TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying

"Excited to continue working with her"

"We met Phoebe at our first midwife appointment back in 2022. My husband and I instantly connected with her and felt her beautiful light! She is one of those people you meet and feel like you’ve known your whole life. She has the biggest heart and purest soul! You can feel her love whether you are with her in person or talking to her via text. We loved working together as she helped guide us through our pregnancy, home birth, postpartum and breastfeeding journey. She was attentive, kind, gentle, present and so loving each step of the way! We are excited to continue working with her as our midwife as we grow our family and welcome a new baby due in the fall of 2025! "

"We are forever grateful for the support we received"

"We had the blessing of meeting Phoebe for our second daughter’s pregnancy and birth. The gift of empowerment and knowledge we gained allowed for us to experience a magical home birth, postpartum, & breast-feeding journey. When we found out we were pregnant with our third, without hesitation we embarked on that journey with Phoebe and we were again blessed with an incredible experience. Without a doubt, if you are considering a midwife team, she is very experienced and provides for a peaceful, empowering, magical journey. We are forever grateful for the support we received and continue to receive with Phoebe."

"...I felt confident in my natural ability to birth a healthy baby..."

"Home birth was a life-changing experience for me. From the beginning of my pregnancy, Phoebe was the guide who made my husband and I feel safe and empowered. She provided invaluable education and was incredibly patient in addressing all our questions… and believe me, we had many! As a result, even though I had a difficult labor that spanned several days, I felt confident in my natural ability to birth a healthy baby. Phoebe encouraged me through the long hours and ultimately helped bring my baby into the world with her calm, loving presence. I couldn’t have wished for a better experience. With love."

Brianna Renard

"Unbelievably knowledgeable

"...Her lactation support was life-changing. Public education completely let us down—I couldn’t believe how little I knew beforehand. She taught me things I couldn’t even find online and was hands-on when the textbook advice just wasn’t working. Her love for her work runs deep, but the love and care she showed me as an individual was something truly special. She has always been there for us, and she even feels like family now. Phoebe is unbelievably knowledgeable, truly the best of the best, and has supported us before, during, and after. She delivered our firstborn, and without a doubt, we’re choosing her again for our next. Don’t wait—reach out and experience her care firsthand!"

Frequently Asked Questions

I know that choosing the right support for your birth and breastfeeding journey comes with a lot of questions—and you deserve clear, reassuring answers. Here are some of the most common questions I hear from families like yours. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out—I’m here to help.

A midwife can provide holistic, personalized care focused on natural birth and supporting your body’s innate ability to give birth. Unlike an OB-GYN, midwives specialize in physiological birth and emphasize education, informed decision-making, and emotional support. If complications arise, we will collaborate with healthcare providers to ensure the best possible care.

Yes! Research shows that planned home births with a qualified midwife are just as safe as hospital births for low-risk pregnancies. I bring years of experience, monitoring tools, and emergency protocols to ensure the safest possible environment. If complications arise, we will have a clear plan for medical transfer when needed.

Absolutely! One of the best things about home birth is that it allows your partner and family to be as involved as you want them to be. Whether it’s helping with comfort measures, catching the baby, or just being present, we ensure your loved ones are part of this beautiful journey.

Low milk supply is often fixable with proper feeding techniques, frequent nursing, and addressing any underlying causes. I will assess your situation and offer strategies to naturally boost your supply.

I provide comprehensive postpartum care for the first six weeks after birth, but many families continue working with me for breastfeeding support, emotional well-being, and holistic healing well beyond that.

At this time, we are self-pay only. However, midwifery and lactation services are often covered by insurance or reimbursed through HSAs/FSAs. We can support you in navigating this process by providing documentation for reimbursement.

Midwifery is rooted in evidence-based care and has been used successfully for centuries. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes midwives as essential in reducing unnecessary interventions and improving birth outcomes.

Choosing home birth allows you to:

  • Give birth in a calm, familiar space that promotes relaxation and smooth labor.
  • Avoid unnecessary interventions that may not align with your birth plan.
  • Have complete autonomy over your choices, movements, and birthing positions.
  • Experience uninterrupted bonding and immediate skin-to-skin contact without hospital policies restricting your choices.
