She truly cares about you... how you're feeling, what you're going through, and making sure you feel seen every step of the way. After having my first baby in a hospital and walking away with a less-than-pleasant experience, I knew for my second and lastI, wanted something different. I wanted to feel safe, supported, and genuinely cared for. And that's exactly what you get with Rachael. She checked in not just physically, but emotionally. She listened, she reassured me, and she created a space where I felt comfortable, confident, and understood. It felt less like appointments and more like being cared for by someone who truly had my best interest at heart. This wasn't just care..it was compassion, connection, and trust. And I will forever be grateful I made the decision to go this route. Truly five-star care from start to finish.

I fell in love with Rachael as soon as I met her. Her knowledge, her energy, her confidence, her smile, her ability to set me at ease... the list goes on. There's a certain comfort I can't fully explain when you're with the same provider throughout the entire prenatal, birth, and postpartum period. Being with one provider means you really get to know and trust each other. And Rachael really knows her stuff. She is an expert on all things pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She has a way of letting you know when something is important without instilling fear and anxiety in you which I feel is so common in a more clinical setting. There was one moment during my pregnancy when I got worried that my baby wasn't moving as much as I was used to. I texted Rachael and she immediately responded: "Meet me at my office and I'll check you, I can be there in 20 minutes." So she met us there, groceries in hand, and checked on the baby because that's the kind of provider she is. And the baby was fine which meant I was fine, and I felt so thankful so have a real relationship with my provider so that a meeting like this was even possible. My birth experience was picture perfect. I think about it every day. Rachael and her amazing birth assistant Cassandra work so well together and are perfectly in sync with each other. It was calm and comforting. They were supportive and encouraging right when I needed it. They quietly observed, checked the necessary vitals, and let labor naturally occur just as it was meant to. After my son was born they did his first exam right there on my bed while I rested and watched. Then they did the next few postpartum visits and baby checks at my home as well. It felt like such a luxury. We are so lucky to have Rachael providing this exceptional care in our community. She is a very special human and I am so thankful I was able to have this experience with her. It almost makes me consider having another baby... just kidding :)

Tina was amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend her for lactation support! I cannot stress how helpful…read moreshe was to me during my first week. I asked Tina to come out the day after we got home from the hospital because our little guy was struggling to latch. My husband called her and she came out right away. A few days later, my milk came in and I found myself with more questions. We talked over the phone (she calls and texts for updates, which is amazing). Ultimately, she came out to my house again. After our second session, we are without issues with latching and feeding on a regular(ish) schedule! Her services are worth every penny!!

At first we didn't even know what's doula was let alone that we would even want one. Yet, after doing some research on the benefits of having a doula, namely a safe natural birth, we checked around. We interviewed a few doulas, and even went to a doula meet and but none had the warmth and caring of Holly. She made our birthing experience a truly smooth and joyous event. My wife and I couldn't have done it without her. My mom, who initially balked at the idea of a doula, agreed that a doula made the experience a thousand times easier for all. If you are having a child then definitely hire holly! Oh and her rates were 200-300 less than other doulas!

They helped me feel empowered and confident in myself, my pregnancy, and my baby's birth. I knew without a doubt that my family, baby, and I were all being supported by a community of exceptional women, who genuinely cared about our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Andy and Terri were always available to ease my mind and problem solve any worries or concerns we might've had both before and after my baby was born. To have such gentle, confident guidance made an already monumental moment that much more special, and a tremendous transition that much less daunting. My dreams came true when my daughter was born into a serene space, surrounded by strong, smart, caring women! We absolutely love our midwives, and feel honored to have shared this journey with them!

Even though I ended up having to transfer to a hospital setting after 48+ hours of trying at home, the team made sure I was in the right hands & were constantly checking in with us. In postpartum, I felt so cared for when they only not checked up on our baby, but also checked in so much with my healing & mental health. Terri especially made my husband & I feel so comfortable throughout the entire experience since she could relate to our Asian identities. We really appreciated that.

The endless cycle of breastfeeding and pumping bordered on grueling. I was anxious, irritable and found it hard to sleep (although I was exhausted!). Enter Doula Deb, who helped us mostly with overnight care so we could get the restorative sleep we desperately needed. Deb was calm, caring, supportive, reliable and positive. She listened and provided us with information, baby-care tips and encouragement. With her watching over and helping care for our daughters (and us!) in the wee hours, I felt like I could finally exhale. Welcoming Deb into our home was like getting the whiffs of parenting oxygen we needed to help us reset and find our way through the early days of parenthood.

They intuitively knew what my husband needed to hear and what I needed to hear (very different) throughout pregnancy and during post-partum visits. You forget how important post-partum care is when prepping to have a baby, but it's huge! Their follow up and visits after delivery were priceless! Speaking of price, their fees are more than reasonable for the services and amount of time they provide AND they bill insurance. I cannot imagine a better situation or better providers for our first experience with midwives and home birth. Truly a blessing and highly recommend!
