LaMonica is the best in the business, hands down!…read more I'm an overprotective and overly-critical perfectionist, and this was our first non-hospital birth experience. So finding the right midwife to trust with the birth of our child was going to be a challenge any way you look at it. After interviewing multiple midwives, it was not a difficult decision to choose LaMonica. She has a profound amount of knowledge and experience (vastly more than anyone else we spoke with) and has dealt with just about every kind of situation a delivering couple can experience. LaMonica is caring and pleasant and really makes the whole experience very comfortable and relaxed. We very quickly felt as though we were in the capable hands of a good friend who also happened to be a qualified professional! She did an amazing job with the prenatal care, delivery, and post-natal care, knowing when to give us space and when to step in and guide us. I could not have hoped for a better experience! We are so grateful and thrilled to have connected with such a wonderful person! If more children are in our future, we will not go to anyone else but LaMonica!

LaMonica is one of the most beautiful midwives I have ever come across. Her devotion to her work is…read moreinspirational. She deeply cares for her mothers and their children. She does so much for her local community. My first interaction with LaMonica was at my second daughter's birth with LaMonica being an on call midwife. I had never met her before, but she was so wonderful to be around and brought such a peaceful presence during my birth. The birth center I had worked through in Spokane randomly decided to close during my postpartum care. The center decided to break their deal selling the office to two other beloved midwives of mine. I had no one scheduled to attend my visits, but LaMonica out of the goodness of her heart came to do my house visits not even getting paid! When I had asked her if the center was paying her, her response moved me deeply, "I don't do midwifery for the money, I do it for the moms." This spoke such volumes to me. My postpartum visits with LaMonica were such golden nuggets. She brought me so much joy and love. You see, LaMonica truly cares about her mothers not only their physical health, but mental and emotional health. Not many providers do this. I am now using LaMonica as my primary midwife for my third baby this month, and it has been the best decision my husband and I have done. Not only does she have such a beautiful birth center in Post Falls, but my appointments are so family friendly. My 2 and 1 year old daughters adore going to Miss LaMonica's to see their baby sister and play with her toys. LaMonica is also a huge advocate for medical freedom and ensuring her clients are making informed decisions with their health. If you want an amazing midwife hire LaMonica. She will advocate fiercely for you, share the joy in birth, and provide a golden level of intentional care for your prenatal and postpartum care. We have so many friends now who also adore this beautiful midwife.

I could not say anything better about these midwives. My wife's first birth was at a midwife…read morecenter in Boise and it was horrible. Spokane river midwives was a COMPLETELY different experience. They were extremely respectful of our decisions and gave us all the info we needed to make the right decisions. Our first baby ended up being a C-section, mostly we believe because of the midwife's mistakes. Our second baby, at Spokane River Midwives, was not an easy birth. There were other midwives who came into the center, who weren't even supposed to be working that day who ended up staying with us the whole day. My wife needed all the support she could get and they were the perfect people for it. Our main midwife Brianna stayed with us the whole 24 hours; and Kayla, who wasn't even supposed to be working, came in and stayed with us the last 12 hours. Midwives all sounds great when you meet with them, but it's when you get into a difficult labor that you find out what they're really made of. We desperately did not want to end up at the hospital getting a c-section again. Hours before the delivery I felt like there was no hope. And our previous midwife in Boise would have given up on us before that even. These women stuck it out, with unbelievable patience and stayed positive and helped my wife through the whole thing. I feel like we 100% owe the fact that we had a successful natural v-back delivery because of these women.

We had taken the course offered by KMC (high-level overview of pregnancy and delivery as well as a good opportunity to ask questions of the residents); nevertheless, we were left feeling like there should be more to the process of managing pain during delivery. This being my first pregnancy, I was extremely nervous about the birthing process. However, I left this class feeling confident and went into my delivery with a number of skills that helped to make difference during a very long labor! Doree was great at listening to both my husband and my concerns and tailored the class to fit these needs. She gave us hands on training/practice for great pain management techniques.

She makes me feel empowered, loved, cared about & she is so great at her job! She is like a therapist through our sessions, I always come out of the appt feeling way better than when I went in. We focus a lot on my diet and supplements to make sure baby is getting everything he needs. I wish I could give her 10/5 stars because she is fantastic!!

Things were going good to begin with but she soon started to dismiss some concerns I had. When I felt uncomfortable to proceed any further with her we transferred to another Ob and thats when the problems really started. She had 0 medical records for me and to this day we have still never seen any medical records. She lost payments that I needed to provide records of myself and thankfully we were able to recoup some of our money but it took months. She consistently didn't respond to email or phone calls and had an excuses each time as to why she couldn't get back to us. She also failed to provide a supper receipt for us to bill insurance and I tried for over a year to get that. Unfortunately it was never provided so we were never able to submit to insurance or recoup that back. I think things would have been ok if I had developed medical conditions but unfortunately it did and we discovered the unprofessional side of the business. Just something to consider when looking into midwifery care.
