Heidi and her team of midwives at Bloom literally changed my life. I didn't know what I needed as this baby was my first, and I was on the fence at first. However, I NEEDED the support I got -- from hour-long prenatal visits that truly encompass the whole family's values to the birth itself, these women were a godsend to our family. I unfortunately had a complicated birth, and ended up going to the hospital. Having the midwives there with us made the experience SO MUCH less scary. I can't even begin to explain how priceless their presence in the hospital was -- at 3am nonetheless! The lactation support was also key, and got us set up to have a very healthy breastfeeding routine. However, the most important thing that I didn't know I'd need was the postpartum support. You guys, having a baby is WILD. You think about the pregnancy and the birth, but nobody really prepares you for what comes next. I was able to call the midwives and get help after our baby was born, with everything from sleeping arrangements with a newborn to what to do when he got a cold at 3 weeks old. You just don't get this level of care anywhere else. Please consider this option for your family -- it's worth it! read more

Bloom Waterbirth and Wellness Center - Baby hand - Midwives Near Me - Ukiah, California

As a new mother in her 40s, I chose to embarked on my pregnancy journey with both Bloom midwives and an OB. However, upon reflection, I wholeheartedly advocate for Bloom's midwifery and midwifery in general in all pregnancies, if available for the mother. Additionally, I strongly recommend having a doula by one's side for added support. The out of this world remarkable team at Bloom has been a constant source of support, having even helped me through a previous miscarriage with unparalleled care and compassion. They truly feel like family, and I feel blessed to have had them by my side. Towards the end of my pregnancy, the fear instilled in me outside of Bloom, due to my age and ingrained western beliefs, became almost unbearable, leaving me confused and unsure of myself and my decisions for both my baby and myself. In stark contrast, the support, information, and guidance provided by the midwives at Bloom were extraordinary. Their comprehensive approach, addressing both physical and mental health aspects, along with knowledge and encouragement in nutrition, transformed my pregnancy into a positive and empowering experience. During labor, I had the privilege of giving birth in the water to a beautiful and healthy baby. I truly believe that Bloom's care helped improve my mental and physical health during pregnancy, which undoubtedly contributed to the overall health and well-being of my baby. Notably, the midwives at Bloom went above and beyond to ensure that my baby was properly latched during breastfeeding, a crucial aspect of postpartum care often overlooked by other medical providers. Their dedication to incorporating breastfeeding support into their care further solidified my trust and gratitude for their outstanding service. The midwives at Bloom demonstrated exceptional sensitivity and expertise throughout the process, ensuring that every aspect of my care was holistic and supportive. Their unwavering support continued through labor and postpartum, making them an invaluable resource throughout my pregnancy journey. I was consistently informed about all available options, empowering me to make informed decisions regarding my care. Moreover, Bloom's remarkable knowledge in all aspects of pregnancy, birth, and postnatal care was evident throughout my experience. From providing invaluable advice on newborn care to ensuring proper baby feeding techniques, their expertise was instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition into motherhood. Having experienced both approaches, I can confidently say that Bloom's midwifery care during pregnancy, labor, as well as postpartum, focusing on the mother's mental, emotional, and physical well-being, surpasses expectations. I dream of a world where midwifery is celebrated and encouraged, allowing pregnancies to become more fulfilling and less fear-driven experiences. If the opportunity arises to experience pregnancy and labor with Bloom Water Birth and Wellness center, seize it. It's truly transformative in the most profound way possible. I'm forever grateful for Blooms midwifery team. read more

I always knew I didnt want to give birth in the hospital. What that meant I wasn't sure until I found Bloom. For me the concept of a hospital is to treat ailments, and act fast during emergencies. It was very hard for me to associate a hospital and birth. Birth is about new beginnings, regrowth, and is much more spiritual. I have birthed both of my daughters with Bloom and from the moment of my first consultation I knew it was a perfect fit for me. The midwives at Bloom are not only highly educated and experienced but also grounded and compassionate. They have become my tribe and I wholeheartedly trust their guidance in the birthing processes. I could not imagine doing it any where else. Both my births were different but each time I felt empowered, safe, and capable. It is a beautiful thing when you surrender your mind and body and trust the process. read more

