this ….we deeply thank you.

 

Jeni Rector will continue to offer her midwifery services with her newly founded midwifery practice called Virginia Homebirth Midwifery.  Jenny Derugen, also continues to serve your homebirth needs along with Terri Hewitt, who is now a CPM and Licensed Midwife.  Jenny and Terri have joined together in forming their new practice called Seven Cities Midwifery Care.  These two new practices will serve southeastern Virginia and will travel to accept birthing clients on both the peninsula and south side just as Blessed Birth Services has done for you in the past.

 

Robin Weisbrod, the founder of Blessed Birth Services, and the former business manager is now choosing to spend more precious time with her rapidly maturing family.  The website, however, is still up and running for sometime in the future as a homebirth resource to you. 

 

Feel free to contact anyone independently at the following contact information.
