We delivered our son Jonah at St. Luke’s on March 12, 2006 with Hokhmah and assistant Olivia guiding the way. The loving and expert care given to us during my pregnancy by Yeshi, Cynthia and Hokhmah went beyond our expectations. We wanted to give birth naturally and use medical interventions only when necessary, and chose a Homestyle birth at St. Luke’s for this reason. But this midwifery practice was so much more than we could have ever requested in any birth “plan”. They provided the most attentive care I have ever received from a health care practitioner, and we especially enjoyed the community they created where we could meet other March due-date parents and share thoughts, fears, and excitement about the upcoming birth. At Jonah’s birth, Hokhmah was not only a professional, but a steady guide, whose wisdom and warmth supported me through the most intense journey of my life. We feel so blessed to have had Homestyle help us bring Jonah into our lives. They will always be a part of our family.
