What parents say

I had the best prenatal care, birth and postpartum care experience. I had my first son in a hospital and decided to go with a midwife for my second pregnancy and was met with way more than I had hoped for.

★★★★★ — Cassie, 2023-11

The Birth Cottage and Layla offered everything I was looking for during my pregnancy and labor. Being pregnant with my 4th, I knew exactly how my labors go and what I wanted to do. I felt so cared for and respected just being allowed to have my baby how I wanted.

★★★★★ — Still, 2022-02

I started going to Layla when I was 20 weeks pregnant. I was relocating from South Florida and her team made the transition seamless. My appointments were the highlight of appointments she answered all my questions and provided me with additional information if I wanted to research things further.

★★★★★ — Simone, 2019-05

I am a mother to three girls. Two of them I had at a hospital and the third recently at the Birth Cottage. The difference? Significant -- and I'll tell you why. There is an insurmountable wealth of knowledge and professional care to be found at this birth center.
