Serra's Homebirth
I am so glad I chose Amber to be my home birth midwife! From prenatal care, to my 4+ day labor, to postpartum care, me and my little one were so well cared for the entire time.
She is SO knowledgeable, patient, nurturing, present, and easygoing yet serious. She embodied all the qualities of a midwife that I could hope for, and a few others that I didn't even know I needed.
The recorded birth classes she shared with me (Covid times) were super helpful and answered most of the questions I had about birth. When I had more questions/concerns/fears he was always down to discuss them at length, which was something I did not find with some other birth professionals I spoke with.
When it was labor & birthing gametime, she was so on it, I knew that me and my little one were doing good the whole time, even when things felt really hard.
Choosing a home birth was something I wanted but was nervous about in the beginning. She helped me and my husband feel relaxed and confident that we were in good hands.
OK this is getting kinda long but I just can't say enough about how great my experience was with Amber and I'd choose it all over again!

Veronica's Homebirth
I am very happy I choose Amber as my midwife. At each prenatal appointment, Amber answered questions, and sincerely wanted to know how I was feeling which is something I did not receive in the hospital during another pregnancy. At the hospital prenatal appointments, the doctor did not care about me as a individual, but just another patient, and they only spent 15 minutes with me. Amber would spend 45 minutes at a prenatal appointment with us.
I could not imagine giving birth anywhere else besides the privacy of my home with family. I got to share the experience with two sister in laws which are both doulas, and my husband. It was 3 long days of labor, but it was a amazing experience. Amber stayed all 3 days, and was hands on when needed. Amber really tried to stress the importance of figuring out who I wanted at the birth. I wish I had less people at the birth, but it was a learning experience.
Amber did an excellent job supporting my husband and I doing the first 6 weeks of postpartum. At each checkup, she weighed the baby, checked in with me regarding eating schedule/diet, healing & recovery, and if I had any questions and concerns. During one of the visits Amber noticed the baby was frustrated during breastfeeding. She recommended that we try fennel seeds, fenugreek seeds and ginger into a tea to increase milk supply. Immediately after drinking the tea, my milk supply was plentiful and my baby was happy all thanks to Amber.

Kat's Homebirth
Amber was my midwife last year through my first pregnancy (during covid) and I felt so safe, comfortable and cared for under her practice. She came to my home for the prenatal visits which increase in frequency as the pregnancy progresses.
During these visits she checks on mama's and baby's health and answers any kind of question you might have. Amber is a sweetheart, very personable and knowledgeable. And if she doesn't personally know the answer to any of your questions she'll find the answer for you! I had terrible trouble with my insurance and she helped me navigate that nightmare.
THE BIRTH! Birth is never an easy experience, but Amber and her team were the perfect hands to be in for such an intense, life changing experience.
I felt so comfortable in my home with these women at what is probably the most vulnerable I will ever be. My labor went pretty seamlessly, and they knew to take me into a new position out of the tub for delivery when it was time to push my baby girl out! I had zero tearing and was able to hold my baby girl immediately after she was born.
Post part was a dream! I didn't have to go anywhere for check ups for myself and she gives you WAY more care and attention than you would ever receive at a hospital. I will never ever regret my choice to give birth at home with Amber and her team. My family and I are so thankful!

I am fully convinced that Amber was an angel sent from heaven to my birth. Amber, showed up at my birth and became a pillar of support during the birth that I hadn't realized I would need.
She is highly intuitive, attuned and respectful, offering only as much inspiration as you need and as much physical support as you ask for. She's super gentle and super strong at the same time (probably due to her yoga practice) and I couldn't imagine a more perfect combination for birth support.
Mackenzie's Homebirth
I worked with Amber throughout the pregnancy and birth of my first child. She has been an absolute rock for me; providing emotional and informational support in a gentle, kind and attentive manner at every turn.
Especially during the pandemic, I was exploring different options for my birth at multiple points in my pregnancy and she always guided me to the referrals and information that I needed in order to come to the best decision for our family.
When I went into labor, her calm and confident presence truly created the space for me embrace the process and carried me through the *many* hours of labor to the birth. She is incredibly gifted at her work and I will be forever appreciative!
I also worked with Alana for the postpartum care 6-weeks after the birth. She is the best! She has been such a soothing, caring and warm presence in our home every week.
The food she made was simply delicious -- mostly soups/stews, lots of vegetables and warm drinks to support lactation and digestion. My favorite thing was the abyunga massages. They really helped my body heal and helped me catch my breath after those initial long sleepless nights. It was the highlight of my week every time!
I would 100% recommend- I'm so grateful to them for helping me have the best birth and postpartum experience that I could. I miss them both already!

Amber was a gift to me and my new family throughout my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. Met the perfect balance of gracious, skilled, and reassuring. I didn’t just feel empowered, I really was. She always listened attentively to my words said and unsaid.
