I hopped on bored with PRM in the middle of my second trimester, always wanting a homebirth with a…read moremidwife and COVID being the final push for me to do so. I had warned upfront that we would have to work with payment because we were also buying a house. We would be able to eventually swing it, we were just waiting to close. Unfortunately, the closing for the house took way longer than expected and while these women claim it wasn't about money, I'm almost sure it was. I kept asking to discuss a payment plan so we'd have more stability and so they could see we really were committed, but every time I brought it up they always told me it was "fine". I'm 35 weeks pregnant, was only seen 3 times (plus an additional home visit where I was served the discharge papers), and God forbid talked to Sera about how I felt. On their website they say they offer mental support and I began experiencing ante-natal anxiety and this last week I had become depressed as well. So I reached out to Sera to express concerns I had about how I had felt put on the back burner considering every text message I had sent her prior had been not responded to and the fact that I kept missing appointments, to the point where I just texted Sarah about whatever I needed or whatever questions I had. The first time I got a text from Sera was her cancelling my appointment for a birth this past Friday. They both in the discharge letter and in my follow-up text messages after the discharge kept emphasizing my "personal offense" that didn't exist due to their cancellation of my appointments because of births they had to attend and my words were purposely twisted. When Sera came to my house, she was fake. Did a normal home visit and everything and then said she thinks we may not be a good fit. I reassured her I highly disagreed but I didn't know she already had discharged me until I read the letter after she left. I'm now awaiting a bill I'll more than likely be slammed with for 3 visits and condescension while also being abandoned at 35 weeks, where it will be very difficult for me to find a new provider never mind a midwife. I expressed my confusion and disappointment in what transpired along with how I will likely be delivering at home by myself now. I was ignored by both women Sera never responded (shocker) and Sarah didn't respond after suggesting the same highly clinical midwifery that Sera did, knowing I was not interested in having a nurse as a midwife. If this baby, myself, or both dies, it may not legally be your fault but you women know you could have been the factor preventing that had I not been abandoned and anyone would agree with that. How Absolutely disgusting. I feel violated and not like I can trust anyone else now to even assist with my labor and now I have to rush to find someone I likely won't trust after my experiences both with an OB delivering my twins and midwife now with a Singleton. I had felt really optimistic about it and yet again my experience has to be ruined. If you go with these people, never speak up for yourself or be your own advocate or provide any sort of critique because they clearly have very fragile egos. They insist it was not for monetary reasons so if it wasn't this, then they aren't as woman-of-color friendly like they claim. I doubt they get many POC customers and they discharge the one they had. Protect yourself from having to deliver solo like I likely will and find a better provider.

