Katie is generous kind and patient from the start through till the end. She goes beyond her job…read moredescription for sure. I can't tell you how wonderful and vital her care and support for me has been. I am 6 weeks postpardom writing this, so I can confidently say she is fantastic every step of the way. I love that she never rushes you, or minds you asking questions. I am a first time mom, so I have had a lot of them-more than I thought I ever would. She has been there to answer them and to reassure me, well beyond birth. Its been such a giant relief to have someone professional to go to with things versus making a million doctor appointments just to have a question answered that's causing great concern now. No waiting and stressing, she's made herself available to me-being just a call or text away. I'm so grateful. I also appreciate that Katie doesn't make herself out to be a guru of all things, she has lots of resources and connections for anything in which she is not an expert. I've had issues arise here and there and she's not left me hanging, she's been sure to refer me to the appropriate help and doesn't get offended if they aren't working out the way you needed them to be. She was literally perfect throughout all of labor, and I had what I consider a rough labor at 30+ hours of back labor and hours of pushing. Hands off when she needed to be and hands-on when I needed her to be - Katie was the perfect balance. Both my hubby and I were very impressed. Throughout everything she's been consistent in giving me her balanced perspective and offering the freedom I need to make a decision. Also, one of the reasons we chose Katie is that she is unique as a midwife because of her experience and education. Remembering Katie was an RN in the NICU and has ample midwife certifications, often put us at ease knowing she has varied experience and a balance of perspective. Katie is well worth her weight in gold and much more (she should really charge way more for her services)! Just make sure you contact her early enough, she only takes on so many at a time! Also, when first meeting her, don't make the same mistake I almost made by taking her quietness for lack of confidence/competence. You won't regret having Katie on your side; I consider Katie an essential part of my experience. I can adamantly and repeatedly say I would NOT want to know what it would've been like without her.

I cannot recommend Katie enough. She was always there to answer any questions I had during my…read morepregnancy, no matter how big or small. When I had a small prelabor scare in my second trimester she responded quickly and made sure to follow up with me the next morning after it passed. She was very supportive but let me take the lead when labor began. Once she arrived they set up quickly and she held my hand through contractions when everyone else was busy. She was a calm and motivating energy through the entire thing. Her postpartum follow up was amazing and she didn't leave until she was sure everything had been taken care of and we were all comfortable. She even filed the paperwork for my daughter's SS card and birth certificate. She was also able to help me with some minor breastfeeding issues the first few weeks. If I ever have another child I would choose her as my care provider without a second thought.

My home birth was respected well cared and beautiful. Thank you Zulgeil!

I could not have asked for a more personable midwife. I moved to FL from NJ at 36weeks pregnant and…read morestarted prenatal care with Zul on my 37th week. From the start I felt very comfortable. I trusted her skill set and enjoyed her charisma. She helped me put together my birth team, recommended pediatricians, and even gave me the confidence to have a home birth (I'm a first time mom). I really like her holistic ideology. In a twist of events Zul wasn't able to deliver my baby due to various moms being in labor at the same time. However, her commitment to my care was unparalleled. She came after she was done delivering that baby and took over my care. It was everything I thought having a midwife would be.

My birth was everything I hoped it would be and more. I felt like I was surrounded by family when I was in labor, and that is such a comforting feeling.

I could never put into words how grateful I am to them for making my 2nd birth (and last birth) so special. Cannot recommend them enough!

I can't say enough good things about Charlie. I was planning my second home birth when I found out…read moremy baby had some health concerns and would need to be born in a hospital. I started calling home birth midwives for doula referrals, and I was so lucky to connect with Charlie. She truly brought a piece of the home birth experience into the hospital room. Charlie was a fierce advocate, not only for me, but also an incredible source of support for my husband. She brought a sense of peace and calm to what felt like a very unknown and overwhelming situation. I felt completely safe with her by my side. Charlie helped us talk through every decision, making sure we felt informed and confident in our choices. Her support didn't end after the birth either, she consistently checked in postpartum and continued to care for our whole family. I truly can't recommend Charlie enough. She is an amazing, steady, and calming presence. Whether you're planning a home birth or just looking for strong, compassionate birth support, you are in the very best hands with Charlie. Her care extends beyond just mom, she supports the entire family.

I'm currently in the process of taking Barefoot Birth to court for money I prepaid for their…read moreservices. I made a prepayment before 36 weeks and it is not being returned. I informed them I would be transferring care at 32 weeks. I told the owner that I would pay for any prenatal appointments I went to, but she made a bill with fees I was not aware of. My invoice was the exact amount I prepaid which is very suspicious. The invoice even said my $500 deposit was a charge for some reason instead of applied to my balance like the contract states. The invoice seemed to be made in a rush and its purpose to zero out my account so they could keep my money. I will add my entire experience after court. In the meantime, if you choose this midwifery, ask them to outline their fees and what you owe after every appointment to avoid this. Overall disappointed with Charlie's (owner) handling of this issue.

I almost lost my daughter because of her. She also committed insurance fraud and stole thousands of dollars that my husband worked so hard for. There's so many things that she's done to me I could write a book. She knew from the start she planned on scamming me, so once I had a failed homebirth and emergency C-section.. she completely ghosted me for my postpartum care and kept my $3,000. She lied for months acting like she was working with my insurance to get paid so I could get my refund while the entire time it was a lie because she was never in network. Despite the messages, emails, voicemails, 2 way calls with her and my insurance... Sizzly finally got fed up with me not giving up and told my insurance I knew all along that she was never in network that I actually still owe HER money!! I would have never chose her as my midwife if I knew she was out of network. I have messages showing she confirmed she took my insurance. Changing your last name wont hide the truth Sizzly. You are a dishonest dangerous person. You will get shut down sooner than you know. I was working with a reporter about Sizzly and she told me that Sizzly wasn't insured and got away with it by filing an exemption that she doesn't practice in the state of Florida. That's why the infant she permanently paralyzed will never receive their 12million dollars they won. Like i said before STAY AWAY.
