What parents say

I transferred from Ladies First (Baptist) at 28 weeks when I was pregnant with my first in 2017 because I did not feel like they were caring for me, only for my baby and I was I just a vessel.

★★★★★ — Katie, 2022-04

My wife Sonia and I decided to go with Gentle Birth Options after looking at several places. We are so pleased with our decision! Cindi and the rest of the GBO staff quickly became like family. They all took the time to really get to know us. They trained us and poured into us.

★★★★★ — Lucas, 2015-10

Cindi took great care of our family when we were under her care for the birth of my first child in 2017. We were very happy with the education we received with the birth classes she provided and our care was fantastic.

★★★★★ — Kyle, 2021-11

Currently 4 months post partum with my second Gentle Birth Options and First Homebirth baby. And looking back on the whole experience I can only say, I can't wait to do it again! I never thought I'd be one to birth out of hospital, let alone twice and the second time at home!
