A new baby is a tender, busy time — so we come to you. Our certified mohel provides calm, professional newborn circumcision in the comfort of your own Kalamazoo home, on a schedule that works for your family.
Welcoming a new baby in Kalamazoo? Our in-home newborn circumcision service brings calm, professional care directly to your door — whether you are home in Westnedge Hill, Vine, Milwood, Oakwood, or just across the line in Portage. As part of a national in-home practice, we travel to you so your baby can be cared for in the quiet and comfort of your own home.
Many local families welcome their babies at Bronson BirthPlace, Ascension Borgess, or one of the area’s birth centers and home-birth midwives before settling in at home. Wherever your birth takes place, we coordinate around your schedule and come to you across the greater Kalamazoo area — no waiting room, no rush, just unhurried, gentle care for your newborn.
No clinic trip — your newborn stays in your arms the whole time.
Care in the calm and privacy of your own space.

Southwest Michigan has an unusually active community of birth workers for a region its size, including organizations working specifically on birth equity and access. Families here are more likely than most to have thought carefully about where and how they give birth.
Most Kalamazoo babies arrive at the Bronson BirthPlace. Those who arrive at home reach the circumcision question and find that the hospital will not help — their son was never their patient — and that their midwife does not perform circumcisions, since it sits outside midwifery scope of practice.
Below is our list of Kalamazoo-area birth professionals — the Bronson BirthPlace, home-birth practices including Three Peaks Midwifery, In the Beginning Homebirth and Arts of Love Birth Services, and doulas including Birth Kalamazoo, Rootead, Ethereal Birth Services, Shalom Birth Beginnings and In the Beginning Doula. Rootead in particular works on birth access and equity in Kalamazoo County, and is worth knowing about regardless of what you decide here.
