Denise and Sabrina were absolutely amazing throughout my entire pregnancy and birth experience. Every prenatal appointment was thorough, personal, and reassuring--they always made me feel heard and supported. Although they arrived about five minutes after our baby was born, I truly believe it was meant to be for my husband and I to be alone during the delivery of our 3rd baby. They immediately stepped in to complete all the postpartum care, made sure both baby and I were healthy, gave the vitamin K, weighed and examined the baby, helped clean everything up, and even got me showered and comfortably into bed. Their kindness, professionalism, and calm presence meant so much to our family. I couldn't have asked for better midwives and am incredibly grateful for their care. read more

I just had my son here a few months ago. And I am genuinely impressed and satisfied with the care team. They made me feel comfortable, seen, and supported the entire process. They answered every question with thought and sincerity. And they were all-in-all very thorough with everything that was done, making my experience feel very safe and comfortable. I appreciate all their hard work and dedication and would recommend them to any pregnant women out there looking for a birth center/ midwifery care. Definitely recommend, you'll be in great hands! Thank you Denise, Amanda, & Sabrina for making the experience of bringing my third baby into the world, a great one! read more

AA Midwifery Center - My son at one of our appointments here with Amanda. He loved them just as much as I did! - Midwives Near Me - Chino, California

AA Midwifery was the absolute best choice my husband and I could've made for our first pregnancy and birth. We toured the facility before finding out we were pregnant and knew immediately that it was the right fit for us. The atmosphere is calm and inviting (which is what I was looking for since I knew I wanted an alternative to the hospital) and that is because of the wonderful midwives. Denise and Alyssa offer the kind of care I wish was the standard for every expecting mom. They take the time to educate you, listen to your questions, and in the end, you leave feeling empowered and excited to give birth after every appointment! I could not have been more grateful for our experience and we're already looking forward to using them again for our next birth. Don't hesitate to check them out because you won't regret it! read more

First of all I would like to say I live in south orange country and I picked Denise to be my midwife. And I know you might be going why the heck would you drive 1hr when there's probably lots of options where I live. Well let me tell you why I know Denise and her team is the best fit for me and my baby. 1. My sister had all her babies with Denise present at each one of them (5 to be correct) and they were all safely delivered. 2. I knew I didn't want a hospital birth as there's been more cases for "emergency C-sections" when in reality the hospital did not exhaust all options before proceeding to c-section. (Yes, I know there still is a chance but Denise explains EVERYTHING to you and provides examples on when a transfer required for the safety of the mom and baby) 3. She hasn't lost a mom or baby. Which is very important because she puts the mom and baby first before any of what would make her stats look good. 4. I went in for a tour and immediately felt at home. I wanted to know I felt safe and comfortable because I'm terrified to give birth like who isn't? Especially as a first time soon to be mom this is scary. But Denise and her team makes all of those nerves and anxiety that you have disappear. 5. She's worth it in every aspect I can think of. If you are worried about cost they don't require to pay up front in full. As some places do. She lets you know the cost and what your payment options are so you can plan for it financially. 6. All the doctors and other referrals she works with is well vetted that she won't send you somewhere that she wouldn't go to herself if she was in your position. 7. Lastly I went in unannounced because silly me forgot to schedule for the tour. She had a patient in labor so the tour was canceled. but still took the time to let me come in chatted with me for a bit and she could tell I was so nervous and I told her I haven't gone to the OB yet and I'm scared I'm not pregnant anymore. One small action on her part made me go yes, she's the one for me. I'll drive from OC to come here because I know no where else would compare to the level of service, knowledge, and kindness I would get from here. I also got to meet Alyssa who was SO nice and warm. Like I just knew this is where my baby will be born. The rooms are also very warm and inviting not sterile feeling at all. So if you're thinking of having your baby with a midwife I cannot stress enough to schedule a tour meet Denise and her team. Trust me the moment you step in you will feel right at home. read more

I had a great experience! Both Denise and Alyssa were great. Giving birth is beautiful and you're in a vulnerable position ( especially a water birth). Not once did they make me feel uncomfortable, they were kind, gentle, and encouraging. Thank you so much! read more

