This was the worst most cringe experience I have ever had with any midwife and I have been to…read moreseveral. At the front desk, they are sane and kind, but it's all downhill from there. The midwife walks around barefoot and recommends that pregnant women drink gallons and gallons of unpasteurized cows milk which everybody know is clinically dangerous. It can lead to serious foodborne illnesses due to dangerous bacteria, including Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, and Campylobacter. Bird flu can even lurk in it. This midwife seemed not care about pregnant people's personal privacy and lets her student-midwives cross examine you like detectives whether you like it or not you're stuck. This midwife treated me in a condescending manner and was very dismissive of my input. I have met narcissists who have behaved similarly in the past. After the experience I was shocked, appalled, disappointed, confused, and completely felt bamboozled. All in all I would say if you care about your life, STEER VERY CLEAR of this place.

Wow! From the time I first asked emailed this company to the time I received my pills, the customer…read moreservice was outstanding!! Jade is amazing!! Baby brain was REAL and she answered every question I had no matter if I had already asked. She is so sweet! You are provided with a cell phone number to text when you go into labor and they come to the hospital to pick up your placenta and they take pictures and go through an entire process, that was explained to me, to clean and encapsulate. When the process was done, we set up and time, and she came all the way to my home to drop off my pills, a card, and my other items that I got! I am impressed with the company! I have been taking my pills for a couple of weeks and I feel fantastic. Not only would I recommend this process, but I would recommend this company! If we decide to have more kids, I do do this over and over again with Benefits Beyond Birth!!
