What parents say

From the very beginning, the entire simplyborn team made us feel welcome. During every appointment, we were always greeted with smiles and kindness. Sara made sure to make us as comfortable as possible during pregnancy as well as delivery.

I switched to SimplyBorn around the 34th week of pregnancy from a different birth center midwife due to moving. I'm so thankful they were able to accept me as a late transfer. Sara and Brooke attended my son's birth at the birth house.

★★★★★ — Amy, 2022-07

Sara, Charis, Kendra, and the entire team are remarkable. They are knowledgeable and experienced midwives, lifelong teachers for us, and they are compassionate, supportive, patient, loving, fun people. As lost first-time parents, we luckily found Sara midway into our pregnancy.

★★★★★ — B, 2019-07

Having Sara and the Simply Born team deliver our daughter was the best decision we could have made. From the moment we arrived, they helped us feel at home, and confident we were making the right decision for us to have the birth experience we wanted.
