    I need to put out there that I DO NOT recommend Lunaria Birth & Wellness. I started with them…read morearound August 2021 when I was pregnant. Communication was difficult, but I always give the benefit of the doubt. I had to go to MFM to get a dating ultrasound, and it took 2 weeks to even get them to properly send the fax report. In fact, I believe they ended up calling in the referral. I didn't have anything else with them until my 12 week appointment, as that is usually when midwifery care starts. My 12 week appointment they took blood (that I never received results from and still do not know what they collected) and sent me on my way. I lost the baby before my next appointment. That is a whole other story, but I ended up calling my midwife while in the emergency room, and she said they were going to work on getting me into the hospital they work with. I never heard from them. I advocated for myself in the emergency room (the second time in there) and ended up having a D&E. I was told that they would have a bereavement doula reach out. I was told that they would send me an email that has an explanation of fertility appointments that I can take advantage of. Nothing, I got nothing. I had an appointment set for 18 weeks-ish. No one called me to tell me it was cancelled so I assumed we kept it to talk about next steps. I arrived and No one was there. They told me they took me off of the schedule because they didn't know if I would still be in the hospital or not. Okay. That's fine. Again, I really try to give the benefit of the doubt. At this point, I have paid my deposit AND they took a payment while I was recovering from my surgery. So they have a little over $2k from me. Time went on, I had a few chemical pregnancies. I called to ask if I could get a referral for an ultrasound to make sure everything was okay. It took a lot of calling back and forth, including me mitigating with MFM, who ultimately wouldn't take me because I wasn't pregnant. They sent me to a third party, who was really sweet, and she said results will be in Monday (4/11). Monday came and went, I never heard from Lunaria. I called the next week, thinking maybe they were just busy; and was told they would email me the results. I never got the results. I called again a week later, was told they should be in my email and that they will send them again. Once again, I did not get them. I called one last time, at the end of May, over a month from when I had the ultrasound. They finally read me the results over the phone and sent them to me via email. They told me I had an 8 cm cyst. That I may have to go in and have it removed. That a doctor may make me have a hysterectomy. She said she would get back with me two days later. She never did. So I called the OB office that did my surgery and managed to get an appointment with them. They read the results I had emailed to me and told me that what I was told was a cyst was my uterus. That I do not have a cyst. I called Lunaria (6/17) after that phone call and told them that this was unfortunately the last straw for me. That I try to give grace, but this was too much. I wanted a detailed invoice, and I wanted a refund. I was told that the head midwife was in Dubai and wouldn't be back until the following week. I called (6/22) and was told she was back but was jetlagged. Okay. Understandable. I called the next day (6/23) and was told that she was working on it right now and will get it to me. I didn't receive anything so I called the next day (6/24) and was told they are working on it but I need to give them a day or two. It was Friday, so I called today, Monday. This time, I was told their birthing center roof fell in so they were having to work from home. But that she was working on it. I told her I wanted a call from the head midwife. I have not heard anything yet. At this point, I am not sure what is taking so long. I had one actual appointment with them. I had a couple back and forth phone calls that amounted to nothing. I will not be using them again, and, as nice as the people are, I unfortunately do not recommend them. I'm hoping to get an invoice soon, but if not, I will be asking for them to refund everything.

    Being a new mom, I figured out quickly that I needed assistance when my husband went back to work…read more Everyone always recommends asking for help if you need it. However, I asked for help and feel as though I was failed. I reached out to Blooming Tree after becoming desperate regarding postpartum doula services. I spoke with Calli via email. She indicated that she would call me later that evening regarding scheduling, due to having availability the following week. I sat around that evening waiting for that call, and it never happened. I did not receive an email, text, call or anything regarding rescheduling. My husband reached out the following day, and we did not receive a response that day either. So, we didn't bother following back up and chose an agency that displayed excellent communication and reliability.

