  • “Mary was amazing! Truly amazing! She is compassionate, encouraging, uplifting, professional and devoted to making your birthing experience the best experience that it can possibly be.”

    -Katy

  • "Kerry was absolutely worth her weight in gold, and I can't imagine going through another childbirth without her now. She provided so much helpful information long before I went into labor, and really helped demystify much of the birthing and labor process. She was all around just incredibly supportive and encouraging."

    -Kelly

  • "Julia has a sweet and intuitive nature to her that puts me at ease while practicing - I know I am safe and guided when sharing a space with her (whether it's virtual or in person!). I admire how she makes sure everyone is comfortable and accounted for in her sessions, and how it's always integrated around lunar cycles - something that is so essential & natural to my way of life."

    -Rachel

  • "She greeted every bit of progress with contagious enthusiasm and positivity and when labor finally started she was right there with us, fully focused and prepared. She was calm, reassuring and optimistic through every little complication we encountered. She was a vocal and enthusiastic coach during the pushing phase. I couldn't imagine having gone through any of it without her."

    -Grace
