I spoke with Brittany on the phone to ask about her services and availability. Brittany provided the earliest date and time of her next appointment. I explained I would need to confirm with my wife if that appointment time and date would work and call her back. Brittany said to text her back as she was with a client. No problem at all I said. I texted her back 25 minutes later to confirm the appointment as asked, however we did not receive a text back. I called Brittany back later that day and got her voicemail so I left a message. Ghosted. We didn't get a text or call back.

I emailed Lauren the day that I found out I was pregnant with our second daughter to make sure she…read morewould be available for our home birth! Lauren was an attending midwife at our first daughter's birth, and she brought such a peaceful, calming presence to the birth of my first baby. During my entire pregnancy, Lauren was nothing but supportive and helpful. We laughed, and I cried during some emotional visits, but I always felt supported, loved and safe in her care. My daughter was nearly two weeks late, and while I was nervous about getting to our 'deadline', Lauren put my husband and I at ease and assured us everything would work out! Even though I was not a 'new' mom, getting back into nursing and all things newborns was a little difficult! Lauren was so helpful with all of my postpartum care, as well! Lauren is an amazing midwife, and she makes me want to have more babies just so that I can have another magical home birth!

I highly recommend Lauren for all her services…read more I first met Lauren in 2015 when she became my current (at the time) midwifes assistant as I delivered my baby boy #2. I loved how soft, sweet & gentle she was. I also appreciated how she remained calm & grounded as my baby was born with his cord wrapped around his neck. She was on top of it and everything worked out smoothly, which I am so grateful for. She was great then & even more amazing when I had the pleasure of having her as my midwife for my 3rd baby boy! As my midwife, Lauren was very involved and attentive to every single need and desire I had. She was so supportive, which meant the world to me. Lauren is extremely knowledgeable and is still always building on that knowledge which I love! With her in charge, I felt more at ease during this pregnancy & especially during my delivery. She genuinely cares. She's there when you need her, even far after delivery. That includes being on top of all the paperwork too! We had Lauren encapsulate my placenta after both births with no complaints. We also loved the umbilical cord art she made. Should I decide to be so daring to have baby #4, I hope to have her by my side again! She is absolutely amazing!

I've taken two of their mommy-and-baby class series, and I loved both of them. Each series includes special touches like each week is a different topica mini photoshoot, a swim party, and so much more, which makes it absolutely worth every penny. Carmen, who helped lead the group, is amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always makes me feel heard. She gives thoughtful advice and truly cares about the moms and babies she works with. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does. I've also attended several music classes with Michelle, and those have been some of my favorites. My daughter absolutely loves music time, and Michelle does such a great job keeping the kids engaged and entertained. We truly love The Mommy Center and are so grateful for everything they offer!!

As a first-time mom, I'm incredibly grateful for her guidance. Breastfeeding felt overwhelming at first, but Ashley made the process clear, supportive, and manageable. I truly can't recommend her enough.

After a difficult birth experience with my first (at a different practice), I educated myself on the physiology of birth hoping for a different experience the second time around.

Let me start off by saying, every single appointment I felt tended to and cared for! It was such a…read moredifferent experience, as I transferred around 25 weeks to midwifery care from OBGYN care. Instead of brief 5 minute appointments, I had informative conversations and all my questions/concerns were answered. I wasn't able to make it to the midwifery birthing suite because I never got to 6cm dilation on my own. My birth did not go to plan at all, my water broke at 3:55am I labored at home for almost 3 hours at 3 to 5 minutes apart with my contractions. Midwife Diane encouraged us to labor at home as long as possible, but we live 35-45 minutes away, so I went to the hospital and was admitted to L&D, but for about 18 hours I was only 1.5cm dilated and my contractions slowed down. Since my water was broken for more than 24 hours I had to start antibiotics for my baby, and after much deliberation with my midwife, I ended up with the epidural and a low dose of pitocin. It was highly disappointing to be unable to stay at the birthing suite, I wish they'd admit sooner the 6cm dilation, but Midwife Julie was absolutely wonderful, she went over all my options and helped me figure out the most peaceful actions to take for my labor. She helped me not feel totally discouraged, you can tell she really put mama first and actually cares! It was wonderful having her deliver my baby, especially because she is the midwife I'd seen the most. I think she helped prevent me from tearing terribly with her techniques. Baby girl was delivered safely, and I was able to rest before delivering her. I had over an hour of skin to skin before they examined her, and all of my birth plan for postpartum was met. I think the hardest part was just my shattered expectations my original birth plan, and a nurse named Pauola who kept jabbing me with needles says "oops your vein exploded, let me try another vein". I also requested no students and that same nurse brought in some nurses-in-training to learn how to set up the Nitrious Oxide, but the students, funny enough, got it working because the nurse didn't turn it on correctly. As for the midwives, every single one I met was absolutely WONDERFUL. They made me feel super confident and excited about giving birth, and I felt extremely supported! I labored for 30 hours, but I'm so grateful for my midwife. Even though my actual labor wasn't according to plan, it was beautiful, and peaceful and I would 1000% do it all over again. The few times I spoke to the head midwife Christina, she was also really informative and kind! I truly had a great experience. I can't wait (...well, I can wait a little bit) to have my next baby with the midwives! Hopefully this little girl made way for the next on to come easier and that I can make it to the birthing suite. If you give birth here, you are in exceptional care!! You're in good hands with Christiana, Julie and the other midwives.
