What parents say

Ellie is fantastic. A safe and wonderful home birth experience for both my wife and myself. I recommend Ellie to anyone who is considering a home birth or natural care. 2 of my children were born at home and I am grateful Ellie was there to guide the process.

Ellie and her staff of amazing midwives are exceptional in every aspect. We had our son on may 9 2018 at her facility. Through every step on this amazing journey, she was kind, patient, knowledgeable as was each of her capable staff. She listens, she gives full attention to the clients.

★★★★★ — Trent, 2018-06

After having my first child in a hospital with an OB/GYN I knew I wanted a much different and personal experience for my second birth. This practice is full of the most caring women I've ever encountered in a medical setting. Every appointment is personal and they truly get to know their patients.

★★★★★ — Breanne, 2018-07

I had an amazing birth experience at the birthing center. After a stressful hospital birth with my first daughter, i wanted a different experience with my second. I am so grateful I found Sierra Natural Birthing Center! The entire process, from prenatal care, the actual labor, to amazing postnatal care was perfect.