I've met extraordinary people, but you surpassed all expectations. When I was searching for someone to help me give birth to my son, I set out to find the best in their essence and knowledge. It took me a long time to connect with you, but when the moment arose, it was magical and inexplicable. Without pretenses, without rushing, or prejudices, we both flowed. When the time came for my son to arrive, that September 13, 2025, at 9:40 p.m., God and life would teach us one last life lesson together. Everything was going very well with my pregnancy and delivery until a hemorrhage after my birth surprised us both, although I never doubted I was in the best hands--God's, of course, and yours. Your knowledge from the beginning and your recommendations helped me tremendously to be able to enjoy my life in these moments. You guided me like a true professional, and at the time of the emergency, you didn't doubt your instinct and knowledge for a moment. You accompanied me, holding not only my hand but also my husband's. Thanks to you, your professionalism, and your expertise, we can remember that day as something magical and powerful, but without romanticizing the moment. Thank you so much, AA Midwifery, but above all, thank you, Denise Mungia, for being my little angel. I will bless your life and purpose for the rest of my life. read more

As a first time mom, I only wanted the best for my baby and me. I started out with an OB at Care for Women's, but switched to midwifery care shortly after. My husband and I did a tour with Denise and it went so great that we put our deposit down as soon as it was over. I could see the difference in the quality of care with a midwife immediately. First off, the atmosphere at the birth center is very inviting and makes you feel right at home. Denise and Alyssa are so kind, supportive, and make you feel comfortable. They are the best and were such a dream to work with. I had a wonderful pregnancy and every appointment went smoothly. I always looked forward to coming in. They provided me with so much knowledge and answered all of my questions. I never felt rushed with either of them. Denise has amazing referrals for anything you need. I've gone to a few a them and have always been happy. She also works with an incredible backup OB, Dr. Lamberty. You do an OB visit with him at the end of your pregnancy that way he's able to deliver your baby if you transfer to the hospital. I began early labor at 39 weeks and when things weren't progressing as they should have, Denise had me come in for an NST. My baby's heart rate dipped for a longer than normal period during the test. She immediately contacted Dr. Lamberty and he advised me to come to the hospital for more tests. Denise met us there, helped us get checked in, and stayed with us for a few hours. We found out my fluids levels were too low and that I had been leaking amniotic fluid. So they told me I had to stay and deliver there. Dr. Lamberty didn't push any type of induction on me. He gave me the chance to let my body labor on its own to see how I progressed. Labor progressed just fine and my healthy baby boy was delivered by him the next day. Of course this was not the birth I planned for, but I will say that my hospital birth was a positive experience. I felt supported in my wishes and wasn't pressured to do anything. I'm so grateful for Denise using her expertise during my early labor, otherwise we wouldn't have known I needed more medical attention. So don't worry, you're in great hands no matter what happens! After my son's birth, we were seen by Denise and Alyssa for our postpartum and newborn care. These appointments have been so nice and we've loved getting to spend more time with them. They've taken such great care of me and my son. These two women will always be part of our family and hold a special place in our hearts. I would 1000% recommend getting midwifery care here. This is an experience I will always cherish and be grateful for. One of my biggest dreams is that more women can get midwifery care. This really should be the standard for us. Until then, I will keep spreading the word. read more

AA Midwifery Center - When you finally meet the little feet that have been kicking you for months! - Midwives Near Me - Chino, California

The whole team is amazing. I am a first time mom & they give actual prenatal care (not doctors check ins) & walk you through every aspect of pregnancy & birth prep. They also have amazing resources for birth classes, chiropractic, acupuncture, local doctors in case you need to go to- or deliver in- the hospital, pediatricians, it's just an amazing network I can't imagine going without! So grateful. read more

Denise and her team are an absolute dream- they were my saving grace after an unpleasant experience with another center. From my first contact with them, Mosi was extremely patient, caring and reassuring! I came into their care halfway through my pregnancy and I kick myself for not having started sooner. During our tour, Denise was so comforting about our situation to transfer care and any concerns we might've had, I immediately grasped her level of care and attention to detail, and my husband and I immediately knew we wanted her as our medical care professional. Denise and her team are so knowledgeable and you can trust that they want the best for you throughout your journey; they were constantly available to guide you in supplement care, nutritional care and physical care with a plethora of knowledge and a variety of solid recommendations! They also have great connections for referrals if you're wanting to add chiropractic care, acupuncturist, birth educators, doulas, etc. Before coming into AA Midwiferies care, I felt such a huge anxiety about what my birth experience would be, but as soon as I transferred care, I was calmed by the fact that I had found a team whose birth visions and support aligned with mine. Denise and Alyssa truly listen to your desires and any concern you may have. Each appointment is spent teaching you about your journey and guiding you to tune in with your body to ensure the best outcome for you and your baby. I looked forward to every appointment because Denise and Alyssa were always so warm, open and welcoming! And I looked forward to my birth because I knew I could trust in them. I am truly so grateful for these angel midwives in making my pregnancy and delivery such a positive one. They are the absolute best care in the IE! read more

