About NOVA Birth Services

NOVA Birth Services is a well-established, midwifery-led practice serving the Greater Nashville area for almost 20 years. We provide safe, evidence-based, relationship-centered home birth care rooted in the Midwives Model of Care. Our philosophy prioritizes physiologic birth, informed consent, and respectful, family-centered decision-making.

Equally important, NOVA is committed to the long-term sustainability of midwives themselves. We operate within a true team model, where midwives practice with clinical autonomy while being supported by a deeply connected, experienced group of colleagues and dedicated administrative staff. No one practices in isolation here.

Midwives join NOVA because they want meaningful work without burnout, autonomy without isolation, and a professional culture that values excellence, rest, and collaboration.

• Rotating call schedule
• One full week off-call per month, guaranteed

This structure supports rest, family life, and professional longevity, allowing midwives to arrive at births grounded, present, and well-supported.
