Care Providers

Choosing your care provider is singlehandedly the most important choice of your birth experience. You can take all the classes you want, read all the books you can find, and hire the best doula, but your care provider will be the "main" person taking charge of your birth. So if your care provider isn't on the same page as the rest of your birth team (i.e. your husband, your doula, etc.), then you may not have your needs met when it comes time for the birth.

I encourage you to check both your care provider’s personal C-Section rate and the C-Section rate of their practice. Those statistics may be alarming. A lot of care providers promise the world, but when it comes time for labor, sometimes your needs get pushed aside. So please do extensive research and talk to other moms who have used your care provider before. I have had MANY moms switch their care provider even a couple weeks before delivery and they are SO happy they did. It makes a HUGE difference to be totally supported by your birth team and to feel safe while going through your birth process.

These are providers that I have worked closely with in the past, and I only recommend the best of the best. These care providers are highly educated, very competent, and professional, as well as kind, patient, and caring. I am so thankful to have them in the birth community to offer you the highest standard of care. Please take time to call and/or interview them if you want to know more about them.

Please tell them that I sent you!

Centreville OBGYN

I don’t refer my clients to many hospital care providers. Many OBGYN offices have several providers, and there are often only 1 or 2 that the mom loves and feels supported by. But when it comes time to give birth and that doctor isn’t on call, they end up feeling pressured throughout the pregnancy and birthing process.

Centreville OBGYN is the only place I can personally recommend because their whole team has been supportive, kind, and patient with all of my clients. It’s truly a phenomenal experience.

Traci Marin (CNM) at this practice is also referred to as “The VBAC Guru.” She will advocate for just about anyone with almost any circumstance to get a chance to have a VBAC safely. The whole practice is wonderful! I don’t get any reward or monetary gift for sending you here. I just want moms to have the best chance of being 100% in charge of their pregnancy and birth choices.

Center for Midwifery and Women’s Health

This is a wonderful midwife practice with some highly trained, well educated, kind and supportive midwives. They are amazing and my absolute favorite is Midwife Paula Senner. She delivered my oldest child 14 years ago and it was because of her that I was able to have a wonderful vaginal birth experience. Now I get to work with her helping other Moms make their birthing dreams come true.
