Our Services
Tokyo Midwife Inc. develops three interconnected services that gently bridge medical, language, and cultural gaps—with the aim of creating a society where every international family who comes to Japan can truly feel,
“Giving birth in Japan was the right choice,”
and
“Raising my child in Japan feels right.”
International Family Support
Pregnancy, Birth, and Parenting Support for International Families
For international families experiencing pregnancy, birth, and parenting in Japan, we serve as the first point of contact—listening closely to concerns that arise from differences in language, culture, and the Japanese healthcare system.
We help families organize their situation, clarify what they need, and think through the next steps together.
When appropriate, we introduce and coordinate with trusted midwives and other qualified professionals.
Our services are also available to companies that support international employees and their families, including consultation systems and employee benefit programs.
Whether you are an individual or a corporate representative, there is no need to search from scratch—we provide a reliable starting point.
Even after referrals are made, we continue to coordinate and follow up with all parties as needed, so that families can receive ongoing support with confidence and continuity.
From pregnancy through the parenting years, we walk alongside families through consultation, referral, and follow-up—offering continuous, compassionate guidance.
Please note:
Actual medical or caregiving services are provided by the referred midwives and professionals under their own professional responsibility and expertise.
In some cases, the CEO may also provide care in her individual capacity as one of the affiliated midwives of Tokyo Midwife.
Josanshi English®︎
Josanshi English®︎ offers opportunities for Japanese midwives and all maternal and child health professionals who work with international pregnant and postpartum families to learn gentle, practical English communication they can use immediately in real clinical settings.
As Japan’s first program specializing in English communication for maternity care, this initiative is offered not only to individual healthcare professionals but also as training programs for hospitals and local governments.
Our Programs
- Obstetric English Online School
- Obstetric English video courses and online seminars
- English communication programs for hospitals and municipalities,
specialized in obstetrics and maternal–child health
Rather than focusing on rigid, highly technical “medical English,” we support professionals in learning clear, simple English expressions that allow smooth and understandable communication—even when English is a second language for both patients and providers.
