When we hired Kaitlin as our birth coach, we were so grateful to have someone as knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient as she is to support us as we embarked on this exciting yet terrifying adventure. Kaitlin listened to our concerns, shared resources and information - including giving us the name of the best Obgyn when we unexpectedly needed to move cities only a couple weeks before the birth and needed a new doctor - and gave us helpful guidance before and after the birth of our daughter. We are so grateful for her help and highly recommend Kaitlin and her services!

She helped my husband and I feel comfortable and confident going into the birth and super supported. Kaitlin and I hit it off immediately; she is warm, very knowledgeable, passionate, and intuitive. During labor, she was a calming, steady presence for both me and my husband. She tirelessly helped me cope and ride the waves of contractions, assuring me every step of the way. When I needed it, she suggested helpful ideas to both mentally and physically shift things, and I can still hear her smart words in my mind when I think about my birth. She was there when I searched for her eyes, and she answered even my most impossible questions during intense labor. She had my back and my heart every step of the way. As our son was born, she whispered beautiful words into the space, which still gives me chills to think about. In the days following, she was a great support, especially in helping my husband and I navigate early postpartum and in breastfeeding. She helped us so much in getting off on the right foot with breastfeeding. We felt cared for, supported, and in excellent hands. I definitely recommend Kaitlin as a doula, educator, and women's health advocate. Her knowledge runs deep, and her contribution to this field is already and will be vast.

    Lynzie was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond in every way, not just caring for our…read morebaby with so much love, but also supporting us as parents. Our daughter was a NICU grad, so those early weeks felt especially intense, and Lynzie handled everything with such calm confidence. She was a huge help with all things lactation and latch, which made a meaningful difference right away. She kept thoughtful daily notes, was always on time, and brought a steady, capable presence into our home. Beyond that, she taught us so much about sleep and newborn rhythms, and gave us real confidence as new parents. She also checked in on us, which meant a lot during a pretty overwhelming time.

From the very first night she was in our home, it was clear we were in the presence of someone uniquely gifted in her work. What sets Lynzi apart is her extraordinary ability to provide expert care while maintaining impeccable boundaries. She is warm, nurturing, and wholly trustworthy, yet never intrusive--an incredibly rare balance. She seamlessly supported our family while never becoming a distraction or disrupting our rhythm. Her quiet confidence and deep knowledge of newborn behavior gave us peace of mind and the invaluable gift of rest. We always felt that our baby was in the most capable and caring hands. Lynzi took initiative without overstepping, anticipated needs before we voiced them, and brought a sense of calm and consistency to what can otherwise be an overwhelming stage of life. We are endlessly grateful for her presence during those early weeks. If you are considering working with Lynzi, you can do so with full confidence--she is a true professional, and anyone would be lucky to have her support.

We interviewed a lot of doulas before deciding to hire Jen. I had honestly already selected a doula I wanted and almost cancelled the consultation appointment with Jen but something told me to keep it and I am so glad I did. After chatting with her I knew she was the one. Her energy and calming voice was exactly what I knew I needed! Jen has been there for me EVERY step of the way on this wild rollercoaster to motherhood! She is always just a text or call away and the amount of time I've called her and spent an hour or more on the phone with her just crying, venting, laughing or bouncing thoughts with her. She's quickly become one of my dear friends! At my birth she was pivotal, and kept me calm by helping with breathing tactics and pain management tools. She even helped me push my baby out. I am so grateful to have walked this journey and to keep walking this journey with you Jen! Thankfully we also added on her postpartum package and she has been spoiling me with yummy meals, foot and back massages, sitz baths and loving on my son. Jen is an absolute gem and I highly recommend her! Oh and I almost forgot she captured my birth beautifully too with photos and videos. And the education she gives during her prenatal visits are like nothing else any other doula does. Most doulas start there visits in late 3rd trimester and show up at the birth. Jen walked along this ENTIRE journey with me. I am so grateful to her for everything!

She was…read moreflexible & able to accommodate changing schedules, great with communication not only about tasks I needed help with but also helping me navigate communication with family members helping out, and provided a complimentary at home massage from a professional for my last visit. Jen did a variety of tasks for me and was willing to do whatever was helpful for that week's visit - laundry, trash, changing bedsheets, cooking, caring for the baby, and multiple self care activities for me as a recovering mama! It was so nice and I highly recommend her

    Giving birth is exciting, unknowing, personal and natural. To have someone by your side who…read moreunderstands the experience and shares the same excitement is a gift to yourself during one of the most memorable moments of your life. I've learned that when you give birth you need the consistent support, warmth and knowledge of a Doula. Liz embodies all of these and more. During my hospital birth, as nurses were changing shifts or taking breaks, Liz was my much needed stability. She will play cards with you, she will coach you through your contractions, she will hold your hand (or you legs) and encourage you until your last push. From start to end, Liz never left my side and gave me the best birth experience I could have asked for. She's the real deal, the one stable person everyone should have when bringing a new life into the world.

