kind words

“From the very beginning, Christy and Shari made us feel completely supported, informed, and cared for. As this was our second birth, we had a clear sense of what we wanted, and they honored that with so much patience, knowledge, and respect. Every question was answered thoughtfully, every concern was met with reassurance, and we always felt like we were in the most capable hands.

When I was in labor, the way Christy and Shari showed up for us was nothing short of extraordinary. Their presence was calming and grounding, and I truly felt like I had family in the room with me. They knew exactly when to guide, when to encourage, and when to simply be there — steady, compassionate, and deeply caring. Having Christy lay next to me and hold my hand as I neared the final moments of labor is a core memory for me and one I will cherish forever. 

We are endlessly grateful for the role they played in such a meaningful moment in our lives. Christy and Shari are not only exceptional midwives, but genuinely wonderful humans. We couldn’t have asked for a more supportive, empowering birth experience.”
