I appreciated that we also shared the same values as Christians. From day one of official care, the entire team was incredible welcoming and once again, experienced and intelligence. I always got my questions answered and felt so much confidence and support from them. Prenatal care was more than I could ask for- I never felt rushed and always felt taken care of. The birth experience itself went amazing and while there's a lot I attribute to that but the biggest thing I'm grateful for was Amy helped naturally get labor progressing at 40 weeks because my mom was in town from out of the country and was leaving 3 days later so I was anxious to have the baby before she left. Well sure enough, Amy worked her magic and I went into labor less than 12 hours later! Once again her confidence was so assuring. During the birth itself Amy, Desi and Debbie were such a calming supportive force. They quietly and efficiently took care of me. Amy especially while I was pushing was everything I needed. And they all did everything perfectly to ensure I was comfortable after and informed. They took such good care of my baby and I felt so loved and cared for! I couldn't have made a better decision going with Peaceful Midwifery! I'm currently 3 days postpartum and have had daily check-ins and an in person visit and feel so cared for. If you're deciding what group to go with or if you want to do an at home birth, Amy and her team are the best possible choice! And I'm so happy we did a home birth.

I had recently been diagnosed with GD and although being told initially that I could not have an out of hospital birth, I was determined to have the dream home birth that I have always hoped for. Amy, Desi, and their team gave me all the support and encouragement I needed to fulfill this dream. For every ailment I had during pregnancy, they had a holistic and effective way of addressing the issue. I was honestly blown away. If I have any more kids in the future, I will for sure go back to Peaceful Birth Midwifery in a heart beat. Awesome team!

I can't say enough good things about Birthing Your Way! I loved my prenatal care, I always felt…read morecomfortable asking tons of questions during my pregnancy. The midwives were caring and attentive and had great recommendations. They supported my decisions and preferences like choosing not to ultrasound and using a fetascope instead of a Doppler. During my labor and birthing time they were supportive, relaxed, non-invasive, and completely encouraging and helpful. Due to their help, I didn't tear or hemorrhage and I had an amazing birth experience. My sons birth was one of the highlights of my life and I'm so glad I chose Birthing Your Way. After birth, the midwives took excellent care of me, cleaned me up, helped me breastfeed my baby, kept my husband and I fed, never rushed us, and were so kind. If you're looking for an awesome birth staff and birth environment, I'd highly recommend Birthing Your Way. Note-- Before choosing Birthing Your Way, I'd seen a few really negative reviews online which made a little nervous. After my experience, I'd say something I really loved about the midwives is that they are honest. If you want or don't want something, you need to tell them directly. If you communicate with them and don't assume anything, you'll have a great experience. They totally want to support you, but you have to do your part and communicate assertively. Also, just go in and meet the midwives if you're considering Birthing Your Way.

Mamas, if you read any review about Birthing Your Way, I hope it is this one--not to deter anyone…read morefrom making the choice to birth here, but so you can have a holistic view of what this facility offers--or more importantly, what it doesn't offer. I do not believe that Birthing Your Way offers a safe environment for the patients or the employees. I took a tour of Birthing Your Way a little while ago when we were deciding where to birth our second baby. Heather, while polite, was fairly distant with us and not particularly welcoming. While we were touring the facility, a woman who was quite obviously in advanced labor tried to check into the center--or her husband did, since the mother was distressed and seemingly in a lot of pain. Heather acted almost inconvenienced when this laboring mother showed up--she seemed flustered and unprepared. The other midwife quickly tried to rush us through the rest of the tour, giving us a contract sheet and inviting us to sign then if we felt like we liked the facility. We left without signing. I was also concerned with how Heather talked to the other employees at the facility. She was very short and impatient with them and seemed disorganized and frazzled. The midwife who gave us the tour mentioned that most midwives do not stay long at the birth center. When we asked why, she vaguely said that they just move on to other things since many of them are students. However, after observing Heather's behavior for just thirty minutes, I wonder if her leadership attitude and lack of warmth and kindness towards her patients and employees contributes to the turnover rates at Birthing Your Way. Mamas, you want a birthing environment that is welcoming, unhurried, and peaceful. Where you birth your baby matters. I am truly happy for those who had a positive experience here, and I hope that happens for the majority of women, but I implore you to think critically about what you see here before you make a decision. Real changes need to be made before this center can be considered a safe place to birth.

