I cannot fully express our gratitude for Adriana Bäbler's wisdom, support, care, compassion, and…read moreguidance as our doula, but I'll try. I've attended her pre-natal yoga class twice a week for 7 months of my pregnancy, and only missed 3 classes. She is an amazing yoga instructor for pregnant women. I also had two individual sessions with her close to my due date which made big differences in my body. The morning after our session, my belly dropped significantly, which was the goal. As far as labor, she was up with us for almost 50 hours, helping us to keep positive through the contractions, trekking the halls of the hospital with me, and sacrificing her own sleep for even a few minutes of mine and my husband's. This, along with her bi-weekly prenatal yoga class throughout my pregnancy, has made a world of difference in my connection to our birthing journey. We will always have a special place in our hearts for this amazing friend and doula. Overall, I highly recommend her services, and will continue to see her for post-natal yoga.

Adriana has a wealth of information on a wide range of areas concerning prenatal, postpartum, fertility, etc. I had a terrible pain in my SI joint and thought "this is just a side effect of pregnancy" but after seeing Adriana just a couple of times for osteopathic therapy, my SI joint is comfortable again and I am walking 2 to 3 miles daily, as well as practicing yoga and functioning in daily life at full term. She was also able to ward off carpal tunnel which was starting to develop in my wrists by targeting the area immediately, I am amazed at what she is able to do! Never did I think at 39 weeks pregnant I would answer "I feel great!" and truly mean it, when someone asks. Adriana is incredible in so many areas and I could not recommend her enough.

Our appointment was extremely calm and informative, the staff there specialize in premies&infants. After our initial appointment we also met with baby chiropractor, baby physical therapist & lactation consultant. The entire staff is extremely nice and welcoming. You can tell they have a passion for babies! They also have weekly mommy & me classes such as baby yoga, feeding boot camp, mom hour, and many more. They offer a monthly package to attend limited amount of classes. A great place for expecting and new mamas to gather and learn together everything baby!

As a FTM who has gone down the internet rabbit hole, trying to be as informed as possible, I…read morethought I knew a lot. But of course when it comes to babies and pregnancy, the amount of information is overwhelming and it's hard to find reliable sources. Balanced Baby is a great resource for new and even experienced mamas who need any guidance, which sometimes your OB/Midwife/Pediatrician can't provide. The Baby On Board class taught me (and my husband) TONS of useful information- not just for labor and birth but for everything you need to know after having a baby! The class covered lactation, breastfeeding, bottle feeding, labor techniques, birth plan ideas, registry recommendations, tummy time ideas, and more. As a bonus, they served a delicious breakfast and gave each of us a gift bag to take home! This is hands down the best class to take as a parent-to-be. They also offer other classes for after baby is born! These ladies are experts in their specialties and have tons of recommendations, based on their own personal and professional experiences. Anything they aren't certified in, they know someone who is and can easily connect you to someone who can help. Again, I can't recommend this place enough for all parents!

From our first phone call to our 6 week postpartum check-up the entire team was caring and attentive and amazingly gracious given the obvious drama that comes with pregnancy. They are truly called to a beautiful service and their bedside manner and humanity with their mamas in unmatched; certainly not something that I believe one could find in a stuffy hospital setting. Because of the women at Sacred Birth we were able to welcome our beautiful baby boy safely and peacefully into the world in the comfort of our own home. I am high strung and a bit of a stress bucket and was especially through my pregnancy but the women with Sacred Birth went out of their way to bring me back down to earth when I needed, supported me every step of the way and truly saw me as another human being and mama to be and not just a patient on a flip chart. They didn't rush our labor at all and took great care to check on our baby boy after every push. We got a beautiful tour of the placenta and plenty of time for the rest of the blood from it to finish loading our baby boy with all of the iron and oxygen that he needed. No quick clamping and cutting with these ladies! I also love how involved my husband was able to be! He was at nearly every appointment and they included him in all of our discussions and answered all of the questions that he posed to them. They suggested reading material which we both benefited from tremendously and they really empowered us to be a birthing team in our own unique and intuitive way which we are now able to carry through into our parenting. I truly miss the entire team and honestly wish I was still able to see them every couple of weeks! I truly cannot say enough about this incredible team and if we end up having another little member of the family they will be the first call we make.

