She displayed an extremely high level of compassion and genuine concern for both my and my newborn's well-being, helping us navigate issues related to engorgement, breast-milk supply, pumping, and latching. She makes herself readily available to clients, offering "real-time" troubleshooting advice via text messaging. Her support and encouragement had made all the difference for us, and I can not recommend her services more highly!

I can't recommend Maria enough! After struggling countless times to get my baby to latch--even with…read morehelp from nurses at the hospital--I was feeling discouraged. But during our session, she showed me a simple trick using a nipple shield that made an immediate difference. Beyond her expertise, what really sets Maria apart is her ongoing support. She doesn't just come for a visit and leave you in the dark. She stays in touch through text, helping troubleshoot issues and following up until we both feel another visit is necessary. Her responsiveness and dedication gave me so much confidence in my breastfeeding journey. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and truly supportive lactation consultant, Maria is the one! I'm so grateful for her help and highly recommend her to any new moms needing guidance.

She was direct yet soft, quick to reply over email on any issues I was having in between appointments, and extremely knowledgeable. She keeps up to date on studies which I greatly appreciate as medical professional myself. Simply put, Renee is an expert in this field. I recommend her to anyone wanting to nurse pain-free. She also had great tips for bottle feeding. My baby is 2 months now and exclusively breastmilk, both with nursing and bottle. I owe it all to Renee.

Pretty bad experience and a complete waste of time. Before my first appointment I filled a detailed…read morequestionnaire that included insurance information. Still, during the first 15-20 minutes of my appointment she kept grilling me about my insurance information, wasting my time. After that she wasted some more time dissing the newborn care classes I attended at Swedish. I had already decided against getting long term care by now, this kind of negative attitude is not conducive for sure and I totally agree with the other reviews about the dismissive and negative personality traits. The funny thing is after a few weeks she reached out complaining that she was not able to make an insurance claim. However, I checked both my primary and secondary insurance claims, and the claim related to her was processed by both the primary and secondary insurance.

Coming to health:latch and Dr Thomas was a God send, the procedure took no time at all! She was a little uncomfortable for the first few feeds but after that she eats wonderfully, is much more satisfied after a feeding and has a much deeper latch. They used a super bill as well so we were able to bill to our insurance and be paid back as well. Now at 6 months we are even happier that we did this for her long term health, its such an amazing change! Thank you so much!

We were matched with Jen based on our request for a size friendly doula with a sense of humor, and…read moreboy did she deliver! We received prepartum, postpartum, and birth/delivery support from Jen. She met with us before my due date and educated us on what to expect from her, as well as different techniques she uses to provide support and pain management during labor. After being admitted to the hospital I called Jen and asked that she come and be with us for the labor. She came with her "bag of tricks" and knowledge of how to support both my husband and I during the ten hours of labor. She lead us through silly walks down the hall, held my hand while I threw up in the hallway, and urged me to moan it out during contractions. She spoke with my excited (and anxious) mother-in-law and ensured that my husband got breaks and ate. Towards the end of labor the baby's heart rate monitor stopped picking up her heartbeat, which resulted in lots of stress and anxiety from hospital staff, and an increase in the number of people in the room. Jen kept my husband and I calm and focused on the task at hand -- birthing our beautiful daughter. Instead of getting caught up in the frantic energy of the room I was able to ignore much of what was happening around me because of Jen's calming words and affirmations. I know we could have birthed our daughter without Jen there, but it would have been a much different experience, one that would have been more stressful, bewildering, as well as emotionally and physically draining. Postpartum care has been instrumental in gaining confidence as a new parent. She visited days after our daughter's birth, encouraging us as she checked on breastfeeding and our emotional well-being. She has been super at responding to my random questions via text (Is this amount of spit-up normal? What is this discharge coming out of her? Am I diapering her correctly?) No question has been too small or weird for her to answer. Jen has been a wonderful support as we navigate the transition from a family of two to a family of three.

As an anxious first time mom, I was underwhelmed by the lactation visit I had with Andrea. During…read morethe appointment - she never checked my child's latch, looked from her chair and asked if it felt okay. Would have appreciated some more guidance since again, I was a new mom that was very unsure of how and what to look for in the latch.

Would not recommend her services.

I was so pleased with the care I received. When it came time for delivery she was super responsive and knew exactly when to come and be with my husband and I at my home. We ended up delivering at the hospital because of meconium and Andrea handled the transfer so quickly and smoothly! My husband and I were both very scared and she was very reassuring and calming. She and her team made a chaotic transfer seem like a walk in the park. Once we got to the hospital, she didn't leave my side until hours after my birth. My husband and I were so thankful for her support and guidance. Thanks to her, Felicia, and Sadie, I was able to labor at home basically right up until I delivered my son. I'm so thankful for her and will definitely use her services for future pregnancies! I seriously cannot recommend her highly enough.

I realize they "specialize" in nursing supplies, etc., but they also say they are mastectomy supply fitters... they are not. If you're a size 36B you might have luck but other than that forget it. After waiting for 2 1/2 weeks for items to arrive, I got into my appointment 40 minutes after the scheduled appointment time, wrong sizes, gal didn't remember what she had set aside for me because they were mixed in with other items, no clue how to fit a bra cup size with or without a prosthesis. Completely disgusted, aggravated, disappointed, annoyed at this place. Will do my best to NEVER come back here again.

The level of compassion and knowledge that she has is unparalleled and it was especially evident while I experienced loss. I also continued care with this group during my latest pregnancy and birth. I trust these women whole heartedly when it comes to making decisions about pregnancy and I always feel heard. Appointments are never rushed. My planned home birth turned into transferring care to a hospital because of low amniotic fluid. Through the transition of care all the way to the birth of my son, Cindie was paramount in supporting me in a way that left me feeling grateful beyond words that I chose Midwife Seattle. I would recommend Midwife Seattle to anyone seeking a home birth with the most amazing, compassionate, caring, and smart midwives in Seattle!

I felt like I learned more from her about my current random annoying small medical problems than I have ever learned from any doctor! Mel was my midwife for my daughter's home birth almost 1.5 years ago now. Birthing wasn't as bad as people make it osund. I understand why birthing moms may want epidurals, but in labor it was clear to me that there was no way anyone was getting me in a moving vehicle of any kind. I saw her, Jen and Cindi for prenatal care. The prenatal checkups were laid back, I felt well informed. They listened to me and would do what was necessary at visits while keeping the visits informal feeling, more of a dialogue of how pregnancy was going for me. As of maybe 2 months ago Midwife Seattle has split into two practices: Cindi and Amanda, and Mel and Jen. It came down to some insurance issue having to do with hospital births. So now all of them only do home births. Cindi and Amanda are at Midwife Seattle and I cannot recall the name of Mel and Jen's new practice.