    From the owner: Doula is derived from the greek word meaning "mother's helper"…read more Every birth is unique and every birth is etched in the memory of all mothers. I hope to help make the memory of giving birth as pleasant as possible without any regrets. Education is key and as I doula I hope to help parents make informed choices and know their options so the memory is one to be proud of. The top priority of every birth is a healthy baby and a healthy mother. Continuous emotional and physical support and advocacy throughout the birth by a doula gives the parents the one on one attention that all mothers deserve and that seems to be lacking in today's culture. I hope to help parents feel empowered and up to all the challenges that come with a birth. Studies have shown that women who have a doula present are less likely to have a C-section, less likely to need pitocin and pain medications, and are more satisfied with their birth experience.

    Blyss is by far the most understanding medical person I've ever encountered. She compassion for her…read moreclients, her understanding of hard times, while still being a place of positivity is unmatched. She advocates for what her clients want and helps them advocate for themselves as well. The specialist she recommends really know their stuff (chiropractic care, breech specialists, and ultrasounds to name a few). I could not have chosen a better practitioner/midwife to be under the care of. So grateful she's part of my birth team. Her weekly prenatal group zoom calls have been supremely helpful during this difficult time. They've brought a sense of community I felt like I was missing during this pandemic. Knowing that others are going through the same things is so so helpful during this time. I love cheering on fellow members as they get closer to meeting their babies and cheering on the newly pregnant people as well! And her Innate Journey class with Haize Hawke was the cherry on top! So informative, so realistic and caring. Precautions were taken to keep everyone safe during class, while bringing us together as a small group of couples getting ready to meet our babies. We touched on the spiritual and the practical. I've never felt closer to my spouse than after we finished the last class. Haize and Blyss are an absolute dream team!

Every prenatal appointment I felt seen, heard, and cared for in such a deep way. Blyss went above and beyond to check in with me during the ongoing pandemic/covid-19 and during the black lives matter movement. Blyss even created a weekly zoom group for her clients to hold space for us to breath and also connect and ask questions. I was bless to have a homebirth at 41 Weeks with Blyss and she was so professional and caring. Her calming presence and years of experience illuminated during my labor. I trusted her and she constantly reminded me that I can do it. Blyss is passionate about being a midwife, its not a job for her, you can see it's her spiritual calling.

They are kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, but the front office and administrative side has been consistently frustrating. The administrative staff is disorganized and unprofessional. They frequently mix up appointment times, give conflicting information, and make even simple tasks feel unnecessarily difficult. They don't use email or an online portal to send updates, test results, or appointment confirmations, which makes it almost impossible to keep track of anything. Everything has to be done by phone, and the communication is often curt or dismissive. Another major frustration is that any time I need bloodwork, I have to schedule a completely separate appointment with a third-party lab instead of being able to do it in-office. This makes routine prenatal care far more inconvenient than it needs to be. I really wanted to have a good experience here, especially since the clinical care from the midwives has been positive, but the front-office management has caused so much stress and confusion that I'm choosing to switch practices. I hope they improve their administrative processes and communication in the future.

I was at a very low point when I heard from my friend that Estelle was a Doula. She has a background as a midwife in Belgium and so she not only knows how to take care of this mama, but also is great with my baby. She made me feel comfortable immediately. She did baby yoga, helped put her down for naps, gave baths...I could go on. Before Estelle came to my rescue, my baby wouldn't eat solid food. After Estelle, my baby was not only eating healthy solid foods, but I was too. She grocery shopped and cooked for me in my time of need. She truly helped me heal. Unfortunately, I didn't have a Doula when my baby was first born and had a tough experience in the weeks after. If I could go back in time, I would hire Estelle in a heartbeat as my Doula for the birth and days after. Call Estelle!

