    I'm one day shy of my son's first birthday and as I reflect on my pregnancy and birth and…read morepostpartum experience, the role that Lizz and Elliott played continues to be profoundly instrumental in my overwhelmingly positive perinatal journey. I'm a practicing birth doula who met Lizz and Elliott years ago in a professional setting, and knew after watching them first hand that they were the midwives I wanted when it was my turn. They held me through the great mystery of pregnancy and when we learned that my baby was breech and my plan for a homebirth was no longer in the cards, Lizz and Elliott offered me the support I deeply needed to feel confident and at peace moving forward with a sacred planned cesarean birth. I'll never forget our sweet third trimester visits looking at my son on ultrasound and marveling that he loved being head up. This tone of celebration and acceptance of how things were unfolding and my informed decision to belly birth absolutely led to me having an empowered birth experience, free of trauma and regret, full of the oxytocin that good midwifery care facilitates. I continued my follow-up support with them once I returned home from the hospital, something that was important to me when I decided to work with community midwives. I can confidently say that I achieved my goal for my birth which was that no matter how things might unfold I wanted to feel held and cared for medically, emotionally and spiritually by my team. Sharing some sweet film photos that my doula snapped during a prenatal visit with Lizz!

    I received the best medical care in my life from Lizz and Elliott and their wonderful student…read moremidwives. They were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, accessible, and thoughtful about every aspect of their practice. I felt seen, heard, respected, informed and utterly well-cared for as someone with a non-traditional family structure and a particular medical background. I would recommend them for anyone, and especially for someone who like myself has had some history of less-than-affirming experiences with medical settings.

    Loved how personalized they are with each and everyone of their clients. I really enjoyed my visits…read morewith the midwives every month, and always felt very cared for.

    It's difficult to give a 1 star here, but I feel a sense of responsibility to do so…read more My wife and I have had a positive birth experience, and all is well so far (thankfully), that positive birth experience was not at True North, but at St. Joseph Medical Center, where our child was born via a Cesarean (C) Section. Our experience at True North started off fine. Got some great classes taught by Wilder (who is a great Doula). At 32 weeks, we had an ultrasound done at a separate facility, the baby was in breech position then. No cause for alarm, it was still early. Weeks 32-40 rolled by with about 5-6 appointments at True North, where we were comforted by 3 separate midwives that the baby was now head down and lowering into the pelvic floor. This was assumed through a manual/hand feeling method called the "Leopold's Maneuver". No ultrasound was done or offered. At Week 40, on our due date, already having some contractions (10-15 mins apart, steady for 2-3 days), we showed up to our appointment. The midwife (this time Melanie) felt the baby and confirmed head down with smiles and affirming language. She then offered us an ultrasound to confirm, and this is when she realized (we all did) that our child was actually still head up. We verbally confirmed with Melanie that no ultrasound was done from weeks 32-40, and that this was a complete miss on the midwives part. She apologized and said there will be a new protocol to do ultrasounds more often. We're rational people, and we identified early in the pregnancy that the romantic goal of a birth center birth was ideal, but we kept our emotions at bay, and did what was needed: we requested an immediate transfer to a hospital for a C-Section. A day or so after the operation, I emailed the owner, Ashley Jones (MW60832856) asking to confirm the events I've outlined above. We got a drawn out response that started with emotional manipulation (saying that she understands how this can make us emotional and must be so difficult to deal with ) and was followed by classic misdirection and a condescending explanation of the Leopold Maneuvers, how experienced and trusted her team was, how these things happen, what an "unstable lie" is, and so on. Well okay, I had to get specific, so I asked more blunt questions: "1. During our 40 week check up, Melanie used the said and trusted Leopold Maneuver and confirmed head down, then she took out the ultrasound and was proven wrong. Are you saying it is possible that the baby flipped within the couple of minutes that passed between the two methods of a position check? 2. For a confirmed breech baby at 32 weeks, are you saying that the protocol at True North is to forego ultrasounds and use manual methods to monitor baby's position?" To which she responded: Email 1: "I believe I have answered all of your questions in my original response. I understand that it can be difficult to think everything was ok coming into a prenatal appointment late in pregnancy and having the entire plan change in an instant. I know this can take time to process and I hope you are all feeling well supported by friends and family in this postpartum period." - Ashley Jones When I pressed again to just get succinct answers, I got this response: Email #2: "Please revert to my initial response. I believe I have given quite detailed responses into the events leading up to [child's name]'s birth. I wish you all the best." - Ashley Jones I've stopped there, dumbfounded at the lack of discipline and accountability. To keep things positive, St. Joseph's family birth center is phenomenal! Great staff, friendly, knowledgeable, responsible, and detail oriented. I know events in all our lives have a purpose, that's why it was so easy for us to make the shift in the last minute, but as to what is going on at True North? I have to shrug my shoulders and just put our experience out there.
