    I'm not usually someone who leaves reviews, but this practice has been great. I originally came…read morehere after finding out my previous gynecologist didn't deal with pregnancies, and I'm so glad I made the switch. The office has four female doctors and a nurse practitioner, and everyone I've interacted with has been professional. One of my favorite features is their patient portal--it makes communicating with your doctor quick and easy, and I always receive timely responses. Highly recommend!

    I live in Moorpark near Moorpark College, and left myself 25 minutes at 11:15am to get to their…read moreoffice in Simi Valley (6.7 miles). I get on the 118 and in one minute it is a parking lot. I sit barely moving, and decide I better call the office and let them know. They tell me that I can be only 10 minutes late, or they will cancel my appointment. As I get closer to the Madera off ramp, I see the off ramp is closed so now I need to go further out of the way. I am trying my best to navigate to the office. and I walk in 10 minutes late EXACTLY. The middle aged white woman with dark hair is immediately rude, telling me I'm too late, and I'm trying to explain that I called and informed your office and was told I would be ok if I was up to 10 minutes late. She says no, their internal clock is set differently, and I am past the time. I need to now reschedule she says. I am livid, and I say no I'm not, and walk out. Terrible way to talk to and treat a 3 year patient of this office. I will never set foot in there again.

    If you are looking for relatable, zero judgement, super informed and extremely supportive and…read morehelpful midwives, Maggie and Andrea are it! We were in their care for our first pregnancy and they made us feel so much care and love throughout. I loved having a personal connection with them. We really enjoyed every appointment and I'm really sad we have "graduated" out of care and moving on to our pediatrician/family doctor. A few things that stood out and I particularly appreciated about their practice: 1. Their office is small and cozy and a few minutes from our home. 2. Labs were ran through an in network provider, so I didn't have to pay out of pocket. Even though they are not in-network with anyone. Also results always came back super fast. 3. They have referrals for just about everything related to pregnancy and postpartum and some in-network providers. 4. Most appts are an hour long and they are extremely responsive/communication is always top tear. 5. They are also lactation specialist, so no need to hire someone else if you need help or have questions once baby is born. 6. They are a great balance of holistic/western medicine and have a great relationship with Ventura County Medical if you need to go to the hospital for any reason at any time during your pregnancy, delivery or postpartum. 7. They are super down to earth, funny and relatable! We will def. be reaching out again for future pregnancies! Love them!

    My husband and I couldn't have chosen a better care team for our family. Andrea and Maggie…read moresupported us through our entire first pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We left each prenatal visit excited and without worry. They are both so knowledgeable and have great energy. My birth experience was so special. They came to my house early morning and by early afternoon my son was in my arms. Maggie coached me through contractions on the phone allowing me to relax until they arrived. Once they arrived at my home, they set up quietly and quickly making sure not to disturb me. Throughout my labor, they massaged my back with essential oils and made sure I stayed hydrated and energized with water, juice, and snacks. They encouraged me as I pushed and helped move me into different positions when things got tough for me. When my boy was born, they handed him directly to me for skin-to-skin. Within the first two weeks after the birth of my son, Maggie and Andrea helped educate us on tongue ties(while still recommending we do our additional research). They referred us to a specialist who successfully cut our son's ties(tongue and lip). We saw Andrea and Maggie shortly after and they were able to demonstrate how to properly stretch the wounds. At about 5 weeks postpartum, I went to the emergency room for pain and ended up getting surgery to remove my gallbladder. While I was in the hospital my son ran out of breast milk. My husband reached out to our midwives and they were able to help us get donor milk. Once I was released, I noticed a dip in my milk supply and they saw us for two additional visits to help me increase my supply and then to confirm our baby was transferring enough milk. Andrea and Maggie are wonderful midwives with so much knowledge. They truly care about the families in their care, not just the moms and babies but the dads too. I am so lucky I found them and would never do a birth with anyone else. If you or someone you know needs quality people on their care team, Andrea and Maggie are the best.

She…read morearrived and took off her shoes and immediately washed her hands so we weren't worried about germs. She pulled out all her tools out of her bag like Mary Poppins! She helped us with a weighted feed, asked us tons of relevant questions to help identify the problem, and gave us several things to try including an SNS system in which she gave us. She was very knowledgeable and we left feeling empowered. She also followed up with us to see how things were going and to see if we had questions. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

She's also very responsive and provides good communication via text, which is amazing when you always have a sleeping newborn in your arms! I've been working with Alice for two months now and she conveniently comes to my home. The first visit was urgent and I was able to see her in less than 24 hours of getting connected to her--I was in so much pain and she helped me establish a good latch with my newborn, which set us up for success. During our other visits, Alice has helped me with a large range of issues like managing oversupply, using the bottle, pump, etc. While the visits have been covered by insurance, she really goes above and beyond by remaining accessible to answer questions as needed. Her communication and kindness really stand out! As a first time mom, I didn't realize how hard breastfeeding would be and how many issues would pop up. It's been very reassuring to have Alice as a resource.