AA Midwifery Center - Midwives Near Me - Chino, California

I had the best care I could have ever asked for here! Being a first time mom there is just so much you don't know. Denise made sure to give informative and gentle care to not only me, but my baby and my boyfriend. Each appointment she checked in on each one of us. The individualized care she provides helped me stay healthy throughout my whole pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Each appointment it so thorough and she genuinely cares about how you and the baby are doing. I'm so grateful for Denise and the whole team! We really looked forward to each appointment and felt so secure with Denise at our side for this journey! 100/10 would recommend! I'll be back for my next baby ! :) read more

I had the most amazing experience at the A&A BIRTHING CENTER. This experience was a dream come true since I enjoy everything natural and it was everything I hoped for. I don't even know where to begin. STAFF: Denise (midwife) from the moment I met her I felt a comforting connection, I knew this was the place for me. She and Alyssa were very caring, knowledgeable, professional, attentive and kind. They were always there to answer all of my questions no matter the hour, and boy, did I have questions! Mosi, works the front desk and is always very welcoming and greets you with a comforting smile on her face. They were like family as they knew you very well given that they were with me every step of the way. ATMOSPHERE: As soon as you walk into the birthing center you feel this homey vibe. The waiting room is so comfy as they have nice firm couches and plush pillows which is always a plus for me because I personally like something to grab for comfort. I really appreciated their calming aromatherapy options. It was excellent in helping bring me to a relaxing state during the birthing process. There are 2 rooms to choose from, both rooms have nice spacious bathtubs if you opt for a water birth, which I did, you have the option to choose your room. Both have comfortable beds as well. I loved the entire setting starting from the dim lighting to the relaxing soundtrack playing in the backround. As opposed to the hospitals who don't have the luxury of accommodating individuals based on their high volume of patients. At this birthing center, I was flattered to find that I would be the only mommy to be attended while in labor. The Bathrooms are very clean and well kept They were stocked with feminine products if needed. My guests had their designated washrooms as did I. I totally loved this setting, this place exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be returning for my next birthing experience. SERVICE: A&A Birth center has top tier service. I always looked forward to my next appointment with Denise and Alyssa. They always made me feel calm, afterall, it was my first pregnancy and naturally I had plenty of questions and concerns. The appointments were about an hour, I never felt rushed. They always spaced out their appointments in order to give their undivided attention to me. They treated me as if I were a family member by giving me special attention. We would go over my nutrition, exercise routines, and prenatal care. I was also very interested in breathing and relaxation given that I struggle with anxiety within tense situations. (I feel birth qualifies as a tense situation). I took a class on hypnotherapy which took place at the birthing center. I learned so much during these classes such as breathing techniques, relaxation, all of which came in handy during labor. Denise is also so well connected with so many people and providers that know all about pregnancy and postpartum. She gave me referrals for an OB GYN, pediatrician, chiropractor, lactation consultant, doulas', masseus', hypnobirthing, etc. All the providers she recommended were equally as amazing. What I liked about Denise was that she was so thorough and structured, she went over everything and options for your baby once born and never pushed certain treatments on me. The service is definitely a 5 STAR treatment. I just felt heard and always went home with a smile on my face. WATERBIRTH EXPERIENCE: I got there around 2:45am and both Denise and Alyssa were waiting for me. I really loved that my fiancé, my mom, and my sister were able to witness my birth, of course, with necessary COVID protocals in place (at home covid tests were taken). As soon as Denise saw me and checked me she told me I was ready. I was in the bathtub around 3:00am. Denise made me feel empowered to trust my body up to the point of birth. I felt supported every second. Whenever I felt painful contractions, Alyssa reminded me to breathe and to remember my hypnobirthing techniques. When it was finally time to push they encouraged me to release any fear that was holding me back. My baby was born at 7:15 am. Denise caught my baby and quickly placed her on me for skin to skin contact. I was able to bond with my baby for a few hours. We were released around 11am and I was sent home with a postpartum kit and instructions. I went back to my postpartum appointment 2 days after for a check up, where Denise helped me with breastfeeding guidance. I returned 2 weeks later and finally then again for my 6 week post partum visit. Again every visit was very informative and helpful, they were all very excited to see my babys growth! To conclude I had the most amazing experience, I will definitely come back to Denise and Alyssa when I give birth to my 2nd child. If you all want a great experience and service A &A will definitely exceed all your expectations! read more

