As a busy wife & mom with family and ministry responsibilities, I intentionally keep my client load very small and have months throughout each year when I am unable to take clients. I’m also very limited in my ability to serve first time and primary VBAC clients at this stage of life. Thanks for your understanding as I try to care for my family and balance midwifery work.

All routine prenatal/postpartum appointments take place in my home office located in Philipsburg, PA.  I generally serve a radius of about 30 min. around Philipsburg, with occasional exceptions. This would include State College, Bellefonte & Tyrone. 

Note: occasionally, due to unexpected schedule changes, miscarriages, a client move, etc. a spot becomes available during a month previously marked as full. You are welcome to check back later to see if an opening is available, or contact me to be added to the wait list for your due month.

“I used Gentle Delivery Midwifery for the delivery of my daughter in 2019. I had a wonderful experience and felt consistently cared for and listened to. I consider Kelsey not only an incredible and capable midwife but also a friend. She is very organized, professional and above all considerate. I had my first child at a birthing center in another state. I would say both experiences were good but the home birth I had with Gentle Delivery was considerably more peaceful and overall a better experience. I felt safe in my home and in the hands of Kelsey. She is capable and experienced and so I went into birth knowing she was looking out me as well as for the life of my daughter. I knew she would not take unnecessary risk as well as push me towards fear based precaution. She trusts in her own midwifery experience and depth of understanding she has of birth as well as the instinct of the mother which is a very important combination. She also did a remarkable job throughout my care leading up to birth and after. She saw me as an individual and a mother and not just one of many patients. Because of the prenatal care she knew my personality and fears going into labor. She is kind, trustworthy, and excellent at the work she does. I highly recommend her!”
