The Value of Midwifery Branding and Logo Design
Running a midwifery practice and birthwork business is rewarding but also challenging; midwives provide very intimate services to their clients, and given the demanding nature of the role, birth workers often aren’t always able to also reserve time to focus on branding or marketing. Additionally, training for midwives, doulas, and birth workers typically doesn’t include much, if any, information about how to effectively brand a birthwork business. Birth workers have critically important and valuable roles, and it isn’t very realistic to also expect a midwife to be a designer or a branding expert, too. Similarly to how no one would expect a trained chef to also be a skilled plumber or an architect to do their own bookkeeping.
Everyone has their own unique set of skills and qualifications, and it’s beneficial to collaborate with other professionals so that you can focus on what you do best: bringing new life into this world.
When you invest in branding for your birthwork business, you are investing in the growth and sustainability of your practice, too. If you build a brand that aligns with your overall vision, showcases your expertise, and appeals to your ideal client audience, you are more likely to land clients that are excited to work with you!
Your brand is often the very first impression a new parent will encounter when deciding between your midwifery services or a competitor’s. It’s important that your brand evokes the type of experience you hope to offer your clients as well as illustrate the caliber and quality of your expertise. Your logo represents your business, your personality, and your capabilities—don’t underestimate the power and value of your brand logo!
A midwife’s logo needs to appropriately reflect the level of care and guidance that a mother can expect and it needs to build trust and establish a sense of comfort, competence, and confidence in the midwife. Clients need to feel that they’re getting a sense of who you are and what you can offer them before they decide to hire you. New mothers and parents want to feel relaxed and comfortable with you, so your logo design needs to align with how you choose to show up for your clients.
“The logo is one of the most critical elements of a brand. A well-designed logo draws attention, establishes credibility, and is easily memorable. It draws people in, and then, along with your brand’s other supporting messaging elements, your logo represents what makes your brand unique. Its appeal must engage your customer on a deeper level.”

When we got started on the logo design for this midwife brand, we worked with its founder to think about the customer audience: new mothers and parents looking for support, comfort, and expertise during their pregnancy and birth.
This midwifery brand’s new logo design is beautiful, professional, and comforting–just like the services provided by its midwives.
The concept for this midwife brand logo design is inspired by a flower opening up and blooming, symbolic of the beauty of birth—a woman opening to give life to her child. The design also exudes connection—which emphasizes the bond of mother and child.
