After having a very prolonged labor at home, we ended up having a hospital transfer, and after another 24 hours ended up having the baby with the help of forceps. While the delivery was not what we had hoped for, the thing that was excellent was that Kate and her assistant were there with us every step of the way and never left us during the entire time (two-and-a-half days!)...Having an educated team with us made all the difference...Kate knew when to recommend a hospital...and knew the OB/GYN at that certain hospital that would help us with the most natural delivery possible. Without her knowledge and experience...I don't know that the birth would have turned out the way it did.

I liked how thorough my midwifery care was, and how Kate listened to my incessant babbling at every appointment!! We had options and all of the info we needed to make a great choice. I could get ahold of Kate whenever I needed her (so great!). I am so grateful for the encouragement we got, especially in light of the push-back we got from our families about having a home birth. We always felt confident and comfortable with Kate’s training and experience.

It was a transformative process working with Kate. We became empowered to believe the birthing process could be a positive one and different from our first birth, which was not a positive experience. Working with Kate healed a lot of our past wounds from a traumatic delivery.

I am so grateful I had Sarah as my midwife with the TCM team behind her. I never regretted my decision to have a homebirth thanks to their incredible dedication to the quality of their care. Her professionalism and calm, clear, style made this journey so much easier and helped me focus on having the best experience possible. Sarah navigated every step with grace, intelligence, and kindness. She was always thorough in explanations and education, taking time to answer all my questions. This was my first pregnancy and I felt Sarah always went above and beyond to guide me and my birth team.

Kate did a fabulous job balancing informed consent with freedom to make our own decisions. For the first time in my interaction with any healthcare system, I felt like I was asked and informed about every aspect of my care. When I needed to make decisions, Kate offered so much information that helped me choose what was best for myself and my family. Kate also was so present-- at prenatal appointments, the birth, and postpartum visits.

My husband was a little uneasy about the idea of home births at first. That is until our first visit with Kate. She used facts and statistics, as well as her own personal experience, to expel any myths we held concerning this topic. She made us both feel completely comfortable about having a home birth and that our decision to have a home birth was not only smart but also very healthy for both mom and baby.

Kate is such a caring and competent provider.  She places a high value on providing her clients with the best possible information so that they can make their own informed decisions about the care they receive.  My wife and I were so blessed to have had Kate deliver our firstborn son at home. It was an amazing experience that we will cherish always.

I'm so grateful to Twin Cities Midwifery for giving me such respectful and thorough prenatal care and a beautiful VBAC attempt with my second child I felt like I had a trusted partner every step of the way. I felt empowered me to make decisions about my care that were right for my family. I also felt so much more prepared for childbirth than I did with my first child. TCM's model provided so much time for education and thoughtful discussion.

- Second-Time Mom

I have never experienced care that was so informative. Every test/procedure/option is presented in a clear and informative way. Pros and cons are discussed and I have never had anything done that I didn't fully understand. Kate makes pregnancy so client centered that it leaves me questioning why every aspect of health and wellness isn't like a pregnancy or birth with Kate.

– Paige, third-time mom

Having both a hospital/OBGYN birth and home birth with Kate, I can without hesitation say that my experience with Kate was the best. She is not only warm and caring, but professional and knowledgeable. I felt the care I received was so much more personal and thorough than the standard medical care, from prenatal to birth to postnatal.  Kate has delivered two of my babies, and I know if I ever have another she will deliver that one as well.

– Melanie, third-time mom 

Kate and her team were so professional and thorough. Yet at the same time they cultivated personal relationships with everyone involved, including the kids and I. It made the whole birth process quite an amazing experience! Almost makes us want to have more kids just for another great experience with Kate and her team.

[It was] wonderful to be able to bring the siblings to each check-up and have them involved in the process as well. Kate let my little ones help with checking the heartbeat, measuring my belly and just keeping them involved so they felt like they were part of the whole process too, not getting lost in the excitement of a new baby.

– Emily, third-time mom

Having had both a hospital and home birth now, I can tell you I would choose the home birth experience with TCM over any other option in a heartbeat. Thank you Kate and Sarah! You gave me the greatest gift a mother could ask for!

- Second-Time Parent

You completely exceeded our expectations and made us feel so comfortable with our choices. The level of support you provide pre, post, and during the birth are above and beyond and for that we are very thankful. Thanks for being a part of our final birth journey!
