Here is our story. My husband and I originally wanted a midwife at the hospital but due to short…read morestaffing issues they couldn't guaranteed that a midwife would deliver our child. We decided to transfer care to the birthing center in my 3rd trimester. The normal birthing center package advertised on the website includes 13 prenatal visits, labor and delivery, 5 postpartum visits for $7200. We participated in 7 of the 13 prenatal visits and got a $200 late to care discount. At 40 weeks, the birthing center said they were required by law to transfer me back to the hospital for labor and delivery. So back to the hospital we went. We delivered at the hospital at 40 weeks and 1 day. We left the hospital after 24 hours and were expecting to receive at home care from the birthing center and complete our care through them. We were not contacted after birth about our postpartum visits for the 24 hour or 3 day check-ins. At that point, we decided to ask for a refund for the care we did not receive which included labor and delivery and 5 postpartum care appointments. We were refunded $2,929.50 out of our initial $7,000. In total, we participated in 7 of 18 appointments and did not labor or deliver with the center. Therefore, we paid $611 per 30-60 minute check-up appointment before labor. Overall, we felt like the situation was not handled appropriately. We felt taken advantaged of and not treated fairly. We hope for the future that pricing and structures reflect the care that is given.

I can write a super long review but people rarely read them. Just want to say I love this place so…read moremuch. I had a water birth with my first son and definitely wanted one with my second son as well. This place is heaven sent. If you can tolerate labor unmedicated and fully immerse yourself in the miraculous experience of bringing a baby into this world.. this is for you! Brooke is the sweetest and most helpful receptionist. Kayla and Krista the midwives here are beyond knowledgable in their craft. After delivering my boy too quickly things became a bit scary for me and the midwife handled the situation with ease and I felt as though I was in good hands the entire time. I trust these ladies more than doctors and that speaks volumes. My last appointment was a couple weeks ago and I was really sad because it felt like a second home with all the visits. Their care, kindness and compassion is out of this world and even though I only wanted 2 kids initially, I might just have to have a third just because of how much I loved my experience here!

Averee is a wealth of knowledge! I feel confident that when I ask her questions and advice about…read morepregnancy that I'm getting well educated answers. She is so joyful and kind to everyone. I love just being in her presence, you can tell she truly cares about others and wants everyone to feel supported and loved. She's also so talented in making her own line of products.

She is a trusted midwife in our community with a great reputation, you can't go wrong if you hire Averee!

LM Documentaries is a scam. We have been given nothing but empty promises. We have not received our…read morephotos the dates we where supposed to receive them continually changed. Lauren will not respond to any of our texts calls or emails. Unfortunately she was the only photographer we had, the fact that she would scam someone out of their photos of their special day is heart breaking. We are absolutely devastated and all want is our photos. I would highly recommend staying as far away from this company as possible so you dont not habe to endure the heart ache we have had to endure at the hands of this company.

DO NOT HIRE Lauren Manley (LM Documentaries) for photography / videography / content creation. I…read morehave NOT received ANY of my photos/videos/content from my wedding this past August. I hired Lauren for boudoir photography the day of my rehearsal and video content creation for the wedding day itself. My overall experience with Lauren included: - No pre-event planning meeting three weeks prior to the event as agreed to in the contract - No confirmation or communication prior to the day of the rehearsal. I had to email and text her to make sure she was still coming as I hadn't heard anything (despite being paid in full for the services) - She was two hours late to our scheduled boudoir photography time, which pushed us short due to my rehearsal dinner - She brought her boyfriend to the wedding itself without prior communication or approval NO PHOTOS OR VIDEOS RECEIVED, including: - 5+ boudoir sneak peak images to be delivered within 48 hours - A full 30+ boudoir image album - One ready to post short form video - One 2-3 minute recap video of my wedding day -Unedited content (unlimited unedited photo/video clips) which should have been available 24 hours after the wedding\ Edited content available within 72 hours Despite many texts, calls, and emails from me over these past 8 weeks, I have received nothing. I have been promised a link to my digital album one time in person the night of the wedding, and three times via text message over the 8 weeks. I had to dispute the charges to get my money back as I've heard no response. I'm now missing a ton of photo and videos from my wedding that I was assured would be captured and sent to me. You can't get those memories, speeches, and special moments back. She is not worth the stress, hassle, and complete lack of professionalism that she brings with her services.
