Emily is awesome and super helpful. We had a 2 hour appointment where she addressed my concerns, did a weighted feed with my baby, assessed for ties and assessed his latch. They also sell tons of breastfeeding stuff that can usually only be found online, such as Legendairy Milk supplements and Pumpin Pal flanges. I was also able to rent a Medela scale that's very accurate for a reasonable price, and I know they also rent out pumps. The only downside is they don't accept insurance for lactation consultations but I don't regret paying out of pocket.

After delivery I was having extreme pain and long feeds, and I was able to have an AT HOME visit, which was amazing itself. Emily was able to promptly provide feedback on my newborns feeding and issues, which we got a great recommendation listing for pediatric dentist for lip and tongue ties removals. Since the procedures, my newborn has been feeding great and gaining weight, and the several follow up appointments have been just as good, Emily provided techniques on different positions, how to adjust the latch, and queues for when baby is done eating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Fern Lactation! They are just great people and glad they were apart of my postpartum experience! Furthermore, the scheduling process was great! They were able to text to help set up appointments and made it so streamlined and less stressful! THANK YOU!

She…read morewas my midwife till 32 weeks with our son, when complications with an ovarian cyst led us to decide on a hospital birth where she assisted me as a doula. I had an incredible birth experience and I believe it is largely be due to Emily's ability to teach me what my body could really do. When labor came, I knew I was capable of birthing my son, not because I was in the 'perfect' environment or because everything was going as planned, but because over the past 40 weeks I had really learned what I was capable of. Going into labor I felt very educated, so if complications arose we could make a well informed decision. During active labor her doulaing was a life saver! When my contractions/surges seemed overwhelming, she guided me how to use them to help my baby come. Her knowledge and intuition on how to assist a woman in labor is such a gift. Emily has an amazing ability to be professional while creating a trusting, personal relationship. When we decided to go with a hospital birth late in my pregnancy, it was a very emotional time and transferring care was complicated. The whole time she was a determined advocate for me and didn't leave us to navigate the very confusing conventional health system on our own. I hope every woman can have a companion like Emily by her side as she goes through the process of becoming a mama.

I was elated but knew I needed to find the right provider who would be totally supportive of my decision to give birth naturally. I interviewed 2 other OB's + they automatically told me that they don't have time to wait for twin moms to labor & I knew they weren't a fit. I emailed Dr. Stu from CA + another midwife in the Greater Seattle area asking for recs. I was led to Dr. Ho! In short, my care with her was excellent. She didn't do unnecessarily long ultrasounds. She encouraged me to eat a ton of protein to ensure good blood volume & weight gain. She didn't enforce or force anything on me + my twin sons even though it was clear what her opinions were on certain things. She just encouraged me to let my body do its work & to wait on timing. She herself has twin brothers!! Lol. Honestly she made midwifery/OB life so cool + interesting. Not for me though. Anywho... She also has incredible bedside manners lol never barged in when I was in the middle of labor just right at the end to catch my sons. Seriously so sad that she closed her clinic cause she's quite the OB/midwife. The hospital also respects her a lot & trusts her judgment which was awesome to see. Praying that she heals + enjoys her retirement. She is a gem. My sons were both over 7 lbs. I didn't have NICU time. It was my fastest labor... and no complications all glory to God!! So thankful for her Also the staff there was so chill, friendly, & genuine. I really am so sad that she's not in practice anymore.

DO NOT GO HERE THEY CANNOT TREAT THE VOLUME OF PATIENTS THEY TAKE IN!!!…read more I actually had to switch OB/GYN offices because I was suffering patient neglect from this location. I have been having severe nausea and vomiting from the very first appointment I ever had there. The midwife, Karin Peacock, neglected to record any of my symptoms of nausea and vomiting and actually wrote in her notes that I was doing great. The only advice she had given me about being nauseous vomiting constantly and in capable of eating any food was "have you ever thought about it being fuel for the baby?" As if I'm some kind of idiot. When I finally got a diagnosis for hyperemesis gravidarum she told me that she thinks I probably don't actually have that. Even though I was diagnosed by the ER doctor that has a higher degree more experience and more knowledge in the subject that she recommended I go to. I was honest with one of the receptionists about what had happened and she told me she thought they could do better and asked me if I would like to come in and speak with Dr. Ho the main doctor at this office. When I came in to speak with Dr. Ho she told me that they have too many clients to be offering that level of care or being able to keep track of who has just morning sickness and who has HG. Dr. Ho if you're reading this if you cannot take care of the volume of patients that you have you need to lower the amount of patients that you're seeing. This is malpractice this is patient neglect and I hope that no one ever hast to deal with what I dealt with at your clinic it was absolutely pathetic and ridiculous. The fact that you laughed at me when I tried to speak with you about the issues I was having with Karin Peacock it's jarring.

The endless cycle of breastfeeding and pumping bordered on grueling. I was anxious, irritable and found it hard to sleep (although I was exhausted!). Enter Doula Deb, who helped us mostly with overnight care so we could get the restorative sleep we desperately needed. Deb was calm, caring, supportive, reliable and positive. She listened and provided us with information, baby-care tips and encouragement.

It has taken me 7 years to write a review. Susan was my midwife and I was fortunate enough that she…read moretook me under her care a few weeks before my due date, not without charging me the full amount of course. I had just turned 20 and my husband had just been discharged from the army and we had just moved to Washington. I was traveling from Bellevue so expected at least a 45 minute trip to the birthing center when I did go into labor. My mother called Susan the day before to tell her I had a family history of very fast labors and that I was showing signs of early labor. When we left Bellevue that night , my mom called to let her know we were heading to The Birthing Inn. Susan let us know she was out to dinner with her family but would meet us there. Well we got there and the place was dark and I proceeded to labor in the car hoping I didn't give birth before she arrived. She finally showed up after 25 minutes and set up a room for me, not the room I chose even though there were no other women there. I had agreed to having a single student present and there were at least 3 strangers I'd never met coming in and out and I was very upset about that. I felt she took all my money and used me for all her students to gain experience. After I gave birth, I felt great. I remember sitting on the edge of the birthing tub when Susan said that the placenta needed to be delivered right away and that I was bleeding too much. She then pulled my placenta out of my body...I felt it tear out of me and instantly felt a gush of blood and was extremely weak. Barely after placing my baby on my chest to nurse she was bringing up controversial things that my husband and I had not yet agreed on, asking us if we had come to an agreement, which was none of her business and caused me a lot of distress. She was still concerned about my bleeding and told me that if It didn't stop that she was going to have me transferred to a hospital. After 6 hours she was rushing me out of there and told me if I wasn't able to get up and walk out of there then she was calling an ambulance. She was gone before I left. I remember hobbling out of the room and having to sit down multiple times to avoid passing out. I felt so stressed that she would send me to the hospital and separate me from my baby. A sad difference from when I gave birth to my second child and was wheeled out in a wheelchair and given so much support and compassion. My birth felt like a rushed inconvenience.. like she was just trying to get back to her family and she had no respect for me or my birthing experience.
