She makes me feel empowered, loved, cared about & she is so great at her job! She is like a therapist through our sessions, I always come out of the appt feeling way better than when I went in. We focus a lot on my diet and supplements to make sure baby is getting everything he needs. I wish I could give her 10/5 stars because she is fantastic!! I recommend her to everyone of my pregnant friends. I am so excited to give birth at her birthing center!

Things were going good to begin with but she soon started to dismiss some concerns I had. When I felt uncomfortable to proceed any further with her we transferred to another Ob and thats when the problems really started. She had 0 medical records for me and to this day we have still never seen any medical records. She lost payments that I needed to provide records of myself and thankfully we were able to recoup some of our money but it took months. She consistently didn't respond to email or phone calls and had an excuses each time as to why she couldn't get back to us. She also failed to provide a supper receipt for us to bill insurance and I tried for over a year to get that. Unfortunately it was never provided so we were never able to submit to insurance or recoup that back. I think things would have been ok if I had developed medical conditions but unfortunately it did and we discovered the unprofessional side of the business. Just something to consider when looking into midwifery care.

LaMonica is the best in the business, hands down!…read more I'm an overprotective and overly-critical perfectionist, and this was our first non-hospital birth experience. So finding the right midwife to trust with the birth of our child was going to be a challenge any way you look at it. After interviewing multiple midwives, it was not a difficult decision to choose LaMonica. She has a profound amount of knowledge and experience (vastly more than anyone else we spoke with) and has dealt with just about every kind of situation a delivering couple can experience. LaMonica is caring and pleasant and really makes the whole experience very comfortable and relaxed. We very quickly felt as though we were in the capable hands of a good friend who also happened to be a qualified professional! She did an amazing job with the prenatal care, delivery, and post-natal care, knowing when to give us space and when to step in and guide us. I could not have hoped for a better experience! We are so grateful and thrilled to have connected with such a wonderful person! If more children are in our future, we will not go to anyone else but LaMonica!

LaMonica has assisted me with the births of three of my babies: the first as a doula, the second a…read moresuccessful home water birth, and the third a transfer to the hospital after a planned homebirth. Before I met LaMonica, I had previously had a child via emergency c-section due to being breech and going into distress after a failed ECV. LaMonica was wonderful and incredibly supportive. She cared for me throughout my pregnancies, respected my level of comfort surrounding risk, and understood my fears and anxieties after my first traumatic birth. She helped me and my husband to have the confidence that God created birth as a natural process and he would see us through it. My first home birth was perfect in every way. My second, the transfer to the hospital, I'm convinced would have been born in our driveway had we not planned a homebirth. His birth was precipitous (very fast) and LaMonica recognized right away that he wasn't doing well during contractions and recommended a transfer to the local hospital. She called ahead so that they were expecting me, and had my OB there within minutes. She also stayed with us throughout the birth to support me and my husband. Though it wasn't as we had planned, it was still wonderful. Since I'm no longer having babies, LaMonica has continued to be there whenever I have a question about my cycle, perimenopause, or about my daughter's questions or problems as well. We love her so much!

Yes! Denise, Gail, and Lisa have created a full-service midwifery and birth center in Sandpoint,…read moresomething that is undoubtedly the envy of many nearby towns. They offer well woman care as well as full prenatal, birth, and postnatal care in the comfort of a beautifully renovated craftsman bungalow in the heart of Sandpoint. The birth center, which is upstairs in the same building, is simply gorgeous and perfect for anyone who wants a homebirth setting with the convenience of having the hospital nearby. The birth of our second child at our home outside of Sandpoint was peaceful, joyous, and fearless. I credit this in no small part to Denise and Lisa's presence and the utter competence and love with which they performed their services. Had we needed to transfer to the hospital, which fortunately wasn't the case, I trusted that Denise's preexisting relationship with the doctors and nurses there would have ensured a smooth transition and respectful treatment. Pend Oreille Midwifery is a jewel and Sandpoint is very blessed to have it. I know that we'll be going there first with any and all future babies.

I would encourage anyone looking to have a midwife, to absolutely see Denise and Rachel at Pend Oreille Midwifery!!

I could not say anything better about these midwives. My wife's first birth was at a midwife…read morecenter in Boise and it was horrible. Spokane river midwives was a COMPLETELY different experience. They were extremely respectful of our decisions and gave us all the info we needed to make the right decisions. Our first baby ended up being a C-section, mostly we believe because of the midwife's mistakes. Our second baby, at Spokane River Midwives, was not an easy birth. There were other midwives who came into the center, who weren't even supposed to be working that day who ended up staying with us the whole day. My wife needed all the support she could get and they were the perfect people for it. Our main midwife Brianna stayed with us the whole 24 hours; and Kayla, who wasn't even supposed to be working, came in and stayed with us the last 12 hours. Midwives all sounds great when you meet with them, but it's when you get into a difficult labor that you find out what they're really made of. We desperately did not want to end up at the hospital getting a c-section again. Hours before the delivery I felt like there was no hope. And our previous midwife in Boise would have given up on us before that even. These women stuck it out, with unbelievable patience and stayed positive and helped my wife through the whole thing. I feel like we 100% owe the fact that we had a successful natural v-back delivery because of these women.

I always wanted to try a more natural route and am SO incredibly glad I did. Charity helped give me the confidence, support, and belief that I could do this naturally. Charity made sure all my needs were met, even the ones I didn't realize I needed, like a snack after birth and extra diapers for baby. One thing I really loved about Charity was that she did not push me to do anything I didn't want to do unlike in a hospital setting, and she provided me with all the information I needed to make an informed decision before the birth so I was able to make a choice before the new rush of hormones. Charity is so family friendly and really gets to know you one on one- she treats you like a real person and not just another patient. One of my favorite things about an appointment with Charity was that they never felt rushed, I always felt like my appointments were just as important to her as they were to me and my husband. If I was to ever have another, you bet I'd be calling Charity! It was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing.
