Curious about what Millie has to offer? Let’s chat! We’d love to share more about our care approach.
Why We Created Millie
Pregnancy and childbirth can be challenging enough without the added stress of navigating the U.S. healthcare system. As mothers and care providers ourselves, we understand the struggles many face with the current model, which often feels incomplete and overly medicalized. We believe that every family deserves a strong start, and that’s why Millie was born — to provide a better alternative.
Our Philosophy
At Millie, we trust you with your body. Your experience is at the core of what we do, merging intuition with clinical excellence. Our care goes beyond the norm; we encompass not just the medical side but also your emotional and educational needs.
- Proactive Support: We guide you through your journey, providing answers to your questions before you even ask.
- Inclusive Approach: Our diverse team reflects and respects all backgrounds and experiences, ensuring everyone feels welcome.
- Commitment to Equity: We aim to make healthcare accessible, partnering with insurance plans and offering virtual care options for your convenience.
- Tech-Driven Care: We leverage modern technology to create a seamless experience that enhances outcomes.
What We Offer
Most of the significant moments in pregnancy happen between appointments, and our support doesn’t stop once your little one arrives. Millie is here to provide the guidance and knowledge you need, often before you realize you need it.
- Collaborative Care: Our midwives work alongside physicians when necessary, ensuring you receive comprehensive care.
- Immediate Access: You don’t have to wait until 8-10 weeks to meet with someone; schedule your first virtual visit whenever you’re ready.
- Personalized Doula Education: Each trimester, your dedicated doula will guide you through essential topics like birth and postpartum plans.
- Ongoing Team Support: We offer virtual visits for convenience and keep the lines of communication open through our app.
- Remote Monitoring Tools: Forget Googling symptoms; our digital health checks help you stay informed and relaxed.
- Home Postpartum Visits: Instead of just one follow-up, we provide three visits, starting with a home check-in shortly after birth.
- Support Beyond the Baby: We’re here for you for the first year, answering your questions and connecting you with resources and community support.
