Madeline
“I was almost into my third trimester when we decided to have a homebirth. Being our first baby and not knowing what to expect, this was a difficult decision for us, particularly with homebirths still feeling taboo in modern society. Once we made our decision, I was confident in it, and it felt right to follow my gut.”
Lizzie
"I cried with her as I held her for the first time, in shock that she was actually with us after what felt like a long road of secondary infertility. I’m so proud my bright eyed little girl was born surrounded by such incredible women, practicing the oldest and most sacred job"
Erin
"My relationship with [my midwife] Marita became something I deeply treasured as bonds of trust grew. This was one of the key components that had been missing in all my previous birth experiences.”
