We are so glad you’re here

In the past, our ancestors would gather in the light of the moon to call on the divine. They came to ground, to center, to uplift one another in spirit and in love. This was a sacred, private, and intimate space. It was a place to feel safe, open, seen, and heard authentically without fear. This ritual was called a moon circle.

Here at Moon Circle Midwifery and Wellness we believe in bringing you into the circle every time we are together and building a safe, open, and intimate home for you to feel empowered in your care.

We believe that pregnancy and childbirth are transformative experiences that should be approached with care and respect. We work in partnership with each person and family to provide personalized care that meets their unique needs and preferences, while promoting the health and safety of all.

We currently offer homebirth packages, prenatal/postpartum packages, full reproductive care including annual visits, problem visits, and preconception/fertility care.

Our office is now open in downtown Bel Air, MD.

  • Darcie is an excellent midwife. She is very compassionate and has such a calming presence. being my first pregnancy, i had many questions and concerns, she answered them quickly and with care and understanding. I had a few complications during my pregnancy and Darcie explained them to me in a way that was easy to undertand and made me feel comfortable and less anxious. Her immense experties and knowledge about pregnancy and the birthing process helped me to make informed decisions throughout my pregnancy.

  • Darcie is a wonderful midwife! She's knowledgeable and also give the personal touch of compassion. She's a mother herself and understands the highs and lows of pregnancy. She cares deeply about her mothers and will follow up even when unprompted to. She listens to your concerns and validates your feelings. She is an amazing midwife!

    -Darlene W.

  • Darcie was the perfect midwife for my home birth! I switched my care to her around 33 weeks and she made my late transfer so seamless and alleviated so much stress during the end of my pregnancy. I came into my pregnancy with a terrible fear of hospitals and needles which drove my choice to transfer care. Not only was Darcie kind and understanding of my fears, she was willing to find creative and non-invasive ways to help get the information about my and my baby’s health that we needed to keep us both healthy and mitigate some of the stress of a hospital transfer should it have been necessary. Darcie provided wonderful care during the birth as well. She and her assistant brought such a sense of confidence and calm that was so helpful to me. She was very attentive as well, keeping an eye on my energy levels through a very long labor and keeping things moving. Postpartum, she visited us in our home which felt so much better than having to go to an office while I was still healing. She encouraged lots of rest and took excellent care of my daughter and I, and always encouraged us to reach out to her when we had questions about things like feeding, baby gas, or anything else that came up. We felt so lucky to have connected with such a talented and devoted midwife so late in my pregnancy. Her care has been so compassionate and I have come to trust her so deeply. I’m truly sad that we’ll be moving out of state and she won’t be able to attend my future births. Thank you for everything you have done for us Darcie! I can’t imagine anyone else getting our little family off to such a wonderful start.

  • Darcie was an absolute blessing this pregnancy! After a traumatic first birth at the hospital under ob care, I cannot recommend Darcie enough. She is well-informed and unbiased, and calm, cool, and collected when it counts. I could never thank her enough for getting my baby girl earthside safely.

    -Brigitta G.

  • Darcie was an awesome midwife. Being my first baby and first home birth I struggled to find a midwife I felt would work well with me at first, but very happy I found Darcie! She is very easy going, direct, knowledgable, and understanding. I felt very comfortable and safe during birth and the home visit package was well worth it. Her assistant was also amazing to support the birth as well. The follow up appointments and check-ins after birth are also great and comforting since new mothers don’t tend to receive much attention or care from the medical system otherwise.

    -Laurel T.

  • I had an amazing pregnancy and home birth experience with Darcie! She is very professional and knowledgeable. She was very thorough in providing all of the information I needed to make informed decisions. Her office is so beautiful and cozy and she also welcomed my children to my appointments as well. I loved the intimate experience of the appointments and they never felt rushed. I also appreciated the in house bloodwork! My birth was so beautiful and I felt very safe and cared for. I also really appreciated all of the postpartum visits! I would recommend Darcie to everyone if you are considering a home birth or just need a gynecologist she is wonderful!!

  • Darcie is such an incredible provider. She’s extremely knowledgeable, helpful, caring, and calm. As first time moms we were facing so many questions, and are so glad we switched care from another midwife to Moon Circle. Darcie never hesitated to answer questions and ease our minds during this pregnancy journey. She gives evidence based answers and allows space for patients to discover things on their own (encourages the research too). Our birth experience with her was serene. She gave me (the birthing mom) so much peace of mind and quiet encouragement to help bring our little guy earth side safely. I never questioned if things were okay or going to be okay because of Darcie’s presence. Postpartum care has also been incredible! It is really something to see her take care of me and our little one (and the joy she takes in doing so). She lights up when she sees our guy and truly cares about how he and I are doing. She also checks in to see how my wife is doing with this new life which is really special. I hope we are able to have another baby down the road so we can have Darcie by our side again. Cannot recommend her enough!