    I've had an overall disappointing experience with this practice, and unfortunately I can't…read morerecommend them. The midwives themselves have been great. They are kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, but the front office and administrative side has been consistently frustrating. The administrative staff is disorganized and unprofessional. They frequently mix up appointment times, give conflicting information, and make even simple tasks feel unnecessarily difficult. They don't use email or an online portal to send updates, test results, or appointment confirmations, which makes it almost impossible to keep track of anything. Everything has to be done by phone, and the communication is often curt or dismissive. Another major frustration is that any time I need bloodwork, I have to schedule a completely separate appointment with a third-party lab instead of being able to do it in-office. This makes routine prenatal care far more inconvenient than it needs to be. I really wanted to have a good experience here, especially since the clinical care from the midwives has been positive, but the front-office management has caused so much stress and confusion that I'm choosing to switch practices. I hope they improve their administrative processes and communication in the future.

I originally found her postpartum and she has helped me heal from birth but now has treated me through my second pregnancy as well. My son is over 2 now and has benefitted immensely from his regular appointments: his sleep, appetite, growth and immunity are all basically super hero status. Her approach is gentle but very effective and she is so good with my son. I can't imagine going through pregnancy and postpartum with out these treatments, my body feels strong for birth and navigating postpartum with a toddler and a new born.

    I'm not sure I have the words to fully describe how incredible Mary is. After our daughter was…read moreborn, my husband said that the three birth essentials are diapers, wipes, and Mary--and I couldn't agree more. Mary's prenatal yoga classes are incredibly calming and create such a beautiful sense of community. You meet wonderful moms and moms-to-be, and Mary has a gift for transporting you into a place of peace and relaxation during a time that can feel overwhelming and uncertain. Her prenatal doula appointments are never rushed and provide invaluable education, guidance, and preparation for birth. Throughout my pregnancy, I was able to text Mary with questions, concerns, and fears, and her insight and support were always incredibly valuable. When it came time to give birth, Mary was truly indispensable. She started as a calming presence during contractions, helping distract me from the intensity, keeping me focused, and providing constant encouragement. During pushing, she guided me through different positions and became my biggest cheerleader. After 4 1/2 hours of pushing, I had reached a point where I felt completely defeated and ready to give up. Mary never let me lose faith in myself and helped me find the strength to keep going. I truly believe that without her support, my birth experience would have looked very different and likely involved more interventions. Her care didn't stop after delivery. During postpartum visits, she arrived with delicious homemade goodies, checked in on my recovery, and continued to provide reassurance and guidance when I needed it most. Mary is a wealth of knowledge, compassion, and support during one of the most transformative, vulnerable, and sometimes scary experiences of your life. Having her by my side was one of the best decisions we made, and I genuinely cannot imagine going through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum without her.

    I cannot recommend Mary Skinner enough. She is not just a doula--she is an angel sent from heaven…read moreto make your labor and delivery experience as smooth, supported, and empowering as possible. From the moment we connected, Mary's depth of knowledge, warmth, and intuition put me at ease. She met with my partner and me before delivery, spending hours walking us through what to expect, how to prepare my body, and how my partner could actively support my experience. No question was too small, and she answered my endless stream of inquiries with patience, wisdom, and zero judgment. When it came time to labor, Mary was by my side every step of the way. Even though my birth was not what we planned, Mary advocated for me and created a calm and sacred space with soothing massages, body oils, and sound bowls. When I think back to my labor and birth story, I literally see her face... she practically labored WITH me through her hands on support, coaching, encouragement, guidance, and unwavering empowerment. It carried me through. And her care didn't stop there. Postpartum, Mary showed up at my home with a bundle of thoughtful recovery goodies. She not only provided a healing full-body massage and prepared a soothing sitz bath, but she also cleaned my (very messy) postpartum bathroom--without hesitation or judgment. Her level of care, both physically and emotionally, is unparalleled. Mary was truly a godsend during my first pregnancy, and I will undoubtedly hire her again for every one of my future births! If you're considering working with her, don't walk--RUN to book her. She is simply the best of the best.
