"I had the incredible opportunity to work with midwife Jenna extensively throughout my third trimester. At the time, there was some uncertainty regarding my baby's due date and how it lined up with other logistical matters, but Jenna was always our family's rock in it all. After the very first appointment with her, I had the rest of my prenatal care scheduled with her. She is caring, thorough, empathetic, knowledgeable, and everything else you could possibly want in a midwife. Our appointments were always genuinly a fun time, and I looked forward to every single one. Some of the biggest reasons as to why I sought out midwifery care to begin with were my values for medical freedom and informed consent, both of which were easily met, and with open arms. I also really wanted a provider that I could see as more than a "provider." It was my first pregnancy, and it being such a vulnerable and powerful time, I wanted care that felt more than just medical obligation, it had to be personal and have genuine connection. If I couldn't envision myself being friends with and hosting my provider over coffee or dinner, I couldn't imagine them monitoring my pregnancy, let alone delivering my baby. I will happily hire the midwives at Solstice Midwifery in the future. We practically consider them part of the family, and completely trust them with the health and well-being of myself, and any future babies we may be blessed with."

"I have 3 kids and delivered both my girls with the help of Jamie, Samantha and Jenna. They are an incredible team and I was so blessed to have them. They listened to what I wanted and needed and pushed me beyond my limits. I delivered my firstborn at a hospital and ended up getting an epidural and having a more traumatic birth but with Jamie, Samantha and Jenna they really encouraged me to feel my body and push when I needed to. Samantha was incredible at getting me to try new positions to lower my girl. She also knew I needed to get out of the tub since it was slowing down my contractions. Without them, I don’t think I would’ve been able to labor without epidural which was my goal. I highly recommend them to all my pregnant friends!"

"Hands down my favorite birth was with Solstice! After my first two in a birth center, I knew this would be my last chance for a homebirth and my only regret is not doing it sooner. I transferred from another homebirth practice about halfway through my pregnancy and am so thankful for their patience and respect as I navigated my decisions. The prenatal care was amazing, thorough, and cozy in their office. It felt like meeting with very, very knowledgeable and caring friends. They laid out all options and supported me in my decisions. I felt like I had total autonomy the entire time I was in their care. My children were welcomed and included when they needed to tag along, and a midwife even came out to my house when I couldn’t go to them. The birth was beautiful. They were present but not intrusive. I felt so confident with their expertise guiding me and empowering me to birth my baby. Finally, my FAVORITE part, was the postpartum care. Having them come check on both me and my baby for the days and weeks after the birth was worth everything. I am just so so thankful for these midwives. I wish I could have more babies just to work with them again!!"

"Working with Solstice Midwifery gave me the kind of care every mother deserves. At each appointment, my questions and concerns were met with knowledge and empathy. Jamie and Sam supported me with such patience and love as I brought our baby into the world! I am so grateful they were part of our birth team!"

"I’ve had three births and was blessed to have Jamie there for my third. My birth was everything I wanted it to be and I credit Jamie with that. Before birth, she worked hard to understand what I hoped for and to understand the previous trauma from another birth. She brought a calm and encouraging energy to my birth. Jamie provides a space for you to be exactly who you are—she feels safe. For anyone considering a home birth, Jamie (and Sam who is equally as amazing) excel in evidence-based birth. You will not regret working with them. Come as you are, these midwives will welcome you with open arms and are the best baby catchers I know."

"Solstice delivered my baby at home in July! I myself am a physician assistant and was SO grateful with how they handled my delivery. They ensured me and my baby were safe and walked me through every part of the process from prenatal to postnatal. They are VERY thorough and ensure the provide the best care to you and your family. I have been to other birthing centers and they hands down are superior! They were not only so helpful for me, but ALSO guiding my husband and my 1.5 yr old when welcoming our little man and transitioning to a family of four. I 10/10 recommend them! You wont regret it :) Pic below of my sweet little bean."

"We hired Solstice for the birth of our first, and I could not have been more impressed with the care. They always answered our questions, took extra time as needed, and we felt very safe in their care. Very happy with our decision to have our son born at home with them present. They even came to our house often which was a big help in the postpartum."

"Jamie is an amazing person and an even more amazing midwife. I had an uneventful pregnancy up until labor and she help me navigate the healthcare system and advocated on my behalf to ensure that I had (as close to) the birth that I wanted, even though we had to transition to a hospital. Her care and knowledge about birth and the birth process was always welcomed and non-judgmental. She was easy to talk to and ask questions and always laid out the options and what the benefits and drawbacks were of the decisions needed to be made. She clearly loves birth work and she gave wonderful advice and recommendations for just about every ailment, pain or issue that arose. I honestly can not imagine going through the birthing process without her in my corner. Thank you Jamie!"
