Friend Lauren C. recommended this spot to me when I was considering hiring a doula for my first…read morebirth. Their website is helpful and informative, and we were able to submit a form to be contacted - we met Jasmine on site to hear more about their doula services and other offerings. If you know early on that you're interested in using a doula, contact them sooner rather than later, as they have Open House events where you can meet their various providers to see who might be a good fit for you. I ended up getting induced a week later and did not end up using a doula - while my delivery went just fine without, it's worth looking into if you can afford it, and there is evidence that their involvement can shorten labor and improve outcomes. As first-time (and probably only-time parents), we were more concerned about having someone able to fully explain options to us and advocate for what we wanted in the hospital environment. That being said, WRM has more than just doula services - they also have midwives and a lactation consultant, as well as several classes offered onsite that you can take before, during and after your pregnancy. My husband and I took their 2-hour Newborn Care Class and it was helpful to hear the most important info and ask questions right before we had our baby. The class included a helpful book with free access to an app, and was led by their lactation consultant, Rory. It also served as a good way to get to know her in case we ended up needing LC services.

I know this review is long but PLEASE take the time to read, hiring a healthcare professional to…read moreassist you during and after birth is crucial to you and your baby's wellness. Don't make the same mistake we did. We hired Emily as an advanced doula from WRM when I was a little over 38wks. I didn't agree with my OBs decision to induce me early so even though I was so close to giving birth I considered going for the natural way instead. After meeting with Emily, my husband and I decided to labor at home and a hospital birth with Emily as our Doula. We only met with her Twice for prenatal care where we discussed my birth plan, and my main concerns about birth. I was very adamant about not wanting an induction. I also expressed my concerns regarding breastfeeding. She reassured me that even though things might not always go according to plan than she, as my doula/advocate will do her best to still give me the ideal birth I wanted by making sure my birth plan/requests are still honored. Also, that she will assist us with our transition taking our baby home. Everything sounded good. And I was looking forward to working with her. She said she can be in the OR during the delivery- she said it's all good because one of their owners actually sits on the board of Henderson Hospital. So they know her there and know her work. On the day my water broke I kept her posted. Texting and calling through contractions until it got really painful that my husband had to take over. Now just to really show you how unethical and uncompassionate Emily and this whole company is, She then asked for more money DURING LABOR!! stating that according to her contract half her doula fee of $1200 had to be paid before she can go to the hospital with us. We had already paid $900, and at the office she said we only needed to pay half prior the delivery and there will be a payment plan. We paid but this just left such a bad taste in my mouth. When Emily arrived at the hospital It had already been 36 hours since my water broke. My Doctor discussed the complications of a vaginal birth in my case. He suggested that I go for a c section because he thinks my baby will be 9-10 pounds & gave us a couple of hours to make a decision. I was so scared and so frustrated. I was in pain! After long consideration, we didn't want to take such great risks and decided to go for the surgery. Prior to going into surgery I Spoke with Emily again about my birth plan. I asked her if she will be there with me to watch over the whole thing and she said Yes. I really expected her to be present in the OR, as she will act as my advocate making sure my requests for my birth and baby were honored. I thought even if it's a c section, my birth can still be somewhat ideal. Unfortunately, most things on my plan were not followed: - I did not get immediate skin to - My baby's vernix was wiped off. - Cord clamping was Not delayed. - Exams for baby were not delayed. - Vaginal swab for cesarean birth was not done. Needless to say, I was so sad about this. Emily bought us dinner, took pictures & then left...since she can't do any sort of medical assistance there, she might as well be just any other visitor. She might as well just text us and act like a virtual doula because she was of no use to us at the hospital. After delivery my main concern was my baby's latch and breastfeeding. Emily sent me a "How to breastfeed" YouTube video the night of my delivery - like I will have the time to watch that?! I could have looked that up myself. These are all examples of her failing to show up for us. The first hours with my child are incredibly important! I needed immediate post partum care/ lactation assistance! Once you're in hospital care they hit you with "It's a liability!" Therefore their care cannot be provided. All their help are now deemed useless. If we fully understood this ' you're now under Hospital care caveat, that they can't intervene because it's all up to our doctors and nurses now, we wouldn't have hired WRM in the first place. When you complain about the lack of care/ services, get ready to be answered with...well technically it's in your contract so sorry. You're trying to cover with technicalities now? From a contract we unwittingly signed on an iPad for one minute on our way out the door. We had a TWO HOUR!! consultation with them, you'd think they'd take two minutes to go through the contract/ scope of services and limitations with you before taking your money. We tried setting up a meeting to discuss our experience multiple times in the course of 2 weeks, Not a single staff member from the WRM office returned our calls or bothered to get back to us. Again showing the lack of care for their paying clients. We're currently waiting on the status of this matter. I'll keep this review updated.

