She helped me with ultrasound therapy, correctly sized my flanges after multiple hospital lactation consultants got it wrong, and supported me through countless breastfeeding and pumping challenges. As an IBCLC, her expertise is incredible, and there really is a difference. Her online videos and resources have also been invaluable. Because of her support, I've been able to continue providing breast milk for my twins far longer than I thought possible.

From the very…read morebeginning, she brought such a calming, warm, and reassuring presence into our home and immediately put us at ease as new parents. She is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and naturally wonderful with newborns. Not only did our daughter thrive under her care, but my husband and I were finally able to get much needed rest and feel more confident as parents. Jacqui also taught us so much along the way and always made us feel supported, never judged. We are so grateful for her help during those early months and truly cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a compassionate and highly skilled doula.

She was kind, caring, and always made us feel supported. She truly felt like the big sister I needed during such an important time. The only downside of my experience was the lactation support. I only attended two sessions because, unfortunately, they were very stressful. During the first visit, the lactation consultant arrived late, seemed rushed, and left me with a few nipple shields that ultimately didn't work well for me. At the end, I didn't end up using them because they weren't helpful. The second session felt very similar. It also felt rushed and stressful, and my baby became stressed as well. Because of those experiences, I decided not to continue with the lactation sessions. Overall, I'm very grateful for Katie's support, and she made a huge positive difference during our postpartum journey.

Annika was an absolute godsend during those early newborn days and an incredible support as a…read morefirst-time mom. She came highly recommended by a friend and completely lived up to the recommendation. Every night, she arrived on time with a smile and was immediately ready to help with the baby. She did an amazing job protecting my sleep while also making sure my baby's needs were always met with so much care and attention. What really stood out was how knowledgeable and up-to-date she is on the latest research and evidence-based newborn care recommendations. I felt completely safe, supported, and at ease knowing my baby was in such capable hands throughout the night. If you are looking for a reliable, compassionate, and experienced night doula, I cannot recommend Annika enough. She made such a huge difference for our family during a very special -- and exhausting -- time.

She was incredible with my newborn -- attentive, gentle, and so intuitive that she anticipated every need before a cry ever happened. As a result, I could sleep with peace of mind knowing my newborn was cared for. Additionally, she provided us thoughtful guidance about many newborn care topics. As a first-time parent overwhelmed by the endless options/opinions, Annika's expertise was invaluable and truly made those early weeks far less overwhelming. Beyond caring for my newborn, Annika supported me through my own postpartum challenges with warmth, compassion, and genuine care. She provides the kind of steady, reassuring presence every new parent deserves. I am immensely grateful for Annika and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a postpartum doula!

As a dad-to-be, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect going into a hypnobirthing class. If I'm being…read morehonest, I was a little skeptical at first--"hypno" anything sounded a bit out there to me. But I signed up to support my wife, and I'm really glad I did. This class completely changed how I see birth and my role in it. Instead of feeling like a bystander, I walked away feeling informed, useful, and actually confident in how I can support my wife during labor. The techniques we learned--breathing, relaxation, visualization--aren't just for moms. I found myself using them too, and they've already helped us both stay calmer leading up to the big day. What stood out most was how much emphasis was placed on teamwork. I learned specific, practical ways to advocate for my wife, help her stay relaxed, and create a positive environment no matter how the birth unfolds. It made me feel like an active participant instead of just "the guy in the room." The instructor, Care, was very knowledgeable, approachable, and never made any question feel silly. She made the classes very comfortable and even pretty funny at times. The class also struck a great balance between education and hands-on practice, so it didn't feel like we were just sitting through lectures. If you're a partner on the fence about taking a hypnobirthing class--do it. Even if you're skeptical like I was, you'll come away with tools, confidence, and a much deeper understanding of what your partner is going through. Honestly, it's one of the best things we've done together to prepare for becoming parents.

From the very first class, it was clear that Care is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about empowering expectant parents. Her approach to hypnobirthing and breathing techniques was not only informative but also calming and reassuring for both me and my partner. We completed it feeling much more prepared and confident for the birth experience ahead. Care provided a wealth of resources, ensuring we had everything we needed to make informed decisions about our birthing plan. She was always responsive to our questions, both during the classes and even after the birth, which made a world of difference in our journey. It's rare to find someone who continues to support you even after the classes are over. Overall, the entire experience with Care was amazing. Her warmth, expertise, and dedication to her clients truly set her apart.

