Natural Birth Testimonials…
“You inspire us to be concerned and courageous parents, you withstood ear-piercing labor cries to allow the birth process to go exactly as it was meant to be. You knew when to speak, and when to sit still….when to step back and when to gently jump in. You brought her heartbeat to our ears and her breath to our cheeks.” ~ Margaret, 1st time mom
“I was trained as a general surgeon and flight surgeon and practiced family medicine for 20 years. I did several c-sections and many deliveries. I was very impressed with your care and delivery of my grandson because it was much more than I gave. My daughter was in her home setting; she delivered in the water in a sitting position, your repair of a small tear was excellent, your examination of the baby was so thorough, and you made several visits following the delivery to check on the health of baby and mother. I recommend your care and judgment unequivocally.”
~ A.G. Denker MD, a grandfather

“Contractions- how amazing they were, the stronger they got the more powerful I felt. I felt I was not alone in my body. With every contraction it felt like a huge source of energy entered my body opened my cervix and left again to let me rest- like a wave.” ~ Tarah, mother of 2
“My greatest joy- seeing my baby on my chest and holding her and noticing her huge chubby cheeks. You get so involved in labor that you forget what the result will be and when she is there in my arms and my husband is crying and stroking her hair- it’s wonderful!” ~ April, 1st time mom
“The experience really has nothing to do with the imagination and everything to do with the experience of it – living in the moment of the birth experience.” ~ Kristen, 1st time mom
“Thank you so much for everything over the past 8 months, but particularly in believing that I could do it all at home without repeat of my last labor and delivery experience. Throughout my pregnancy I really appreciated your approach to everything, you really focused on making it all happen with as little intervention as possible. I always felt so confident in you abilities and opinions.”