I've always delivered naturally without any medications or medical interventions. If you plan to go this route I highly recommend investing in a doula. My labor and delivery went amazing with no complications. Kenzie worked with me through my contractions, massaging and giving words of encouragement. Anita helped move me in positions to help me progress faster. She uses this peanut ball, which I have a love/hate relationship with. We labored together at my house for about three hours. Then we went to the hospital. I arrived there at 8cm, Anita again put me on my side on the peanut ball. I went from an 8 to a 10 in 20 minutes. I pushed my 7lb daughter out in two pushes. I've delivered five children without medications, three of those I used doulas. They were the absolute best experiences I have ever had and am so blessed that someone like Anita and Kenzie have the skills and knowledge to help guide me during the wonderful birth of my daughter Gretchen!

    I truly don't think I'll ever be able to put into words what Ashley meant to me during the birth of…read moremy son, but I'll try. From the very beginning, she was exactly what I needed. She was straightforward, honest, calm, and somehow matched my personality, my humor, and my birth plan perfectly. She never sugarcoated anything, but she also never made me feel afraid. She simply made me feel safe. She came to my home and let me labor like a lion. While I was internally thinking, "Holy shit... what is happening?" she sat there with this calm confidence that said, "Yep. This is normal. Keep going." Her confidence became my confidence. Knowing that everything unfolding was exactly what she expected allowed me to stop spiraling and return to the work of labor. My labor wasn't straightforward. My baby was asynclitic, and transition was incredibly difficult. Ashley carried me through one of the hardest experiences of my life. She patiently guided me through what felt like every position imaginable to help my baby rotate and descend. Every step of the way, she kept me informed. She explained what was happening, what our options were, and what might come next. Most importantly, because both my baby and I were stable and his heart rate remained reassuring, she gave me the space to keep trying safely. After hours of what felt like completely unproductive pushing, I was convinced I wasn't making any progress. Ashley knew better. She knew every push mattered, even when I couldn't see it. She gave me the room to find my own rhythm and discover my own strength, and the moment I asked for help, she stepped in with exactly the support I needed. The attention and intention behind every word, every touch, every decision, and every movement were unmatched. I never felt managed--I felt cared for. The moments I remember most are, "I can't. I will. I did." And honestly, what surprised me most wasn't just the birth itself--it was everything afterward. The postpartum care through My Haven was extraordinary. In those first days, I genuinely felt like I was Ashley's only patient. I felt seen, prioritized, checked on, and cared for during one of the biggest transitions of my life. My son turns one this weekend, and I still think about Ashley all the time. I'm just now finding the words for a proper review. She will forever be one of the people who changed my life. To me, she'll always be a little bit of an angel. If you're considering Haven Midwifery, know that you're not just choosing prenatal care or a birth provider. You're choosing someone who will believe in you, protect your autonomy, keep you informed, and quietly remind you that you're capable of far more than you think.

    Better late than never. Ashley and her team helped bring our baby boy earth side back in January of…read morethis year. We found Haven Birth and Wellness while searching for nearby Birth Centers on Google. We live in Llano and wanted something as close to home as possible. I had met with an obgyn as well, but knew immediately that I wanted to stick with Ashley and her team. The birth center itself feels like a cozy comfortable home. Everyone that works there is warm and welcoming. We felt heard every appointment we went to. Ashley spends every last minute of the appointment making sure you and your partner have all your questions and concerns answered. You will never leave an appointment feeling lost, confused, or worried. The chiropractic care they offer at the center is unmatched! Summer provided chiropractic care for me during my pregnancy, postpartum, and our baby went to a few sessions as well. She is by far the best chiropractor I have been to.  This was my first birth and we chose to do a home birth. Ashley and her team do a home visit leading up to the birth and provide you with a tub if you request one. They bring everything they need, minus some extra potential essentials like bedding, towels etc. I felt incredibly safe with Ashley and her assistant Midwife there every step of the way. They monitor Mama and baby closely the whole time, during the entire labor process and after labor. They will be exactly what you need them to be during your birth. Ashley handled my labor calm and collected, and knows exactly how to handle any situation that might arise. She did not leave my side for hours after the birth making sure everything was good before leaving. If you think that you want a home birth or birth center for your birth experience, make an appointment with Ashley and her team today, and you'll know immediately it's the right choice. Thank you Ashley for helping bring baby Hondo into this world! We are so grateful for the experience you provided for us.