I could write a book on how amazing our experience was here from our first appointment to our last postpartum visit, but this will have to suffice! A strong connection from the start, tender and personalized prenatal care, peaceful and supportive labor, and just as invested postpartum care. Here's a quick version of our experience From the moment my husband and I walked in, we instantly felt a connection. Then finding out they have a natural-minded approach - just like us - won us over! I loved the tour; it all felt so cozy, clean, and calm in this birth center that I thought, "this is it!" Our midwife, Denise, politely and passionately explained to us everything AA Midwifery has to offer in prenatal and postpartum care. All of our questions were answered thoughtfully and transparently. If there's anything they don't offer, they have many trusted referrals to suggest. I love that they even have a mini library of books you can check out! (I checked out a few myself) Rest assured, there are no judgements here, all views are respected and delicately handled (of course mutual respect should always be practiced!) Their office manager, Mosy, made getting an appointment and having communication to the birth center easy. At every appointment I felt like the only pregnant mama in the world, that's how individualized the care is here! It was not a quick 15 min. OB appointment, but rather a 45 min. to an hour (sometimes longer hehee) appointment of covering every aspect of care possible for me and my baby in each stage including nutrition, emotional support, and natural ways to stay healthy and feel better if I was having any issues. Denise and the midwife students Ana, Irene, and Alyssa made us feel like family. It felt like I was going to see some close friends or family while making sure me and my baby were healthy. Every question or concern we had was answered promptly, which had us feeling very confident about our journey. Our birth was everything and more! My labor surges began at 12:30am, so I thought alright it's time to braid my hair and put my breathing techniques to work! Before coming in, I was having both back and abdominal pains, so Denise kindly sent me exercises to do at 2am so baby could turn from his posterior position to the anterior position. Thankfully they worked and we headed to the birth center at 4am! There's no comparison between birthing at the center and our previous hospital birth; the support and peacefulness we experienced was magical. Upon arrival, Denise, Ana, and Irene were waiting for us. I was checked an already at 7cm so into the tub I went! The amazing guidance I had helped me to control the pain from my surges (most of the time!) since I was so comfortable and relaxed in the tub, keeping my mind at ease was a breeze which translated to my body being at ease. With baby having his little hand up causing me back pain, I needed that calmness lol. Having my husband there by my side and these wonderful ladies ensuring that our health and serenity were all protected made me feel so confident about this birth, it all went by so quickly! After changing into different positions in the tub several times and only a few pushes, my baby boy was born swimming at 6:29am on 2-22-2022 He was checked thoroughly and so was I. We were both great thankfully! At each postpartum visit my son and I had wonderful care. His height and weight changes were checked, we had breastfeeding guidance, and I was checked thoroughly for any issues. They handled us with great care, always so gentle! Thank you AA Midwifery for treating us like family and joining us on our magical pregnancy and birth journey I'll surely miss going in regularly to see you lovely ladies! I'll be sure to visit! read more

If you're looking for a safe, comfortable, caring place to have an out-of-hospital birth, look no more! Denise and the staff here are so caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. Everything they do is evidence-based, and I found them to be more diligent about labs, tests, etc than my doctor's office--but also able to view circumstances as individual cases/people, rather than giving the same textbook review and responses to everyone. They helped me navigate issues during pregnancy as well as delivery in a way that was seamless and treated me and my child as whole human beings. Following my delivery, my baby had unexpected issues (not related to her delivery or the care here) that required us to be taken to the hospital. Denise acted quickly, calmly delivering the care necessary to keep me and the baby well while calling for an ambulance to take us to the hospital. Thankfully, the issue quickly resolved and everyone was fine, but you should know that Denise and her team are professionals who know when something is out of the scope of a birth center and will not hesitate to ensure their patients get hospital care if needed. Additionally, the ambiance here is just so soothing and perfect for a birth experience. It is extremely clean and well-maintained, while still feeling homey and super comfortable. We had the place to ourselves when birthing my child and felt right at home. While waiting for contractions to intensify, I was able to take a walk, sit in the tub, and bounce on a yoga ball. I highly recommend this birth center to anyone with a low-risk pregnancy. You will love it! read more

