    I have nothing but wonderful things to say about The Root!…read more I moved back to Sacramento after living in the Bay Area for 10 years and was looking for an in-person prenatal yoga studio for my second pregnancy like I did with my first pregnancy. After calling many studios in the Sacramento area and finding nothing to support pregnant people, a great friend of mine recommended The Root. I truly enjoyed all the prenatal yoga clases during my pregnancy. When I first arrived, I was immediately welcomed. I felt safe and I felt like I fit in! I enjoyed how the instructors (I attended Gloria's and Kelly's class) always had modifications depending on how far along we were in our pregnancy to make it more comfortable, help us open up more, and prepare for birth. I loved Kelly's head massages and aroma therapy during savasana. After the birth of my child I started attending the pelvic floor class and baby and me yoga classes. This was something I had never done before. But after I found out I had a prolapsed and my physical therapist wasn't available until 4 months from my diagnosis, I decided it was important to go. I've been going to the clases for 3 month now and I truly feel like I have less leaking, more control, and knowledge on my pelvic floor. I love going to the baby and me yoga classes to connect with other moms and to bond with my child all while doing yoga to help me build my strength. I highly recommend The Roots for all pregnant and postpartum people! It's had such a positive impact for my physical and mental health during pregnancy and now in postpartum.

Painful isn't enough to describe the experience. Pregnant with my second son, I didn't want to repeat the experience. Knowing I am likely birth fast again, I wanted to go without pain meds again, with as much help I can get, and natural birth of the planceta. I reached out to Tashina pretty late in my pregnancy. Knowing my situation, she responded to my email right away and managed to squeeze me into her schedule. She did a very thorough interview with me and my husband, fully understood what experience we are looking for and made amazing recommendations. She recommended me with a hospital I wasn't aware of that has great staff and with midwifery care. Since I was late stage pregnant (32+weeks), she pulled all her strings to help the new hospital accept me as a patient. And all the way up until the delivery date, she was only one text/call away for any questions I had. The birth was still painful, but with the midwifery care, Tashina's preparation with me and my husband, the hot tub setup, and her being there as my advocate, the birth was quick, smooth, and no manual extraction of placenta! My second son was almost 8lbs and no tear or stitches. Even weeks after birth, Tashina came visit and always checked in with me to help me with breastfeeding issues, baby colic issues etc. Tashina is so knowledgeable, caring and loving. We will always appreciate her help and she will always be a special person in my second sons life!

    I'm convinced that fate brought Tashina into my life so I could have a beautiful, natural, and…read moreconfident first birth. Other than her deep knowledge of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, there is something extra special about Tashina and the calm presence she brings into your pre and post birth space. She not once shied away or avoided any of my questions or expectations for my birth and was so understanding of my boundaries around specific things. I felt absolutely safe and held by her to surrender to birth completely. Moreover, she helped my husband feel confident in supporting me in a natural birth too. All I can hope for is to have her at any of my future births as well! :) Thank you Tashina!

    I feel incredibly lucky to have had Shalin as my doula for the birth of my second child! Shalin is…read moresuch a warm, caring, and genuine person. As a doula, she is extremely capable, professional, and supportive. When I first connected with Shalin via videochat for a consultation, she instantly made me feel comfortable. I decided to go with Shalin based on how experienced and knowledgeable she seemed, as well as how comprehensive her doula services package was. Over the course of my pregnancy, Shalin visited my house several times to educate my husband and me about the birthing process, evidence-based approaches to birth, and different ways to prepare my body for birth, and to go over my birth plan. The whole process made me feel really prepared for the birth and gave me a greater understanding of what I wanted for the birth. I also appreciated that I got to know Shalin more during the pregnancy so that she didn't feel like a stranger at all. In fact, she is so warm and friendly that she felt more like a friend! She didn't push any particular views on me but wanted me to feel supported in my birth preferences.  When I went into early labor, Shalin was very responsive and kept checking in on me to see how labor was progressing, and when we decided to go to the hospital, she was super quick to meet us there. She was prepared in every way and set up lights and candles for the room. The hospital room was a vibe and very peaceful! Since I gave birth in a hospital setting, it was also important to me to have someone who could help advocate for me. When my hospital care team asked me to do certain things, Shalin checked in with me to see if I wanted to proceed with what they were asking. During the labor, she suggested different laboring positions and did counterpressure and other comfort measures, which helped me tremendously in coping with the pain. With Shalin's help and support, all my birth preferences were met! I had such a positive, empowering labor - something I never would have thought possible after my first delivery experience (without a doula).  I loved having Shalin as my doula and I highly recommend her! I can't stress enough how having her as my doula made such a difference to my second delivery experience. I am so happy with how everything went and really couldn't have done it without Shalin!

