“I have had 3 delightful homebirths with these ladies and I refer them to all my friends. I always felt so safe, well-cared for, respected, and understood - not only during birth, but also through pregnancy and postpartum.”

Tonia H.

“I never imagined I would have a home birth. I don’t even think I knew it was an option until I became pregnant with my first, but it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! We are 3 home births in and can’t thank Ellen and Amanda enough for what they have done to help make that happen. They are a great team!”

Jocelyn B.

After having a C-section with my first I was a little apprehensive about trying a homebirth, but Ellen & Amanda were both very supportive and so was my Husband! So I was very happy to get to experience a beautiful homebirth, and baby girl was frank breech at that! Ellen had no qualms about me trying in spite of so many others telling me I was crazy! I did it and all was fine. Highly recommend Ellen & Amanda for your midwives!!

“Both of my homebirths were so comfortable. Its just so nice to be in your own home!”

Samantha R.

“After three hospital births, I wanted something different and I was referred to Ellen and Amanda by some friends. From our first meeting through the weeks after our son was born, the entire process with them was wonderful. They take their time with every appointment, were great listeners and communicators, and were so knowledgeable. If we have another child, I will 100% be using them again and cannot recommend them highly enough.”

Brigid T.

“Even having given birth twice before, being in the comfort of my own home plus the expertise of Ellen and Amanda made for a more empowered & confident mama this time around! I wouldn't trade the experience!”

Lauren G.

“Ellen is an amazing midwife! I used her with all three of my pregnancies. She has a very calming presence. I felt at ease knowing that she was assisting with my deliveries. I can't say enough good things about her! We love Ellen!”

Savannah H.

“I can’t say enough great things about Ellen and Amanda. I had two amazing home births with them and could not of asked for a better experience. They are so nice, very knowledgeable, they make you feel so comfortable and know exactly how to keep you calm. They always take their time and make sure all of your questions are answered. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a midwife.”

Amy B.

“I started my journey as a mom off as skeptical if midwifery was actually the best route to have a baby or if it was just an alternative for having a baby. I had our first born in a midwife’s suite, our second with midwives in the hospital, and our third with Amanda as a midwife in our home. Although I had good experiences with all of them and no complications in any of my pregnancies, I LOOOOVED having our number three at our home. The kids were put to sleep at 9 PM at the same time I started having contractions. They got to sleep through it all. My husband prepared the room and had soft peaceful music playing in the background. Amanda arrived promptly and the baby was born 20 minutes later! I was relaxed, at home in my own setting, not needing to worry about traveling or packing or driving or being around a bunch of people I did not know. One of the biggest factors that made me feel comfortable was a book called “ The Five Standards For Safe Childbearing”. I realized how natural childbirth was, how my body was created to know what to do, and midwifery was simply assisting in it. I 100 percent recommend using midwives and homebirths for any healthy pregnancy!

I'll never forget Amanda asking "Do you want to catch your baby dad?"

“From the moment Ellen entered our home we felt comfortable and at ease. Ellen's wisdom and closeness to nature are unspoken but profound.”

Lauren G.

Amanda and Ellen delivered our first baby at home and it was an amazing experience. They are both so kind, knowledgeable and caring, making sure to take the time to answer all questions and address concerns. It was reassuring to know they were only a text or call away 24/7. They are very empowering and helped me with the confidence I needed to get through labor. Being able to stay home and not go to a hospital was very important to my fiancé and I, and these ladies made it happen! They also make sure to include the father and the family in the whole process which was great. As a first time mom, I am so grateful and we delivered a 9 lb baby at home, no issues! We will definitely be returning to Amanda and Ellen if we have another baby in the future, it was a blessing and an honor to have them deliver our daughter.

Jamie M.

“I love how Ellen taught me birth is not a scary experience. It can be peaceful and beautiful. It amazes me how she always knows without a word what feels the best and what I needed. From warm water pours to hot lavender compresses, her moves count. She has a world of knowledge and she does well in helping the birth be like God designed it to be. She’s there without taking up space”

Marian T.

After finding out we were expecting in Oct. 2020, we thought this third time we wanted to give a home birth a try. We got Ellen's name and number from a neighbor who had a home birth. We loved it! We really liked the calmness of Ellen. She didn't seem razzled by anything. Amanda and Ellen worked so well together to keep me comfortable. They know what they are doing and walked us thru every step. I would recommend a home birth and Ellen and Amanda to anyone looking for a private, intimate experience to bring a baby into the world. If we weren't done having children we would do it again!

“Ellen and Amanda delivered my third child, I had 2 hospital births before this one and I have never experienced such quality care before! They both have a calming and caring disposition that is so hard to find nowadays. I greatly appreciated their knowledge in nutrition during pregnancy, their coaching, and encouragement during labor. They were so in tune with what I wanted and needed. and I'll never forget how they cared for me postnatal. After delivery, Ellen went into my kitchen and fixed me a meal. They cared for me just as much as the baby. These two don't just show up to do their job as midwives. They go above and care for you as a mother would.”
