​I cannot say enough good things about Roots & Wings. my labor was HARD, but they were with me every step of the way. They were never overbearing, more like guardian angels watching over me and helping to guide my husband and me.
2 and a half years later, they still support and encourage me. 
They truly are the best thing I've ever invested myself in. God sends.

We were left scrambling to come up with a new provider after baby and co closed. I knew deep down I wanted a home birth but as this was my first pregnancy I was a little hesitant. But the wonderful midwives at Roots and Wings completely erased any fear and hesitancy I had and I am SO GLAD we had a home birth. I had a long, hard labor, baby came out with her cord around her, and my team was so calm, professional, and skilled. I never felt more brave and empowered in my life and it’s all thanks to these ladies. Forever grateful!

    I could not have been more pleased with Roots and Wings Midwifery. Their competent care made me feel heard and understood, lovingly cared for, and professionally and expertly supported. 

    My previous two pregnancies (not tended by R&W, 1st at hospital, 2nd at home) went well beyond my "due date." Consequently, despite both being otherwise healthy normal pregnancies, I was quite familiar with the various fear based responses from OB professionals. Besides seeking professionals experienced and comfortable with being 42 weeks pregnant (eek!) I needed a team of people that were supportive of me and worked in cooperation with other professionals in their field. I was relieved to find that with Rachel and Rebekah. I felt like I had the full expertise and support of classically trained OBGYNs (colleagues of R&W) as well as the personal and pragmatic midwifery care that I craved and needed.​

    Beyond that, I especially valued their calm, quiet and unobtrusive manner during the labor process. It helped me to stay calm and focused and allowed delivery to speed right along. They gave me room to own my own labor and delivery and for that I am immeasurably grateful. That in addition to the rest of their pre and post natal care made for a fantastic bringing-a-baby-into-the-world process.

​I’ve attended and photographed several births that Roots and Wings have been present for. Each and every time I’m in awe at their tender, mindful, educated, safe, mother and baby focused care. Every time I have witnessed them, the births have been different, and the mother needs vastly different but the level of care was always superb. These woman have passion for midwifery like none other, and it’s absolutely beautiful. The nurturing encouragement and quality medical care is exactly what every home birthing person wants. To see the strengths while attending these births as a 3rd person point of view is incredible. They make all members of the birthing persons team feel extremely welcomed and empowered. They not only care for and assist the person in labor, they also are so extremely excited and show the utmost care to your newborn. Witnessing the care of Roots and Wings from the beginning of labor to empowering mothers and caring for newborn babies has been a privilege. Their standard of care should be a model for others.

I had the pleasure of having the roots and wings team along my side throughout my pregnancy and after baby got here. The attentiveness and love from these three ladies is incredible!! They are so kind, explanatory and understanding of everything. as a first time mom, my anxieties of having a baby and even everything after have been high and Rachel, Libby and Rebekah have gone above and beyond to make me comfortable! I recommend them to anyone who wants a natural home birth. I hope to have them by my side with our next baby!

They truly care about you as a person. Wonderful midwives that put you and baby first. I’ve had the privilege of seeing them work and being their patient in office. I highly recommend them to anyone interested in home birth!

I never thought I would have a homebirth. Then the local birth center closed out from under me about halfway through my pregnancy and I struggled with the thought of delivering in a hospital again. Rachel, Rebekah, and Libby immediately put us at ease about our decision to have a homebirth. My prenatal care felt more like conversing with friends than medical appointments. It all felt like just a normal part of life! They gave me emotional support through my physically challenging pregnancy and my prodromal labor. Our homebirth was an amazing experience and I wish I had had the courage to birth at home sooner than my 4th baby! Love these women and the tremendous service they provide!

I can not say enough good things about Roots and Wings midwifery! I looked forward to every single prenatal and postpartum visit! I ended up going into preterm labor and Rachel Chandler was with us every step of the way. My husband and I were so grateful for her. She met us at the hospital and sat with us through it all and her knowledge and kindness calmed the whole setting as soon as she entered. From beginning to end we felt such a genuine level of care and friendship from these amazing midwives!
