Dear Ruth, Of course and most profoundly, Thank you! I am so happy I found The Birth Center. To me, this place is an oasis in a dry land. Dramatic, I know, but that is how I perceive it. Coming from Portland and Santa Cruz (Chris), the lack of holistic, natural or otherwise “alternative” options for giving birth was a little shocking to me. Not only were you the only midwife who called me back- you were the only one with a center, tools, amenities, etc.. I am now fully convinced that you are the only care provider I could have had for so many reasons. I appreciate your open and frank manner. Contrary to what you saw during labor, I am not typically an emotional person and prefer people who are matter-of-fact and direct. This is what I found when we first met and grilled you to death! I was so pleased to finally have found a home for my care. I was impressed by...

Thank you Ruth for your knowledge, patience, caring and skill. I couldn't ask for better at Oris's birth. He is a gift!

Ruth, Thank you so much for making our birth experience so amazing. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The work you do can be under appreciated but it is so vital and I'm so happy we found you.

Finding out about The Birth Center and transferring my prenatal care to Ruth was the best decision I have ever made for myself and my daughter. Not knowing about The Birth Center, I started out my care with a regular OBGYN doctor. While under this doctor’s care, I was constantly being treated as though my pregnancy was a disease. Instead of focusing on how I should take care of myself, at every appointment that doctor emphasized all the possible complications which could occur in my pregnancy. I was constantly being kept in a state of worried stress, which was not good for me or my unborn child. I knew that pregnancy is a natural part of a woman’s life and women have been giving birth naturally for thousands of years, so I began to look for a place which could provide me with a birthing environment where I can feel comfortable and well cared for. The Birth Center proved to be just that. Ruth, along with...

"It was great to be treated with so much respect and for my birth plan to be adhered to, I really liked their philosophy of no routine IV'S, episiotomies, or fasting! I didn't want to be stuck in a bed with some monitor strapped to me, forced to lay there eating nothing but ice chips! I had my husband right at my side along with my doula, Maria, who fed me energy bars and o.j. to keep me going throughout my long labor. We videotaped the happy occasion from start to finish, took photos together, had breakfast in bed, and then the entire family took a little nap before going home! It was a wonderful experience, something every woman should be entitled to, truly a great way for a family to be born!"

"I would like to thank ALL the wonderful staff at The Birth Center for their outstanding contribution to this birth. I always felt welcomed and taken care of at my check-ups, got my question and concerns answered, and felt like they all really took part in this pregnancy. As a mom, I felt nurtured and encouraged and I still find some excuse to go and see them every once in a while. Every time I step through the door at The Birth Center, this joyful experience lives up again. I can only say that everyone who goes there will be in the best care."

"I would just have to say that Alison's birth was the most amazing, wonderful experience I've ever had. There was not much pain and my body just did its own thing for the most part—I just followed its lead! I would not want to do this any other way—and I think my husband agrees. He was a little wary at first, and other people scared him with their birth stories, but after going through everything he just couldn't say enough good things! We will definitely be coming back to The Birth Center for our second child in a few years—yay for natural childbirth!!"
