About
Located in Tsumagoi Village, Agatsuma District, Gunma Prefecture, Takizawa Midwifery Clinic was established in 2003 by certified midwife Emi Takizawa, who specializes in home-visit services. Rather than receiving clients at a facility, the clinic operates primarily through home visits, providing community-based personalized care. Postpartum care services include breastfeeding support, bathing guidance, breastfeeding counseling, and infant massage. The clinic also supports open-system births (through San-in NeNe). The midwife brings extensive experience, having worked as a nurse at a general hospital before attending midwifery school, followed by training at the Nagano Prefecture Midwifery Post-Graduate Training Center and Yoshimura Clinic. Currently serving as a part-time midwife at Nishi-Agatsuma Welfare Hospital, she also handles prefectural midwifery association contract services including parenting classes, newborn home visits, and prenatal visits, playing a vital role in regional maternal and child health. Guided by the philosophy of "supporting each person's life journey whether they give birth, do not give birth, or cannot give birth," the clinic emphasizes gentle, pain-free breastfeeding care techniques and prioritizes appropriate referrals to medical institutions when necessary (distinguishing between Care and Cure). The ability to communicate in multiple languages, including English, is another distinctive feature of this clinic.
