Kind Words from past clients
I am so grateful God brought me Moira and Allie! When I first found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted to really consider my care providers and birth plan. Immediately after meeting the midwives I knew I wanted to work with them and have a home birth! From the very beginning Moira and Allie were knowledgeable, caring, and honest with me. They valued me, my family as a whole, and my desires for my pregnancy and birth. I was able to have the empowering home birth I had dreamt of and prayed for thanks to Moira and Allie! While this was just my first baby, I can’t wait to work with Rooted In Love again in the future!

Moira & Allie provided such wonderful care for my second pregnancy and first home birth! After a difficult first birth this one was very redemptive. They are very skilled and thorough but also laid back enough that I felt very much in charge of my body & birth experience. The support they gave our family was just right! The postpartum care was really a blessing as we worked through difficulties breastfeeding, jaundice and thrush. I have a lot of confidence in Moira & Allie and recommend them to anyone who wants to pursue a home birth!

It's difficult to put into words the gratitude I have for the gift that these two women gave to me. This was my 4th pregnancy and after having 3 hospital births I knew that I wanted a home birth. Even though this wasn't my first pregnancy, I learned so much from them. I felt empowered for the first time during pregnancy and labor because for the first time I felt truly educated in my options and in control of the entire experience. After being given all of the information at a visit, I was able to choose to have as much or as little medical intervention as I was comfortable with. My labor was such a beautiful experience that I will never ever forget.
