So far this has been the best experience you could ever imagine! I came to Seasons after an…read moreabsolutely awful experience with a doctors office and this is 100% what I was looking for. The staff has been so kind and welcoming and they have made it clear I am more than a walking dollar sign to them; they care about me AND my baby. I am switching my care moving forward completely to them and will update this review post birthing experience but so far I can tell you this is miles better than the previous doctors office.

I am a chiropractor and rehab specialist working primarily with pregnancy, postpartum, and kids. I…read moredelivered my third baby at Seasons. My first two were delivered at a birth center near Denver, which we loved. However, after our experience with Seasons we found that it was an even better experience. The front desk staff has always been so welcoming in person and on the phone. Each of the midwives is not only highly skilled, but they are so wonderful when I come in with my two other kiddos (at the time 2 and 4 years old). They allow them to help with the doppler ultrasound, blood pressure,etc. As a parent, this is so wonderful, especially because they would look forward to the baby appointments so they could help and it made them even more excited for their baby! Each session I felt like I had so much time with the midwives to ask whatever questions I wanted and even though this was my third baby, I had a lot of extra curiosity questions due to my line of work. My birth could not have been more peaceful and calming due to my birth team. I not only had my husband and my doula, who they welcomed with open arms, but I had our amazing midwife Aubre (who delivered our first baby at the other birth center), a student midwife, and a wonderful nurse. The entire team made me feel so supported, empowered, and confident. The room felt so comforting by its design, it's warmth, and perfect lighting that together made for me to feel so comfortable. I had made birth plans and goals with my birth team, which my main one was to prevent tearing if possible. I had tearing with my first two births and made a plan with my midwives and doula as to my birthing position and warm compress to help reduce my risk of tearing this time around. Aubre did a great job of supporting my perineum with warm compress and reminding me of the birthing position and I didn't tear this time, which was a game changer in my healing. The team took my vitals and checked baby's heart rate when necessary and only checked my cervix once to see where I was at, but only after I was completely settled into the room. After the birth, I felt like a queen! The team at Seasons took such good care of me! The nurse checked in on us, but left us to sleep and bond. She kept bringing us food and set me up with a wonderful bath (set me up with shampoo, sope, robe... the works). My postpartum hours spent at Seasons I will remember forever. I felt so supported and cared for. My baby was cuddling on my husband's chest, the light was dim, I had a full stomach and I was relaxing in a warm bath reflecting on my amazing birth. If you are considering a birth center, this is the place to be. The entire team from the front desk to the midwives to the nurses and the facility itself are the best around. Being in the birth world, I know a lot about the hospitals and other birth centers and this one is absolutely the best. I look forward to watching their continued growth and support in the community! Thank you Seasons and my birth team for the amazing birth you helped me achieve!

I had a home birth with Janet 6 months ago for my second child, a baby girl. I found Janet at 30…read moreweeks after I had left another midwife who I felt did not listen to my concerns about getting tested for a genetic mutation. The other midwife would not test me, even though the test was a simple blood test. I expressed my concerns to Janet and she ordered a test for me without question, even though she disagreed with me on the relevance of the mutation to pregnancy. Janet listened and eased my fears and walked me through everything I could need to know about how home births usually play out. I had told her that the birth of my son had been traumatic both physically and mentally, and she took that into consideration to make sure that both my mind and my body were cared for during labor. She took all measures necessary to make sure I did not feel violated during this labor as I had with my son. I called Janet to my house once my contractions were close together and unignorable. When she got there, my contractions came erratically and far apart. She stayed for a few hours to see if they would pick back up, and they didn't. She said "I don't think you're in labor." I said, "That's not possible." And she said, "Okay. I'll stay." It is so refreshing to have a medical professional take you seriously and BELIEVE you when you tell her about your own body. About twelve hours of erratic contractions later, Janet informed me that she thought my waters were preventing the baby from dropping down, and asked me whether it would be okay to break my waters. After a few questions, I agreed. She broke my waters and immediately I felt I had to push. Three pushes later I had my baby in my arms. Throughout the intensity of that time, Janet was there encouraging me and making sure I knew I could do it. Thanks in part to her care, I can say that that day is the most proud I've ever been of myself and I am empowered knowing that I'm capable of that degree of strength.

My review is for Janet Schwab particularly. For a CNM, her bedside manner leaves something to be…read moredesired. She knows her stuff, but her 35+ years of experience leave her stuck in her ways. I utilized the Hypnobabies program during my pregnancy and birth, and I always felt like Janet did an internal eye roll anytime I mentioned it. When telling her my preferences for my birth plan, I was basically told how SHE does things and that nearly all of my choices were "wrong." So why did I continue to work with her? To put it simply, she was the only CNM in the state that did home births. Everyone else spoke so highly of her, I never understood the hype. What's worse is that the birth of my daughter took a sharp left turn, and I ultimately had to get a c-section. The level of empathy and follow-up from Janet was subpar at best...and for the hefty bill we paid for her, my dollars could've easily been better spent elsewhere. I was diagnosed with postpartum depression shortly after my daughter's birth. Janet couldn't seem to care less, and all I felt was judgment for wanting to quit breastfeeding. To get an idea for her lack of empathy, just see the attached image of the last text I ever sent to her. It was 6 weeks after my daughter's birth, and she NEVER followed up to see how I was doing or how I was handling the postpartum depression. The last I spoke to her on the phone was to collect our credit card for the final bill. By the time I was due for my 6-week postpartum check up her bill was already paid...so why bother, right?

