"I just wanted to take a few moments to thank each of you for your tremendous impact on our lives. I have known for years that I wanted to have a home birth, but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I would be so blessed with care from THREE fabulous, selfless and wonderful midwives like you. Our experience with the birth of Mateo exceeded my expectations in every possible way. I could not have imagined how much love I could experience, not only for my son, but for each of you who so delicately cared for us as he came into the world. We feel so truly blessed. I have so much respect for your work and just wanted to make sure you know how thankful we are. I can only imagine the amount of lives you have touched and it truly makes me weepy just thinking of all that good you're doing in Santa Barbara!! Each of you has a huge piece of my heart and I love you all. I look forward to keeping in touch with you and hopefully working with you on the next additions"

"Thank you doesn't seem enough but I do thank you from the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul. Thank you for your loving guidance. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your reassurance. Thank you for making my whole family a part of the whole process. It wasn't just about me and the baby but it was also about Ruben, Maia and Remington. To this day, Remi talks about 'helping' his baby sister 'be born.' There isn't a thing I'd 'redo' about Jazmin's birth. It was calm, quiet and peaceful. It was just how I had imagined it and so much more. My little water baby loves her baths so much she sometimes falls asleep in her tub as I'm bathing her. The sound of water calms her. She melts into the water when I rinse her hair."

"We took the 'road less traveled' when we chose to have midwives care for us during our pregnancy and the birth of our son. The support and love that The Midwives showed for us gave us strength and confidence during such a crucial time in our life. The prenatal care was wonderful - we felt so informed and comfortable. We felt like pregnancy was natural rather than "some condition" that we were "having treated". On the Big Day, after many hours of difficult labor, much coaching and coaxing, and not enough progression, we made the decision to transfer to the hospital. After some complications, medications, and interventions, we had to have a c-section. We were so glad that The Midwives were there as our advocates during such a frightening, vulnerable time. During post-labor visits The Midwives were loving, compassionate and gentle. We are so happy to have worked with The Midwives for such an incredible experience of having our first child."
