My husband and I did a lot of research pre-pregnancy on the experience we wanted in pregnancy and birth. We came to the conclusion that a birthing center was the right fit for us, and that is what brought us to Casa Natal. When I walked into my very first appointment at 10 weeks I knew it was the right decision. The hour long appointments had me feeling like of all mine, as well as my husbands questions were answered. I loved that they included him and wanted him to feel included too. I felt so comfortable at the office as it is not your typical doctors office setting, it feels more like home. You spend the 9 months having appointments with all the midwives so when it comes time to give birth you know exactly who will be helping you deliver your baby. When we got closer to birth my midwives made sure I was ready, and also made sure I had all the information possible to make all the informed decisions I needed to make regarding my daughter and myself. Labor/Birth was incredible. It was not scary at all like so many had made it out to be, and I truly believe this is because of my caring and patient midwives. They provided me with all the tools to get as prepared as possible (breastfeeding classes, encouraging childbirth classes, providing lists of local doulas to work with etc...) Sarah and Shannon supported me yet allowed me to listen to what my body was doing. I want to relive the day over and over again. Thank you Melissa, Sarah, Shannon, Emily, and all the midwives at Casa Natal for making the experience a pretty incredible one for my husband and I. We will never forget the birth of our baby girl!

The center is BEAUTIFUL and also has huge tubs you are actually allowed to birth in, unlike other (all to my knowledge) local hospitals that do not allow water births. The perfect in between if you do not really want to do a home birth but want a home birth-like experience in a very gorgeous and peaceful setting! It is also super close to a hospital should you need it (most people do not) and while not needed was great for my peace of mind. They also have a call line where you can ask questions postpartum that is very helpful. Overall, I had a beautiful birth thanks to them and am very grateful. Birth is something you only do a once or a few times in your life, will remember forever, and I am very glad I got to experience this with the team at Casa Natal.

(Thankfully most people do not but it was nice for my peace of mind given that I did have some risk factors.) The entire team is very kind and caring and will provide very personal care throughout your pregnancy/postpartum period.

The entire team brings a perfect balance of expertise, compassion, and calm confidence that makes such a huge difference during pregnancy and birth.

The environment is peaceful, beautifully maintained, and intentionally designed to help you feel at ease. My birth experience could not have been more positive. I felt safe, in control, and fully supported by a team that truly honors the birthing process. If you're looking for a place where you will be treated as an individual, respected in your choices, and surrounded by skilled, caring professionals, Casa Natal is the one.

And my vision came to fruition with SCMW. I was truly able to be present in my body and embrace every minute of my birthing celebration. There were plenty of times where I felt that I couldn't do it and they knew just what to say, or not to say to give me the encouragement to keep pushing--LITERALLY lol! Im already talking about our next baby and how I cannot wait and our sons only two months old! Cannot say thank you enough to SCMW! With our first son I was the typical hospital story of water breaking and then being pumped full of pitocin. It. Was. HORRIBLE!! I diligently searched for a midwife team who would suggest alternative options if it came down to that. Emily, Stephanie and Sharon were like my three guardian angels. Shooting me a txt every now and then asking me about my back pain and suggesting I go see their acupuncturist who is absolutely the best, and severely reduced my back pain. I ran outta prenatals and they had some in the office. I was having some issues with yeast and they had something for that. Since my pregnancy was through pandemic sometimes I used my appointments just to talk and cry and they were totally ok with that. By the end of the 9 months it felt like they were my aunts and sisters. It was such a different feeling and experience than at the hospital, and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat! We love the SC midwives!

I am so grateful to them We first met and decided to work with them last August. I had a miscarriage during the CZU Complex fires. Emily and Samaya (Arrow Acupuncture) supported me through the miscarriage with massage, acupuncture & herbs and I got pregnant again right away in September. My partner and I loved our visits with the midwives. They always started by asking what questions we had. We felt totally comfortable asking them anything that came to mind from logistics to spiritual and emotional questions. We really wanted my partner to see the ultrasound and they recommended an awesome tech in Los Gatos (Scan Babies) where he and my mom & dad got to see our little guy with me. I gave birth at home and the birth was amazing! I felt as prepared as I could have been for my first birth. We had the support of a doula (Gretchen Retka) for the early stages of labor, so Emily and the rest of the team arrived closer to the end of labor. After the birth the care was wonderful. I had a tear that Sharon stitched right on my bed. Our son was born with Tachypnea and the midwives recommended we transfer to the NICU at Dominican. As sad as we were to leave the house and go to the hospital, the transfer was very efficient and professional. The midwives gave us great support through the hospital stay and once we returned home. I love that they host gatherings for their clients at the park so we can get to know each other and get to see the babies grow. I wholeheartedly recommend this amazing team!

We also discussed things I was worried about and how she could ease those fears. Right from the get-go I knew she'd be a huge help and I was excited to have her attend my labor. As the weeks passed and we waited for me son to arrive, she continued to send me resources and remind me that if I had any questions she would be happy to help. I loved how on top of things she was as I was busy keeping track of my toddler while feeling very pregnant. Finally, the day arrived to have my son and Shana was such a blessing to have present for it. When I texted to say labor might be starting, she offered to come over and even if labor didn't progress, was happy to stay with me to make sure she would be there for the labor when it did happen. We thought it might be a precipitous labor considering my first came in 8 hours. I didn't have a doula for the birth of my first, so it was a delight to have Shana there for my second more difficult birth experience. I was hoping that my second birth experience would be shorter than the first, however, when labor proved to take about as long as the first but with more intense contractions I was disappointed and found myself struggling. What worked for me through my first labor wasn't working as well this time and having Shana's support was invaluable. She was right there with me, softly saying soothing words of encouragement, gently massaging me, and physically supporting my head while I was in the birth pool. Her support kept me calm and gave me faith that I could make it through. Her constant reminders on how to breathe through the contractions and keep my cries low and grounded were a huge help as contractions intensified and the pain grew. Prior to labor I had taped encouraging quotes up on the wall above my labor space which I was too lost in labor land to pay any attention to, but she started reading them to me. Having those quotes to give my mind focus through labor provided a boost that I wouldn't have had without her. Shana was exceptional at noticing what I needed without having to say anything. Throughout my labor she was calm and ready to help in any way I needed, her presence as labor went on through that long night was invaluable and I could not recommend her more.