She made my husband and I incredibly comfortable with the idea of having a homebirth for our first child. What I love most about her were that our appointments were never rushed, she was knowledgeable in answering all of our questions and she cared not only for my baby but for me as well. Not just my physical health but my mental and emotional well-being. She listened attentively at my fears and concerns, was a great shoulder to cry on and provided resources to help. There is no doubt in my mind because of her that I was able to have a successful home-birth! look forward to being under her incredible care for my second birth!

Compassionate and skilled midwife…read more I have had the pleasure of working alongside Full Circle Midwifery, Estee in particular thus far, as a Birth Doula and I cannot speak highly enough of her expertise and compassion. Throughout our time together, Estee has demonstrated a profound dedication to her patients' well-being. Her calm and reassuring presence in the birthing space has truly made a difference for the families we supported. Beyond her clinical skills, Estee has shown genuine care and empathy for her patients. She took the time to listen, answer questions, and ensure that everyone felt heard and respected. Her dedication to holistic care is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Full Circle looking to having a physiological homebirth.

Day of- they sat back and let my body do it's thing, offered support when I needed it, and made sure I was taken care of before leaving after baby boy came.

Robin (Licensed Midwife) is super sweet, soft spoken, always has a natural remedy for little symptoms throughout the time. The receptionist, Kat, is ON IT and also super sweet every time you arrive and is super helpful with anything insurance/money/ documentation - and she genuinely has your back with all of that stuff. I was blessed with a (relatively speaking) easy pregnancy but Robin answered 2/2 of my late night SOS calls that I had during that time frame. And when I called thinking labor was starting she was ready to get there and support me, no hesitation, despite it being a seemingly fast timeline (and thank goodness she trusted me and was ready, because I was 8-9cm by the time I got there). Overall, I wouldn't trade this experience for the world. Thank you, Robin & Kat! Love you, ladies!

Amy has been a God send even before my son was born…read more We did a pre-delivery Lactation consultation in the comfort and privacy of our home. She prepared us for what to do after delivery based on our desire to BF as long as possible which was great because when he wasn't latching because he was too sleepy possibly delivery we knew what to do. During this consultant I found out she is also a sleep consultant which I had lots of questions about as well. A few days after coming home I had her come over again and she really helped to get us settled while my milk transitioned from colostrum to milk. Now almost 2 months in she us supporting us with sleep training and I couldn't be happier to have her. She is a wealth of knowledge and since our first consultation has been available night and day via phone and text to answer any questions and help us troubleshoot through growth spurts etc. I would recommend her anyone - new mommy or not!!

I hope this review helps a new mom! There was so much I wish I knew when my baby was little!…read more I saw Rachel when my baby was about 2 weeks old. She didn't seem like she has much experience. She didn't do an oral exam on my baby, didn't check for ties, didn't check if he has a good seal when he sucks. She didn't size me for a correct flange for my pump. She didn't show me how to use my pump. She didn't show me how to hand express either. One of my nipples was bleeding and she didn't check for the reason. Did he have tension and that caused it? No one knows at this point. Rachel was nice and arrived on time but it seemed like she was more concerned about sending me links to stuff that I should buy rather than finding out what the issue for the slow weight gain was. She recommended a comotomo bottle that most experienced Lactation consultants know that are not breast like and it creates confusion for babies. Lastly of all if you are gonna pay the high price, get a IBCLC, which she is not. A list of IBCLCs could be found here: https://www.ilca.org/why-ibclc/falc I felt like I wasted $300 on nothing!! Don't make the same mistake as me!
