Dependable, thorough in work, and intentional in service… Receiving the care from Dorothy made our first pregnancy a beautiful experience. Dorothy is a great guide and educator of the whole pregnancy journey. Her care is specific to mama and baby. It always made me feel confident as well as motivated to do my best for baby’s sake. Dorthy is willing to go the extra mile. I wish for all women to experience the intentional support, undivided attention and professional care in their pregnancy journey as I did.

We have used Dorothy for two of our births now. My very first impression of her was “wow, she’s young”. But I am glad that first impression did not scare me away because she is the most knowledgeable midwife I have ever met. She is Better than any doctor or OB/GYN when it comes knowledge, patience & caring for your health. Every issue I ever had with pregnancy, labor, after birth or baby she was able to answer it and take care of the problem. You will not be disappointed, having her as your midwife! She is a true blessing in my life. Thank you Dorothy, we love you!

I can’t say enough positive things about Dorothy. She delivered my first son and assisted with my second son. Dorothy brought a calmness and a peace that only certain people can. I’m thankful for her knowledge of different positions to help with the baby’s position. I would recommend Dorothy to anyone who would love to have a calm successful birthing experience.

Dorothy delivered our 4th child. This was our first home birth, my wife has 2 c sections followed by a hospital VBAC before we had our 4th at home. She was great! I work in healthcare and was nervous about having a baby at home. She was very competent and professional. Knew exactly what she was doing and provided great care and insight. We would certainly recommend care with Dorothy!

I could go on and on about Dorothy! She is extremely knowledgeable and also incredibly kind. She also has an air of confidence and decisiveness that I appreciate in a provider! She is always available for all of my questions. She definitely uses a holistic approach to her care and I hope that I can have her for many many more births to come. She is amazing. I recommend her to everyone!
