Enough could not be said about Bethany Stricker. She's like a warm hug every time you see her. She's welcoming and kind, but by far one of the most knowledgeable midwives I know. She's a life long learner and well versed in EVERYTHING. I never mentioned anything she didn't know something about. It was amazing. Because of her knowledge, I felt confident in my process and trusted she would always serve me and my family well. She had unlimited resources, and has a referral for everything. I loved how resourceful she is and how she knew she couldn't do it - she helps you create a team to support your pregnancy, labor, and baby. She also doesn't stop there. Unlike more care providers, she sees you until 12 weeks postpartum. While most care providers also only ask your birth plan, she made me write down and think through my postpartum plan as well. Through this, I could tell she cared deeply about the entire process, not just pregnancy. Her willingness to bring my first born into all the appointments was heart warming. Even when my first born threw tantrums, or shifted the time to her, Bethany handled it with grace and a smile, never making us feel any type of way about it all. Bethany welcomed my family to each appointment and celebrated who we were. If it at all is a concern for women of color, Bethany is anti-racist and strives to love women well, listen well, and curate care specific for each woman before her. One size does not fit all in her practice, each woman is tender and care for by Bethany in a high caliber. She also has and EXTREMELY large lending library that's awesome. I was even able to check out books about midwives and home births for my daughter to prepare her for this home birth. She also isn't afraid of breech, VBACs, or first out of hospital births. She can and will equip you to take have the birth you want. Now, she's only a facilitator, you must listen also and follow through, but she has all the resources you'll need to have the birth you want. I cannot say enough of what Bethany meant to me and my family. She is family. She is kind, she is smart, and she is driven. I appreciate her deeply. You will not regret using her as your midwife. read more
