Testimonials

The Briar Hill Midwives helped facilitate the most positive and profound experience of my life. Their caring natures and expertise enabled me to birth at home with confidence. My daughter's birth was gentle--she came into the world alert and content, and the care we both received after her birth was invaluable.

Carol, Mary and Penny promised to deliver and they were true to their word:) Wes and Jack and I couldn't have been in better hands, literally! Seriously though, the care and support we received throughout the pregnancy was fantastic and only surpassed by the care and support we received during labour and in the days following Jack's arrival. I can't imagine entrusting that experience with health care professionals less passionate about the health and wellbeing of mothers and their babies. My goal was to have a natural labour and delivery and the midwives were incredibly supportive of that and in addition to my husband the reason I achieved that goal. The biggest challenge after surviving labour and delivery is breastfeeding and without a doubt I would not still be breastfeeding today, 8 months later, if it wasn't for the midwives. Wes, Jack and I owe Carol, Mary and Penny a debt of gratitude I don't know we'd ever be able to repay. It was an amazing experience and one we can't wait to repeat!

Our family would like to thank you all for the care you gave us during the nine months of pregnancy. The whole experience is very precious to us and we will never forget the memory of Mackenzie’s birth. Your efforts made my labour incredible. Thank you all very much.

We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you have done. Through your knowledge, caring, encouragement and support you made my dream become a reality. With your guiding hands – we feel Sage was brought into the world in the best way possible. Her birth at home was both empowering and quite miraculous! The passion and love that you all share for your work shines through! Thank you for being part of our lives.

Thank you for the loving, caring, yet professional role you played in my prenatal care. The birth of Lava, and the follow-up care of Lava and me. You all possess a beautiful gift, the ability to guide a woman to recognizing her own innate powers for bringing forth new life.

You were beside me on this journey of healing with this second birth. Liam’s birth has left me changed and enriched as has the care you have given me and shown me. So many women thank God you three were put on the planet to enrich and change the lives of so many. I am blessed.

Thank you for making the birth all we had hoped it could be – joyful parents, perfect baby.

Many thanks for all your support and assistance. We are thrilled that you all could be a part of a most incredible experience. Without your exceptional care and guidance we would have been at a loss. You are true angels and Bless you all!

Thank you for making our dream come true! Having David at home was something we had always wanted to do, and you three very special ladies made it come true! You are like a family to us and I will never forget you. Thanks for everything and always being there when I needed you.

Ah life’s journey! If I hadn’t had a C-section, if you ladies (and others) hadn’t pushed the system and made so many sacrifices we wouldn’t have met and I wouldn’t have had such a wonderful home birth. In short, I wouldn’t be who I am today. Thanks for making a difference in so many existing and new lives!
