Testimonials:
“My first two births were traumatic but coming to Dawn, Emily, and Ann was the best decision I could have made for my third baby. I had such a wonderful pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum care. The team is thoughtful, caring, kind, and patient. They are also a judgment free zone, I felt very safe in their care as well as my little one. If we were to ever have another I would go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend, for their compassion, knowledge, and kindness” - MS
“Emily and Ann were my midwives and they soooo took care of my needs. I had a traumatizing first birth elsewhere and didn't really know what to expect the 2nd time. They both were there every single step of the way through my anxieties, and I could tell they actually genuinely cared about me and the baby.I did not feel like I would be abandoned which is a complaint I have heard often with friends who have gone through labor. Emily, Ann, and Dawn are very passionate about what they do and trust me it shows. Plus they are so easy to talk to, I would definitely recommend them to any friend or relative. I will miss chatting with them and being cared by them. They are truly heaven sent!” - RO
“Can’t recommend enough! I had my first with them and am pregnant again with my second and so excited to be back. Ann and Emily are so attentive at every appointment, and share such good advice. They are so calming and knowledgeable and passionate and I feel so taken care of by them. I wish I wanted more than 2 kiddos so I can just keep going back. <3” -BR
