Hi! I’m Marea Goodman, LM, CPM (they/them).

I’m a licensed midwife who specializes in supporting the LGBTQ+ community throughout conception, pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period.

I got my midwifery license from the California Medical Board in 2015 and founded my midwifery practice, Restore Midwifery, in 2016 in the Bay Area.

I’m the co-author of the book, Baby Making for Everybody—Fertility and Family Building for LGBTQ+ and Solo Parents, and the founder of PregnantTogether— a virtual community for queer folks and solo parents from TTC through parenting.

I’m deeply passionate about empowering people with the information they need and deserve to grow their families, and fighting against the isolation endemic in our culture. My work has been featured in Cosmopolitan, Vogue, Autostraddle, Mother.ly, Ms. Magazine, Huffington Post, and others.

What I’m most proud of is getting to be the parent of my three kids.