I have nothing but amazing things to say about my midwife Denise! I truly felt welcomed and heard throughout my entire pregnancy, birth, and even postpartum! I'm honored and proud to say I was cared by with this birth center. I will forever cherish Denise for helping me bring life to this world!!! read more

AA Midwifery Center - Baby Luna Gianna Born June 12, 2021 at 3:16 am - Midwives Near Me - Chino, California

I had such an amazing experience at AA Midwifery! The birth center is so beautiful and calming. I toured a couple Birth centers in the surrounding areas before settling on AA Midwifery and none of the other birth centers felt as calm and relaxing as AA Midwifery. The birth center itself has a huge lobby area with tons of chairs and couches, a nice fully equipped kitchen to use when you're in labor, two beautifully unique birthing suites that you get to choose from, a prenatal appointment room, and a postpartum appointment room where they do the first 6 week newborn/ postpartum appointments. Every prenatal appointment is like 45-60 mins long which is so much time to go over everything in detail and to not feel rushed like you do in a hospital. You feel like you're the only birthing mom because the way they schedule appointments it's never more than a couple moms in the facility at a time most of the time it's usually just you. You never have to wait & on the off chance you do, it's no more than 5 minutes tops if that. They have many different essential oils to choose from when you're in labor & they even have a library of great books to borrow during your pregnancy if you'd like. The staff at AA Midwifery are so welcoming and friendly. Denise is the main midwife and she is SO knowledgeable on all things birth. Raven and Alyssa are the other midwives and they are equally as great, knowledgeable, and attentive to your needs. Mosi works the front desk and she is the one who does a lot of the email correspondence. She is very fast at calling or emailing you back & always greets you with a smile when you come to your appointments. Everyone at AA is like a family and when you join their care you really feel apart of the family. My birth experience: My birth plan didn't go to plan but it was more wonderful than I could've imagined! At 41 weeks at 3 days I ended up delivering my son at home on our bed because I didn't realize how far along I was & didn't make it in time to go to the birth center (my fault). When my team realized I'm probably farther along than I thought they had to work FAST and they sure did! Denise quickly came to my side at home to help me deliver that way. She always has all the birth center things ready to go for situations like mine. She stayed on the phone with me and coached while driving to me. Alyssa came a couple minutes after Denise & she got to catch my baby for me. Denise told me how to breath and helped me get him out effectively in just a couple pushes with ZERO tearing! Raven showed up as well after my baby boy came out and helped with all the afterbirth tests. I did delayed cord clamping until I delivered my placenta & they even told/showed me all the fascinating things about my placenta. They hung out and didn't rush me while my husband and I got to bond with our baby for over an hour. Im so thankful for how thorough the midwives are to make sure mom and baby are completely okay before leaving because my baby ended up having breathing issues & his oxygen wasn't staying at the level they felt comfortable with. They acted so fast with all the tools and medical equipment to help keep his oxygen levels up. They didn't freak out either and they helped me stay calm as well. After they did everything we collectively felt it was best for him to have further monitoring at the hospital just to make sure. So we ended up going to the hospital about 4 hours after birth (not ideal, but definitely best for my individual situation and peace of mind). Denise was so wonderful & stayed by my side the whole time! She even talked to the medical staff and explained everything that was going on. Raven & Alyssa stayed at my home & cleaned everything up while we were gone! Everything ended up being fine with my baby boy so we got to go back home, yay! When my husband and I got back home later that night our home looked so clean as if I didn't accidentally deliver my baby there. I'm so thankful they were they were so thorough especially when things didn't go to plan. The postpartum visits were great too! At the appointments they do a full body assessment on baby & mom and even belly bind you with a material if you want some extra belly support. I truly am so thankful for this team to be with me and help me during labor and delivery. I would definitely go to them again if I were to have another pregnancy! If you're still on the fence about AA Midwifery, please just call to go meet Denise yourself and take a tour so you can understand what us moms who've experienced AA Midwifery are raving about. Thank you Denise and thank you AA Midwifery! read more
