Where to begin?! We moved to Austin from Arizona, and within about six months of being here, got…read morepregnant with our second child. We had an amazing home birth team in Phoenix, so our expectations were really high for the type of care and knowledge we wanted in our Midwife. Being new to Austin meant we didn't have a large network of people to ask for references, so I researched online, read reviews and looked through credentials. I knew very quickly I wanted to work with Christy and Jenni. I had an extremely difficult pregnancy, although I was also sick the entirety of my first as well. I had hyperemesis gravidarum, meaning I was throwing up constantly, losing weight, and unable to keep down hardly anything. Christy has a huge wealth of knowledge and practices functional medicine alongside traditional options. I was always given information of references for alternative therapies to help my nausea. They were always helping me manage my sickness and we worked closely with a perinatal MD for any tests or services Christy couldn't provide herself. I had incredible care throughout my pregnancy and can't stress enough how great a resource Christy was for every ailment. Our birth experience was awesome! It only lasted an hour and a half (sooo fast!) but it was in the middle of the night with a birth tub. Our baby was born in a state of shock, partially because of how quickly everything progressed, and had a little trouble breathing. Christy knew what to do immediately and got her breathing and feeding perfectly in no time. The postpartum care we received was incredible. I had pelvic floor issues and our baby had some skin issues and Christy and Jenni were always available to answer questions and connect us with a provider that could help if it was outside their realm. Truly, we can't say enough about our experience and this team of women! They are wonderful and you and your baby will be in great hands.

Finding Jenni and Christy was like winning the lottery. I literally can't put into words how…read moreamazing these two women are...and how positively they have impacted my (and my family's) life. They are just. The best. Jenni and Christy helped my wife and I through two births, and unfortunately a few miscarriages. We first met them while interviewing for a midwife back in 2015. We interviewed a few other people around town, but instantly clicked with Jenni and Christy. They are warm, responsive, realistic and the best part - they really care about you, your pregnancy and your experience. Our meetings were sometimes long - filled with laughter in addition to medical explanations of my changing body. They took a few minutes each time to do the medical stuff, blood pressure/pee test/feel for baby...but then, the rest of the time they just wanted to know how I was feeling. I miss them. When my birth came around, Jenni was my rock. She is kind and gentle - her presence during the chaos of birth was invaluable. She kept me calm, centered and most of all, feeling safe through 8 hours of active labor and a 3 hours of pushing. My kiddo didn't want to come out, but they literally pulled out a bag of tricks: peanut yoga balls, weird positions, ropes to pull on and things to rest my legs on. They kept my spirits up, even when in those moments of wanting to give up. And, with their help I birthed a healthy little girl in the comfort of my home. It was amazing. Women are amazing. Now I'm crying. I can't recommend these MotherBloom midwifery enough. They taught me about the power of being a woman - and I know that I am a better mother because of my experience with them as my midwives. They really are, the best. I heart them so much!

There's no way I can sum up my experience(s) with Sam in one review, but I'll do my best…read more There is a cultural belief that all that matters is a "healthy Mom and healthy baby", but pregnancy, birth and postpartum care can be restorative, healing and empowering. Sam Evans brought this experience to life for me and my family. I grew up as the daughter of a very well-known midwife who revolutionized women's health in the mountains of NC, so I expected the highest quality of care from whoever I hired as my midwife... and Sam Evans is truly the only midwife I've met that fits that bill. She leaves no stone unturned during your prenatal experience, from a physical, emotional and mental perspective. I would have been considered high risk by many other midwives, but Sam knew I had 2 successful unmedicated, vaginal births prior to my desire to have a home birth. I followed all of her advice: from prenatal vitamins, to mindful exercise, to being kind to myself when I got in my head about my own insecurities about my body. My birth experience was incredible. Sam was the calm but stern when I needed her to be! I joke that the only downside about my experience is that I miss Sam now that I dont see her all the time! She became our friend on top of our midwife and we are so grateful for her bringing our sweet Clementine into the world!

I cannot recommend this birth center enough. I interviewed with several midwives when I found out I…read morewas pregnant with twins. I didn't want to be pressured after my very first experience with twins at the hospital where they told me in answer to a medical question I had that they, "liked alive babies". I don't think that was the answer they learned in medical school, but I digress. I LOVE how they handled my breech babies and were very informative about all options throughout my twin pregnancy. They were honest and did not pressure me into anything. Each prenatal appointment was SO peaceful and I left each one learning new things about myself. I learned I was anemic, and looking back I was probably anemic with my first two pregnancies as well but it was never brought to my attention in my 10 min hospital prenatal appts. When we addressed that through iron infusions, it changed my life. (I still need them quarterly now even 8 months postpartum-so, I was happy to learn that) I did end up choosing to have a gentle c section in the end, at 40 weeks pregnant with breech twins because they were cosy in there, because of my husband's and my personal feelings at the end. However, I also love and appreciate, that in the end, I wasn't pressured to wait any longer than we felt comfortable with and each process was so peaceful and easy. She helped me pick the hospital we felt comfortable with and completed all my postnatal care. I so wish my twins hadn't been so comfortable and had tried getting out a little quicker, because I KNOW I would've loved my birth experience with this team of women. Each midwife was wonderful, Joani, my main midwife was the absolute best. I love love love Joyful beginnings.

Whether they're looking to get pregnant, are postpartum, or are considering IVF, I always tell them to talk to Abigail first. Abigail helped prepare my body for getting pregnant. Our initial consult lasted over an hour (something I have never experienced with any doctor). Afterward, she gave me specific homework, copious amounts of information and sources to research for myself, as well as\ herbs, detoxes, and tests to gauge my hormone levels throughout the month. Both my husband and I did three detoxes over the course of three months to prepare my body and his swimmers to be the healthiest ever to conceive. In September 2016 we started trying. In October 2016, I was pregnant. Thank you, Abigail!

There are many things that Abigail offers, but my personal concern was to wean myself off of…read morePrilosec, due to the long term side effects. I had started taking it via a doctor's suggestion, over a year ago for stomach pain and discomfort, as well as nausea. My tests for an ulcer and acid reflux showed negative, and I was still having discomfort, but the doctor couldn't offer me any other alternatives. So, through Abigail's guidance (we ABSOLUTELY need acid in our stomachs to digest our food properly!) and weekly Maya Abdominal Therapy sessions, I changed my probiotics and digestive enzymes, replaced all the mercury fillings in my mouth, started hot caster oil packs on my stomach and gave myself daily self-abdominal massage. I was able to slowly reduce to 1/2 Prilosec tablets daily, then 1/4, then 1/4 every other day, to NONE! This happened over a period of about 6 months and a lot of hard work on my part. However, of all the people I spoke with who take the same or similar OTC medication, no one has been able to stop their medications. I wholeheartedly suggest coming to Abigail. I feel blessed to have found her and HIGHLY recommend her services to heal any digestive issue you have.

By far and hands down my last birth with Sisters Midwifery was the best prenatal, birthing and post natal experience I have had. I felt totally taken care of by Illysa and Christy and when it was time for the birth, I was totally confident that Illysa, my midwife attending the birth, was completely prepared and focused and there for me. She was super supportive and allowed everything to happen at a very natural pace - she also was very professional and really had my best medical interests in mind as well. She was so attentive and in tune with the birthing process. I felt so well attended to in my post partum time. I never had that type of attention given at my previous birthing experiences to my post-partum care. I was checked on and cared for both physically and emotionally. Thank you so much, Illysa, for such an amazing and wonderful experience.