Bloom Waterbirth and Wellness Center - Midwives Near Me - Ukiah, California

I was cared for by this extraordinary group of women from 10 weeks gestation - 6 weeks postpartum for my second pregnancy. I can truly say that they are now part of my extended family. This experience was truly unlike any other and we would do again without hesitation If we were to have any more babies in the future! My first birth was in the hospital and while I still managed to have an unmedicated natural birth, the experience was entirely different from start to finish. At Bloom you are cared for by all of the wonderful midwives who make you feel like family. This is one of the only healthcare experiences where I absolutely did not mind seeing a different provider at each visit (there are only 3 midwives) but they are each equally amazing and each bring such valuable experience and perspective. They are always willing to make themselves available and It was so comforting to be able to call or text with any questions or concerns I had. Its truly a unique experience now a days to be able to have a completely relaxed and unrushed prenatal appointment in a peaceful environment, compared to the typical medical office experience where you are often treated impersonally and rushed out with only 10-15 minutes of your providers time (my past Experience at least). On more than one occasion Heidi, Kristi, and Adri would spend over an hour talking with me to address anything I wanted to talk about. They are incredible humans and it honestly felt more like hanging out with your best girlfriends where you can feel safe to open up about anything! And ofcourse they are all highly experienced and knowledgeable- never once did I have concern that if things were to go south during my birth that they wouldn't be able to recognize it immediately and act accordingly. Heidi and Adri along with Kassie their student midwife were the ones who attended the birth of my daughter and their presence was so calming throughout the whole process. They respected my wishes and went above and beyond to support me and my partner at all the right moments when we needed them, without interfering in OUR process. Their encouragement and many empowering discussions we had about trusting your instincts leading up to my birth gave me the confidence to follow my intuition, trust my body, and just relinquish control- which in the end was key. No matter how many times you birth there is always some level of anxiety and nerves leading up and I can truly say that the moment we set foot inside Bloom while I was in active labor I felt all the fear instantly Melt away and I was ready (and Excited!) to meet my baby. The familiarity of the space (after attending every appointment there in the same building) and the rapport you build with these women makes all the difference when you are about to give birth- the most raw and open you will ever be both physically and emotionally. I feel so grateful to have had such an amazing experience. I prayed and envisioned a peaceful waterbirth surrounded by people who care for me and that that is exactly what they helped bring to fruition. We prepared, birthed and recovered all under one roof in the most beautiful suite that feels more like someone's beautiful home in the woods or a lovely hotel suite, and these women even came to my home for several postpartum appointments to meet me in my most vulnerable moments. All I can say is-What a gift. If you are on the fence about where to birth I can assure you it was worth it in all respects and I wish I could do it again! read more

We now have two Bloom Babies and wouldn't have it any other way. Our second pregnancy had a couple scares but Heidi was right there through each of them. She was honest and didn't play down the severity of the situations, and somehow made me feel that I was going to be fine the whole time. Both Heidi and Adri were in regular communication with specialist as UCSF. They continue to be the perfect balance of western and traditional medicine. In the end the specialists at UCSF cleared me to continue my care with Bloom. I had an amazing birth. Adri coached me through, giving great advice and direction. I feel like everyone T Bloom has become extended family. If you want your birthing experience fit you, then Bloom is where you want to have your baby. They let you lead and allow to be in control. They create a calm, secure environment that is ideal for what is the most emotional process of a women's life. I can not imagine having my children anywhere else. read more

I want to give birth to all of my babies here. This is my first birth & I couldn't have asked for a better experience! This is not just a job to them, this is their passion and it shows in every aspect of their work. All of the ladies at Bloom made me feel safe, comfortable and cared for the entire way through. I wasn't just another number. They make you feel valued and important. They listen. They had answers to all of my questions, however big or small they were. I got to establish a relationship with all of them and knew I wasn't going to have strangers attending the birth. They made me feel like family. It was more than I could have asked for!!

