About Us

LCM, PLLC was founded in 2009 by K.Michelle Doyle, CNM, NYS LM. We specialize in Planned Home Birth Services as well as personalized Well Woman Care. From annual gynecological visits and preconception visits, to attending birth in a client’s home, we provide midwifery care for women of all ages and in all stages of life.

Office visits are generally an hour long, providing plenty of time for client questions and concerns to be addressed. Labor and birth are attended in the client’s home by K. Michelle Doyle, CNM, NYS LM as well as a highly trained midwife assistant. We carry a variety of supplies at all times to provide for client comfort as well as possible emergencies.

To provide high quality, individualized care we set limits on LCM’s practice. Planned home births are generally within a 60 mile radius of LCM’s office in Troy, NY (see map below). We also limit the number of pregnant clients that take on for any given month.

If you are considering planned home birth, desire personalized Well Woman care, are looking for lactation support or Craniosacral therapy, please call the office to see if Local Care Midwifery, PLLC is a good fit for your needs.
