Eloisa and Hillary helped me through my first pregnancy and birth, which coincided with the…read moreCOVID-19 pandemic. They were caring, supportive, and helpful throughout, making sure my husband and I both felt heard and cared for. During the birth--which didn't go exactly as planned--they were capable, encouraging, and made me feel safe in spite of pain and fear. After the baby was born, we struggled for her to gain weight. Eloisa was there for us 100%, answering texts at all hours, lending us baby scales, and connecting us with specialists. She even helped us source safe donor breast milk. We loved working with Eloisa and Hillary and would do so again in a heartbeat. Highly recommended.

Eloisa, Gloria, and Mila are a great team, each of them have their own special talents. I was so…read moreglad to have them on my side through the whole pregnancy, childbirth and post-partum experience! Like the other reviewer said, they are extremely professional - always on time for appointments and they're good at communicating by text, phone, and email. At first I thought 3 midwives would be too many people but they were all essential to the process. They are on top of the medical side of things, they were able to coach me through some complications, administer an IV and stitches. They were so encouraging and helpful during the birth, stayed with me for hours afterwards to make sure we were both doing great, and even did a load of laundry! I woke up to clean clothes the next day : ) I can't recommend these ladies enough. Each of them are so compassionate and dedicated to their art. Midwives will hold your hand and walk you from hell to heaven. Such a great experience!

Had me wait so long to come in I just went to the hospital and was 8cm dialeted and had the baby…read morewithin 30 minutes of going there. Didn't really take me seriously when I felt like I needed to come in until I said my doula wanted me to come in but at that point I was in so much pain I wanted epidural. Eloisa also recommended I drink beer while having contractions or some shots. Alcohol is a blood thinner so I can't imagine that's a remotely smart recommendation especially if I did end up taking pain medication for labor, as well as it still being able to be ingested by the baby. St Joseph's was actually really great I loved every single nurse and doctor I met and I had such a significantly good experience going there. I was there for 3 days and in the future if I ever have children again I'm going to st Joseph's. The nurses there were so sweet it actually made me sad that I will never see them again I'd recommend st Joseph's 100%. Definitely seems like eloisa is a bit more in it for the money. Which of course a jib is about money but she lacks any passion, Haley was pretty nice but I barely saw her. ​​​​​​

I am so happy to have delivered my healthy baby boy here. The midwives were welcoming and…read moreknowledgeable and always helpful. My experience has been better than I ever expected! I was taken care of well before, during, and after my labor.

After finally becoming pregnant, it was only natural to continue seeing the naturopathic midwife I…read morehad been seeing for my infertility. She already knew my history, and I had always known that she would be there to deliver my precious baby should I be so lucky to have one. Dr. Kim Bauer is very experienced, extremely loving and simply everything I had ever imagined a midwife would be. I always felt like all my questions were valid and I could genuinely tell she cared about her patients and their babies. When she informed me that she would be bringing on another midwife while she was on maternity leave I was a little anxious only because I liked Dr. Bauer so much. I have to admit though that from the moment I met Dr. Tamar Lieb, I was equally as thrilled to see her too. Both women so kind, so knowledgable and most importantly they clearly knew what they were doing! I had fabulous prenatal care and delivered a healthy baby boy one day before his due date. I had the unmedicated birth I always knew that I wanted with two professional midwives at the Bellingham Birth Center. Things actually went so well that I am strongly considering a home birth with Dr. Lieb and Dr. Bauer should I be so lucky to ever get blessed with another pregnancy. I also would like to add that I went through a bit of a rough patch following the birth of my baby emotionally. I was very anxious and unable to sleep for many days. Both Midwives were relentless with checking in on me and making sure that I was improving and had enough support. I felt their love and genuine concern every step of the way. Both of these midwives come highly recommended from me and I will most definitely use them again God willing!!!

Just left from a 90 minute session and I am walking with a little less of a limp and I feel rejuvenated and relaxed. Thank you so much Susanna (and everyone at the Shantj Center) for all you do.
