“When I became pregnant with my first child, I began an intense search for the ideal provider. Someone who could midwife me into new motherhood. It was important to me that I find a provider that looked like me, that shared my lens about the world, who would nurture me through my pregnancy, and would empower me at my birth. Rae completed the circle of women that I was searching for. Rae respected my wishes, honored my traditions, saw me and my partner as whole people, and took the time to know us and our dreams for the birth. The day of, she was a mighty presence. I felt held. I felt cared for. I felt nurtured. I felt safe. I felt her strength surround me. Together we delivered our beautiful baby into this ceremony called life and I am deeply grateful for her presence.”

“[Rae} delivered our son three years ago at our home. We were so lucky to have kind & patient energy from our birth team. Rae was a student at the time very close to becoming a licensed certified midwife & by the way she cared for us during our prenatal appointments & labor/delivery it’s like she had been in the industry for years & years. Her communication & professionalism while making you feel safe has no bounds. Giving birth is such a special experience & she really made our experience that much better. We are hopeful that she will be able to catch our next baby at home when the time comes. Rae is exceptional, she was made to be a midwife.”

“[Rae] delivered my second unmedicated birth and I am so pleased with our experience. Rae was attentive and in tune with my body and the rhythms of my active labor. She communicated very efficiently through the actual birthing and was able to coach me through it, aiding me to pace my body for a successful, completely in tact birth for both me and baby (preventing tearing is one of her passions and she did not disappoint!). Rae is efficient, effective, and knowledgeable. I would definitely deliver with her again!”

“[Rae] was my midwife during my prenatal care, during labor and also the 6 weeks post-partum. She was so kind and understanding. She listened to my concerns and addressed my worries with a science-based approach to her advice. She is knowledgeable and explains everything clearly and without judgement. She made me feel safe and confident in making informed decisions. I had a medical emergency that made me deviate from my birth plan and Rae was vital in identifying the early warning signs that my labor progression wasn't normal and helping me pivot to a safe hospital birth. She came to our home to provide the first week of post-partum care and continued to look after me and my child until we returned to our primary doctor. She helped me process post-partum feelings and breast-feeding strategies. I was so lucky to have her as a midwife.”
