Consultation Testimonials

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

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

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.

Your body has what it needs to grow and give birth to your baby. You don’t have to settle for routine inductions, a medical staff you don't know, or impersonal care.

FAQ's

Do I need to see a doctor if I hire a midwife?

Nope! A midwife can provide comprehensive obstetric care starting at any point in pregnancy. We offer all the same procedures (prenatal care, ultrasound referrals, labs, and breastfeeding support) with an individualized, relationship-based approach.

Can I afford a midwife?

Most of our clients find that the cost of their entire midwifery care, including their birth, is less expensive than their insurance deductible. Payment plans are available!

Do you bill insurance?

We do! We bill all insurance companies as out of network providers. We work closely with a specialized biller to get the highest reimbursement possible for each of our clients.

Can I have a waterbirth?

Yes! We are experts in planned homebirth, including giving birth in the water. We have a waterbirth tub available for all of our clients who want one and we are well trained and comfortable in supporting a waterbirth at home.
