My husband and I couldn't have chosen a better care team for our family. Andrea and Maggie supported us through our entire first pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We left each prenatal visit excited and without worry. They are both so knowledgeable and have great energy. My birth experience was so special. They came to my house early morning and by early afternoon my son was in my arms. Maggie coached me through contractions on the phone allowing me to relax until they arrived. Once they arrived at my home, they set up quietly and quickly making sure not to disturb me. Throughout my labor, they massaged my back with essential oils and made sure I stayed hydrated and energized with water, juice, and snacks. They encouraged me as I pushed and helped move me into different positions when things got tough for me. When my boy was born, they handed him directly to me for skin-to-skin. Within the first two weeks after the birth of my son, Maggie and Andrea helped educate us on tongue ties(while still recommending we do our additional research). They referred us to a specialist who successfully cut our son's ties(tongue and lip). We saw Andrea and Maggie shortly after and they were able to demonstrate how to properly stretch the wounds. At about 5 weeks postpartum, I went to the emergency room for pain and ended up getting surgery to remove my gallbladder. While I was in the hospital my son ran out of breast milk. My husband reached out to our midwives and they were able to help us get donor milk. Once I was released, I noticed a dip in my milk supply and they saw us for two additional visits to help me increase my supply and then to confirm our baby was transferring enough milk. Andrea and Maggie are wonderful midwives with so much knowledge. They truly care about the families in their care, not just the moms and babies but the dads too. I am so lucky I found them and would never do a birth with anyone else. If you or someone you know needs quality people on their care team, Andrea and Maggie are the best. read more

If you are looking for relatable, zero judgement, super informed and extremely supportive and helpful midwives, Maggie and Andrea are it! We were in their care for our first pregnancy and they made us feel so much care and love throughout. I loved having a personal connection with them. We really enjoyed every appointment and I'm really sad we have "graduated" out of care and moving on to our pediatrician/family doctor. A few things that stood out and I particularly appreciated about their practice: 1. Their office is small and cozy and a few minutes from our home. 2. Labs were ran through an in network provider, so I didn't have to pay out of pocket. Even though they are not in-network with anyone. Also results always came back super fast. 3. They have referrals for just about everything related to pregnancy and postpartum and some in-network providers. 4. Most appts are an hour long and they are extremely responsive/communication is always top tear. 5. They are also lactation specialist, so no need to hire someone else if you need help or have questions once baby is born. 6. They are a great balance of holistic/western medicine and have a great relationship with Ventura County Medical if you need to go to the hospital for any reason at any time during your pregnancy, delivery or postpartum. 7. They are super down to earth, funny and relatable! We will def. be reaching out again for future pregnancies! Love them! read more

Where to begin - these two women came beside me for my redeeming home birth and to say they were a Godsend is an understatement. After four different births with varying degrees of trauma, uncertainty seemed to pop up every few weeks for me with baby #5, pregnancy #9. Maggie and Andrea put any and all concerns to rest with research backed info and compassion. They prayed with me, held me as I cried, and encouraged me every step of the way. No matter where I was at emotionally, physically or spiritually, they met me there and supported me with such love and care. This is their ministry and it's felt on the receiving end. I love these women after what they helped me through and can't thank them enough. Believe me when I say working with them is an absolute birth dream come true. read more

We are so happy to have had the care of Andrea and Maggie. What a fantastic team! This was our first baby, and our experience was excellent. Their love and attention to detail was incredible. Each of our sessions with them were filled with compassion and the reassurance that we were on the right track. They welcomed all questions and always answered in a kind and caring way. They provided us with lots of support and a holistic approach to any questions we might have. They empowered us to make the decisions that were best for us and our family. They held our hands and helped us through a challenging birthing process. Welcome to this world, baby Felipe. Despite no power, heavy rain, and four days of labor, they stood by us as providers and friends. We have had follow-ups at an HMO and follow-ups with these lovely midwives. The care we receive is like night and day. Midwives are the way to go 100%. Andrea and Maggie continue to help us with breastfeeding, demonstrating much love and patience. They are exceptional providers, and I highly recommend them. read more

