What families say

There really are not words for the gift Kattrina and Tabitha gave us, but I will do my best to come up with some anyway... I recently had my first child, and worked with Kattrina since the first few weeks of my pregnancy. During the entire pregnancy, I felt so deeply supported by her.

★★★★★ — Samantha, 2026-03

Highly recommend Kattrina for a midwife! I had my first child in May of this year. She was such an encouraging and supportive person to have throughout my pregnancy and birth experience. Both her and her sister do such an amazing job to make you feel welcome and comfortable.

★★★★★ — Grace, 2025-07

Kattrina and her team are a caring group and a wealth of knowledge. I felt safe in all aspects of my appointments and home birth. I was given true informed consent with pros and cons for all decisions I needed to make. I felt supported and had the home birth of my dreams!

★★★★★ — Kaitlyn, 2025-10

I don’t even know where to begin to explain how much love and appreciation I have for Kattrina and Tabitha. I’ll start out by saying it was a God thing. Having a homebirth was something that I had always dreamed of but felt out of reach because I didn’t know where to begin.
