TENDER BEGINNINGS REVIEWS
Mary Anne and her team were so wonderful to work with. All through my pregnancy I felt informed and cared for. Throughout my labor Mary Anne and her team were very hands on and encouraging. They supported my husband and I every step of the way. If you are interested in having a home birth I would highly recommend Mary Anne and her team at Tender Beginnings!
I had a successful birth experience with Mary Anne and her staff. The prenatal care was very thorough. The labor and delivery process were fully supported and flawless. Mary Anne operates on a highly efficient medical grade model. If you are in between on your decision for a hospital or home birth then this is the place for you. I was well taken care of and I am grateful for Mary Anne and her staff on my delivery day.
My experience with Mary Anne and the Tender Beginnings Birth Services team was outstanding. Mary Anne and her assistants are extremely knowledgable, caring, and highly skilled in their work. I felt supported throughout my pregnancy and in labor. I enjoyed my prenatal visits with this team - it felt like visiting friends at each checkup.

NOVA BIRTH SERVICES REVIEWS
My experience with Jen at Nova has been a dream come true. I experienced a beautiful and redeeming birth for my third baby after two high intervention hospital births. Jen is extremely knowledgeable and talented. I felt cared for on not just a physical level, but also emotionally and spiritually. This is top notch maternity care, and I wish every woman could experience this!
Everyone at Nova is amazing. From the midwives to the doulas, class instructors and receptionists, everyone was so wonderful and kind. We had such a amazing birth experience because of our team and the difference they made. Our midwife, Brittany was fantastic. She was so kind, gentle and calm. There was nothing straightforward about my pregnancy and she helped us navigate through it was such wisdom, peace, and optimism. I’m so thankful for her! I would’ve lost my mind if she wasn’t there assure us and to be our rock. Our doula, Natalie was a lifesaver. She prayed for me and spoke life into my soul during very intense contractions. She helped my husband play the perfect supportive role and took over many times (through the 12hr labor) so he could rest. Our perfect, healthy girl was born peacefully and respectfully- trauma free! I’m so glad we decided to work with Nova. Thank you all!
We recently had Staci from Nova as our postpartum doula and she was absolutely fantastic. She was so helpful for our family and was always anticipating my needs before I could even ask her for help. She really went above and beyond every shift to make sure I was well cared for, napping eating and my household was orderly. I have been able to recover well after birth because of her support, she is a kind, compassionate doula and if you are considering hiring someone please go with Staci, she will support you in all the ways you will need during those critical few weeks after giving birth!

VANDERBILT BIRTH CENTER REVIEWS
Best healthcare experience of my life! I switched to the Birth Center at 26 weeks because I found the lack of evidence-based care and excessive intervention in the hospital setting frustrating (especially as an economist). Thanks to the wisdom and quick thinking of the midwives, we ended up having a wonderful birth and postpartum experience. Would that every city had a birth center like this!
Being a certified birth doula, I want to make sure my clients have a safe, comfortable place to labor. This place gives them the feeling of being at home with nurse midwives who are just up the street from the hospital in case there ever were a medical emergency. I love working with all of the midwives. They make both me and my clients feel welcomed each and every time. Thank you for always providing some of the best holistic care and for making us feel like family!
I have been nothing but impressed with the birth center communication that I've received over the last year from several staff members. Today though, I went for my first in-person visit and the care was thorough and compassionate.
