“It was an amazing privilege to have Nancy as my midwife for both of my births. She was everything I needed in a midwife. From prenatal visits to labor support, I felt so safe having her by my side. She always took the time to answer any questions I had and went above and beyond to make sure I had all the information and resources I needed. She took care of me like I was family, and I am beyond grateful for that! She has such a kind heart and a listening ear, and she knew exactly how to make me feel so empowered and secure during my pregnancy and birth experience. In labor, she let me have my space when I wanted it, and was ready to be hands-on when I needed it, it was the best of both worlds! She knew just what to say to make me feel confident and encouraged. I often find myself reflecting on my birth stories and when people ask me how my births were, I confidently say “they were both amazing!” I give so much credit to Nancy for helping my birth experiences go so smoothly. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about this woman! It would be my hope for every woman to have the opportunity to receive the same love, attention, and care that I received while having Nancy as my midwife!”

“There aren’t even enough words to describe how amazing Nancy is. I first met her when she was a midwife training at my daughter’s first birth. I was nervous to have someone I hadn’t met there but she instantly became my friend and support person during my very long labor. She was gentle and kind and just knew exactly what to say and do. When we became pregnant with our second daughter I was so excited to be able to receive care from Nancy. She always went above and beyond at my appointments and even let my toddler ‘help’ her take care of Mommy. The day I went into labor I cried tears of joy knowing that Nancy was going to be by my side to catch my second baby. It was truly a blessing to have her be a part of our care and birth stories. She is more than a midwife, she has become our family and an Auntie to our girls. We love her so much and truly believe that anyone who has the opportunity to work with her is truly blessed beyond belief. We love you Nancy, so grateful that you are in our lives.”

“Have had the pleasure of attending several births with Nancy. As a birth doula I get to see many beginnings of life in different locations and facilities. Nancy does not just practice midwifery... Nancy IS midwifery at its best. She is truly ‘present’ for her clients at each and every moment, all the while doing all of the necessary monitoring and other functions. I am sure she has already made a huge impact on the families she has attended and know her good works will continue in the future.”

”’Nancy is an amazing human being. As corny as this may sound, she is my angel and my hero! I had a very rough first delivery at a hospital and so I was nervous and scared about delivering my second. Every time I visited the birthing center and had her as my midwife, I felt so comfortable with her, like a sister. She always reassured me everything would be fine and I would have a great experience. She wasn’t kidding... I had the most amazing experience of my life. Yes it was painful, but it was so magical, and to feel your body take over and give birth naturally is one of the most unique experiences that we, as women, get to experience. My labor went quickly but from the moment I called her to let her know it was time to the moment we walked out of the center with a healthy beautiful newborn baby boy, she took such amazing care of both me and Micah. She was professional and directed me perfectly, made me feel comfortable and at ease in my mind. She was my peace in the moment of a crazy storm. She was gentle yet confidently took the situation in her hands. I couldn’t have asked for a better midwife. My experience was perfect and don’t think it could have been any more amazing.
Even the aftercare was great. I had many questions and always reached out to her for advice and concerns. She was quick to call/text back, which is great, especially when you are worried.
I’d like to say this experience of natural childbirth with the help of Nancy was heart and soul mending; I finally had closure. My past no longer haunts me from my first childbirth, and this one makes it so much better.”
