Homestyle Midwifery has created a truly unique home-in-philosophy but hospital-based-in-location approach to pre/post natal care and childbirth. We were thrilled to find such a balanced and perfect fit for our needs as an expectant couple.
From the beginning of our care, Cynthia and Yeshi provided holistic, nurturing, knowledgeable, responsive and loving care that set the stage for our daughter Amaya Skye’s magical and peaceful birth. They always spent as long with us in person or on the phone as we needed, and provided a vast array and combination of western and “alternative” approaches to health and well-being from the earliest days through Amaya’s second month in the world. They transformed a regular old hospital room into the most intimate, peaceful and warm environment to labor in and welcome our baby. When we met with medical complications after Amaya’s birth, Cynthia was skilled and calm and allowed the magic of the experience to continue throughout the necessary procedures. For that, we are endlessly grateful.
Having trust in your provider is one of the most critical components of preparing to give birth, and we never could have imagined just how deep that trust would become and how much it would inform our birth experience. The combination of home, group, and office-based visits was integral to this development. And it doesn’t just stop with the birth – having such immediate and personalized care in those first weeks after Amaya’s birth was invaluable. They responded to our endless questions as new parents with specific and reassuring recommendations.
Cynthia and Yeshi inspire the utmost confidence with their wisdom, expertise, and philosophical approach to the profound life transitions of pregnancy and birth. They are as passionate about their work as they are skilled at it; as knowledgeable as they are driven by their holistic philosophy; and as committed to a broader vision of community building – and its relevance for childbirth and raising healthy communities – as they are to their attentive individual care and relationship-building. We can’t thank Homestyle enough for everything they did for us. This experience will be with us always, and has started Amaya’s life off on such a profoundly perfect note.
