Where do I begin when it comes to this beautiful gentle soul. I definitely wanna say thank you again Francis for being such an amazing Midwife during my pregnancy, birth and postpartum. I'm now a mother of 4 and my previous 3 births were hospital births. So I was super nervous and had anxiety about our first home birth. Francis knowledge, wisdom, reinsurance and support gave me the confidence that I could push through and give birth in the comfort of my own home. She made sure my labor and delivery went smoothly I couldn't thank her enough. Memories from my home birth will always and forever be in my heart. If I was to do it again Francis will definitely be my first call!

OMG, where do I begin? First and foremost I would like to thank Frances for the most amazing birthing experience Pre and postpartum. This was my first child and I was nervous to give birth. Not only was the birth a breeze (literally 2hrs and 45 min) but I would like to have more children now! I appreciated her willingness to push, educate, and prepare me for birth! I would definitely recommend her to anyone seeking an informed pregnancy and a safe natural birth. This pregnancy/ birth has been incomparable to any other service I have received. The level of care was outstanding! Thank you again for this incredible experience, it is one I will cherish for life!

Wow, what an incredible experience we had with Fran and Christina! They were the perfect team, so supportive and so knowledgeable. They provided us with all the available options and then let us decide what route we wanted to take with absolutely no pressure. We had such a beautiful & peaceful home birth welcoming our baby boy! I am so grateful to have them by my side every step of the way. Our son is now 2 months and still whenever we have a question or concern, I know we can contact them. Thank you for such a life changing experience!

Not only does she bring 30 years of quality experience, she shows up with the most incredible aura. Calm, confident, and steady. Throughout the pregnancy, she was checking in on us regularly and provided guidance on how to manage the last few weeks of pregnancy. The pre-labor massage seemed to reduce the time I was in early labor and she took diligent time to talk through our birth plan so that we felt equipped for the big day. When the big day arrived, she arrived at the hospital quickly after we alerted her. She coached us on proper positioning and was the necessary resource during the chaos of childbirth. I had a tight pelvis and back labor and she was able to provide insight and direction on what decisions might be best for our specific case. Patti sees the whole picture of childbirth and was able to help my baby come out smoothly and without complications. I truly believe I would have had to have a c-section without her there. My husband and I call it is a p-section (P for Patti). I thought having her at the birth was essential but even more so was she essential postpartum. She spent many hours putting my body back together, working on our baby girl, teaching us massage techniques and breast feeding tips. Our baby had a bad crick in her neck and would roll over to her side at night which made us worried. After Patti released her tense body, she has been sleeping so much better and is able to keep her neck straight. I hope Patti is around for all my future babies births because I can't imagine doing it without her! She is the Mother Theresa of childbirth and has given her life in the service of mamas and babies. She has the most important job in the world and she does it so well.

We truly cannot recommend Patti highly enough. From the very beginning, she provided a calm,…read moreknowledgeable, and unwavering support during the most important times of our lives. During labor, her guidance, encouragement, and compassion made an incredible difference - we felt supported every step of the way. We are forever grateful for her role in our birth experience!!!!

In nursing school I was introduced to the idea of doulas, and knew I wanted to have the support of a doula. I went off the recommendation of a friend and found my doula and ended up meeting my midwife through her as well. I finally decided to ditch my OB at his 8th mention of c-section at our prenatal appointments. It was definitely God that placed Afua in my life and I could not be more grateful. Afua came into my life at a time that I lost my sister and mom. She was the mother figure I needed providing me with all the love, support, and tough love that mothers give. I love her approach to patient care because it is unmatched by the experience you get in mainstream healthcare. Afua treated me as family, she validated every one of my concerns no matter how silly they were. She guided me throughout my pregnancy, she provided a place for all expectant and new moms to come together and share their experiences and learn from each other and support one another. She has built her own village here in Houston. I am eternally grateful to her for the support she provided to me without fail and without hesitation. Not only did she provide me with exceptional personalized prenatal care, she safely delivered my baby in the comfort of my own home and she mended my soul. Thank you Afua! I love you!

I…read morestarted my pregnancy with my long-time OBGYN, but quickly realized that there's a difference from a once-a-year appointment and ongoing, regular maternity care... And a difference in what I expected from a health care provider and what the provider was willing to give. I felt rushed during my appointments, spent the vast majority of the visits sitting alone in the waiting room or exam room waiting to be seen, just to finally get 30-60 seconds with the Doctor who barely looked up from the clipboard to ask me 'everything looks good, any questions?' before heading out of the room. I knew I wanted more personalized care from someone truly invested in my and my unborn child's wellbeing, someone who made me feel less like a number and more like a valued client, who welcomed dialogue and discussion on prenatal and birth options without judgement or a 'this is our policy' mentality. Afua and her team met all of my requirements and then set the bar higher than even I could have expected! Her prenatal care model was thorough with more frequent visits than others, which I really appreciated because as a first time mom I would come up with lots of questions. Having the bi-monthly appointments meant I was checking in on my little ones progress more often than my other pregnant friends, it helped alleviate my fears and anxiety that something was wrong and created a strong rapport with Afua. I really love how easy it is to get in touch with Afua- she personally answers all phone calls and texts, so there's no going through a front desk or multiple midwives to talk to. It's easy, efficient, and really made the prenatal (and birth!) experience comfortable. She also has monthly group prenatals, where other pregnant moms get together to discuss relevant birth and childcare topics, meet new friends, and of course eat!! I love the community feeling and getting to know other moms in the area who are also planning on delivering with a midwife. She also hosts meetings for dads, where the men have the same opportunity to mingle and get/give parenting advice. My husband and I opted for a home birth, and the whole process went so smoothly that I'm still in awe that my daughter is here, healthy, and happy, and it's all thanks to Afua.

