I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sena. She has such a wealth of wisdom to offer and her very presence is calming and confidence-building. Which is important when you're in the middle of the birthing process. I moved from California to Colorado while pregnant with my second child. I had chosen a birth center for my first birth. Which would have been just fine if someone like Sena had been in charge of it. Instead, I somehow ended up with someone whom I lovingly refer to as my "Nazi midwife". I will spare you the horror story, but let us just say that my birth-plan was thrown out the window, I was treated with the respect generally offered to a parasite and the "midwife" began threatening me during labor with all the things I was so studiously trying to avoid (pitocin, episiotomy, hospital removal, caesarian, etc). It took me 18 hours of being screamed at "PUSH!!" and my feeling on the whole is that it was by the grace of God alone and through no help of that former nurse midwife that I managed to have my son on my own. So, not the experience I was hoping for as a natural mommy. Fast-forward to 2012. With Sena's natural wisdom and sincere kindness guiding me through my pregnancy, I grew back a lot of lost confidence in my birthing ability. I was able to have my daughter in a birthing tub in the comfort of my own room in my own home. My labor, start to finish was a total of 6 hours. And I just kinda fell in love with Sena throughout the whole process. We went back in 2014 for the birth of our last child. Again, with Sena's counsel and listening ear (and those two right there are worth far more than you will pay her, trust me!), I gave birth to my second daughter. Four hours total labor. In my own home, surrounded by peace and tranquility. I guess the thing I love about Sena most is that she is so incredibly giving of herself to her clients. You feel loved on and cared for. After you're all done with having children, you kinda feel like you still need Sena because it is too much to give her up. For that time when labor is upon you, there is a bonding that happens because of the love, the nurture, the natural wisdom and calm and confidence that she offers to you. I review her because I want everyone to have that kind of experience in their labor and birthing. It makes such a difference! read more

I got Sena's name from a friend, who also had a homebirth. After an initial interview, during which I bonded with her dog, Radar, we knew we'd found our midwife. I felt that almost a thousand births constituted sufficient experience, and her calm confidence, strength, and wisdom were exactly what I was looking for. Even my husband, who was less sure about the homebirth idea, was confident after meeting with Sena. Our homebirth was a success. I was 41 weeks and 3 days when our healthy baby boy was born. We will certainly use Sena for future additions to our family. read more

Sena has delivered all of our children and took great care of my wife every step of the way! Not sure why Linda gave Birth Choice 1 star when she admits she doesn't even know Sena. Almost to the end of yet another pregnancy and we wouldn't have chosen anyone else! read more
