Shivani Lash is the warmest, wisest and most caring midwife and it was a great privilege and answer…read moreto prayer to be under her care for my fifth pregnancy and birth. When my husband and I were considering having a home birth for our fifth baby, I knew the type of support I wanted, already having given birth four times and also being a doula, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to find my perfect midwife match here in our area. When we met with Shivani for the first time, I sensed that she was gentle-natured, humble, experienced and wise, had a balanced approach, and that she had a very calming and grounding presence which are all very valuable traits in a midwife! I felt like she indeed had the qualifications and character traits I was hoping to find and I was looking forward to having her on my birth team! The best words to describe my prenatal care with Shivani was loving and luxurious. She took the very best care of me at every visit. She was so honoring in the way she would ask for permission before ever touching me (and her hands were always as warm as her heart!) and she explained each and every test before she performed it and wanted to be sure I understood what it was for and why and she never forced anything on me that I didn't feel comfortable with. She was there for me professionally, she gave me her thoughts in light of current research and her own years of experience but she also honored my autonomy. And I also greatly appreciated her natural approach to pregnancy and birth. She is very knowledgeable about how to nourish and to stay well prenatally and postpartum naturally which is a great blessing! And while it was a smooth pregnancy overall, there were a few things that came up unexpectedly and I really appreciated how she helped me navigate them. She was calm and knowledgeable and offered wisdom and support. She always gave me the full range of approaches available in each given situation, provided me with resources, answered all my questions, and I was able to glean insight from her years of experience. All these things combined with prayer for God's ultimate guidance, my husband and I were able to process and make decisions that we felt such peace and confidence in at the end of the day. My birth experience was such a gift. Shivani came when we were ready for her, she was attentive, intuitive, patient and so loving from beginning to end. She gave both my husband and I ample support. She was there for me physically and offered suggestions of positions to try, she took turns with my husband providing counter pressure on my back, she kept the water in the birth pool nice and warm and she made me broths and teas and reminded me to take sips of my electrolyte water. She was also there for me emotionally and steadfastly kept me going when I felt like I couldn't keep going the last few hours before baby finally arrived. She knew when to be hands on and when to step back and give space. My husband absolutely loved this birth experience because we both felt comfortable to do whatever was needed in each moment with no pressure of time or pesky continuous monitoring systems that constantly need to be adjusted, endless questions needing to be answered in the thick of contractions, care providers coming in and out of the room unintentionally disrupting the birth flow, etc. We were not constrained by hospital protocols or any other dynamic, we could just be present and free to do what needed to be done. Her postpartum care was also such a gift. Shivani made sure I knew she was there for me 24/7 if I needed anything in the days following my birth. She checked in on me and baby often and paid us multiple visits. We had three major storms hit us within a three month period, just before and after our baby was born. A woman already feels exceptionally vulnerable postpartum but add a few natural disasters into the mix and it's quite the emotionally trying experience. She made sure we were prepared before the storms and checked on us afterwards, even offering to help us prepare in any way. She cares so deeply for each one of her mommas! Any questions or concerns I had once baby was born, she was more than happy to help me find answers. I just always felt Shivani's heart, that she wanted me to feel cared for and completely supported as I found my footing as a new mom of five. I'm so grateful for Shivani's care. It was exactly the type of experience I was praying for and more. I recommend her with all my heart to any momma considering a home birth in the area. She is a true gift to all of us women giving birth in this area at this time! We are so blessed to have her!

I had a nightmare of an experience with them and am shocked with how I was treated. I've never been treated so poorly or met with such hostility from a medical professional team. Every appointment, of which I had three, I left with more questions than answers causing unnecessary anxiety. My very first appointment was at 5 weeks and I had an ultrasound showing a sac in my uterus and a cyst on my ovary (3x3cm). The doctor told me he cannot rule out that it's not ectopic and told me to go to the ER if I had any cramping or bleeding while at my wedding in Mexico. After talking with friends and hours of research (thank you ChatGPT), I learned it's pretty standard/normal to have a cyst on your ovary, and a sac in your uterus is indicative of a normal/healthy pregnancy. For my second appointment at 7 weeks the doctor was in and out in less than 8 minutes. I had an ultrasound where we learned the cyst on my ovary had doubled in size within the last two weeks. I was looking for any information, good or bad, about this cyst and what to expect. I was met with hostility as though I should know all the answers myself. The doctor said to us "what questions do you have before I leave the room." My husband asked if the cyst is something we should be worried about and the doctor held up his hand to show us how big 7 cm is. My husband luckily thought to ask what the cyst was filled with (fluid), so we could at least do some research on our own. No information was volunteered by the doctor or staff, we had to know exactly what to ask. After my second appt went by so abruptly, I called the next day to ask what the transfer process would be if we wanted to change providers. We received an email address for the practice and were told to email them if we wanted to transfer my records, and to include the contact info for whatever practice we plan to move to. After discussion with my husband, we decided to stay with Lotus women's health-- maybe this last appointment was just a fluke, and it is very close to our house. I called back within the hour to clarify that we're not changing practices and wanted to be sure to keep my currently scheduled appointments and confirmed we were staying- please don't cancel my appointments. Prior to my next appointment, I was sure to complete all appointment confirmations and pre-check-in information for my next appointment, so I was sure I was in their system and they were ready/able to see me. Today was my third and last appt, which was so hostile and very confusing. I'm now 11 weeks along and it had been 4 weeks since my last ultrasound (which had complications due to my large cyst so I was excited to have my next one). They mentioned at the end of my second appointment that this 3rd ultrasound would be trans-abdominal (whereas my past two were trans-vaginal), plus I've also had one every appointment so I'm thinking that's how these things work. When we were put in a room without ultrasound abilities, I asked what we were doing today. A few minutes later, the office manager came in to tell me there will be no ultrasound and that today is just a check-up. After a few minutes of questions, the office manager said "clearly you're unhappy here so I recommend transferring." I was shocked and so confused. I'm a first time mom and need a bit of hand-holding, kindness, and clear communication on what comes next. I did not get that. I've never done any of this before and I'm not a medical professional, so I was hoping for more information to be volunteered rather than expecting us to know what to ask and how to navigate this journey. I am shocked with how we were treated these last two appointments, especially today, and very sad it went the way that it did. I hope any expecting moms who go here are treated with more kindness than my husband and I were. Best wishes and happy, healthy pregnancies to all! Edit: to any prospective patients, I encourage you to visit their google reviews and take note that they share personal patient information in their argumentative responses to all negative reviews. A clear privacy violation, plus a complete lack of patient care or customer service. Beware.