After having my 2nd baby I thought breastfeeding was going to be a breeze. I nursed my 1st for 2 years no problem. Little did I know my 2nd had a lip and tongue tie that the hospital did not catch. In fact I was reassured by the nurse and lactation specialist at the hospital that my son did not have any ties. I came home and was in so much pain breastfeeding, bleeding and chapped nipples. I was so confused trying to remember if I went through this with my 1st. This is when Maggie came to the rescue! Not only did she catch his lip and tongue tie immediately but suggested I get a second and 3rd opinion and sure enough the pediatric dentist and my chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy and babies all confirmed the lip and tongue tie. This was why I was bleeding while nursing and in so much pain. If it wasn't for Maggie I don't think I would have ever known. We were able to get his lip and tongue tie released within the 1st 2 weeks of birth. My son recovered very fast and Maggie even came between dentist and dr appts to make sure he was healing properly and there was no reattachment with the ties. She went over the exercises again with me and my husband. Turns out that even being an experienced nursing mama it's always good to get help when you have a newborn. I would have never known about my son's lip and tongue tie. We are now 4 months into our breastfeeding journey. 0 pain and my son is a healthy almost 17 lb baby Maggie has been so amazing. Very knowledgeable and answers all my questions even 4 months later. I wish I had this kind of support when I had my 1st but I'm so thankful I found Maggie with my 2nd and any future babies we have. read more

If you're looking for the best midwives out there, Andrea and Maggie are it! These two provide truly wholistic care from the 1st day you meet them! They are incredibly knowledgeable, caring, supportive, and funny too! By the end of our journey together, they really felt like family! My husband and I originally started visiting midwives in the hopes of doing another birth center birth, like we did with our first kiddo. Homebirth was something I always wanted and thought about doing, but I had some fear, and my husband was even more fearful and unsure. Andrea and Maggie completely got us on board the first day we met them. They thoroughly explained everything to my husband and I and went over what would be done in different emergency scenarios. By the end of our initial visit, which was filled with laughter, we felt like Andrea and Maggie were friends we had known for a long time. We both knew immediately that we wanted them to be our midwives! Prenatal visits were something I looked forward to! I loved my hour with them, and so did my 2 year old, who was able to go to all of my appointments. They even have a play area that she adored. They also got her involved with using the doppler to listen to her baby sisters heartbeat and gave her some snacks here and there. Needless to say, my 2 year old was a huge fan as well. I did dual care and still saw an OB, and let me tell you, the care is night and day! 15 minutes with an OB just doesn't even come close to your hour with Andrea and Maggie. You feel loved, you feel supported, you feel heard. You leave every visit feeling good and feeling more prepared for your labor and delivery. My homebirth was amazing! I'm so happy I was able to do it, and I cried tears of joy when I held my baby for the first time. I felt joy that she was here, but also all I could think, was "WOW! I DID IT!" I was so proud of myself. I birthed my baby at home, in my own space, surrounded by the people I loved the most! And I have Andrea and Maggie to thank for that! My 2 year old was able to climb into the water (I did a water birth), right after her sister came earthside and met her new sibling. She was so happy and it made my heart so full! It was exactly as I had imagined it. The amazing care continues postpartum and beyond. They made sure to stress how important it was for me to rest and recover (even though I didn't quite listen, but that's another story lol) and they support you with all things postpartum and with your breastfeeding journey. Just know they are there to answer your calls and help with any concerns or questions, and always have your best interest in mind. They were also very thorough with my assessing my baby girl and even found she had a tounge tie. They taught me how to do stretches with her to help and gave us the option of having it released if that's what we wanted. I could go on and on about Andrea and Maggie, but you just have to meet them yourselves! Trust me, you won't regret it! They are truly incredible midwives! read more

There are no words great enough to describe these two women. They are honest, reliable, knowledgeable, current, stable, loving and soooo real about all things pregnancy, birth, postpartum, parenthood, familym and just all the things. Something so special about them is that they compliment one another so well. You literally get TWO licensed midwives and incredible humans with you on this journey. They are such a well rounded practice with a network of resources readily available to help their mamas/parents. When I think about my homebirth, I literally praise the Lord that they were there. They were calm, steady, and so professional through each step of my birth. My son was having some issues with rapid breathing upon birth, but Andrea and Maggie caught it immediately, they calmly discussed it right in front of me, and even though I felt that they were paying close attention to him and monitoring, they did it in such a peaceful manner, that it never added stress or concern. The confidence I have in these women, their experience and knowledge has no limits. They did their job and beyond to keep my boy and me safe and healthy. They were prepared with everything they could possibly need to help him stabilize his breathing. So, if you are considering these two, just make the call, meet them and I'm sure you'll never look back! read more

