Everything we went to was great and full of learning. One of the teachers was especially great, Michelle. She taught well, brought humor and did so in a friendly environment.

They really do provide a good experience for new parents and moms.

I went in several times for the weekly weigh-ins for my first born. I was able to breastfeed him until he was a little over 2 years old. I also went in for my daughter and they were very helpful.

I was planning a home birth, and so excited to use all the hypnobirthing techniques she taught my husband and I. When I was diagnosed with preeclampsia and had to have an induction, I was still able to use the hypnobirthing techniques. I called Debbie from the hospital and she sent me materials and encouraging words for my new birth plan. My husband was calm and able to be a great partner through a very scary experience thanks to everything she taught him as well.

The emergency brownies have been a milk saver for those dips in milk supply from extra stress. At first, I thought the items seemed pricey but knowing that the products work makes it worth the price.

If you're struggling with milk production/supply or just want some helpful tips, I highly recommend checking out their products/posts. It has made being a first time mom less daunting and made the breast feeding journey less stressful.

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.

At thirty-five weeks pregnant with my firstborn, I knew I wanted a med-free birth in a hospital but…read morewas worried that unnecessary interventions might take place, so we decided to hire a doula for additional labor/hospital birth support. I found Renea online & met with her a few days later in our home. I knew by the end of our meeting that she was who I wanted beside me as I labored and gave birth. On the day I went into labor we were in constant communication via text. Once active labor began she came over to my home (with all of her essential oils!) and worked through the contractions with me. She was a strong supporter for me during this intense time! She came with us to the hospital and was right by my side as I delivered my son. We hired her again for our second-born son's delivery and she was with me, again, during active labor and at the hospital. We also saw her for a postpartum visit after each delivery. It's been 2 years since we first hired her and we are still friends. I text her randomly with a question and she is quick to reply! I've said this before and i'll say it again--i wouldn't want to birth my babies without Renea by my side!

I decided to go the home birth route with my second pregnancy and choosing to go with Heather did…read morenot disappoint! She was referred to me from a friend, yet I still did my own research and interviewed a few other midwives before committing and I felt like she was the best fit. Each prenatal visit was at least an hour long - she gave me time to ask my questions and never made me feel silly or brushed me off. Having no previous exposure to a home birth, I had a lot of questions yet she answered them all gracefully and in great detail - giving my the confidence I needed to believe in myself that I could do this and that it is safe. Also included in the package was a prenatal massage around 36 weeks and when I tell you it was the best massage in my life - you have to believe me! It was amazing! That hour flew by and I was ready to book another one When I went into labor, I waited until almost the last minute to tell anyone, just to be sure it was the real thing. Well, it was the real thing and it was go time by the time my husband got home from work and Heather arrived. But she didn't waste any time, she jumped in and gave me the encouragement and reassurance I needed to get through transition and birth my baby girl. She was so amazing and was not afraid to get her hands dirty. My 3 year old was there and Heather included her in everything and never pushed her out of the way. Even though I was almost pushing as she walked through the door, she still handled everything with such a calmness and peacefulness that it made that crazy intense last part of birth go so perfectly. If I decide to have baby number 3, a home birth will definitely be my preferred route and Heather would be at the top of my list of midwives (but I would give a longer heads up next time ).

Je'Nelle has more wisdom in the field of childbirth than anyone (from MDs to other midwives and doulas) that I have ever met. She has access to the best practitioners (nutritionists, chiropractors, at home ultrasounds, etc.) and provides personalized care to each mama. She has incredible intuition and always knows exactly what to do. She has a close relationship with God, and the space around her vibrates at a high level of love. She creates a safe and sacred space. If you are concerned with having a birth away from a hospital, just know that Je'Nelle is a skilled medical professional with a background in nursing and has all the medical tech you and your baby might need with the exception of the epidural and C-section (obviously). I felt very confident that she would know when to send me to a hospital if the occasion called. Also, the birthing pool is underrated in how much it helps with pain management. It makes contractions totally doable! Home births are so awesome! You have your baby and can just go sleep in your bed afterwards. Highly recommend!!!
