Mind Body Birth

I was lucky enough to have a husband who researched and brought the idea of having our first child at a birthing center. This concept was entirely new to me, but I am so happy that I went this route because I had the best experience with Faith and her team. I started my care with Faith at the beginning of my second trimester, so I was able to compare the care I experienced at the OB with her care. It was a completely personalized experience, and I felt genuinely cared about throughout the remainder of my pregnancy. Faith provided a ton of resources and walked us through what every phase of our pregnancy plus postpartum would look like so we had a clear idea of the journey ahead and felt well prepared. Every question that I had in between my appointments, I would ask via chat and their response times were prompt. The day that I had my son was beautiful. It was a serene experience where my husband and I truly had our uninterrupted golden hour and were able to have the most peaceful experience welcoming our son into the world. Faith took the best care of me the day I delivered my son, including making me a smoothie with a small piece of my placenta. My birthing experience was truly empowering, and I hope to work with Faith and her team during my future pregnancies.

I am so grateful to Faith and her team. I struggled to make the decision to pursue midwifery care and a home birth, largely because of fear and finances. Faith took ample time to talk through any and all of my concerns, worries and anxieties throughout my prenatal and postpartum care. She also generously worked out a payment plan that allowed me to access her services. I appreciated the team’s trauma sensitivity, dedication to informed consent, and holistic approach to preparing for birth. At first, I didn’t know if it was necessary to get my postpartum care through a midwife- I was so glad I did. I felt so much more empowered that I would have otherwise.

Right from the first meeting I felt absolutely comfortable and like I could be myself around Faith and her team. I had a few appointments at a hospital before meeting with them and noticed how impersonal it was. But in Faith’s office, I felt seen, heard, and safe. I loved all the personal attention, the food, healers and supplements they guided me with and the chat app was so helpful and reassuring! It was great that all my questions were addressed as quickly as a text reply! I couldn’t be more grateful to have been able to birth MY WAY: at home. I could move around, eat freely, have whomever I wanted in the room , and didn’t have to drive frantically to the hospital during labor! I have to tell you, that was one of the best parts.