She spent 2 days in ICU, and was then placed on hospice where she passed away on 10/5/23. Losing your loved one is never the plan, but myself, and my family of 7 have nothing but gratitute and praise for the nurses and staff that cared for her. EACH and EVERY nurse, chaplain, and Hospice staff member gave the most compassionate care for my mom during her week there and her passing. They let us ask every question, explained things thoroughly, and were a constant source of comfort to my whole family during this difficult time. This hospital is very clean, and comfortable. I feel truly blessed to have had my mom's final care with the amazing staff at St. Anthony's North. Thank you so much!!! Angel Smith and Larry Combs

The only thing I have gained from here is DO. OT COME HERE FOR HELP and don't trust any of them rather than you can throw them. Doctors and nurses and they psychiatrists simply could not be bothered to listen and really hear what I was saying. And when I pushed back and tried to advocate for myself the tele-therapist got short and bitchy and hung up on me. The blonde and brunette nurses were condescending and essentially told me "fuck you" when I pointed out that then leaving me alone in a room (while suffering from a mental health crisis) would not be classified as good care. The brunettes told me the "main reason " I was being sent away was because I made a comment about how I THOUGHT it would be better if I were not here. Now I am no doctor, but I have been living in my skin for a few decades, and I'm pretty fucking sure that having THOUGHTS is not the same thing as Taking Action. And thoughts certainly do not meet the expectations of immediate danger. They basically tried to make excuses for them not being clear as to what was happening and when. Piss poor customer service. Waitresses at Dennys are vastly more attentive than these two. I am the patient. I am the one who is down grossly put into debt because I am being pushed into going to get treatment when the fancy pants doctors have not proven that I am an Imminent risk to myself. And let me tell you missy, just because some holds a stupid fucking title that gives them the ability to Lord their power over those who are struggling, does not mean they are making the right decisions. Is there something in their schooling about "Do No Harm???" If you can avoid it don't ever come to the ER if you can avoid it. Mashed potatoes have more compassion than these chuckle fucks.

Terri Burleson did a phenomenal job as my doula. I was first drawn to Terri for her experience and…read morefrom the time my husband and I interviewed her, I felt comfortable with her and trusted her. We met with Terri at 36 weeks and discussed our birth plan. She was non-judgmental, offered suggestions and provided the guidance we needed as first-time parents. We exchanged several text messages leading up to my baby's birth, especially after my OB appointments, or when we had questions, and she was always quick to respond. Of course, our birth plan shifted as soon as my baby decided to arrive two weeks early. I wasn't sure if my water broke, but once we were in hospital triage, we contacted Terri and she calmed us down and gave us confidence that this birth could still be everything we hoped. She came to the hospital to be with me while my husband went back to get the hospital bag, and offered ways for me to try to get labor going without pitocin. She is familiar with St. Anthony North Hospital and worked very well with the staff there. We sent Terri home after a few hours since we knew it would be a waiting game at that point, but she checked in with us into the late night hours. At almost 4 AM, we decided it was time for Terri to come back. Without Terri, I wouldn't have been able to have a natural birth! She was so encouraging and knew exactly what to say and do when I needed it. She helped my husband feel included throughout the whole process, and we appreciated her taking several photos and videos for us so that we have those memories forever. She stayed for a few hours after my baby was born so that we could eat and process the whole experience. She also checked up on me several times once I got home and made one home visit to further process the birth experience and how we were adapting to life as a family of three (plus our pup). We appreciated the written birth story that she sent us as well! I would hire Terri again in a heartbeat. I sincerely feel like she was a big reason why I had a positive birthing experience and that is invaluable to me!

She helped me craft my birth plan with zero judgement and then walked with me through a very long, difficult, and decision-heavy labor. Any time a nurse, doctor, or midwife offered suggestions, I cleared the room except for myself, my husband, and Terri and she gave me the information and support I needed to make the best decision for myself and our baby. I truly cannot recommend Terri enough and I want her to be at every single one of my births.

If you're desiring a midwife who can meet you on all levels of your pregnancy journey, Astrid Grove…read moreis your woman. She is extremely knowledgeable on the biological and physiological levels as well as able to meet a pregnant woman on the spirit and emotional levels. To me this was imperative for me to feel held, cared for, and met through the comprehensive transformation that occurs during pregnancy. She is incredibly empowering to the woman, guiding and supporting her to follow her intuition and instinct. I loved that she often wouldn't tell me what choices to make but would share the relevant information while supporting me to trust my inherent wisdom. She deeply recognizes each woman's journey of becoming a mama is unique and there is not a one size fits all to decisions. She has the capacity to be with any emotions, fears or concerns that may arise as well as connecting with the baby on an energetic and heart level too. I felt so solid with Astrid's care knowing that she'd be able to be with anything that might arise during the journey and during the birth. She is also an incredible herbalist and I love the ways she supports through her wisdom in that arena too, as well as with Mayan abdominal massage. Astrid is deeply wise, incredibly smart and knowledgeable, emotionally intelligent and a heart centered mystic. Her dedication to supporting women to feel empowered in their birth experience emanates through her devoted care. I truly couldn't imagine a more aligned midwife for me.
