Ashley helped me throughout my pregnancy and birth in 2023. I cannot say enough good things about…read moreher! She gave me invaluable advice and support throughout pregnancy, making herself available by phone or text any time I had a question. Her support didn't end with just the birth either. She continued to support me throughout my breastfeeding journey, making house calls and answering all of my texts when I didn't know what to do. I have even reached out to her a year later with questions about weaning. It truly feels like I have gained a really knowledgeable friend throughout this experience. Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum are such vulnerable, personal times in our lives. Having someone like Ashley in your corner just makes you feel some confidence in those times.

Lynzie was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond in every way, not just caring for our…read morebaby with so much love, but also supporting us as parents. Our daughter was a NICU grad, so those early weeks felt especially intense, and Lynzie handled everything with such calm confidence. She was a huge help with all things lactation and latch, which made a meaningful difference right away. She kept thoughtful daily notes, was always on time, and brought a steady, capable presence into our home. Beyond that, she taught us so much about sleep and newborn rhythms, and gave us real confidence as new parents. She also checked in on us, which meant a lot during a pretty overwhelming time. And on top of everything, she is just a genuinely fun, warm person to be around. We feel so lucky to have had her.

She is so knowledgeable and as new parents it was incredibly helpful to have her as a source of reliable information in addition to the excellent care she provided our daughter.

My symptoms were- I had a pinching in my lower back and it caused my leg to twitch. Or I would be on my stomach stretching and my legs would go numb after during a cobra pose. After 5 sessions with Crystal, the twitch went away. I am feeling so much relief and have little to no pain anymore. But I always look forward to my check-ins with her to maintain alignment on a monthly basis. In addition, she is always on time for her appointments and a joy to be around! I highly recommend booking an appointment with her.

I contacted Motherways for a Birth Story Medicine session after the homebirth of my first daughter…read more There was a small moment in my labor that I had spent 3 months postpartum obsessing over as a failure. In one hour, Virginia helped me transform it into a triumph. I now appreciate that I intuitively knew exactly what to do to birth my baby, including being open to help when the time called for it. Receiving love turned out to be an integral part of motherhood! I recently gave birth to our second daughter, and when we encountered a true obstetric emergency, my husband and I readily accepted the assistance we needed to birth her safely at home. Not only was I not traumatized by the situation, I feel completely empowered by her birth! Thank you, Virginia, for helping me to honor my inner love warrior!

It helped us to really connect in a spiritual way before the baby came. I had no idea what having a baby would be like but I used many of the pain coping techniques she offered and I managed to make it thru 24 hours of back labor with no epidural! She went on to be an amazing contributor to my successful breastfeeding experience. I was so distraught in the first week because I was having so many issues with latch, confidence, timing, etc. Like most first times Moms- I was having a very difficult time nursing. She came to my house and helped me to understand the logistics of breastfeeding. After her visit my confidence soared, my heart was at ease, and I never had a problem with breastfeeding again! Never had to supplement another bottle! In fact, almost 2 years later I am still successfully nursing. Also, she knew that I was new to the area so she offered to hook me up with a like-minded Mama-to-be who she thought I would hit it off with. Well, sure enough, she's been a great friend of mine ever since and we love having playdates with our little ones! I feel forever grateful to Virginia and am so lucky to know her. She truly is an amazing woman, and I HIGHLY recommend any of the services she has to offer!

My MIL wanted to stay at home so my family moved in Aug 2012. We worked closely with the Complete Care SB since I didn't have prior experience as a caregiver. In fact, Carolyn diagnosed the moment my MIL was having a TIA and stayed with us until she was settled in the hospital. She was also there at discharge. Katie took over care a few months later but we never noticed a difference in the exceptional care. They were with us right until the end when my MIL was able to pass peacefully. We would strongly recommend Complete Care Santa Barbara to anyone needing assistance wherever your loved one resides. They made our experience as caregivers so rewarding and gave us so much support. I would have really struggled if it hadn't been for their loving kindness and understanding.

I have been going to her for prenatal (and now postpartum!) massages and always feel so well taken care of and refreshed. I purchased a package deal, which offers a great discount, and she also allowed me to customize it according to my needs. Her space is so cozy and clean, while also providing a professional and relaxing vibe. She offers a fresh cup of hot tea before each session, and gives time for us to chat about anything and everything (but mostly about my needs) and she has the sweetest pup, Kashi, who is also a special guest during each appointment. I highly recommend her!

But I am recommending her because I cannot imagine our birth without her. We planned on an unmedicated, hospital birth but ended up in an emergency cesarean. Many decisions had to be made quickly - baby was not doing well - but Kari's presence relieved so much stress. She knew what we wanted, she understood the medical situation better than we did, and she had already developed relationships with many of the hospital staff and was skillful in communicating with them in a respectful manner while advocating for our needs & preferences (I have heard stories of other doulas in town being unable to collaborate effectively with their hospital team). Both my husband and I felt deeply supported throughout the experience. Despite not having the birth story we had hoped for, we both feel confident that we got the best outcome possible in the situation - with Kari being a central part of that. Thank you Kari!

I was so excited I got to experience that when I had my baby! My son was wedged into my hip and I was dilating unevenly! Kari spent all day with me moving me into different positions and doing new techniques to help get him unwedged! I truly believe without her I might have ended up in a c section! She made me feel so comfortable and helped explain everything that was going on the whole time! We also took our birthing class with her, and I highly recommend you do that. All in all, was by far the best decision we made it! I will be using her for every child in the future.