    Sasha is EVERYTHING a fabulous midwife should be!…read more She is so sweet, so caring, so calm and so very reassuring. I was instantly comfortable with her and knew she was the perfect choice. Her motto for most things is "Yay"!! (Morning Sickness= Yay!, Ultrasound= Yay!, Baby's Heartbeat= Yay!, Braxton-Hicks=Yay!, Mucus Plug= Yay! Contractions=Yay!, Time to Push= Yay!) It's hard not to have a great pregnancy and birth with all her joy and positive energy around. She made house calls when I need her and she was very flexible with appointment times. Sasha was also on call 24/7 and I could reach her anytime of day or night to answer even the silliest of questions. Her rates are extremely reasonable for the quality of care (and love!) you get from Sasha. She was even very flexible with payment arrangements, which we greatly appreciated. We were also able to rent a birthing tub from her at a really great price as well. Prenatal visits were so much fun, they felt more like a visit with a friend than a medical appointment. The birth of my daughter was absolutely amazing and surprisingly serene thanks to Sasha and her equally wonderful assistant Summer. Afterwards they cleaned the house spotlessly and made it perfectly clean and cozy for the new baby. She made house calls for all of the baby's appointments up to 2 months, which was wonderful for me and the baby. Sasha instilled me and husband with an amazing sense of confidence and ensured that I had a stress-free pregnancy and birth. Even though it's been almost a year since the baby was born, Sasha is still one of my favorite people in all the world and we still stay in touch. Sasha is so great, I can't wait to have another baby just so we could hire her again! ;) Thank you so Sasha, you made the greatest time of my life EVEN BETTER.

    Dear Sandra, From…read morethe bottom of our hearts, thank you for being such a profound and cherished part of our family's journey. You have been by our side through the birth of all three of our precious babies, and your unwavering support, gentle guidance, and warm spirit have meant more to us than words can express. You were there in our most vulnerable and powerful moments--holding space, offering strength, and helping us welcome our three babies into the world with calm, confidence, and love. Because of you, we were able to experience the kind of births we had only dreamed of. You gave us the gift of peace in those sacred first moments, and that is something we will carry with us always. You've witnessed our family grow, and in many ways, you've helped shape the beginning of each of our children's stories. That makes you part of our story too--and you will always hold a special place in our hearts. We are forever grateful for you and hope to stay connected in the years to come.

    My original review still stands but I have learned a lot since my first baby was born and I…read moreseriously can't emphasize enough that I would not recommend this center to anyone that I care about. After talking to multiple different mothers, medical professionals, dulas, and midwives I have realized that my experience was even worse than I originally thought before I had anything to compare it to. My experience was so awful that it isn't even about the money, but that was definitely wasted too. Again, after talking with other mothers, doctors and midwives, I feel that I was extremely cheated in many ways. My biggest mistake was not changing care providers along the way when I was seeing several red flags...I made so many excuses for my negative experiences. Not counting myself I had 3 people unaffiliated with Sandra at my birth for support, all of whom did not have great things to report about her once I was recovered and able to process the experience. Sandra's center is an unorganized mess (clean in terms for filth but not clutter) and was during my entire pregnancy. Her personal organization of medical equipment and files is a mess. Her "resources" are a mess. Her website is poor and outdated. She lacks a lot of common sense and the ability to think critically. Her bedside manner is awful and she has no respect for any opinions or lifestyles that she does not personally agree with. She also has a serious inability to accept any personal accountability which is probably my single biggest issue when it comes down to it. There are no good reviews in the recent years-all of "her" best reviews were when she was at a different location and with a partner, hmmm, wonder why that is. I want to be clear that I am not speaking for any of Sandra's students as they are just trying to learn, independent of her, and were not the problem. I am also not speaking for any of the independent business or individuals that she works with/recommends. My issues are all with Sandra herself. She should not be running her own practice. Now I also want to be clear that I do not think she is an awful person, and maybe in the past it was different, but for whatever the reason where she currently stands is a quick to judge, short tempered, slow to think and adapt, inconsiderate, extremely unorganized, probably overstretched, and out of date with modern resources person, let alone as a midwife running a full time practice.
