Client Experiences

“I used Arielle as a first time mom seeking a home birth. From the initial consultation with Arielle, I knew I had found my midwife. Every interaction she made me feel safe and cared for. Informed consent is also important to her as it was to me. I had a couple of potential roadblocks that came up during prenatals, but Arielle stood by and reassured me that we could work through it. Giving birth, I had a pretty hard labor and baby had shoulder dystocia. Arielle coached me and delivered our son who had zero complications! Throughout the darkest times in birth, she was beside me and encouraging me. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her. Her assistant was also phenomenal. Every postpartum visit, she was always encouraging feedback and to discuss the birth if I wanted to. It was wonderful the amount of support she offered through pregnancy and postpartum. I’ve truly never experienced care like hers. She sets the bar high. Arielle left an imprint on our hearts forever. I can’t wait to call her in the future to deliver our next baby.”

“From the beginning of my pregnancy to the postpartum visits she was informative, sensitive, understanding, patient, professional, and personal. Jennifer delivered my first baby this past April. I was a first-time momma with a lot of questions, and Jennifer answered them all with grace and did not talk down to me. She treated me and my husband with respect.
During our birth she was always calm and encouraging. My husband even commented on how Jennifer's calm demeanor reassured him that everything was alright.
I cannot imagine having a better experience. Thank you, Jennifer, for the quality of care you provide.”

Gaylea is truly incredible at her job. The practice is patient-led, evidence-based, and she practices thorough informed consent and patient autonomy. She’s also amazing at walking folks through their options and supported us so well when we had difficult decisions to make. Our prenatal care was gentle, thorough, peaceful, and informative--our appointments were regularly an hour long and we were able to have discussions about our questions. I wish all prenatal and postpartum care could be like what Gaylea offers! As a birth doula, I recommend this practice to everyone who asks for provider recs. She’s the best in town!
