Horrible and dangerous experience. She let me become severely dehydrated and throw up so much I threw up black (internal bleeding). Refused to give me an IV when asked even though that's a skill that she advertised and told me she could do. (That was a big reason I hired her). She took forever to get to me when I called the day of. Was very slow to get me out the door to the hospital when I realized I was not safe with her. She then left me immediately once I got there. She didn't respond to texts and calls the next day when I needed support and had questions about my newborn. I'm so lucky that my baby and I ended up OK but there are many similar stories of women who are NOT after attempting homebirth and it causes trauma. It's a risk trusting one person with the life of you and your precious baby. Don't make my same mistake!!! Hospitals in Vermont are great. read more

I had to reluctantly switch care from Sienna due to problems with my insurance, but Sienna was incredibly helpful and supportive up until that point and even beyond. She made herself available for all of my questions, related to my pregnancy and billing. I didn't feel rushed when meeting with her, and she responded to my emails in less than a day almost every time. When I told her I had to switch care due to my insurance, she was not only understanding, but very supportive and encouraging. Although I didn't get to have her as my home birth midwife after all, I will still be recommending her to others. read more

Sienna was my midwife and teammate. She was right there with me through the couple of tough roadbumps in my pregnancy. She was great at talking me through contractions and was there to support me and answer my abundant set of questions. The care after birth was the best. After each visit I felt much more calm and confident. read more

I worked with Sienna right up until my baby was delivered in the hospital due to unforeseen circumstances. My entire pregnancy, Sienna listened to me, respected my decisions, and provided evidence-based information to help me make decisions about my care. She is grounded in her love for taking care of women and their babies and to help families embrace all that being pregnant, giving birth and becoming a parent entails. I never doubted that homebirth would be an amazing experience and Sienna would be the right person for my family. read more

I look back on every moment spent with Sienna fondly. She was there for me through the pregnancies and births of my two daughters. What I appreciate most about Sienna is the way in which she holds space. My prenatal visits with her were the time out that I needed to check in with myself, baby and to build a relationship with Sienna in preparation for the next transition. My birthing experiences (one in the hospital and one at home) were allowed to be driven by baby's needs/timeline; Sienna was the perfect steward able to guide decisions best for baby and mom in the most gentle of ways even if it was something unexpected. She held the space for my baby, partner and I to experience birth. And, my connection to Sienna was perhaps most deepened in the days after the birth of my girls. In those home visits where she supported me with nursing advice, loved on my newborns, and gave me valuable bits of confidence as I became a mother. She is a genuine spirit and her work is rooted in her knowledge in the science of childbearing and birth and yet perfectly wrapped with warmth and her ability to connect personally with a client. She heard every worry, fear, excitement, or vision, acknowledged and shared it, and helped me to move forward. Our family just loves her so. read more
