This birth was intense and full of very strong emotions, Katie was perfect in supporting me and keeping the space safe. She has very a peaceful energy about her. She made me feel really confident and was fully present when I needed her to be. She is incredibly intelligent and very informative. Words cannot even describe how grateful I am for her genuine support. She also guided my husband by teaching him the various ways that he could support me during the pregnancy and during birth. We truly needed that connection to be restored after multiple heartbreaking experiences. Katie is such a treasure to us and we will always remember her as being a huge part of our very empowering birth experience. I couldn't recommend her enough.

She was a fountain of knowledge and wisdom and had such a kind, calming presence. She was a blessing to us pre-delivery as we were in the early months of COVID and everything seemed unpredictable, stressful and scary. Our doctor couldn't tell one day to the next what the hospital policy would be on having support people allowed into the delivery room or what would happen if one of us tested positive to COVID. Meeting with Tammy during that time was so comforting and grounding and her advice was sound and smart. We were hyper focused on getting through the delivery but I have to say Tammy proved to be very valuable post-partum too! She provided truly practical support as needed and made everything feel so much more manageable. She even helped us months later in the transition to solid foods after helping successfully breastfeed to that point. Honestly, I wouldn't hesitate to reach out any time if we needed further support. I am so grateful we had Tammy through the whole experience and can't recommend her enough. I believe she has found her true calling as a doula.

I'm an extensive personal medical researcher and I truly believe Richelle is the best midwife in the State of Utah. She has an extensive knowledge of Pregnancy, Natural childbirth, and Postpartum health for both Mother and baby. I still refer to her as my health professional in lieu of standard doctors because she is so well-informed and can detect problems that most other doctors miss. As a Mother of nine children, I wish I had the arsenal of information I have gained through her when I first got started on my childbirth journey. She is a GEM in the realm of midwifery.

Visits are located in her home basement where she has a little office like setup. She ordered and obtained my blood work, checked urine, and vital signs every visit. Her assistants were amazing and very sweet as well. We spent most of our visits chatting. I really enjoyed the natural approach to everything. The whole vibe is very laid back and casual. A lot of work on mom's end to trust the process, have faith, and know your body is meant to for birthing. Fortunately, I had a really great pregnancy, so we didn't have any interventions along the way. She kept my husband very involved. She provided mounds of education which was nice. At 20 weeks, I opted for the ultrasound to check baby's anatomy. Richelle had a great recommendation for that service. She actually has lots of resource recommendations, which was very helpful. My home birth went amazing even though she was not able to make it in time for the delivery (We live an hour apart, and I have extremely fast labors. This time was 46 minutes from start to finish!) My husband delivered our baby and was very equipped to do so! Richelle and her team arrived after I delivered and took over from there. I felt like me and baby were in good hands! Richelle and 1 assistant took care of my needs while another assistant (sweet Mary :)) did all of baby's cares, which really is just measurements, etc.. Care is really focused on mom & baby bonding, latching, and resting. It is so peaceful and natural!! Richelle and her team did a phenomenal clean up job. My room and bathroom were spotless. They offered to make me food and made sure I had everything I needed. I think my favorite part of all was the in-home postpartum visits! They were such a blessing! I loved not having to pack up my toddler, new baby, all our stuff, get ready, and drive an hour for a visit. It was sooooo sooooo nice to stay comfy in my home while Richelle came to me. I appreciated that very much. Overall, my experience was fantastic, and I am very pleased with how everything turned out! (:

Mamas, if you read any review about Birthing Your Way, I hope it is this one--not to deter anyone…read morefrom making the choice to birth here, but so you can have a holistic view of what this facility offers--or more importantly, what it doesn't offer. I do not believe that Birthing Your Way offers a safe environment for the patients or the employees. I took a tour of Birthing Your Way a little while ago when we were deciding where to birth our second baby. Heather, while polite, was fairly distant with us and not particularly welcoming. While we were touring the facility, a woman who was quite obviously in advanced labor tried to check into the center--or her husband did, since the mother was distressed and seemingly in a lot of pain. Heather acted almost inconvenienced when this laboring mother showed up--she seemed flustered and unprepared. The other midwife quickly tried to rush us through the rest of the tour, giving us a contract sheet and inviting us to sign then if we felt like we liked the facility. We left without signing. I was also concerned with how Heather talked to the other employees at the facility. She was very short and impatient with them and seemed disorganized and frazzled. The midwife who gave us the tour mentioned that most midwives do not stay long at the birth center. When we asked why, she vaguely said that they just move on to other things since many of them are students. However, after observing Heather's behavior for just thirty minutes, I wonder if her leadership attitude and lack of warmth and kindness towards her patients and employees contributes to the turnover rates at Birthing Your Way. Mamas, you want a birthing environment that is welcoming, unhurried, and peaceful. Where you birth your baby matters. I am truly happy for those who had a positive experience here, and I hope that happens for the majority of women, but I implore you to think critically about what you see here before you make a decision. Real changes need to be made before this center can be considered a safe place to birth.

As a husband attending…read moreprenatal, birth, and postpartum appointments, I feel like I can ask all the questions I want and be as involved as I dare. The impressive resources that Heather has at her disposal allow her to handle tricky situations with ease, and her broad experience enables her to recognize and avoid problems early on. We truly felt that our two births with her were exactly what we wanted, and she made them happen how we wanted them to happen. She truly believes in birthing YOUR way! I appreciate the high standards of professionalism we see, especially when it comes to communication. Every time we are faced with a decision or Heather has a suggestion, she is clear about the pros and cons, the potential benefits and hazards, and what a certain course of action might entail or require. However, the reason we will always go back to Birthing Your Way is the connection. Heather is clear and concise, but also kind and empathetic. Her willingness to listen to, help, and work with us quickly made her and my wife fast friends, and her knowledge, skill, and life-saving reactions gained her our trust forever.

The appointments were well scheduled so I had time to address everything I wanted to with Angie. Not a single appointment felt rushed. I had originally planned a birth center birth and eventually changed my mind and decided on a home birth. The birth center is beautiful and comfortable, and I still had most of my appointments there. I had one home visit where I got to talk to Angie about different places I could have my baby, she brought a birth bag and a pool for when birthing time began. The team showed up to my birth and were so attentive to me! I thought for sure there was going to be a huge mess and carpet to clean after the birth but Angie had done such a good job with the chux pads that the carpet was completely clean. The team arranged my bed without me even noticing so right after my baby was born I could move to the bed. It was so perfect! After my baby was born, everyone looked healthy and comfortable, the birth team left the room so I could bond with my new baby.
