Inner Circle Midwifery is a private homebirth Midwifery practice based in Historic Germantown, Philadelphia. As midwives, we provide clinical services during the normal childbearing cycle— spanning preconception, pregnancy, labor, birth, lactation, and the postpartum period. As a practice, we equally pride ourselves in the attention we pay to each client as an individual; their values and the factors that most contribute to an overall sense of comfort and preparedness.
We recognize our unique role as clinical providers and intermediaries between midwifery care and those of auxiliary providers who may offer specialized support along the way. This includes access to our very own network of doulas who are available to our homebirth clients, and who also serve as an extension of our practice to the larger community of birthing families.
We welcome all families and family structures to our practice and are happy to serve within a one hour radius of Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey.

Being able to work with Asasiya through out my pregnancy was a blessing. She is a warm, welcoming, and wise provider. There was not a moment through out our time that I felt uncomfortable or judged, as Asasiya makes sure to provide you with all the tools you need to make informed decisions and have the most pleasurable birth and prenatal experience.

I truly cannot put into words the gratitude I have for my birth experience with Inner Circle Midwifery. Asasiya is one of the most beautiful souls I’ve encountered… Her wisdom and knowledge, passion for what she does, shines through at every visit I had.

We couldn’t have been more pleased and grateful for our experience with Asasiya! Her sincere care and knowledgeable expertise made us feel extremely comfortable and confident we were in good hands. I always felt as if I was her only client at the time; giving us the attention we desired.
Sabrina R.
My husband and I had such a pleasant experience with Inner Circle Midwifery during our home birth. It was my first homebirth and I needed someone that I could trust to walk me through this process. Asasiya and her team were wonderful. Asasiya guided us every step of the way. She was able to answer any questions that we had and refer us to outside resources.
Emily L.
We loved working with Asasiya for my pregnancy and the birth of our baby. She cared for us with great skill, compassion, thoughtfulness and emotional intelligence. I felt consistently amazed at how quickly she responded to any questions or concerns and at her total availability to us at all times. Asasiya is very warm, and holds high standards of professionalism.

Inner Circle Midwifery was the best decision I made for my prenatal/pregnancy care. They let me know I had a voice in my birth process by educating me with evidence based information for decision making, without fear of judgement. The foundation of my care was built on trust and respect, which resulted in a successful birth and formed lasting relationships.
Doulas vs Midwives
A doula and a midwife offer different types of services, even though both may support the childbirth experience. Midwives have medical training and during the birth process, focus on delivering a healthy baby. Doulas, on the other hand, focus on the needs of the mother, offering mental, physical, and emotional support.
Below are a few things your Doula will not do:
- Make medical decisions on your behalf. Your provider wants to hear from you.
- We also do not take over your partner’s role or anyone else you may choose to be in the room during the time of delivery.
- We cannot make any medical judgements or clinical recommendations.
- We do not perform clinical tasks, such as blood pressure checks, fetal assessments, vaginal exams, etc.