BEST MIDWIVES EVER!!! I just had my 6th baby and I've worked with some wonderful women in the past but Kristie and Heidi have my heart forever! They attended My last two births and were so wonderful both in An easy birth and a hard potentially complicated birth I had. First off they know their stuff- very wise, having the best advice I've ever gotten on all my pregnancies. They keep learning, always seem to have fresh knowledge that midwives I've worked with in the past didn't have ( at least at the time). But also they are kind, loving- like I really feel LOVED by them- they carry this deep honor of birth and life with them and also honor intuition- both their own and mine as a mother which has come in handy more than once. They were the first ever to truly honor my wishes with my sons birth, allowing me to take the lead and listen to my own body without coaching or overriding what I wanted. Because of that I had the most peaceful, perfect, unusual birth ever that healed my previous hard birth experiences and renewed my wonder and self confidence as a woman and mother. If they had interrupted or denied some of my requests I may not have felt that way. They completely respect and work with hypnobirthing which not everyone does. In my birth 3 days ago which turned very hard and unexpected, they were calm, supportive, and again honoring of my wishes- really good at communicating, and showed their expertise in how they dealt with my difficult situation- pulling out all the tricks of you will and getting my Very stuck baby UNstuck !! Though it all they maintained calm soft voices, a feeling of peace, compassion and love. I never felt afraid even though I was struggling to birth. Finally baby was out and needed extra care which again they expertly handled and stopped at nothing to make sure we were well cared for, Heidi even staying an extra night with us to monitor baby every half hour while I slept, not leaving until she was Certain that baby was perfectly safe and at ease. I couldn't ask for more wonderful women to birth with and recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone who wants to be truly cared for and in the best hands for their birthing time. I see below there is a review that talks about being treated badly when declining any treatment interventions or test and as to that end I wonder if we are at the same birthing center? Maybe she is confused and talking about someone else? I declined every option, test and treatment in the book and never once did they have a negative word for me, or lecture, or anything near fear tactics, as many O.B.s have with me in the past. They honored my every wish and treated me with respect when I said no to anything without another word or even hint at it being a problem. And even when I wanted to discuss options further they were so very professional and neutral just giving me information and resources to research myself without advocating one way or another. I trust these women with my life! read more

Bloom Waterbirth and Wellness Center - Hanging out in the beautiful garden at Bloom with our new baby - Midwives Near Me - Ukiah, California

I am so so so happy with the care I received here. The midwives are all gems and such assets to this community. They all have amazing knowledge, provide excellent support and services as well as compassion and care beyond what I expected. I delivered my second child with them, and went through a genetic testing scare during my pregnancy. One of the midwives personally called me at 830pm and talked to me for an hour about my feelings and the process from there. I couldn't believe the grounded and care-FULL support she offered. My first born's birth was hard and not with bloom- I had a home birth midwife and had to transfer to the hospital. Because of that experience, I felt dedicated to having my second birth out of hospital but was not attached as long as everything was safe. This birthing center seemed like the right fit bc of the proximity to the hospital and the amount of experience the midwives have combined. I can say this second birth was hard too, and we almost transferred last minute but the baby came thanks to the midwives dedication to me and the baby. The midwives were calm, responsive, quick to act and explained everything to me and my husband in the process without disrupting the focus of my birthing body. How one can do that- I don't know ! But they are masters of the birthing art ! Postpartum services have been excellent as well. Long winded review to basically say it was an amazing experience and I am so happy I chose Bloom. They all around provide excellent midwifery care and I would choose them over and over if I wanted that many children ! Cheers to Bloom! read more

I cannot put into words how amazing the midwife's at Bloom are, they are more than Midwife's they are family. I told my husband if anything ever happened to Bloom we would only have one child. It was not only the best care I received prenatally and postpartum, it's the best health care I have received ever. Heidi, Adri, and Cassie create a positive no judgement environment that makes you feel right at home. I was at a party with 5 women that had given birth everyone of them said they only had one because it was a terrible experience. I was extremely sad as my experience was so uplifting, positive, and a very powerful. All I have to say is it's the only way to give birth, if you want a great experience for you and your baby. read more

