Our founder Jodilyn Owen is a midwife and maternal health systems strategist with more than two decades of experience supporting families through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Over the years, she noticed a pattern. Many of the questions, worries, decisions, and moments that mattered most happened outside of appointments. Families were often left to navigate uncertainty on their own while exceptional providers worked within increasingly busy and fragmented healthcare systems.

She saw firsthand how deeply uncertainty and anxiety can shape the journey into motherhood—and how profoundly continuous, relationship-centered support can ease that burden.

She believed there had to be a better way.

Lentia & Co was created to bring continuity, clarity, and thoughtful support back to the pregnancy experience. Through the Lentia Alongside Care Model™, families receive personalized midwife-led guidance that helps them prepare for appointments, participate confidently in healthcare decisions, and process recommendations, results, and next steps along the way.

The goal is simple: to ensure that no family has to navigate pregnancy, birth, and postpartum alone.

Why Lentia?

Lentia is inspired by the concept of Festina Lente—Latin for Make Haste Slowly.

To us, it means moving toward what matters with intention, integrity, and thoughtful attention. It means making thoughtful decisions, tending to the details, and creating space for both wisdom and action.

Pregnancy, birth, and becoming a parent are profound transitions. They deserve meaningful relationships, trusted guidance, and the confidence that comes from feeling truly supported along the way.

That belief is at the heart of Lentia and the Alongside Care Model™.