Little else can be said to accurately sum up my experience…read morewith Katie O'Day and Rebecca Price-Wood of Sacred Transitions Midwifery, yet I still have so much to add! Endowed with compassion and supremely skilled, Katie and Rebecca seamlessly blend the art of classical midwifery with the science of modern obstetrics to create a model of care that is awesome to behold. Their personalities complement each other beautifully, and they each breathe a unique air into their shared practice. Prenatal appointments are comprehensive yet relaxed, and postpartum care is exceptional, like nothing else I have experienced (and this was my fourth pregnancy and third homebirth!) Katie and Rebecca will treat you with compassion; your time and journey will truly be held as sacred while you are in their care. You will be respected. You will be heard. You will be enlightened, empowered, educated. Dare I say, you will be loved. For my fourth pregnancy I sought out Katie at the recommendation of my former midwife who had retired. I was nervous about having to find a new midwife after having such amazing previous experiences, and assumed that the odds of finding the "perfect" midwife for a second time were slim. One meeting with Katie was enough to assuage those fears, as it was clear to both my husband and me that she was compassionate, competent, and skilled. We trusted her immediately and we always felt safe and confident under her care. Rebecca joined Katie's practice late in my pregnancy, at about 36 weeks. I am generally very quiet and take a while to open up to people, but Rebecca immediately drew me out of my shell and I was chatting with her like I had known her for years. In addition, she was clearly as knowledgeable and passionate about her craft as Katie, and I was so thrilled to now have two amazing midwives directing my care! When they twice detected concerns with baby's heart rate late in my pregnancy, they humbly suggested that I visit the hospital for fetal monitoring to be sure there were not more serious concerns - it was easy to trust their judgement; I was not pressured to agree, and I was still in control of my choices. (On one such occasion, Katie even went above and beyond by driving me to the hospital and staying with me during fetal monitoring when I had no one else to available to go with me.) When labor day came, Rebecca arrived at my door first, with a smile, and was an incredibly intuitive labor coach, while Katie assumed the role of doula and assisted with pain management. They were such a great team! They seemed to know exactly what I needed at any given moment and made sure that I was taken care of so that I could focus on labor. I was confident that they were in control of the details, while I simultaneously maintained my autonomy. When my baby experienced shoulder dystocia, they handled it with such poise and skill that I was barely aware that something was amiss until after my daughter was safely in my arms. Postpartum was stellar! In addition to an extended window of care and more visits than the contemporary status quo, Katie is certified in "Mother Roasting," which combines traditional postpartum healing practices from around the globe to aid in recovery and transition you gently into motherhood. It was truly an honor to experience postpartum in this way; I felt so incredibly valued and was encouraged to take my time to heal. It was my most stable and successful postpartum period of all four of my children, and I know it was a direct result of Katie's extra-special attention and care. To top it all off, they even offer continuing well-woman services! They take a kinder, gentler approach to the necessary routine feminine checks, and are sure to address the full scope of your health. It is almost a year to the day since I gave birth, and I still think upon my experience with Katie and Rebecca often, and always with fondness. I have recommended them to others and will continue to do so for as long as they willing to offer their indispensable services to our community. My only regret is that this was likely the last baby for our family, and I will not have occasion to work with them again.

I sincerely do not know what I would have done without Vanessa. She helped me and my husband through a very difficult pregnancy, labor and delivery. She started as my midwife but quickly turned into my doula since a home birth wasn't recommended due to gestational diabetes's. She gave me information and guidance to help me stay off insulin and medication. Vanessa really cared about what "I" wanted and that was a breath of fresh air considering all the other OBs and midwifes I saw in the area like to tell me what I was going to do. I'll forever be grateful for her being by my side and helping me look forward to what was really important a healthy baby. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Vanessa. You have been such a wonderful midwife, doula and now friend to me. Thank you for what you do, for supporting what women want during their pregnancy and empowering them to do it. New Life Blessings will give you the information but let YOU make the decisions. If that's what you are looking for New Life Blessings won't let you down :) God Bless!

One of the best decision I have made during my first pregnancy is to work with Vanessa. As I was…read moretalking to her I felt connected and comfortable with her to share my most personal exPerience. She was warm and caring. At the same time she was able to demonstrate her knowledge and yet remained flexible to guide us into our own birth plan. She never imposed her opinion. She showed evidence from most current researches and helped us make our own decision. I was induced due to my overdue. With my second round of pitocin and induced labor being intensified, we asked her to come over and she showed up at the hospital. She maintained calm for entire time and her presence was absolutely reassuring. I truly loved her counter pressure and she reminded me to breath to get through the intense pain. She also knows all the procedures that I felt completely advocated by her. Also my husband felt comfortable with her coaching how to help me and he got some rest with her being with me. It was extremely helpful to have Vanessa who can professionally maintain healthy distance and guiding this overwhelming process with patience and kindness. She blended with my team and detected what I and my husband wanted accurately. I ended up having a c-section due to my fibroid and I was so scared. I never received a surgery in my life and I felt like a failure. I also hated that things did not work out the way I planned. I was very hesitant to make that decision. She was able to assist me in communicating with my husband who wanted me to get the surgery but respectful to my wish. When she gently mentioned that, I realized I tried everything I could to give a natural birth and it is the time to go on a plan B. She waited until my surgery was over and made sure we were ok. We only had positive experiences with Vanessa and strongly recommend her for anyone!!! She will make the precious birth experience as the best as it can be!