SO WORTH IT!!! Even my husband, who was skeptical at first, had an awesome experience and said he would 100% do it again and pay the money even without insurance. I don't think stars even begin to show how amazing bloom is! My experience with the midwives and their facility was so far beyond wonderful. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I don't know where to begin raving about every little detail. From the first time you walk into bloom you feel a sense of security, love and peace. The facility is just the right amount of homey feeling but also tucked away they have all the tools they need to assist you. I felt like I was in a really nice suite/Inn. All of the midwives are so kind and treat you like a great friend. Which they truly do become your friends by the end of it. The prenatal care was amazing and I got to meet each of the midwives so I was familiar with them all. The hour long visits are wonderful because you really get to converse with them and talk about what you want and need. Kristi, Heidi, Molly and Adrianna all are such skilled midwives each bringing their own experience, knowledge and perspective which provides such well rounded care. Informed consent is top priority to them and they really make you feel you are in control of your care, as well as giving great guidance and information to help you make the best decisions for you and your family. My birth was absolutely amazing! I can't even describe it in words how truly fulfilling and empowering my experience was. I was able to labor how I wanted with the absolute best guidance and support by my side. 15 hours of long labor and Molly and Heidi never let me get discouraged. I had no sleep the night before and threw up anything I tried to eat. They helped keep me nourished through it all and gave me amazing advice to get my baby here safely. My bag of water didn't want to break but instead of them coming in and saying they needed to break my water to get things going (which I feel like would've happened at a hospital most likely) they offered me information about my situation.  We all communicated together and decided that we wanted to get it to break on its own. My body could do it! The entire time I trusted my body and my team! If you want a natural/unmediated birth experience this is the place for you. The after birth experience was bliss. After she was born she came right into my arms and she was mine!! Molly and Heidi did everything they needed with her right on my chest. Heidi wrapped her up and made sure her breathing was good and Molly helped me deliver the after birth. My husband got to cut the cord and we got to climb into bed together and snuggle our new little one. We were able to rest and soak things in for a good amount of time while the midwives cleaned up around us. More than a golden hour. Once we all had a little rest Molly checked everything on the baby and helped me get to the bathroom and shower off. Our baby was born at 9:55pm and by the time everything was all checked out it was late so they let us sleep there in the amazing bed and we got to finish everything in the morning. The postnatal visits were so helpful and personal as well! The home visits are so great for when you're healing and still getting used to new baby life. Postpartum support as well as breastfeeding advice and resources were all provided. Checking up on the baby and her growth also was so nice I didn't have to get in with the pediatrician until after 6 weeks. One less thing to deal with when you're sleep deprived and trying to find a good routine. I truly didn't want my time and care with Bloom team to be over. I am so looking forward to having future babies with them. I wouldn't do it any other way unless it was medically necessary. The whole experience was everything I hoped for and so much more! The passion and love these ladies have for their job, women and babies is so incredible. They have ignited a fire inside of me that will hopefully lead me to the birth world as well. Thank you so much Bloom for bringing this amazing care to our small community. Keep doing what you're doing! I love you Molly, Heidi, Kristi and Adrianna. Until next time read more

This place is a true gem in Ukiah! My husband and I welcomed our beautiful baby boy at Bloom with the most attentive and loving midwives we could have dreamed of! We were both hesitant to have our baby at a birthing center, but I am SO glad we did. It was truly a beautiful experience. I loved the intimacy and calmness that surrounded me as I gave birth. We are forever in debt to these ladies. They become an extension of your family. read more

We had a great experience for the birth of our daughter. Felt very cared for by our midwives. In fact, Heidi began my prenatal care without full payment, as I was in process to be medically cleared as a candidate for water birth and she didn't want to take our money until we were sure I could birth at the birthing center. Not a lot of people would do that. This is more than a business, they treat you like family. Thank you Heidi, Adri and Kristi ! We have a very happy and healthy Bloom Baby ! read more

I had my birth with Bloom and was so lucky to have Heidi and Kristi looking after me and my partner. I didn't want any unnecessary medical intervention or drugs, hence a hospital birth was no option for me. My wish was to have support and guidance but a hands off approach so that birthing our baby could unfold in its most natural way. Kristi and Heidi fully respected my wishes and I had the most beautiful experience I could have dreamed of. Within 24 h after my water broke, our beautiful boy was born in the water and the arms of his daddy. Even though I wanted no medical intervention, it felt good to know that it was available if needed. I needed some stitching after, which Heidi was able to do and I am very grateful for that. I wouldn't have had the option if I would have done a free birth, which I considered as an option to avoid the hospital. I fully recommend Bloom to everyone who is planning to have a natural birth and is looking for a peaceful environment. I am so glad that Bloom exists and that there are birth workers out there who see birth as a natural process and respect women as the true birth giver. Thank you so much Heidi, Kristi and Adrianna. Janett, Ozzy & Max read more

With my second home birth, Kristi & Heidi where by my side every step of the way. They are wonderful to work with. Knowing that I could trust them with my body and newborn baby completely, allowed for a safe and stress free birthing experience. They honored my desires, informed me of aspects of the birth I wasn't aware of and became my birthing team. I am so excited that they opened up a Birth Center! Not only does our town need one, they are fully qualified and equipped to be a wonderful lead in Northern CA home birthing. read more

My husband and I had heard great things about Bloom for years from friends so when we got pregnant we went to see for ourselves. We loved their prenatal care right from the start and always looked forward to our appointments. Adri, Heidi, Kristi, and Molly were all so wonderful - incredibly knowledgeable, warm, kind, attentive, responsive if we had questions at any hour, candid, informative... everything we could have wanted and then some. Their exceptional care continued to shine during our birth and postpartum experiences - we were just blown away by their level of expertise in so many areas (physical and emotional). We knew we were in amazing hands and truly can't imagine not having had these ladies by our side. We feel so lucky to have gone through Bloom and could not recommend them highly enough!!! read more