    I unequivocally recommend Renee Hanevold for prenatal care and home birth. As a CNM with former L&D…read moreexperience in several hospitals, she has delivered thousands of babies, and has seen many, many different kinds of births. She is committed to home birth as a better birth process, and because of her background she really knows what she is talking about, both about the problems that can come from hospital care and how to watch for serious medical issues that require that hospital care. Renee attended the water birth of my son (she supplied the tub). She helped me through the complication of early water breaking (four days before deliver). We had a successful home birth without pitocin, but I was confident that if we had needed to, Renee would have made the call to transfer to the hospital in a timely, non-emergency manner. Her calm, confident presence at the birth made all the difference for me. Though it is unusual, I had a tear from my birth that required stitches (normally tears can be left to heal better than sewing, but mine was a different kind) and Renee sewed me so well that several doctors who examined me since commented on what an amazing job the person had done on my stitches. For prenatal care, Renee isn't in a hurry, she gives as long as it takes to get your questions answered. She orders routine prenatal labs and ultrasounds when you need / want them, but doesn't force you to get tests you don't want. She also takes care to help mothers prepare emotionally for birth and parenthood, and she welcomes dads at prenatal visits as well. Also, she can really feel what that baby is doing inside you. Even when I couldn't tell, she knew exactly where he was and what he was doing in there. I have no regrets whatsoever about choosing Renee for my home birth, and I only hope that if I have another child I will be able to have her again, or find another midwife at least half as good.

We were aiming for a natural birth experience in a hospital setting, and the Bradley Method has a great reputation for fully preparing women and their partners. When we told the OB we were taking a Bradley Method class, she was very pleased - in her experience, it's been the absolute best preparation for natural birth. We had a phenomenal birth experience, and I credit the class with Megan and Jordan completely. We learned so much from them and were given so much confidence in ourselves. My husband was a full participant because he had been through the class with me, and knew all the ways to support me during the weeks leading up to delivery and during labor. We ended up with a beautiful, healthy baby without any pain medication or other interventions. We knew exactly what to expect at each step of the way, and we were able to be calm and actually enjoy the event. All of the nurses at the hospital commented on how remarkably relaxed we were - that was a state of mind and approach that we learned and practiced with Megan! Participating in a Joy Love Birth class was by far the best investment of time or money we've ever made. Childbirth is an event you'll remember forever, and being well-prepared and in control will make all the difference in the world as far as how you look back on it. Not every type of birth class will prepare you to feel like your own body is in control of the delivery, and I'm so grateful that we found one that did.

    I agree with every glowing review on this yelp page, and add to them my own amazing JoyLoveBirth…read moreexperience!! My husband and I were determined to gain a thorough understanding of pregnancy and childbirth. We wanted to know what was going on, what was going to happen, and what we could do to keep mama and baby healthy and safe throughout! Megan was PHENOMENAL!!! We both looked forward to class every single week - each lesson offered a gold mine of valuable, applicable information that was passionately delivered by Megan and her husband, Jordan. After each class, my husband and I would talk for hours about what we learned and felt inspired to dive into more research about evidence based birth. I absolutely loved that the incredibly well-informed Megan and her fun, clear, powerful teaching style led my husband to start trying to teach his co-worker buddies all about it! Thanks to her Bradley Class, Eric and I were super united from the beginning and we built so much trust together leading up to the birth. He ended up being an amazing birth partner and we owe much of that to Megan's efforts to train us well! I also really appreciated her help drafting and fine tuning our birth plan - she pays such attention to detail and really tailors her efforts for each student because she CARES. This isn't just a job for her, it's her joy and her mission to help mothers and their partners have the best, most informed pregnancy/birth adventure. We also had the ultimate privilege and blessing of Megan's support as our doula. Having become so motivated to have our choices respected and to have a natural, unmedicated birth, we knew we needed Megan in our ranks. This woman is a powerhouse! Seriously so tireless, endlessly patient and calm, prepared for anything. For nearly 20 hours, Megan provided the absolute best encouragement, love, and strength. I needed her! The hubby was well trained, and I definitely needed him there to hold my hand, sway with me, hold me in the shower, etc., but the comfort of an experienced, knowledgeable, strong and loving female to understand me and what I was going through was irreplaceable. There were times when she was right there kneeling on the floor with me adding essential oils to my shower that brought peace to my body and soul and always had a warm washcloth to keep me from getting cold, times when she squeezed my back and hips to help steady the power rushing through, times where she sweetly and reverently watched over us as my husband did his best to support me. Every minute, she was in tune with the process. Though the labor was a long one, I never doubted our mission because of her presence. She is a truly amazing guardian of the birth experience. My husband and I felt so safe in the hospital setting and at home with her on our team. Also, her ability to build up a wonderful rapport with the medical staff helped create a harmonious and happy setting for the birth. We will treasure the months we had with Megan that led up to the greatest moment of our lives!!! Couldn't have been better! We highly recommend her class and her doula skills to any that are lucky enough to snag her!! PS on top of EVERYTHING else she was doing to help us, she also took some wonderful photos of our labor and delivery!! #MVP
