Customer Reviews
From care providers to friends
I’ve had the privilege of being with Kara and Julie since my first pregnancy in 2010. Their many years of combined expertise along with passion for women’s care is a rarity. They take time with their mamas offering a friendly and safe place to navigate pregnancy and birth. And bonus....I can see them for all my female related concerns throughout my life time. You may start as a ‘patient’, but can continue as a friend.