Where do I begin?…read more Erin saved me in so many ways. I sought her out & told her over and over what my needs were. She patiently listened to every word with TRUE openmindeness. I've had PPD twice in the past. I've had multiple preemies. I was terrified in so many ways and she heard it all. When the day came for medically necessary induction, I reached out to Erin. To get my placenta and she came. Even though we called at 4am. And she came to me in recovery and catered to me while she could. Keep in mind, we had no idea induction was going to happen and we hadn't paid her anything at this point. There were complications in surgery. And I didn't learn about them until a day later. By that point, Erin was schedule to drop off my placenta pills to me in the hospital. I learned (before she came) that I couldn't have anymore children. It would be "devastating in the least". We were broken over the news. This baby was our last and we weren't prepared for that. When Erin came, she had with her last minute add on's. Placenta prints, my cord shaped into a heart, herbal concoctions & love. It began the healing process. Never before had I had my placenta encapsulated or the cord keepsake. And she provided healing things for me. The benefits from my pills have been phenomenal I DONT have ppd, my milk supply is amazing and my body and mind are able to heal. I can never repay her for those things. Erin Young is truly amazing. She became apart of me and anticipated needs I didnt know I needed met. Thank you Erin

Make the right decision. Especially if you are going to be a new father. This woman taught me what…read moreto do and what not to do in order to provide the absolute best experience possible for my wife. Erin is worth every penny. She will move at your pace, always find a way to be helpful and is extremely skilled at "plugging in" when things are either tough or easy throughout the pregnancy and labor. Her fee is a steal for all the value she brings. For a clueless male like myself, her teaching aides are terrific for learning something new and applying it with success. Don't go through it alone. Get Erin on board and know you can be confident when it's time for birth.

The first thing I will tell you is that it was my first pregnancy, I knew I wanted a natural birth and when I would call birth centers I had so many questions and many of them didn't want to spend the time to talk to me on the phone they just wanted me to come in and make an appointment so they could make $. This bothered me because I felt people who had this sort of attitude would also being impatient with me during my pregnancy and birth . However when I called the place Claudia was working she talked to me for such a long time and I felt a warm connection with her she made me feel informed, supported and confident. So it was a no brainer for me at that point. I asked the birth center that I want her to be my doula and they had her on schedule when I gave birth. During my contractions she would massage pressure points and it helped so much to make he pain less. She was so supportive the whole time, and helped me the whole way. My midwife was so amazing too. Having a natural birth was the best thing I ever did, and it was actually fun. lol Thank you Claudia!!!!! & thank you nbwc

DO NOT TRUST your care to this midwife. I find Jackie Griggs to be rude, unethical, medically…read morereckless and to have little to no regard for protecting the memory of her clients birth journey. Do yourself a favor and FIND SOMEONE ELSE to trust with your care. For those who are dubious of the circumstances surrounding my review, you will find through public records that Jackie's license was placed on probation with the Texas Board of Nursing for her actions.

I'm surprised by the negative posts regarding Jackie's quality of care. If we're doing real talk, I…read moresense she made a doula mad and some of these negative posts smell like a coup. As with any reviews, do your due diligence and form your own opinion. Pay more attention to folks who birthed with her, after all, are you a family looking for a midwife, or are you a doula looking for affirmation. You better bet a mother with a bad experience would be here reviewing for herself if she had bad things to say. Jackie was a God send for our family. She brought my little boy into the world, and I will go to her again if we are blessed with a second. She loves babies y'all. She loves being a mother. I found her very compassionate, attentive, and professional. Deliveries last a long time. Birthing naturally isn't easy. And, if you're choosing the midwife route, understand you're birthing your baby yourself, and your midwife is there to help that happen safely. My doula and I chatted about the experience after my son was born, and she said Jackie was great and also gave her the space to focus on me. Example that speaks to Jackie's character. One day during my pregnancy, I swore my baby didn't move very much. I was concerned and paranoid. I called Jackie and she was in Beaumont, on her way to Costco. She told us to meet her in the parking lot and she'd take a listen. We did just that, and Jackie was in the backseat with the ultrasound wand and goop letting me listen to my baby's heartbeat. Having a baby is a big deal. Invest your efforts into finding the right match for you and your family. You'll get so many opinions on who is awesome and who isn't. All I can say is ask questions about the experience, ask people you trust, and use that information to form your own opinion. Jackies was a nurse in a hospital. She worked there many years, and she left that setting to empower women to birth their babies under their terms. And that is what she does.
