Free Postpartum Support Group

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.

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.

Kate and her team surrounded our family and were able to support us throughout and after the birth. I feel that TCM occupies that area between the more traditional midwife practice and a professional medical practice. I always felt as if our family was getting medical-grade treatment and attention but without the red tape and stress of being in the medical system. I try to convey to others when recommending TCM: "It's the best care you'll ever get."

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.

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 felt extremely supported and safe during my birthing time. My midwife helped explain everything she was doing and what was going to happen. I had a great experience with Twin Cities Midwifery.

Kate was the most wonderful resource I could have asked for during my first pregnancy. I looked forward to each visit with her, knowing I'd walk away from it feeling more excited, empowered and educated. She does a wonderful job of balancing evidence-based options with empathy and flexibility. Kate's presence and expertise through a difficult labor kept us safe and energized. She was the leader of our team, helping us navigate childbirth while working beautifully with our doulas and family. We feel so fortunate to have found Kate and Twin Cities Midwifery and will never forget her role in bringing our child into this world!

- First-Time Mom

I truly felt that I had a friend/family member with me through my pregnancy, not just a caregiver. I have never felt so much in control of my own health while also feeling so incredibly supported and cared for. TCM made me feel both empowered and safe to be completely vulnerable at the same time.

- Second-Time Parent

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

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.

– Kate, second-time mom

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 love the personalized and gentle care that Kate and her team provide. Their attention to details, no matter how small or insignificant it may seem, is what puts them above and beyond any other care provider we have had.

- Third-Time Parent

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.
