Leon Hart arrived in the comfort of our home, surrounded by our incredible birth team, and into his daddy’s hands on July 29.
His labor and birth were everything I dreamed they would be — calm, peaceful, hands-off, and the most beautiful experience of my life!

I’m forever grateful to have been supported by Ronda and Alexis, two midwives I love dearly, and who have played such a meaningful part in my midwifery journey.

Ronda, as my preceptor, taught me, guided me, and walked with me as I stepped into birth-work, and now she has also walked with me into motherhood. I will never be able to put into words how thankful I am for all her tender care and wisdom.

We are over the moon!

We welcomed our second little girl Aiya on June 29th @ 3:49am in the comfort of home with the support of my mom as our midwife and sweet family friend and assistant Gabby. I know how incredibly rare and special it is to have had this type of support and I am forever grateful. Women are absolutely amazing. Birth is incredible, beautiful and so so hard! I will forever remember this journey and the peaceful entry our little one made to this world. What a gift to have had her grandma as her midwife and her dad there to catch her.

Charlie arrived June 7 @10:47pm weighing 8.14! Birthing my second child with the assistance of my amazing husband, Ronda, and Gabby was an unforgettable experience of empowerment and brought forth the kind of euphoric joy that can only come after a brief time of suffering. During my prenatal care, I was reminded the timing of birth and duration of labor are mysteries to be honored. Hearing this from women who have such a well of knowledge and experience i was an anchor point that empowered me to surrender and trust my baby and my body. During labor, Ronda modeled helpful breathing techniques in moments where I wanted to stiffen up in response to the intensity, Gabby gently rubbed my back to redirect my focus, and my husband attended to my every need for support and encouragement, making this an experience I’ll cherish forever.

Welcoming our baby through a home birth was such a beautiful and meaningful experience for our family. This was actually our second home birth and our second experience being cared for by Ronda and her team, and once again their care and support through pregnancy, labor, and now postpartum has been incredible. During labor they were there for me the whole time when I needed the support and the reminder that I could do this and get through it. Their presence helped me feel cared for, encouraged, and safe during such a special moment. We thank God for His faithfulness, for our precious baby, and for everyone who walked alongside us in this journey. Thank you Ronda, Gabby and Diona! 🙏🏽💕🫶🏽

Magnolia Jane, 8lb 10oz, born on 5/4/26.
We just welcomed our second baby at home under the care and guidance of Ronda and Gabby and had the most beautiful experience! We had a very fast birth, just over 3 hours total, with only 10 minutes of pushing. I felt deeply supported and respected, and felt so confident and sure of myself in my ability to birth. I credit a lot of this to Ronda and her wonderful combination of educational and empowering prenatal care, calm and confident support during the birth, and the best postpartum care in the comfort of my home! We are so grateful to have had this team help us safely birth our two babies at home! Thank you 💖

After a hard and complicated birth experience at the hospital with our first child, we decided to go the homebirth/midwife route with our second baby. We could not be more pleased and thankful for our homebirth experience, and the amazing care we received from Ronda - from the very first phone call to the last post-partum visit. By God’s grace, we welcomed our sweet baby girl, Halle, into the world mid-April in the safe and peaceful walls of our own home. What a sweet and special day that my husband and I will never forget. Attempting a first time vbac at home, I had a number of reservations in the beginning, but I am so grateful we had the privilege of having our baby at home with such a competent, kind, loving, and experienced professional like Ronda. Everything about the birth experience just felt right and like the way it should be. It was by far the hardest and most fulfilling thing I’ve ever done. All glory to God, who sustained me every second, from the first contraction to the final push, and even now in the late night and early mornings!

Thank you Ronda. We love you so much and are beyond grateful for all you did for us.

Zephaniah Joseph was born 4/5/2026 8lbs 20.5 inches. My biggest baby but my easiest labor and delivery. After 4 looonngg hard previous labors, I was nervous to go through labor and delivery again this time.
However, Ronda's steady reassurance and vast knowledge throughout my pregnancy really helped me prepare my mind and body for labor, which made a huge difference. The level of care throughout pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum is truly unmatched, Ronda and Gabby are the best team one could have when bringing a little life into this world. I'm forever grateful for their support and guidance.