Kristi and Heidi are professional, genuine and incredibly knowledgeable. Anyone can connect with them as they are so sweet and truly committed to taking care of their mommas, babies and families. Both have over 20 years of experience!!! These women are angels on earth. There is no one better to help you bring your baby earth side. Adrianna and Molly are the other amazing women at Bloom. There is truly no one like this group of midwives in the field. If you are looking for educated, loving, caring, supportive, all-inclusive midwifery care Bloom is definitely for you! I have never seen anyone committed the way these women are to quality midwifery care. All love!! read more

Prenatal, birthing, postpartum ... I wouldn't want to do any of these things ever again without these amazing women. My first was born in a hospital and left me feeling a deep void and mourning for the care, support and birth I longed for. I knew when I found out I was pregnant with number two that something had to be different. I sought out midwives.. with a homebirth background .. and found my way to Bloom. From the moment I stepped inside and met Heidi and Kristi, I knew this was gonna be my team. These women with their amazing student midwives gave me the opportunity to have my dream birth. From prenatal care to postpartum.. and all in between.. I want what Bloom offers for ALL women. So, when I found myself expecting number 3 in the spring of 2019, I had no doubt about who I wanted to be present for all the care, support and birth of my baby. This time I was blessed to have a homebirth and every time I sit in my tub with my baby I get to relive the magic of that beautiful time. At Bloom you will find a safe haven where you can stop by any time (pre-COVID .. and I'm sure again once the time comes) to change a diaper, nurse, grab some water, use the bathroom, to say hi and reconnect, or just take a break and deep breath. My family and I now have a team of strong, supportive, loving women who are always a phone call or text away. I have lifelong friends in these women. Going to Bloom in the fall of 2015 was one of the best choices I've made. I Bloom to ev read more

When we figured out I was pregnant with my first baby we knew wanted to go to bloom for a natural birth. From the moment I contacted them over the phone all we ever received was the most welcoming, considerate, and loving care. They took care of me and my family so well. My boyfriend in the beginning didn't really know to much about water births and was skeptical, but if weren't for the midwives he wouldn't have liked the Water-birth so much. The day I gave birth to my son it was such a great moment in our life. I really don't think we could ever explain to the midwives how grateful our little family is and how grateful I am. Walking around the backyard while experiencing contractions and looking at there trees I could see how healthy everything was and all the fruit trees were fruiting so well I could just feel the nurturing that happens there. I feel so blessed to have had my care at bloom I wouldn't choose to have our baby anywhere else and when the the time comes around to have another little one I'll be going to bloom. We definitely recommend this birthing center and will suggest it to any friend who's expecting! Thank you again Kristi, Katelin, Heidi, and Adri you guys did so much more than we could ask. read more

The amount of love and care the women of Bloom have given me throughout my pregnancy and birth of my second child is something I had always hoped for in a birthing experience. They were not only the best caretakers, knowledgeable and compassionate, but also great friends, understanding and kind. They listened to me, never questioning my well thought out decisions or plans for my birth and aftercare of my baby. Heidi, Kristi, Gloria and Alex are quite the team, they always found a way to help me feel better before leaving an appointment by answering any questions and laying to rest and fears or anxiety I was carrying. The birthing of my daughter at their beautiful center was one I had only dreamed of before. I was loved, encouraged and supported during my entire journey. I can not thank them enough for their role in bringing my beautiful Thea Bloom into this world! There is nowhere on earth I would rather go for prenatal and postpartum care. read more

Had a horrible experience with bloom highly NOT recommend, There nothing natural about giving birth except its fancy, if you decline any test the midwife will tell you dead baby stories to get you on board with the test, they want the birth to be there way not your way but they will keep saying "it's your birth you get to decide what you want", they can Kick you out of there care anytime if they think you are not a good fit or if you decline to have one of the midive to be at your birth that you don't like, and there will be no REFUNDS, make sure you read the contract carefully, I will not recommend this birth center to anyone, they don't care about your opinion how you want your birth to be, it will be hidden which midwife will attend your birth so be prepared for the surprise there might be someone at your birth that you never met. There website description is just for marketing purposes, and there C section rate is way higher. Also they weren't cultural competent. read more

