I just wanted to express my gratitude for all you did for me during my journey into motherhood. Pregnancy and childbirth were a much more empowering and transformative process for me than I ever thought possible and that was in large part due to your guidance, support, and incredibly calming energy. You rock! - Caitilyn

In speaking about you I was reminded just how much having you at Julia's birth meant to me. I thank you again for your knowledge and your grace.  -Kate

Thank you for your care and love and for catching Ailen. You’ll be in our hearts always. I'm so gratefull that I found you, and I definetly want you for my next birth, so we'll be in touch in a couple of years.  -Marisol

It was really a pleasure having you at the birth. Even though we hadn't met before, I felt really safe and good about having you in our home. The second you entered the house, it became warmer and happier. (assisted her birth) -Mathilde

You know, I never got to thank you for everything--everything--that you did for us.  Pre-birth, during birth, and afterwards.  You listened when you didn't have to, accepted a stressful situation that you had no part in making stressful, and allowed your friends to confide in you, process in your presence, and let's be honest, burden you excessively.  We'll never be able to repay you.  What you did was unprecedented.  I owe you my thanks.  I know that we were your most difficult client and you never indicated how taxing it was, although I know for a fact it was.  For me, a person who loves people very much but has a horrible time reaching out for help, your thoughtful suggestions and respectful distance and appropriate empathy were very important. -father D.  

FROM TRAINING:

I know you are going to be an amazing midwife, and mother, and I was so happy ... and I am very grateful you were there with me! I would love to have you attend every birth I may be involved in :) -Hanna

How lucky all those will be who interact with you at the very high moment of life, giving birth.  -Liz

Thank you for being such a huge part of our birth experience. You are already an incredible midwife. Best of luck to you…You have a wonderful teacher, but most importantly, you just seem made for this.  -Kasey

You will be a wonderful midwife and your mothers, very lucky!   -Anne
