She is so knowledgeable when it comes to breastfeeding and has the best advice and tips on positions and excercises to help baby latch better. She is also very skilled at assessing oral ties, but is not pushy in any way to get them released. If you do decide to release a tie, she has a list of people she recommends who are all great too. The support she gives is amazing. she is always so calm and kind and truly cares about helping you. It makes you feel really comfortable. Breastfeeding is not easy but having Julie is a godsend!!

I cannot rave enough about Julie's expertise and kindness! I went in with mastitis and she helped…read moreme to cure it without antibiotics and without an emergency on my hands. She also educated me on flanges and I was using the wrong one thinking I knew everything as this was my second breastfeeding journey. She was beyond kind and took so much time with me to really assess and help me along in my breastfeeding journey! I was so thankful to have this help and now an amazing lactation provider! Every breastfeeding woman should have a Julie in their life!

If you're looking for calm, competent and compassionate care look no further. I am a nurse and I…read morewas impressed with her knowledge and understanding of all things pregnancy and birth related. She was able to answer every single concern or question I had with evidence based information. Katie is cool under pressure and genuinely enjoys her work. Our birth doula was a rockstar in helping manage labor discomfort. Katie gave gentle cues and performed interventions at the exact right moments to facilitate a quick and drama free birth. My husband and I are forever thankful we met her and we're blessed to have her as our midwife. If you're seeking a beautiful home birth experience she will deliver.

I found Katie when I was newly pregnant with my 6th baby. As you can see, I had plenty of…read morepregnancies and births to compare my experience with Katie to and BY FAR it was the best pregnancy and birth I have had. From the moment we FaceTimed so I could ask initial questions, I knew we were a match. Getting along with someone who was going to care for me and my baby was so huge, and with Katie it was effortless. She not only cared for me, my growing baby, but my whole family as well. Encouraging them to be involved with my care, such as helping listening to baby's heartbeat, measuring my belly etc. She made sure to provide love and care to our whole big family. Through those months, she truly and effortlessly became my friend. I had some previous birth trauma, and not once did Katie allow me to carry that concern deeper into that pregnancy. She answered all of my questions, calmed all of my fears, and supported me in every single decision I made throughout everything. Her experience and knowledge left me with zero space to be worried and I felt so safe with her! She truly went above and beyond what I could have ever expected, and because of her, I was able to have my dream home birth. If God ever decides that there's going to be a baby number seven, I won't hesitate to hire Katie again. Seriously, if you're on the hunt for a midwife and you just can't decide, take this as your sign. Katie is the best of the best! I will forever be thankful to the way she has cared for and loved my family.

Wouldn't recommend this service to anyone! Our experience was very similar to Emily's experience…read more I'd say almost to the T with the exception of her assistant, Sally was great and is one of the reason my wife and son are alive today. My wife and I expressed concerns about her pelvis being too narrow but she brushed it off and we believed her. A mistake that nearly ended my new family. She would say that something was fine and then would say that the same thing was concerning. We chalked it up to her being a bit eccentric. On top of that, we only got reimbursed a little over $100 from insurance and we had Anthem PPO at the time. Not necessarily her fault but it added to the negative experience and expenses. My wife's labor ended up being 24hrs at home and 36hrs total which ended in a C-Section. She was little to no help and it was Sally that recommended we go to the hospital. Plug-in for Rancho Springs, amazing hospital and staff. It's not what we wanted but definitely what we needed and more. We didn't want a hospital birth but they have the best ward bar none. Only hospital me and my wife would go to for this. From our conversations with other people that used her in the past, I think she was once a great midwife but from our experience, I would highly discourage anyone from using her services. If you use her, you'll be playing roulette with you and your child's life.

Would not recommend Our son was born early September 2024…read moreand Anne was our midwife for the pregnancy. During our meetings we were constantly recommended to seek outside opinions from my OBGYN and medical facilities, causing us to spend thousands more during my pregnancy and birth on top of her fee for services ($6000). During my birth Anne and her assistants made the environment stressful when I expressed for my birth to be peaceful to my liking. Upon Anne's arrival she said that I was fully dilated at 6am. At 3pm Anne had checked me and told me that she had still felt some of my cervix (I WAS NOT FULLY DILATED). She had complained earlier in the day that her fingers were too short to check properly, so I'm not sure how she has been a midwife and her fingers be too short to check her clients. I was instructed to push while not being fully dilated. Anne appeared impatient and she didn't seem to know what to do to help me progress. After an hour and a half of pushing she recommended transfer to the hospital. Upon arrival at the hospital I was checked and was dilated to AN EIGHT. The hospital determined that my baby was too large to have naturally. During my pregnancy we brought up the size of my baby and Anne would discredit all the ultrasounds and weight estimates that we were given. I had my baby via c-section and was born at 11 pounds 1 ounce, he would never have been born safely naturally. After my hospital stay we returned home to a birth pool fully inflated and still containing the water from my labor, this was after I was told that everything would be cleaned up before our return. A warning to all, a contract is presented and must be signed that states once Anne shows up to your birth/labor there are NO REFUNDS of any sort. Ultimately I would not recommend Anne's services as a midwife. If you are looking for a midwife to trust as your expert and for a safe, comfortable birth, look elsewhere.

