“As a first time mom, I didn’t know what to expect in labor, but I was determined to have a natural birth if at all possible. Our pre-birth appointments with Samantha were very helpful. Samantha is very easy to talk to and she made us feel comfortable with our (many) questions, and was quick to respond to my texts and phone calls. As my due date approached, Samantha was very encouraging and excited for me, which helped me relax about the unknown.

I am convinced that without Samantha’s assistance, I would not have had the natural birth I wanted. Her guidance and assistance were invaluable to us, and I am so thankful we had her by our side. My husband and I both highly recommend Samantha.“

I felt so well cared for and respected during pregnancy, labor and delivery. Samantha listened to me, and asked permission before doing ANYTHING, she answered my questions thoroughly, and she trusted that I knew my body.

Most importantly, during my labor my husband got to be involved as much as possible and Samantha was so accommodating with that desire. 

When my baby had to be hospitalized a couple days after birth Samantha came with us to the emergency room. She helped advocate for me when the ER doctor was treating me badly, and stayed by my side until we were admitted. She helped me figure out how to use the hospital breast pump and asked questions I didn’t even think to ask. I frequently think back to this period of time with such immense gratitude for the way Samantha helped me during the scariest experience of my life. I sincerely don’t know what [we] would’ve done without her. 

I can’t recommend her enough if you’re looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and empowering midwife for your home birth!
