What parents say

So much to say, but I’ll start with saying THANK YOU to, Kasey, Kira, Kaitie, Rachel & Rebecca. You ladies don’t know how much you mean to me! After being juggled around and turned away by several different providers/midwives/obgyn because of my fibroids I had lost trust and the excitement of being pregnant.

I love Roots! It is filled with respectful and powerful women. The kind of people you should surround yourself with while you're going through such an amazing life experience!

★★★★★ — Jessica, 2017-08

Words can't begin to describe how much I loved my experience at Roots!! I felt completely taken care of the whole way through. The midwives are all incredible listeners and so patient. They are extremely knowledgeable and competent at what they do, while still maintaining a laid-back and relaxed atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Rachel, 2017-03

I love Roots and the women working here. My personal experience here has been amazing and I’ve learned a lot as well. I’ve been with roots since the very beginning of my pregnancy. I gave birth here, although besides the normal pain my birthing experience was amazing!! They also offer water births and natural remedies.