From the moment I met Tiffanie I knew she was the perfect midwife for me. With this being my second…read morebirth, (my first home birth) I knew I wanted someone with a kind, gentle spirit yet would simultaneously carry themselves in such a way that would allow me to fully trust in their ability and qualifications as a trained professional. I immediately knew Tiffanie was this perfect combination of gentleness and calmness and yet confident and sure in her experience and training. I'm so unbelievably grateful for the entire midwifery services provided by Mother's Choice Midwifery from start to finish. From every prenatal appointment to labor/delivery to postpartum care, I was continually supported and guided through every stage of my prenatal and postnatal care. I'm so grateful for midwives that trust the birthing process and the woman's ability to birth her baby. During my 41st week of pregnany my baby must have flipped without me knowing because while in labor we learned that baby had gone breech! When Tiffanie arrived at my home, I was asked if I wanted to be checked and told prior to the exam that based on the meconium coming out that she believed baby was breech. To all of our surprise, my baby indeed had gone breech! Tiffanie let us know that if we went to a hospital it would be an immediate c-section. Ironically, she had just received even further training on breech births. We went over our options and any potential risks involved and my husband and I were left to privately discuss what we wanted to do. Because I was fully dilated and more importantly, Tiffanie's absolute confidence in my ability to birth my baby in the safety of my home we decided to stay home and I'm so unbelievably grateful we did! About an hour and a half after Tiffanie arrived and checked me, our perfect little breech baby girl was born!!! Such an amazing experience and testimony to God's perfect plan! I cannot say enough good things about Mother's Choice Midwifery and I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

She knew just what to do to reach the 'finale' safely. All along the way, she made sure anything she did was with my consent. She was calm & reassuring. I'm so glad & grateful she accepted me as her client, & was the person to deliver my precious baby.

If you are keen on dealing with trauma caused by your midwife, you should hire Sherry Hopkins at…read moreWRM! I met her in 2019 and she was my midwife for my two home births. I was grateful for my home births and I cared so much about Sherry and did my best to support her out of love, when her family faced a huge tragedy. We became friends, or so I thought. In Dec. 2023, she told me she received texts from a number that she didn't recognize, from someone who would not identify themselves. She asked me if I was sending the messages. I told her that I was definitely not the one sending them. In Jan. 2024, she told me she'd received an anonymous letter. I again told her that I had nothing to do with it. She clearly didn't believe me and blocked me on social media. She then started texting my husband. She sent him screenshots of her text conversations with unknown numbers. She told my husband that her daughter and students were receiving messages too. In one screenshot, the person texting identified themselves as "Chelsea". She saw this as evidence that the messages were from me. The messages in the screenshots were horrific, and full of obscenities. They were full of spelling and grammatical errors and said things that have never come out of my mouth, yet she was convinced they were from me. What came next presents a character issue that you may want to consider prior to hiring her. She told my husband I have postpartum depression and need therapy. She expressed sudden faux concern as my "care provider". This was an entire year after her role as my care provider concluded. With no evidence of any of the messages she received being from the actual me, she told my husband that she was going to get her attorney involved, as well as the police and CPS. She said that's because she's a mandated reporter. My husband told her to call the police and figure out who was sending the messages, as it was not me. She repeated her plan after I again explained that I had nothing to do with the messages she was receiving and I asked her to stop contacting us. I then called the police and filed a report to explain what I was being accused of and shared the messages she had been sending to my husband. The following day she called CPS, who had the police reach out to my husband and I, to ask if I wanted to harm myself or my children. I referred to my earlier report and they asked if I knew anything about her mental health status. Imagine for a moment that the care provider whom you trusted with your life and your children's lives at the time of their births, decides to report you to CPS with false accusations while using their professional role to try to bolster their baseless claim. Unprofessional is one word for it, gross is another. She then asked if we were at home as she wanted to bring us a "gift." She followed that with a screenshot of texts that included a selfie of herself, giving the middle finger, and a paragraph of words unbecoming of a care provider who cares primarily for women. Finally, she called my husband twice. He didn't answer and she left a voicemail. In her voicemail she identified herself, my husband and me by name and threatened to come over to our house and make me stop sending the messages she was accusing me of sending. Her final words to him were to "get control of your f-ing wife." I had blocked her and just recently realized that she had left me two voicemails a few hours prior to the one she left for my husband. In them, she was mockingly sweet and one said "Hey Chelsea, it's Sherry, your bestie. Why don't you give me a call when you can, I would love to hear from you, just wanna hear your sweet, sweet voice..." I'm glad she didn't show up to my house after threatening to, because my oldest kid loved her and wants to be a midwife someday. I didn't want my child's view of Sherry to be marred. Alas, one of the greatest benefits of hiring a midwife can be one of its greatest drawbacks as well. Your midwife gets to know your whole family. Consider this carefully, before you introduce your family to Sherry. I've never had someone call me a four-letter word that starts with c, ends with t, and is a vulgar way of referring to a woman. I guess she thinks she called me that. She sent a screenshot of the conversation she thought she was having with me. I don't know who she actually called that, but my guess is that he lives with her. This isn't about his choices. This is about her words and actions, which she is fully responsible for. I have reclaimed my birth stories in my memories, I was the powerful woman who birthed my babies, and my family was at the center of my births. I am grateful for what I learned from her, about humans like her. I do wish that I'd learned in a less painful way. She told me that everyone abandons her when she doesn't meet their expectations. I realize now what a convenient excuse this is. I hope she seeks healing for herself, so she stops hurting those she uses and controls.

We soon dropped our OBGYN because we found that Cassie provided everything we needed. When they came to our house to help me with my birth, Cassie and Jacinta made the most amazing team.
