About
Kinu Midwifery Clinic, located in Moriyama Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture, has been providing compassionate care to pregnant women, mothers, and their families in the local community since its opening in April 2005. Director Kinuyo Ieki began her career in 1971, accumulating extensive experience at general hospitals and clinics. She is a member of the Japan Midwives Association and holds multiple qualifications, including certification as an adolescent health counselor and teaching licenses for elementary school and kindergarten. The clinic offers a wide range of services spanning from pregnancy through the child-rearing period, including prenatal care, breastfeeding consultations, breast massage, postpartum care, and weaning food advice. The clinic is particularly well-regarded for addressing breastfeeding-related concerns and maintains a coordinated referral system with breast surgery specialists. Postpartum care services include 3-hour stay options and home visit support, ensuring accessible assistance even for those with limited family help at home. Clients have shared positive feedback such as "no waiting time and as comfortable as being at home" and "they listened carefully and helped ease my anxieties." English-language services are available, and on-site parking is provided. The clinic operates on weekdays and Saturdays from 9:00 to 17:00, by appointment only.