Our experience with Sheri has been amazing! Her classes are so informative and she takes the time…read moreto answer your personal questions. She is very responsive. We even set up a call with her afterwards and she was flexible enough to schedule a personal zoom class for us around our schedule. She gave us a bunch of tips to help with our journey. She also has a vast network of professionals and that helped us find our pediatrician and other resources that we needed. We highly recommend her services.

Sheri was an absolute blessing to our family! Sheri was my labor doula, but it didn't stop there…read more First, as soon as we told her we would like to have her as our doula, she had her phone on her 24/7 to answer any questions I had about my last few weeks of pregnancy. From ways to naturally induce labor, questions about certain pregnancy symptoms, and concerns about labor, she was there to help me to prepare for my upcoming labor and delivery of my son. Sheri was with me throughout my entire 33 hours of labor. She practically turned my labor room into a spa! With aromatherapy, LED candles, relaxing music and essential oils, she made my room so comfortable and serene! She tended to my needs during the entire labor. She used massage, imagery and breathing techniques to get me through every contraction and obstacle in labor. Her experience as a labor and delivery/postpartum nurse also helped to give me piece of mind since she also had the medical background and knowledge to understand everything going on between the medical professionals. She was able to explain to me things I didn't understand, offer suggestions, and be an advocate for me when it came to my nurses and the entire health care team. After the birth of my baby, Sheri continued to go above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. She visited me at the hospital the day after the baby was born and brought me lactation cookies and padsicles (frozen maxi pads with aloe vera and witch hazel... AMAZING!!!), she visited me at my home when I was having issues with breastfeeding, and when I mentioned something about wanting to wear a Moby wrap, she told me she had some loner wraps and brought me one to my home. I could text her anytime of the day with a question or concern and she would respond very quickly. The only way I can truly describe Sheri is by saying she is seriously an angel. Her calm demeanor, her soothing voice, her graciousness, gentleness, sincerity, patience and love for her job make her someone you just want to be around, especially during this very intimate time in your life. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Sheri to anyone looking for a labor or postpartum doula. We don't know how we would have done it without her. She will be a special person in ours and our son's life forever.

We decided that with our for sure LAST baby we would do things differently. After having 2 natural…read more(no meds) hospital births that were not pleasant experiences by any means, I wanted to have a home water birth. Steven made sure I had just that. I did the research and found the absolute BEST midwife I could have ever prayed for. From the very beginning of our journey Christina Sanders made us feel like family. She included everyone in all of the appts, let's just say my 3 year old, Stori, is now a midwife in training. Everything about her and the world of midwifery, let us know we made the perfect decision. It was a very special intimate experience. Though natural labor is excruciatingly painful, being in my own space with my husband and daughter Ahmyiah by my side, along with Christina and Kristen Rud (Midwife in training) it was so peaceful and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. There was less stress, less anxiety, no stupid intake questions that had been answered 100000x before, nobody making you feel incompetent, nobody barking orders. Instead, It was perfect lighting, soothing warm water, Christina reassuring me that I'm doing great and to simply let my body do what it is naturally designed to do, all while surrounded by nothing but love! It's hard to fully describe, just know that it exceeded all of my expectations and I am beyond grateful that I had the opportunity to take this journey with so much love. The postpartum care was unexpected and soooo needed. 1 Day after they came back to check on both of us, bringing me tea and food to assist in the recovery process. Tinctures and herbs to soothe discomfort. 1 week they were back checking on us and providing me with more yummy treats. They even prepared the most beautiful floral/herbal bath for Xo and I to share. It was magical. The GIFTS they made for us OMG if I was a cryer Id have been balling...A couple weeks later I had some weird wacky things going on with my skin, most likely had to do with my liver needing to heal. Christina jumped right in to help me find awesome natural soap for the weird rash and she gave me another tea to help my liver recover, it worked! 6 weeks postpartum we went back to the office for our final check. It was bittersweet, knowing our prenatal journey was over and that would be the last time I'd sit in that office as a pregnant mama. As of today, Xo is 5 months old. We still keep in contact, and always plan to. Christina and Kristen are two beautiful women with hearts of gold that we never knew we needed!!!

She…read morebrought a sense of peace and reassurance that made our decision to have a home birth feel so right. Throughout the entire journey, Coley was there--answering every question, calming every worry, and never once making me feel like I was asking too much (even when I thought I was being annoying, haha). She guided us with so much knowledge and warmth, making sure we always felt safe and supported. Our delivery was long--being my first--but Coley never wavered. She knew exactly what to do, always reassuring us that everything was unfolding just as it should.

Our family is so grateful for the love and care Coley has given us. It was an honor to have her by our side during the most sacred experience of our lives. Coley, being on the other side and experiencing your care from the perspective of a birthing mother really makes me emotional thinking about how much you have impacted my life with your wisdom and loving heart.
