The team at Peaceful Birth Midwifery is absolutely incredible! I cannot imagine my birth without them! The professional level of care, love, and expertise that myself & my family experienced from these Midwives was truly exceptional and hard to put into words. I felt respected, safe, and valued at every appointment and especially during my labor & birth. Amy, Desi, and Isabel made a great team and provided excellent care to me that met all my expectations, and ultimately facilitated a priceless successful and beautiful birth experience. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a holistic, highly experienced, and deeply loving birth team. You absolutely want these ladies by your side!

Amy and Desi were incredible and I’m so grateful for their support during the birth of my third baby. I opted for a home birth with them after 2 prior c-sections. They were so supportive from the start, even with my history, and because they believed I could do it, I did too. Their encouragement made me feel so confident leading up to the birth. They were up front about the risks, but also reassured me with all the measures we could take to mitigate them. When labor started, things picked up quickly. We were on the fence about whether it was time to invite the midwives or not, but Amy assured me she was happy to check in even if it was a little early. Thank goodness she came when she did because things moved fast. My baby was showing some moderate decelerations when she listened on the monitor, so we did consider a hospital transfer. With Amy’s guidance we tried some different positions first, and he tolerated them well. We decided to stay home as long as his heart tones sounded good, and thankfully they did. Amy was verbally supportive through each contraction, and even offered some counter pressure while we waited for my doula to arrive. Because of the decelerations we observed, she recommended that I birth outside the tub. Desi arrived shortly before my baby was born. I pushed for only about 20 minutes and my baby was born in our bed, followed by the most beautiful golden hour that I never got to experience with my other births. Recovery has been amazing, both physically and emotionally, probably because of such a low-intervention, peaceful birth. I am so grateful for their expertise and quick thinking when we were faced with moments of concern. They were hands on when I needed it and hands off when I needed it. Truly I don’t think I could have been as safe and successful without their support and knowledge. I’m also grateful that they were aware of their limitations and willing to transfer if needed. A home birth may not be right for everyone, but I believe it is a beautiful and safe option for so many women, especially with midwives as knowledgeable as Amy and Desi.

I knew I wanted to work with Amy after our first meeting. Her kindness, charisma, incredible energy and especially experience and intelligence sold me! I appreciated that we also shared the same values as Christians. From day one of official care, the entire team was incredible welcoming and once again, experienced and intelligence. I always got my questions answered and felt so much confidence and support from them. Prenatal care was more than I could ask for- I never felt rushed and always felt taken care of. The birth experience itself went amazing and while there’s a lot I attribute to that but the biggest thing I’m grateful for was Amy helped naturally get labor progressing at 40 weeks because my mom was in town from out of the country and was leaving 3 days later so I was anxious to have the baby before she left. Well sure enough, Amy worked her magic and I went into labor less than 12 hours later! Once again her confidence was so assuring. During the birth itself Amy, Desi and Debbie were such a calming supportive force. They quietly and efficiently took care of me. Amy especially while I was pushing was everything I needed. And they all did everything perfectly to ensure I was comfortable after and informed. They took such good care of my baby and I felt so loved and cared for! I couldn’t have made a better decision going with Peaceful Midwifery! I’m currently 3 days postpartum and have had daily check-ins and an in person visit and feel so cared for. If you’re deciding what group to go with or if you want to do an at home birth, Amy and her team are the best possible choice! And I’m so happy we did a home birth.

I'm so grateful I had Amy, Desi, and Isabelle as my midwives for my home birth. This was my 1st home birth and 4th child (2nd unmedicated birth). During my labor I felt so much gratitude to have had so much support from all of them because I wasn't expecting it to be so intense. I truly relied on all of them to help me make it through. They were all so attentive helping me through every surge. They empowered me throughout my whole labor, especially during the times I needed it the most. My baby girl came relatively quick with the last hour being the most intense. I actually delivered her on my couch- Amy, Desi, and Isabelle were right there helping me feel capable and strong! Other than having an amazing home birth- the whole process of having a midwife during this pregnancy for my prenatal care was incredible. I ALWAYS felt heard and supported which is PRICELESS with healthcare today. If I were to have another baby there is no doubt that I would go with Amy and her team again. They are incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive midwives and I feel so grateful to have gone through this experience with them.

Peaceful Birth Midwifery will forever hold a special place in my heart since having their support during the birth of my rainbow baby. Their prenatal care was the absolute best because they really prioritized mom and baby’s health with no extra unnecessary things. Although I decided to transfer from a home birth to the hospital, after 20 hours of labor Amy and her team stayed by my side not only supporting me but my husband as well. After a total of almost 40 hours of labor they are one of the reasons I kept staying strong! Thank you!