The midwives here are so professional and caring. They are also extremely intelligent and educated in their field. They all gave me their full attention day and night whenever I needed it and sometimes when I didn't even know I did and I consider them family now and forever more. Heidi Marshall, Kristi Cunningham, and Jami Johnson are the best midwives I could have ever asked for and if they are reading this I want them to know I will always love them more then words can say and would definitely have any future children in their beautiful building. It was very home like and comfortable and for us like staying at a 5 star suite with all the amenities. I could go on and on but my perfect, happy, and healthy baby needs me to stop writing and give her my love, or boob,..lol probably boob! read more

When I heard about the opening of Bloom, my husband and I found out we were pregnant with our second child. We did a home birth with our first. It was amazing, but after I gave birth I had to take the ambulance to the hospital due to a hemorrhage. Luckily we were only ten minutes away. When we became pregnant with our second we were now an hour away from the hospital. I really wanted to have a home birth, but felt we were too far away in case there were any complications. Thank goodness for Kristi and Heidi. Bloom is the perfect marriage of having the home birth experience, but in a well equipped facility, also close to the hospital. The space these women have created made me feel like I was at a luxury spa. Everything from the decor, the energy, and the way these women made me feel was truly a beautiful experience in itself. The birth was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. These women know what they are doing. I felt so safe with them. I did have a little bit of bleeding and they were on top of it. I put my family in their hands and they exceeded my expectations. Not only do Kristi, Heidi, Jami, and the rest of the staff kick ass, but being in a place where like minded women are able to gather and meet make Bloom extra special. To be able to pull strength from the energy of the women who birthed there before me and then to pay it forward by leaving my own energy, fills Bloom with magic. I am forever grateful. Love you ladies!!! read more

I met Kristi 2 years ago, I had already had one home birth in Hawaii and wasn't planning my second yet. But, the second I met her I loved her and told her she was my next midwife when the time comes! She might just have one of the most comforting and personable personalities I have ever met. At every pre natal she always made me feel so beautiful and cared about. The same goes for Heidi, they are both so dedicated and knowledgable. When something came up during pregnancy or after that I needed help with or a question answered, they were always just a quick text or call away. Kristi and Heidi have this way of connecting to the babies in the womb that is so beautiful. My birthing team consisted of Kristi, Heidi and intern at the time Jamie(loved my third midwife/doula). They are a dream team if you ask me. Purely magical! Mahalo Bloom! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Kristi and Heidi as a student midwife, and was also fortunate to have them as midwives for the birth of our son. Having experienced their care as a coworker and a client, I was impressed with their excellent prenatal, birth and postpartum care. They are dedicated to helping families have the birth of their dreams, while ensuring the safest outcome for mom and baby. Kristi and Heidi's extensive clinical experience, caring emotional support, and knowledge of herbal and alternative medicines makes them dynamic, top-notch midwives. I highly recommend their services. Nina Larsen, RN read more

Kristi provided my prenatal care and delivered my son at my home in 2013. I could not have asked for a better experience from the very beginning to the very end. Kristi is someone who will treat you like a best friend while at the same time providing you with top-notch care. Both she and Heidi are amazing at what they do, and if you are looking for a midwife you could not ask to be in better hands than theirs! I have watched them build Bloom from the ground up, and they have created the most beautiful, comfortable birthing spaces imaginable, that feel all at once like a spa, home, and professional and safe birthing atmosphere. If you are lucky enough to be located in their area, in my opinion there is really no other option if you are looking for a safe and beautiful out-of-hospital or home birth! HIGHLY recommended!!! read more

I had the best birth experience all thanks to Heidi, Kristi, Alex & Gloria. They gave me so much support throughout my pregnancy, and when I needed it most at 42 weeks! These ladies are so skilled at what they do. I consider them part of my family. I really could not have done it without them. They knew exactly what to do to safely help my baby and I through birth. The birthing suite is so calming & serene. They took such good care of me & my partner from the first visit through the postpartum care. These ladies are angels. I'm so grateful for each of them. read more

Words just don't suffice. I have never felt so safe, nurtured, heard, trusted and well advocated for in my life. Each member of this team brings so much to the table. Not only were my pre and post natal care a pleasure but the birth itself was a gift. Even with a long pre labor, a giant, giant baby and post natal complications - I have the best associations with it. Heidi and Kristi are the most competent, calm, brilliant ninja midwives ever. They navigated complications with calm grace - resolving them one after the next (which was not for the faint of heart!!).
