About EKD Midwifery
EKD Midwifery is an independent solo micropractice founded by Elaine Keller-Duemig, CNM, LM, based in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn. Designed as a deliberate departure from rushed, high-volume healthcare systems, the practice centers on unhurried, relational care where your voice, history, and goals lead the conversation.
Grounded in two decades of clinical experience—spanning Labor & Delivery nursing, over a decade of full-scope midwifery practice, and practice leadership—EKD Midwifery provides evidence-based, compassionate care across all reproductive and life stages. Whether navigating routine gynecological health, cycle changes, family planning, or birth, clients receive attentive, individualized continuity of care rooted in informed choice and complete bodily autonomy.
Care Modalities:
- In-Person Care: Clinical wellness visits, exams, and consultations at the Bed-Stuy micropractice.
- Telehealth Consultations: Accessible, comprehensive virtual visits for clients across New York, New Jersey, and Wisconsin.
- Hospital Birth Attendance: Dedicated intrapartum support and deliveries at Mount Sinai West in Manhattan or Wyckoff Heights Medical Center.
Core Clinical Offerings & Areas of Focus
- Annual Well-Person & Preventive Care: Unhurried annual pelvic and breast exams, cervical cancer screening (Pap/HPV), STI screening and prevention, and holistic lifestyle discussions.
- Perimenopause & Menopause Navigation: Individualized, evidence-based management of hormonal transitions, vasomotor symptoms, cycle irregularities, and long-term bone/cardiovascular wellness.
- Preconception & Fertility Counseling: Comprehensive cycle tracking, pre-pregnancy optimization, laboratory workups, and collaborative family-building guidance.
- Problem-Focused Gynecology: Evaluation and management of abnormal bleeding, pelvic pain, recurrent infections, and contraceptive counseling/management.
