Since 2013
Perhe-Arte was founded in Lahti in 2013 as a nurse-led medical center with the purpose of providing services for women, children, and families. Over the years, however, our services have focused on pregnancy and the early months with a baby. We have a diverse team of professionals who share a common passion for providing the best possible care during pregnancy and the surrounding period. You will find midwives, maternity physiotherapists, sexuality professionals, osteopaths, a gynecologist, and professionals offering psychological support.
During the first couple of years, clients had boldly crossed the Ring III boundary and traveled from the capital region to see a midwife in Lahti. We decided to make our clients’ everyday lives easier and come closer to them. In 2015, our operations expanded to Helsinki when the midwife moved to where the client flow was. Over the years, our appeal has surprised us many times. Our clients come to us from a wider area than we ever imagined. Since 2021, Perhe-Arte’s services have also been available to those in Pirkanmaa, when we opened a location in Tampere.
With Warmth, Individually
Perhe-Arte was founded out of a desire to work in a client-centered manner, with warmth and emphasizing individuality. It is important to us that every client feels genuinely seen. Every family’s feelings are unique and every person’s experience is different.
There is no single right way in any matter, not in pregnancy or parenting either. Matters should be approached with an open mind and a sensitive ear. This is what we strive for in our work every day.
We hear your feelings, often sense them even if you do not say them aloud, and we strive to find the right keys to opening and understanding matters.
We record information in an electronic patient information system, which also has a Kanta connection. This way, all essential information is available to the professionals caring for you, wherever you receive care. Over the years, we have also refined our care pathways and we have clear operating models for early pregnancy situations as well as later in pregnancy. We do everything we can to ensure that matters proceed as smoothly as possible between public services and the private sector. Our systems also ensure the proper implementation of data protection. So come with confidence!
We Listen
We want to be easily approachable and genuinely present for you. There is no matter or question that you cannot bring to us. Often, contact with us begins even before arriving at the appointment, when our customer service is the first point of contact to confirm either the right service or its appropriate timing, for example in connection with an early pregnancy ultrasound. Our customer service is happy to answer your calls and messages, so please contact us without hesitation. Those famous silly questions do not exist.
At our appointments, we believe in the power of knowledge and understanding; our clients know themselves and we know our work—by combining these two, we achieve an understanding that helps us approach matters effectively.
It is not always easy, but it is often enlightening and relieving. This is especially important when preparing for childbirth or processing your own birth experience.
For You
We are here for you—we hope to be your best friend during pregnancy, honest and genuine as ourselves. We do not hide behind titles; instead, you will meet mothers and women, people who happen to have quite a lot of knowledge related to their field. And all that knowledge is also at your disposal.
Welcome to meet all of us!