Andrea has been my midwife for two pregnancies. The first was during 2020 when my health insurance company essentially forgot about me in the c*v!d shuffle. Andrea was so attentive, scheduling zoom calls, answering my texts, my husband even had her contact in case he had a question or concern. Her care is the best of "both worlds" meaning she will always gave me multiple ways to combat any symptoms. Her first line of defense is to suggest natural remedies and rest but she knew when to suggest safe over the counter meds so I was able to make informed decisions for myself. Under Andrea's care I never lacked, I always felt taken care of and respected and like no question was too small. I would 10/10 suggest getting under the care of Andrea for your future pregnancies. She will be the support you need in such a precious time! read more

I met with Maggie for lactation support after receiving mediocre support with lactation at the hospital where I delivered my baby. Her holistic approach to care helped me feel understood, supported, and respected - all of which I did not feel as a first time mom struggling with breastfeeding. With Maggie's support I was able to pivot to exclusive pumping and have successfully fed my baby breast milk for 5 months at the time of this review. Additionally, Maggie hosted a mom's group at her office where I was able to connect with other moms in similar stages of parenthood. I cannot recommend Wholistic Birth and Wellness enough! read more

walked into the birth center in November last year, still angry and in denial that I was pregnant, but was greeted by Andrea and Maggie. I wasn't one of those women that had always dreamed of an unmedicated birth. But after my conversation with Andrea and Maggie, a natural, unmedicated, out of hospital birth was all I wanted because they gave me the encouragement and empowerment to believe in myself. So there we were beginning the journey to a birth where I was encouraged to trust Gods perfect plan and design of my body to carry and birth a baby. Andrea spent hours massaging my back to help ease the intensity. She intuitively helped us make the decision to have a home birth even though that was never the plan. She gave me confidence to believe in myself and my decision. She let me know that I was loved and supported no matter what, but mostly reminded me that I could do it. She loved me and encouraged me to trust Jesus and press into His truths when fear started to take over. Maggie didn't get to be at Jacks birth, but it was a joy watching her learn and pursue becoming a midwife. Her knowledge and ability to always answer my questions made me feel safe and heard. She was always so warm and inviting and her personality was everything I needed in so many moments throughout pregnancy. She taught me so much about my body. It was the hardest, yet most beautiful thing I have ever done and I never could've done it without them. I will forever have a special love for them. Thank you Jesus for my midwives. read more

Maggie and Andrea helped deliver our beautiful baby girl this past Fall. To say they are an all-star team is an understatement. They are the most competent and able team of midwives I have come across (we interviewed many). We appreciated a primary holistic approach while also not shying away from Western medicine if asked, or if there was a need to use. Both moms and dads are at top of mind the moment you walk through the door, and their kindness and professionalism radiates through their office; you are family from the moment you meet. They are warm, compassionate, and reassuring to say the least. They always checked in on us, even after our baby was born, and were so beyond helpful in answering our questions and helping us to navigate the world as new parents. They help you to make informed decisions and hold your hand throughout pregnancy and postpartum if you need. As for lactation, they changed the game for us. They know their stuff! Our baby was having a tough time latching, but after a couple sessions and few tips, she was latched and sucking milk like a vacuum. We cannot say enough about these amazing women and mothers! Do yourself a favor. Stop your search for a midwife, you've found them here. read more

Our family hired Andrea and Maggie for the birth of our second baby. They were highly recommended by another great midwife and we loved that it was a practice with two midwives, meaning there was always a backup! This was a very different pregnancy for us. But through it all Andrea and Maggie were reassuring and so knowledgeable. They didn't let us doubt ourselves and were very through in explaining what to expect. I can tell anyone that they are both very smart and will give you the best care before, during and after your birth. As a birth doula, I appreciated how they handled my birth. It was not easy for me. But they are midwives with a big doula touch, offering counter pressure, words of reassurance and just a warm presence in the room! When things started to take a different route, they were calm and quick to handle everything. And what could have been a traumatic birth turned into a beautiful one that just left me with the feeling of strength and power, thanks to them (and my wonderful husband, but nobody needs a review on him lol). Andrea and Maggie, thank you for all you have done for us. We are so glad that we chose you and will definitely recommend you to anyone having a baby! read more

I can't really put into words just how highly I recommend these incredible midwives!! The care you receive through them is above and beyond in every way. They dedicate an entire hour to your appointments and they don't only care for your pregnancy physically, but mentally and emotionally too. Each and every appointment you feel cared for and you don't feel rushed over. Any concern or worry that you have is talked through and you're left going into your childbirth experience feeling completely supported and prepared. Once you're in labor you get the most gentle and reassuring care, it is truly a stark difference from an in-hospital experience. They don't take your baby away from you to weigh and run tests, you get to have your skin to skin time without feeling rushed or poked or prodded. They ASK to take your baby to weigh and do the newborn exam. Then you're in postpartum! You get care up to 6 weeks not only for you but for baby as well. They ensure your breastfeeding journey is going well and are SO hands on in case of any tongue or lip ties. You are cared for so kindly throughout your entire pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum experience and that is something that you simply don't get anywhere else. read more

