My husband and I were in search of a doula for the birth of our daughter and met Mackenzie at the OCWMG Midwife Meet 'n Greet. Mackenzie provided me with such great tools and resources to prepare my body and mind for labor including chiropractic and acupuncture care, labor prep circuits, colostrum harvesting, and hypnobirthing tracks. She also met with my husband and I to go over labor prep exercises for when I labor at home. Having Mackenzie by our side helped me to have my dream birth experience! Her calming presence allowed me to tap into a deeper strength I never knew I had within me. Mackenzie was so amazing to have for my husband as well during my birth - they were such a great team of support for me! From the moment I met Mackenzie, she has been such a kind, comforting, and loving presence. Her dedication to ensuring that I had my dream birth experience and my birth preferences were honored was such a blessing to me. We were so grateful that she also took my maternity photos and newborn photos after our daughter was born! Mackenzie is truly an angel and I am so grateful that she has become a great friend of mine! 10/10 !!!

Christy is seriously amazing. Finding the right midwife was really important to me because birth is…read moresuch a personal experience, and I knew I needed someone I felt 100% comfortable with. From the moment we met her, we just knew she was the perfect fit for us. This was our first baby, and she guided us through everything. She answered all of our questions, made us feel so supported, and honestly exceeded every expectation we had. I also really loved that she's the perfect balance of holistic, but will absolutely speak up if something medical is needed. You can tell her top priority is always keeping both mom and baby safe. We also took her Bradley Method class, which was so helpful and made me feel way more prepared and confident going into birth. We learned so much, and I've already been recommending it to everyone. I fully trusted her the entire time, which made such a difference for me going into labor and birth. Throughout my labor, she was there at any time of day to answer my calls and questions, and she always helped me feel calm and educated about what was happening. On the day of the birth, she was calm, confident, and completely in her element. She made the whole experience feel so smooth and magical. I recommend Christy to anyone, and I already know I'll want her as my midwife for all of my future babies

The team at Honey Midwifery has been cultivated with love and education. Every step of the way we talked through my concerns and we talked about the vision of how I wanted my birth to look. My partner was included at every appointment and together we celebrated each new milestone in my pregnancy with love and guidance from Christy and her team. When it was time for my son to make his earthside debut, Christy and her team created a safe space for me and my partner. It's hard to describe but they knew exactly when to check in and when to respect my space. Christy was right there when I needed her wisdom the most. Her words provided the warmth and safety I needed in my most vulnerable time. Honey Midwifery is committed to not only caring for mothers and their families during pregnancy (and postpartum), but also in providing education so families can make informed decisions. I am so glad we chose Honey Midwifery for our health team!

I didn't go into it knowing much about child birth or having a strong opinion about how to give birth - I left feeling so informed and now, four years later and knowing SO many women who have gone through it, I can passionately say this class is so important for every pregnant woman to take.

Even though this was my third pregnancy, I learned so much about how to care for myself and my baby. I loved that she wasn't pushy, but gave us the facts and let us make our own decisions. We often covered the importance of exercise and nutrition, and I made changes from that, which I believe contributed to a smoother and easier pregnancy than my first two. She also was so calm and professional throughout my labor and delivery. My husband noted how much he appreciated her composure during the most intense moments of my labor. She's the kind of person you'd want by your side when you're not in the right frame of mind. She also collaborated very well with her assistant, respecting her skills and experience during my postpartum assessment. We loved having her as our first midwife and home birth experience and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!

Ana is a godsend. When I was planning to have my 5th baby, the one thing I knew for sure is that I…read morewanted to have him at home. I interviewed so many great midwives, but as soon as I met Ana, I knew she was the right fit. She took me on late in my pregnancy (27ish weeks), and onboarding with her was so easy. The care that I received from her was supportive, kind, compassionate and steady. I appreciate how calm and nurturing she is while staying firm in her knowledge of pregnancy, birth, and of a woman's body overall. Her care is holistic and evidence-based, and she makes her clients actual partners in their care. We never did anything that I was uncomfortable with (which is almost unheard of in a hospital birth). When I started to go overdue, she was there to reassure me, and because she genuinely trusts the process of birth, she helped me trust my body as well. I had an absolutely amazing birth experience that my husband and I wouldn't trade for anything. My baby is two now (sorry this is so late!), but I still think of Ana often and so fondly. She became part of our family for the time she was with us and I will always love her for helping me have the birth experience of my dreams (even at 43 years old). Thank you Ana!

Melanie was a true blessing.

Before birth, she was always available for my questions, and help me clarify lot of medical terms, always sending me ressources to help me supports my decisions. Birth happened on July 15. She was by my side this whole time, her energy, her words gave me the confidence I needed. I was so scared but with her by my side I pushed through my fears and delivered my beautiful baby boy undedicated. She was truly amazing. While in my most vulnerable moment, the doctors didn't agree for me to push on all fours making insane comments while I was pushing, Melanie stood up for me saying that it was not appropriate for them to make theses comments. Because of her I delivered my baby the way I wanted it. Melanie made this experience even more beautiful and gave me the confidence and strength that I needed to do it. Thank you for everything and I am so glad I got to meet you. Your job is one of the most beautiful one and I hope you will continue helping mum for a very long time. Molly Popal.

I found Renea online & met with her a few days later in our home. I knew by the end of our meeting that she was who I wanted beside me as I labored and gave birth. On the day I went into labor we were in constant communication via text. Once active labor began she came over to my home (with all of her essential oils!) and worked through the contractions with me. She was a strong supporter for me during this intense time! She came with us to the hospital and was right by my side as I delivered my son. We hired her again for our second-born son's delivery and she was with me, again, during active labor and at the hospital. We also saw her for a postpartum visit after each delivery. It's been 2 years since we first hired her and we are still friends. I text her randomly with a question and she is quick to reply! I've said this before and i'll say it again--i wouldn't want to birth my babies without Renea by my side!

She is very sweet and I have referred her to friends. She has over 8 years of experience and doula-ed over 50 births (and that was at the time I interviewed her!) so more now! It was so important to me to have a well-seasoned and experienced doula. Also, her rates are very reasonable. She held my hand during labor and my fondest memory was her feeding me muffins and juice minutes before I had a no-epidural natural hypno-birth with my child at the Irvine Hoag hospital suite. Honestly, it could not have gone better and I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so very much, Karen. (On a side note, that one negative review should not count as hospitals kept changing rules at the start of the Covid pandemic in 2020 and were not allowing in doulas or additional relatives besides spouses! Silly as it was not Karen's fault.)
