What parents say

The Gathering Place became my go-to resource as soon as I got pregnant. I took prenatal yoga classes every Saturday right up until the end, and I took many of the classes offered, to learn as much as I could before giving birth, and actually taking home a baby.

★★★★★ — Ingenious, 2016-09

I cannot even explain how absolutely incredible my home birth experience was. It was a peaceful, calm & empowering journey to bring our baby into this world. I have so much love and appreciation for my midwife (Colleen), doula (Vanessa), Michelle, Olivia, Tamara and the whole staff at The Gathering Place.

This testimonial is Long overdue. The ladies at the Gathering Place are phenomenal Women. My daughter is 1.3years old now & I had her with the help of these great smart and empowering role models of womenhood. Always so welcoming the atmosphere and energy of this location is enveloping.

★★★★★ — Jaclyn, 2014-08

Used this poace for their doula services, since I was planning on having a hospital birth. I interviewed 2 or 3 doulas and I ended up picking Esther Mccant, because I felt very comfortable with her the moment we met.