I do admit my breastfeeding experience with my son was not a difficult one. What was difficult was to keep breastfeeding, working and school. That being said, I was going to stop breastfeeding my son after 5 months and went to Eve for a consult. i had been having trouble keeping my milk up and was fed up. She told me what to do to get my milk moving more and talked me into doing it for at least a year. Well, my son is 2 now and I just stopped breastfeeding him. I'm so glad I did.

I appreciate that they take an evidence-based approach and have good working relationships with IVF clinics. (I've encountered practices that offer unqualified and sometimes harmful advice, so I do not take that for granted.) I worked mostly with Dr. Tamara Roe. She is truly a healer -- calm, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to be there for my transfer day. I found out later that Tamara had also helped an acquaintance conceive her child naturally and after many fertility complications! Everything that everyone says about her is true...

After I had a successful egg retrieval, I knew I wanted to do everything it took to have a successful embryo transfer. I had the initial consult with Dr. Tamara once I had an idea of the time frame I may be doing the transfer and instantly felt at home. Her office is so calming and tranquil, I was instantly at ease. After my consult, I waited until I got the official transfer timeline and Dr. Tamara worked on a timeline with me to set myself up for the best success for this transfer. She also gave me tips on supplements to add, what to take out, how to adjust my lifestyle and eating habits as well. These sessions were solely for acupuncture but I got a lot of information out of them as well. I never thought I could be one to relax and fall asleep but after a few sessions, I felt like I was relaxed into another world. I am happy to say that after about 9 sessions together, I had a successful embryo transfer and now expecting a baby girl. I have a long ways to go but I look forward to working with Dr. Tamara throughout this pregnancy as well. I highly recommend seeing her!

Choosing Tema and Matriz Midwifery Care for my first pregnancy was one of the best decisions I made…read morefor myself, my baby, and my family. I am so grateful I chose to invest in midwifery care. As a first-time mom, I received both traditional OB-GYN care through my insurance and midwifery care with Tema, which allowed me to experience the difference in approaches firsthand. Tema's care was incredibly well-rounded. She didn't just focus on prenatal checkups--she cared for me as a whole person, helping me understand how everything in my body was connected. She guided me through nutrition, hydration, overall wellness, preparing my body for birth, and of course, prenatal care. I always felt safe, informed, listened to, and genuinely cared for. The cultural connection I felt with Tema and her practice was also deeply meaningful to me. There was something so reassuring and special about receiving care that felt connected to who I am and to the pregnancy and birth experience I had always dreamed of. Alix was such a lovely, calm, and grounding presence throughout my prenatal care. I loved having both Tema and Alix's expertise, experience, and personalities supporting and loving on me, my husband, and our baby. Their care during my labor and birth was outstanding. The guidance they gave me was exactly what I needed in those moments. Throughout my entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience, communication was clear and consistent. They were accessible when I needed them, supportive, transparent, and honest. I never felt like I was just another patient. Their care didn't simply end once my baby was born either. Being supported postpartum made me appreciate even more how special it is to have providers who see pregnancy, birth, recovery, motherhood, and baby as one connected experience. After experiencing Matriz Midwifery Care, I may forever be biased in believing Tema and Alix are angels on Earth. What they do is such a special and sacred skill--nurturing mothers and babies through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Tema, Alix, and the people Tema has chosen to surround her practice with. I will always be grateful that this was my first experience of pregnancy and motherhood. For anyone researching Matriz or wondering whether investing in midwifery care is worth it, I hope my experience helps: I felt respected, nurtured, empowered, safe, and deeply cared for every step of the way. Thank you, Tema and Alix, for caring for and loving on our little family during one of the most sacred and transformative seasons of our lives. I will carry this experience with me forever.

For the difficult and vulnerable experience of pregnancy/birth, it brought me immeasurable comfort to have them by my side throughout my journey.

I am so grateful for their support and if I have another baby I will certainly seek it out again.
