Words cannot express how much this experience has meant to me. I cannot remember a time I have felt more happy and present than I felt the days after Kate's birth. What a gift you helped me give myself. Your role in our lives as a family will never be forgotten. With much thanks and love. Meagan

A simple" thank you" doesn't seem adequate in expressing our appreciation for all you did to help bring Everett into the world. Having you there reassuring us and giving us the confidence to give birth at home gave us a wonderful experience. Your professionalism and calm, easy-going manner made this experience amazing. We love recalling and retelling others about Everett's birth. I wish all women could have such a great experience. You are all that midwives should be! All our love and thanks. Andy & Amber

Having our baby with Health Foundations was truly a life changing experience. After having a c-section with our first child, we had no idea what to expect from our second labor. Amy and Kate were incredibly supportive, loving, yet firm and always believed in my ability to birth my baby, perhaps more than I believed in myself. Part of the success of our pregnancy and birth was Amy and Kate's faith in my body's ability to do what it does naturally. They not only guided me along the pregnancy with amazing tips, advice and encouragement, but they also supported me emotionally through one of the most vulnerable times in my life. We feel absolutely blessed to have had the opportunity to work with Health Foundations. If we have any more children, they will be hired on the spot! Chanda

Lactation Support

Health Foundations understands the importance of ongoing support to help establish and successfully continue breast feeding. As part of your care, a midwife is available to offer that support and answer questions. Mothers are encouraged to participate in a breastfeeding class offered at the Birth Center. This class focuses on getting off to a great start with comfortable latch, understanding nursing positions and infant feeding cues. The class also covers nutrition for breast feeding, breast feeding supplies, and common concerns such as infant growth spurts. We also encourage pregnant mothers to contact their local La Leche League group and attend a meeting prenatally.

Lactation Consultations

Private lactation consultations are available in your home or at the birth center.
