Where to begin?! We moved to Austin from Arizona, and within about six months of being here, got…read morepregnant with our second child. We had an amazing home birth team in Phoenix, so our expectations were really high for the type of care and knowledge we wanted in our Midwife. Being new to Austin meant we didn't have a large network of people to ask for references, so I researched online, read reviews and looked through credentials. I knew very quickly I wanted to work with Christy and Jenni. I had an extremely difficult pregnancy, although I was also sick the entirety of my first as well. I had hyperemesis gravidarum, meaning I was throwing up constantly, losing weight, and unable to keep down hardly anything. Christy has a huge wealth of knowledge and practices functional medicine alongside traditional options. I was always given information of references for alternative therapies to help my nausea. They were always helping me manage my sickness and we worked closely with a perinatal MD for any tests or services Christy couldn't provide herself. I had incredible care throughout my pregnancy and can't stress enough how great a resource Christy was for every ailment. Our birth experience was awesome! It only lasted an hour and a half (sooo fast!) but it was in the middle of the night with a birth tub. Our baby was born in a state of shock, partially because of how quickly everything progressed, and had a little trouble breathing. Christy knew what to do immediately and got her breathing and feeding perfectly in no time. The postpartum care we received was incredible. I had pelvic floor issues and our baby had some skin issues and Christy and Jenni were always available to answer questions and connect us with a provider that could help if it was outside their realm. Truly, we can't say enough about our experience and this team of women! They are wonderful and you and your baby will be in great hands.

Finding Jenni and Christy was like winning the lottery. I literally can't put into words how…read moreamazing these two women are...and how positively they have impacted my (and my family's) life. They are just. The best. Jenni and Christy helped my wife and I through two births, and unfortunately a few miscarriages. We first met them while interviewing for a midwife back in 2015. We interviewed a few other people around town, but instantly clicked with Jenni and Christy. They are warm, responsive, realistic and the best part - they really care about you, your pregnancy and your experience. Our meetings were sometimes long - filled with laughter in addition to medical explanations of my changing body. They took a few minutes each time to do the medical stuff, blood pressure/pee test/feel for baby...but then, the rest of the time they just wanted to know how I was feeling. I miss them. When my birth came around, Jenni was my rock. She is kind and gentle - her presence during the chaos of birth was invaluable. She kept me calm, centered and most of all, feeling safe through 8 hours of active labor and a 3 hours of pushing. My kiddo didn't want to come out, but they literally pulled out a bag of tricks: peanut yoga balls, weird positions, ropes to pull on and things to rest my legs on. They kept my spirits up, even when in those moments of wanting to give up. And, with their help I birthed a healthy little girl in the comfort of my home. It was amazing. Women are amazing. Now I'm crying. I can't recommend these MotherBloom midwifery enough. They taught me about the power of being a woman - and I know that I am a better mother because of my experience with them as my midwives. They really are, the best. I heart them so much!

Then I had to explain how sexual violence works because she basically implied it's my fault men have sa'd me, and I got very upset. She spoke to me like I was a child. I felt so humiliated. Don't go here if you have a trauma history or if you are not white. At your own risk.

I had an appointment here a while ago, but I felt compelled today to share my experience so that…read morehopefully other women can avoid this situation. Dr. Blaue is quite possibly the worst doctor I've ever seen, and I left my appointment with him feeling humiliated. I was on the verge of tears by the time I left the office. I had a cyst on my ovary rupture about a week before my appointment here, and had the rupture confirmed by an ER doc the day it happened. They referred me to this office for a checkup afterwards. Dr. Blaue not only denied the ER doc's diagnosis (for which there was an ultrasound and my own pain to back up), but he told me that the cyst only existed in the first place because I am fat. I don't deny that could be a factor, but he provided no treatment or further exploration of the issue besides "lose weight." When I asked about birth control (the implant), he said I was too fat and it wouldn't work on me and then dismissed me. A GP later told me there was no evidence the implant doesn't work for fat women, a fact I confirmed with research. He was extremely dismissive, cold and even cruel. I didn't even feel human. I understand being fat is a health risk, but I still deserve to be treated with respect. This experience was so traumatic I still haven't gotten a real exam to monitor my cysts. Please avoid this doctor, especially if you are overweight.

Top-Tier Experience! Worth Every Penny! This was the most pleasant and amazing experience I have…read moreever had. From the moment I found Texas Placenta Service, everything was seamless. The instructions on how and what to prepare were incredibly detailed, making it impossible to mess anything up. The shipping and delivery process of the box and pills was flawless.To give some context: I had my son two and a half years ago at age 38. I did not encapsulate my placenta back then, and I suffered from severe postpartum depression.Fast forward to now: I am 40 and decided to try placenta encapsulation for this birth. It was truly the best decision ever! I am almost two months postpartum and have had absolutely no signs of postpartum depression. On day one, I took five capsules, which gave me an incredible rush of energy. By week two, while taking three capsules daily, I felt like my usual "happy-go-lucky" self. I have experienced no mood swings, no depression, no random crying, and no anxiety.I cannot recommend Texas Placenta Service enough. She provided exceptional service, communicated consistently, and answered every single question I had. It was worth every single penny. I am even having my last few capsules made into a tincture so the benefits will last me a bit longer. If I could, I would give this business 1,000,000 stars!
