They left it up to me whether or not I wanted to try for a VBAC, they are very supportive of whatever choices you make. They did seem to try to push the genetic testing with my third daughter but since I was low risk I decided it wasn't a big deal, especially since I had trouble with my insurance. They worked with me as much as possible until I got it sorted out, changed my appointments and sonogram date so I didn't have to pay out of pocket while I was waiting on the insurance to go through. They're always professional, no matter what type of embarrassing stuff would come up they always put me at ease. They let me bring my two older daughters in to appointments to listen to the heartbeat and talk about the baby. They're really amazing and so nice. Never try to push you out of your comfort zone,

"Practically perfect in every way." Little else can be said to accurately sum up my experience…read morewith Katie O'Day and Rebecca Price-Wood of Sacred Transitions Midwifery, yet I still have so much to add! Endowed with compassion and supremely skilled, Katie and Rebecca seamlessly blend the art of classical midwifery with the science of modern obstetrics to create a model of care that is awesome to behold. Their personalities complement each other beautifully, and they each breathe a unique air into their shared practice. Prenatal appointments are comprehensive yet relaxed, and postpartum care is exceptional, like nothing else I have experienced (and this was my fourth pregnancy and third homebirth!) Katie and Rebecca will treat you with compassion; your time and journey will truly be held as sacred while you are in their care. You will be respected. You will be heard. You will be enlightened, empowered, educated. Dare I say, you will be loved. For my fourth pregnancy I sought out Katie at the recommendation of my former midwife who had retired. I was nervous about having to find a new midwife after having such amazing previous experiences, and assumed that the odds of finding the "perfect" midwife for a second time were slim. One meeting with Katie was enough to assuage those fears, as it was clear to both my husband and me that she was compassionate, competent, and skilled. We trusted her immediately and we always felt safe and confident under her care. Rebecca joined Katie's practice late in my pregnancy, at about 36 weeks. I am generally very quiet and take a while to open up to people, but Rebecca immediately drew me out of my shell and I was chatting with her like I had known her for years. In addition, she was clearly as knowledgeable and passionate about her craft as Katie, and I was so thrilled to now have two amazing midwives directing my care! When they twice detected concerns with baby's heart rate late in my pregnancy, they humbly suggested that I visit the hospital for fetal monitoring to be sure there were not more serious concerns - it was easy to trust their judgement; I was not pressured to agree, and I was still in control of my choices. (On one such occasion, Katie even went above and beyond by driving me to the hospital and staying with me during fetal monitoring when I had no one else to available to go with me.) When labor day came, Rebecca arrived at my door first, with a smile, and was an incredibly intuitive labor coach, while Katie assumed the role of doula and assisted with pain management. They were such a great team! They seemed to know exactly what I needed at any given moment and made sure that I was taken care of so that I could focus on labor. I was confident that they were in control of the details, while I simultaneously maintained my autonomy. When my baby experienced shoulder dystocia, they handled it with such poise and skill that I was barely aware that something was amiss until after my daughter was safely in my arms. Postpartum was stellar! In addition to an extended window of care and more visits than the contemporary status quo, Katie is certified in "Mother Roasting," which combines traditional postpartum healing practices from around the globe to aid in recovery and transition you gently into motherhood. It was truly an honor to experience postpartum in this way; I felt so incredibly valued and was encouraged to take my time to heal. It was my most stable and successful postpartum period of all four of my children, and I know it was a direct result of Katie's extra-special attention and care. To top it all off, they even offer continuing well-woman services! They take a kinder, gentler approach to the necessary routine feminine checks, and are sure to address the full scope of your health. It is almost a year to the day since I gave birth, and I still think upon my experience with Katie and Rebecca often, and always with fondness. I have recommended them to others and will continue to do so for as long as they willing to offer their indispensable services to our community. My only regret is that this was likely the last baby for our family, and I will not have occasion to work with them again.

Unfortunately I had to end my services with her because I felt she couldn't separate her career from her personal political views. In the beginning it didn't bother me but then it was affecting my mental wellbeing. If your views didn't align with hers she would treat you differently purposely. I guess she felt her views were the only correct views. I hope one day she sees how she is alienating so many women who are sick and need help.

I've spent the last decade doing 'the work' whatever exactly that means... counseling, therapy,…read morejournaling, breakthroughs, aha moments, questioning reality, frustrations... all of it. And while that work absolutely changed my life in a profound way, I hit a wall about five years ago. A frustrating one. Because no matter how much I processed or understood, my body still held it. The body really does keep the score. Even after understanding my brain, my nervous system, I still believed I could out-think it. I figured if I just did enough mindset work, I could 'fix it'. Oh sweet girl... if only. This is why growth is not linear. It is not perfect. It is like an onion. Oh me oh my- the layers! This past September, I was taking meds multiple times a week for headaches, invested in a mouth guard thinking maybe I was grinding my teeth, questioning all that could be 'wrong' or fixable and still--my hips were locked, my jaw ached, my temples throbbed, and my neck felt like it was fused. That's when I found Melissa. And the rest is history. We've been working together consistently since then - weekly to start, then bi-weekly, and she's truly been one of the greatest gifts in my life this past year. Her ability to read what my body needs--especially when I don't have the words--is unreal. It's hard to explain how deeply grateful I am for the safe space she creates, the insight she offers, and the way she helps me unlock what I didn't even realize I was holding. Since working with her, I've gone from taking meds for tension headaches multiple times a week sometimes daily - my husband teasing with concern that I was addicted to extra strength tylenol. Now I might get a headache maybe once a month. And when I do, it's mostly cycle-related, not constant pressure and pain and ache. I was blaming blue light and screens, and there was wayyy more going on there than I realized. Deep rooted tension and healing. This work with Melissa is trickling into every part of my life, all arenas. And while she always takes the time to talk with me - before and after my session, conversation I look so forward to every visit as she always holds space for the mental side... it's the bodywork that was the next level I needed. As much as we want to "think" our way through what the body remembers... sometimes one modality isn't enough. You are worthy of exploring what feels aligned for you. Whether that's breathwork, somatic work, massage therapy, or something else entirely--try. Get curious. There is no one like Melissa - and I've had my fair share of massages prior to finding her. I'm deeply grateful I found her when I did - all just because a simple search by location brought me to her webpage. Your body has been holding a lot. It's time to help it let go. I hope you'll give yourself permission to reach out to Melissa. It is for certain one of the best decisions I've ever made.