Estelle is not only one of the sweetest, most caring people you will meet but also very knowledgable when it comes to all things birth. My husband and I had a couple prenatal sessions with her before birth which helped us mentally prepare for being first time parents and I also had one-on-one prenatal yoga sessions with her which helped me physically prepare. She was also very helpful postpartum as a lactation consultant. I ended up having a natural breech home birth in the middle of COVID19 and she not only stuck with us through all the changing plans but was also always so positive and encouraging when so many others were negative about going on the path of natural childbirth with a complete breech. She was cool, calm and collected throughout the entire experience and we couldn't have done it without her!! Highly recommend her :)

    We looked into care at Pure Births after an unpleasant hospital experience with our first-born…read more Before making any definitive decision, I asked my partner to just accompany me to the first introduction class so we could both learn more about their care & birth center. Midwife Tiffany educated us on the safety of the birth center, the benefits to mom & baby, the financial aspect, shared success stories, answered all of our questions & concerns, and finished with a complete tour of the birth center. We were both blown away by the education we received & decided we would like to try for a VBAC under their midwifery care. From October, when we took the class, to May, when our baby girl was born, we felt so seen and supported by the entire midwife team. Our girl was brought into the world by a redemptive VBAC experience & it was the best decision of our lives! Thank you to the entire Pure Births team for the constant clear communication. You all helped us achieve our what we sought to experience as a family and for that, we will forever be indebted to you! We are walking away so in awe of midwifery care, but more importantly, huge advocates for Pure Births & their lovely team.

    I chose Pure Births Birthing Center because I deeply valued the philosophy of midwife-centered,…read moreholistic, and family-focused care. The environment and overall mission of the center truly resonated with me, and I appreciated the calm, natural approach they strive to provide. One of the most positive aspects of my experience was working with student midwife Alysia. I intentionally chose to have her present during my labor because she made me feel safe, supported, and emotionally grounded. Her presence was comforting, encouraging, and compassionate throughout a very vulnerable time, and I am genuinely grateful for the care she provided. I also loved the courses being offered for birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum. Everyone i've met was so sweet and kindhearted. I labored at home for most of the early process and arrived at the birth center around 4:35 AM at 6 cm dilated, ready to continue laboring. Nurse midwife Angela was the on-call midwife overseeing Alysia. Early on, Angela mentioned that she had attended a birth the night before and was exhausted. While I understand that birth work is demanding, hearing this during my own labor created underlying anxiety and made me feel as though my experience might be influenced by fatigue -- something that, as a laboring mother, felt outside of my control and not something I should have had to carry emotionally in that moment. As labor progressed, I began to feel that my experience was becoming rushed despite there being no emergent medical concerns. This was my first pregnancy, and I was already navigating the physical intensity, emotional vulnerability, and uncertainty that come with first-time labor. Some comments made during labor felt discouraging rather than empowering, and I noticed that as Angela became more involved, my confidence declined and my labor felt less supported and more pressured. There was a particularly difficult moment when Angela attempted to assist with pushing using manual support internally with my consent. During this, I had an involuntary knee-jerk reaction and accidentally kicked. Instead of reassurance or redirection, the response focused heavily on her personal safety, and I was told that if the movement continued, I could be transferred. This occurred while I was actively laboring, in pain, and emotionally vulnerable. I found myself repeatedly apologizing for something that was clearly accidental and reflexive, which left me feeling ashamed, distressed, and unsupported during a moment when compassion was especially needed. Additionally, being asked questions about past sexual assault during active labor felt unexpected and emotionally jarring given the timing and intensity of the situation. As a nurse myself, I tried to remain understanding and rationalize the intent behind the questions and responses, but emotionally it contributed to my discomfort and sense of vulnerability. Another significant source of stress was feeling as though there was a time pressure placed on my labor, including comments suggesting that if birth did not occur by a certain timeframe approaching midnight, transfer would be necessary. This created a sense of failure and defeat, making me feel as though my body was not performing adequately rather than feeling supported through a normal first-time labor process. I truly believe that with more patience, reassurance, and time, my birth experience may have unfolded differently. I want to emphasize that this review is not meant to discredit anyone's clinical skills. I believe Angela is likely very knowledgeable and experienced in her field. However, bedside manner, emotional safety, and communication profoundly shape a birth experience, and in my case, I felt rushed, discouraged, and emotionally unsupported at times. In contrast, Alysia remained incredibly compassionate and reassuring. She comforted me, encouraged me to trust my body, and reminded me that if I felt the urge to push or return, I would not be turned away. Her support helped me feel seen and cared for during a moment when I was questioning myself. It took me over a year to write this review because I struggled with denial, self-blame, and not wanting to place fault on anyone. Birth is deeply personal, and processing a difficult emotional experience takes time. Ultimately, I am sharing this in hopes that future patients feel emotionally safe, unrushed, and fully supported regardless of staffing fatigue or scheduling challenges. A laboring mother should never feel like a burden or that time is working against her during a normal birth process. Pure Births offers a beautiful philosophy and environment, and I still value the concept of midwifery care. My hope is simply that emotional presence, compassionate communication, and patience remain central to every birthing experience.