This birth was intense and full of very strong emotions, Katie was perfect in supporting me and keeping the space safe. She has very a peaceful energy about her. She made me feel really confident and was fully present when I needed her to be. She is incredibly intelligent and very informative. Words cannot even describe how grateful I am for her genuine support. She also guided my husband by teaching him the various ways that he could support me during the pregnancy and during birth. We truly needed that connection to be restored after multiple heartbreaking experiences. Katie is such a treasure to us and we will always remember her as being a huge part of our very empowering birth experience. I couldn't recommend her enough.

I'm an extensive personal medical researcher and I truly believe Richelle is the best midwife in the State of Utah. She has an extensive knowledge of Pregnancy, Natural childbirth, and Postpartum health for both Mother and baby. I still refer to her as my health professional in lieu of standard doctors because she is so well-informed and can detect problems that most other doctors miss. As a Mother of nine children, I wish I had the arsenal of information I have gained through her when I first got started on my childbirth journey. She is a GEM in the realm of midwifery.

Visits are located in her home basement where she has a little office like setup. She ordered and obtained my blood work, checked urine, and vital signs every visit. Her assistants were amazing and very sweet as well. We spent most of our visits chatting. I really enjoyed the natural approach to everything. The whole vibe is very laid back and casual. A lot of work on mom's end to trust the process, have faith, and know your body is meant to for birthing. Fortunately, I had a really great pregnancy, so we didn't have any interventions along the way. She kept my husband very involved. She provided mounds of education which was nice. At 20 weeks, I opted for the ultrasound to check baby's anatomy. Richelle had a great recommendation for that service. She actually has lots of resource recommendations, which was very helpful. My home birth went amazing even though she was not able to make it in time for the delivery (We live an hour apart, and I have extremely fast labors. This time was 46 minutes from start to finish!) My husband delivered our baby and was very equipped to do so! Richelle and her team arrived after I delivered and took over from there. I felt like me and baby were in good hands! Richelle and 1 assistant took care of my needs while another assistant (sweet Mary :)) did all of baby's cares, which really is just measurements, etc.. Care is really focused on mom & baby bonding, latching, and resting. It is so peaceful and natural!! Richelle and her team did a phenomenal clean up job. My room and bathroom were spotless. They offered to make me food and made sure I had everything I needed. I think my favorite part of all was the in-home postpartum visits! They were such a blessing! I loved not having to pack up my toddler, new baby, all our stuff, get ready, and drive an hour for a visit. It was sooooo sooooo nice to stay comfy in my home while Richelle came to me. I appreciated that very much. Overall, my experience was fantastic, and I am very pleased with how everything turned out! (:

I started seeing Angie When I was about 12 weeks pregnant. Every appointment was on time and I…read morereally felt like she listened. The appointments were well scheduled so I had time to address everything I wanted to with Angie. Not a single appointment felt rushed. I had originally planned a birth center birth and eventually changed my mind and decided on a home birth. The birth center is beautiful and comfortable, and I still had most of my appointments there. I had one home visit where I got to talk to Angie about different places I could have my baby, she brought a birth bag and a pool for when birthing time began. The team showed up to my birth and were so attentive to me! I thought for sure there was going to be a huge mess and carpet to clean after the birth but Angie had done such a good job with the chux pads that the carpet was completely clean. The team arranged my bed without me even noticing so right after my baby was born I could move to the bed. It was so perfect! After my baby was born, everyone looked healthy and comfortable, the birth team left the room so I could bond with my new baby. My husband got to weigh him, we got to participate in the newborn exams. It was just a great experience! I wouldn't have it any other way!

We are first-time parents and as we sit here with our 10-week old baby girl we cannot help but think how lost we would have been without these incredible women. We started working with them at the beginning of our second trimester and their knowledge, guidance, and support were absolutely invaluable. They helped us prepare for what was initially scary and daunting and showed us how to create the most beautiful, empowered, informed, memorable, and meaningful experience of our lives. Brittany was with us for our labor and there are truly not enough positive words in the universe to describe how invaluable she is! She was our champion and guiding light every step of the way. She has an incredible gift for making the delivery room calm, soothing, and sacred (seriously, nurses after shift change came in to see our room because they heard about how tranquil Brittany had made it). Her wisdom made our fears and the uncertainty fade away as she helped us navigate the impossible-to-predict decisions that needed to be made. Her calming presence and acupressure knowledge made all the difference in being able to cope with contractions and her encouraging words nourished every ounce of my being. We are forever grateful. My husband and I truly believe that being without a doula for pregnancy, labor, and delivery is like training for the Olympics without a coach. We are excited and looking forward to working with them when we decide to go for #2.

When I went into labor she was super responsive in getting back to us and was our rock. Thanks to her, we had the most wonderful labor and delivery experience and I was able to go unmedicated.
