Katie is generous kind and patient from the start through till the end. She goes beyond her job…read moredescription for sure. I can't tell you how wonderful and vital her care and support for me has been. I am 6 weeks postpardom writing this, so I can confidently say she is fantastic every step of the way. I love that she never rushes you, or minds you asking questions. I am a first time mom, so I have had a lot of them-more than I thought I ever would. She has been there to answer them and to reassure me, well beyond birth. Its been such a giant relief to have someone professional to go to with things versus making a million doctor appointments just to have a question answered that's causing great concern now. No waiting and stressing, she's made herself available to me-being just a call or text away. I'm so grateful. I also appreciate that Katie doesn't make herself out to be a guru of all things, she has lots of resources and connections for anything in which she is not an expert. I've had issues arise here and there and she's not left me hanging, she's been sure to refer me to the appropriate help and doesn't get offended if they aren't working out the way you needed them to be. She was literally perfect throughout all of labor, and I had what I consider a rough labor at 30+ hours of back labor and hours of pushing. Hands off when she needed to be and hands-on when I needed her to be - Katie was the perfect balance. Both my hubby and I were very impressed. Throughout everything she's been consistent in giving me her balanced perspective and offering the freedom I need to make a decision. Also, one of the reasons we chose Katie is that she is unique as a midwife because of her experience and education. Remembering Katie was an RN in the NICU and has ample midwife certifications, often put us at ease knowing she has varied experience and a balance of perspective. Katie is well worth her weight in gold and much more (she should really charge way more for her services)! Just make sure you contact her early enough, she only takes on so many at a time! Also, when first meeting her, don't make the same mistake I almost made by taking her quietness for lack of confidence/competence. You won't regret having Katie on your side; I consider Katie an essential part of my experience. I can adamantly and repeatedly say I would NOT want to know what it would've been like without her.

I cannot recommend Katie enough. She was always there to answer any questions I had during my…read morepregnancy, no matter how big or small. When I had a small prelabor scare in my second trimester she responded quickly and made sure to follow up with me the next morning after it passed. She was very supportive but let me take the lead when labor began. Once she arrived they set up quickly and she held my hand through contractions when everyone else was busy. She was a calm and motivating energy through the entire thing. Her postpartum follow up was amazing and she didn't leave until she was sure everything had been taken care of and we were all comfortable. She even filed the paperwork for my daughter's SS card and birth certificate. She was also able to help me with some minor breastfeeding issues the first few weeks. If I ever have another child I would choose her as my care provider without a second thought.

Buddha Belly, and our dula, Moriah, are absolute life savers!…read more My partner and I welcomed our first child in March and quickly became overwhelmed by the intensity and demands of caring for a newborn. I called Buddha Belly without fully understanding what type of support we would need, and they instantly put me at ease. They explained what different types of support looked like (full-time vs part-time, night vs day coverage, etc) and within a day had set us up with interviews for our dula. Most of all, they were very patient and accommodating as our needs changed. Buddha Belly is professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to supporting our family. Our dula Moriah is passionate about her work, is wonderful with our son and has taught us so much. We wholeheartedly recommend this service to any family looking for compassionate, trustworthy, high-quality childcare.

Warmly welcomed by the support team, Amy took charge in listening to our wishes/needs, partnering us with Doula Jenessa for a consult at our home to see if it would be a good fit. Jenessa was incredible from the moment she stepped into our home, easing our anxieties and concerns with her calming/genuinely warm personality. We worked with her, scheduling manager Amy, and accounting manager Julia, to structure 10 weeks of services 2x week, extending multiple times until our LO could sleep through the night. Being first time parents, the amount of knowledge learned from Jenessa was extensive and we credit her, Amy, and the B.B. team for giving us such a great start. Highly recommend - worth every penny.

I can't say enough good things about Charlie. I was planning my second home birth when I found out…read moremy baby had some health concerns and would need to be born in a hospital. I started calling home birth midwives for doula referrals, and I was so lucky to connect with Charlie. She truly brought a piece of the home birth experience into the hospital room. Charlie was a fierce advocate, not only for me, but also an incredible source of support for my husband. She brought a sense of peace and calm to what felt like a very unknown and overwhelming situation. I felt completely safe with her by my side. Charlie helped us talk through every decision, making sure we felt informed and confident in our choices. Her support didn't end after the birth either, she consistently checked in postpartum and continued to care for our whole family. I truly can't recommend Charlie enough. She is an amazing, steady, and calming presence. Whether you're planning a home birth or just looking for strong, compassionate birth support, you are in the very best hands with Charlie. Her care extends beyond just mom, she supports the entire family.

I'm currently in the process of taking Barefoot Birth to court for money I prepaid for their…read moreservices. I made a prepayment before 36 weeks and it is not being returned. I informed them I would be transferring care at 32 weeks. I told the owner that I would pay for any prenatal appointments I went to, but she made a bill with fees I was not aware of. My invoice was the exact amount I prepaid which is very suspicious. The invoice even said my $500 deposit was a charge for some reason instead of applied to my balance like the contract states. The invoice seemed to be made in a rush and its purpose to zero out my account so they could keep my money. I will add my entire experience after court. In the meantime, if you choose this midwifery, ask them to outline their fees and what you owe after every appointment to avoid this. Overall disappointed with Charlie's (owner) handling of this issue.

As soon as I met Mary Catherine I knew I wanted her to be a part of my birth experience. She made…read moreme feel so relaxed and comfortable. It felt like we had been friends for years. I explained to her my desire to have a VBAC, which she was very supportive of and helped calm all of my anxieties. Our communication was great all throughout my pregnancy. She came to our house a few times to meet with me and my husband to discuss any questions we had, as well as accompanied me to one of my appointments with the midwife. After my labor initially started fast and strong I began to stall and we discovered that my daughter had turned right occiput posterior. Fortunately, Mary Catherine was well-versed in "spinning babies" techniques, which ultimately helped my baby get back into the proper position and for labor to progress. She was right by my side for every contraction helping me to control my breathing, getting me in different labor positions, and using counter pressure on my back (which was AMAZING!). Without her support and knowledge I do not believe I would have been able to have the natural VBAC delivery I had hoped for. She was my rock throughout my 16 hour labor and her support was absolutely invaluable! Her services went above and beyond being a doula and encapsulating my placenta. I consider her part of our family now and will absolutely hire her to be a part of any future births we have. Thank you MC!!
