I will be forever grateful to Sarah, Charli, and Emily - they are my birth heroes and I still can’t believe this past year was real. I am still riding my birth high! Don’t forget to check out their incredible podcast, The Homebirth Midwife Podcast! It is such an incredible resource. It is great for when things come up in-between appointments, you can always find an episode to answer a question. I sent episodes to family members who were confused about home birth, and it taught them a lot. You also get to hear just how charismatic, intelligent, and passionate they are. Hearth and Home has set the bar high for home birth care and they are making a wonderful positive impact in our community! I’m so excited for all of their future clients and babies! - Jennifer My wife and I were lucky enough to have the Hearth and Home crew deliver both our little ones and they were so special and wonderful both times. They provide such a deeper, more personal, and way more compassionate approach to prenatal care all the way through postpartum. If we were to have any more kiddos I couldn’t even imagine doing a hospital birth. During labor they knew exactly what my wife needed at all times. They gave us plenty of space when she needed it, when she needed reassurance they knew what to say , and when the time came they were right there and ready. Amazing Midwives! - Trevor Words can’t even begin to express my gratitude for the incredible midwives of Hearth and Home Midwifery. I wish I could have ten more children so I could experience their amazing care over and over again! I had my first child with Hearth and Home about two months ago. Sarah showed such profound care, empathy, and validation of my feelings in that initial conversation that I knew we’d found our midwives. She instantly made me feel seen and safe, and that feeling continued throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care. I felt so empowered as I birthed by healthy baby into my own hands in my own home! It was the most challenging and incredible experience of my life. I’ve already referred pregnant friends to Hearth and Home, and I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering a home birth. I can’t imagine better midwives or a more positive birth experience. I will remember Sarah, Charli, and Emily for the rest of my life with immense fondness and gratitude! - Dylan We are so thankful for the care we received from Sarah, Charli and Emily! The hour long prenatal appointments allowed us to ask all the questions on our minds, to learn about the routine assessments at each point in pregnancy, to hear our baby’s heartbeat and to connect with our midwives, all of which helped us develop such a trusting bond with them. They all exude deep knowledge, passion and care for the work they do, and we loved the chance to learn about pregnancy and birth from them (their online childbirth education class and podcast are well worth the extra investment & time!) - Emily I cannot recommend Charli and Sarah of Hearth and Home Midwifery highly enough. They work hard to stay up-to-date and are so knowledgeable. Instead of telling me the next step when complications arose during my pregnancy, they provided informed consent: providing information, offering suggestions, and ultimately allowing me and my partner to make the final decision. They went out of their way to establish a relationship with my 3-year-old daughter and make her feel included in the process of my care. Sarah and Charli are compassionate and caring; I always left appointments with them feeling encouraged and loved. I’ve never felt so respected by healthcare providers. I will miss them so much, now that my baby and I have graduated from their care.My baby’s shoulder got stuck after his head was born, a situation that had the potential to be frightening and very dangerous. Charli and Sarah remained calm and helped my baby out in a way that was very gentle and also very quick. My baby came out screaming and thriving, and I didn’t even tear! I’m so grateful that they kept us both so safe. – Rosie Sarah and Charli helped to give me the most profound experience of my life. In their calm, professional manner, they included me in the process of allowing me to assist in delivering my grandson. They are with you every step of the process but allow you to have the personal experience you desire. They completely listened to our family’s wants for the birthing process and allowed us the freedom to change our minds when we wanted to. I was already impressed but then the after birth visits blew me away. Frequent and informative visits for new parents who need help. We all would highly recommend these two caring, beautiful women who helped to bring our most precious child into our lives. – Grandma Jen My family’s experience with Sarah and Charli as our midwives was better than I could have imagined. They are two of the most caring, kind, supportive, professional, and knowledgeable people I have had the pleasure of knowing. They believe strongly in informed choice and made me feel that I knew best for myself and my family. I enjoyed my pregnancy journey with them more than I knew was possible from a medical provider and I can’t wait to work with them again in years to come. – Brooke Very highly recommended. I can not imagine the birth of our son without Sarah and Charli. It’s a tremendous service operated by extraordinary women. We felt very prepared for birth and the post-birth wisdom, responsiveness and support was so very appreciated. We chose Hearth and Home Midwifery because of their level of caring and they sustained this in EVERY interaction over 8 months. As a father, I especially appreciate the way we were presented with both their experience and scientific data for every decision and I never felt alienated from the decisions or the process... Thank you! – Joshua Something greater was truly at work during my prenatal journey and Charli and Sarah are proof of that....
