What parents say
It’s not an exaggeration to say that, without Jannae’s quick thinking and thoughtful care, our baby very likely would not have made it into this world. We did everything we could to prepare for a home birth, but our little one had other ideas.
First of all, Jannae took me on as a client when I was 34 weeks pregnant. So for that, I am endlessly grateful for their compassion and understanding of my desire to avoid the medical system (despite how close I was to my due date), and preserve the experience of a physiological birth.
I had the ultimate fortune of meeting Jannae when they were still a student midwife on the birth team for my second birth. Although we sadly didn't get to see each other for the entirety of the pregnancy all the way through to baby's graduation from midwifery care due to timing, I still knew they were exactly that…
Jannae is amazing. Heartily recommend. I live with my daughter and her spouse. My daughter invited me to share in a lot of the pregnancy and delivery experience. Jannae treated me as one of the team, let me listen in on visits (oh, the heartbeat!
