What parents say
From the moment we first stepped into Gentle Beginnings birthing center, the warm and welcoming atmosphere immediately put us at ease. The serene ambiance and the friendly smiles on the faces of extremely caring and loving people created an environment filled with positivity and reassurance.
I loved everything about Gentle Beginnings and Midwife Cheryl! I transferred here after my provider in the hospital told me I couldn't refuse "routine" interventions and wouldn't see me because I wouldn't wear a mask (2023)!
I love this birth center. I interviewed and checked out about 4 centers and midwives before choosing Gentle Beginnings.Its homey atmosphere and most importantly for my midwife Cheryl Gaspard made it a great choice for my all natural VBA2C labor.
About 18 months ago our baby girl was born at Gentle Beginnings! We can't say enough amazing things about our midwives Michele and Sarah. There was so much peace in the process, so much care, and so much freedom. We were so thankful for that process and can't wait to do it again!