Maggie and Andrea are absolutely brilliant and I feel so taken care of and listened to in all of our appointments. With my OB's and hospital lactation consultants I had to fight to have my concerns heard and taken seriously, but these two amazing ladies went out of their way to reassure me time and time again. I never felt rushed, and always felt like everything I wanted to address was addressed, and MORE! They completely changed the game for me. My experience with baby #2 was night and day different than my firstborn and we 100% credit that to them. And when I was really struggling and couldn't make it to them, they made a house call and came to me and completely saved the day. Couldn't recommend them more, you absolutely won't regret it. Total Godsends. read more

Andrea and Maggie were the best support for my family and I. They instilled so much confidence in me and I learned so much during my prenatal visits, by the time it came to labor it felt like a breeze. They helped me realize my ability to birth my baby well. A very redemptive process after a traumatic first birth experience. Cannot recommend this duo enough. read more

Andrea and Maggie were the most helpful and are on top of their game. They are extremely knowledgeable and have very good referrals. I felt so welcomed and comfortable in their office! You cannot go wrong with their care. read more

Andrea and Maggie are the best! I interviewed and researched so many other local midwives, and when I came to meet Andrea and Maggie, I immediately knew I found my midwives. Between their evidence based approach, genuine personalities, and talent as midwives, I feel so lucky to have found them. They attended my home birth about a month ago, and I fully trusted that they would do the best for me and my baby. They also helped me with lactation and making sure I was in a good mental state postpartum. I couldn't have wished for a better team. read more

if i could leave a million stars, this is where i would. i don't even know where to begin, i have so many things to say, i could write a book about this POWERHOUSE duo. my husband and i are forever grateful for the unconditional love and support both andrea & maggie have shown us through out our entire journey during pregnancy, birth and postpartum. the care they provide is NIGHT & DAY in comparison to our prior OBGYN, even after our first meeting with andrea & maggie, we instantly felt so much confidence & comfort in their hands. when i say they were there through THICK and THIN, they are a prime example of going above and beyond. not only are they very experienced but extremely knowledgeable. we can tell that they are also exceptional mothers because they're both so nurturing and caring for their clients. this is our first baby so we honestly didn't know what to expect and even though we did so much of our own research we still felt totally lost until we met andrea & maggie. they have guided us through every single step of the way, not to mention their bedside manner is exceptional. they never touch or examine without asking for permission first. they are also very well equipped and prepared for any situation that may arise. my birth experience was very traumatic but i truly wouldn't have been able to get through it without these women... whether it was massaging my aching body, making sure i was hydrated, holding my hand... they supported me mentally, emotionally and physically through out my entire labor. as for postpartum & my breastfeeding journey... it has been very challenging to say the least but the care and lactation support that they have given us, has been more helpful than we could ever imagine... in fact, i probably would've given up after the first week if it weren't for their love and dedication. they have so much patience and not only helped us through every single obstacle but celebrated every single milestone together with us. we would do it a million times over with our midwives and we are SO HAPPY to have them in our lives, our gratitude for these women is beyond words. thank you for everything you both have done for our little family! read more

Andrea was an incredible midwife! We loved everything from our pre natal visits to our post partum care. She is a wealth of knowledge and truly invested in the process and families she is working with. Would highly recommend this business to anyone needing quality care! read more

Where do I even begin. Maggie and Andrea delivered my first born in 2021 out of a birth center in Santa Clarita. We live in the antelope valley. Come baby number 2, they had then moved their practice to Simi valley but our relationship continued. all of our appointments were so informative and comfortable. Our first born always included on checking on his sister, toys for him to play with while we had our appointment, and of course snacks! Andrea and Maggie have created the most welcoming comfortable space for every one of your visits. Prenatal, breastfeeding support, you name it! They answer on a dime! When my round of mastitis came around and I was calling frantically, they immediately got back to me, gave me advice and products to use, and within 24hrs I was better! And no antibiotics needed. They are so educated and informed, 4never once did I question their judgement for my pregnancy nor my delivery. Our baby girl is now 1, and our son 2.5. We had the most beautiful, smooth, peaceful deliveries and I truly believe Andrea and Maggie played a huge role in that. They are always a call away and the sweetest humans ever. You will never regret them as your provider. read more
