"My wife’s labor went on far longer than any of us could have predicted and Alicia was on the phone, at our house, and at the hospital with a moment’s notice. She provided a level of emotional and physical (and nutritional!) support we didn’t even realize we would need. Our incredible daughter came into the world safely and naturally. Alicia is as much, or more, the reason for that as the medical team. We could not be more grateful.

"Alicia attended my prenatal midwife appointments and the home birth of my second son. She provided a comforting, confident energy throughout the entire process that helped set the tone for my pregnancy and birth experience. She provided helpful information and an open, warm space to aid my nerves and doubts. At my home birth, Alicia's soothing words guided me through the ebbs and flows of labor. She was alert, attentive and calm which empowered me to have the peaceful, intimate, precious birth that I wanted. I am so grateful to have had Alicia's presence at our son's birth.

"We couldn’t have asked for a better doula than Alicia. She was incredibly helpful in the months leading up to us meeting our daughter; always there with encouragement, to answer a question, or to offer advice. And in a birth where so many things went unexpectedly -through laboring at home, through the entire gamut of augmentation, through the unplanned c-section- her presence was an immeasurable comfort and her wisdom and guidance were absolutely essential. She’s the real deal and I can not recommend her enough.

"Alicia was one of my midwives throughout my pregnancy and birth. During my pregnancy she was respectful of my wishes and on top of my prenatal chart. At the time I knew she was extremely busy and stressed as she was finishing up midwifery school but she never made me feel that way when she was caring for me. My birth had some pretty scary compilcations yet she and her teacher, my other midwife Darynee Blount handled them efficiently and with grace. I was aware of the severity of my complications as it was happening but I was calm because of the full faith and trust I had in Alicia and Darynee. I knew I was in good hands. I love Alicia. She has a superb work ethic, better then many I have encountered."

"Alicia is lovely! She assisted with my birth and encapsulated my placenta. Easy to speak with and happy to answer all questions no matter how minute or silly. If we have any more kids we are definitely asking Alicia to assist and do the encapsulation again."

"I met Alicia in 2013 with Birth Roots. She was present at many of my prenatal visits. She was always very caring, knowledgeable and has such a great vibe, she makes it easy to be relaxed and comfortable with her. It was important to me that I can be 100% myself and relaxed with the midwives and doulas that will be present. Alicia was awesome during my HBA2C (home birth after 2 cesareans) Alicia was loving, caring, considerate, patient, and knowledgeable. She never made us feel like "do this, do that" and since I was a VBAC I knew there were some extra concerns but she never made me feel scared or like I should be worried. She made me feel 100% capable and strong throughout my labor and sons birth. It was an amazing experience and I hold her and the rest of my midwife team so close to my heart. My son is 2 1/2 now and I still can remember all the details of his birth and how Alicia made me feel strong and after my son was born we were all so touched and feeling proud and pure joy! Best moment ever. Alicia did all my sons after birth check ups, vitals, weight, measurements and that was after I had plenty of time with him bonding and nursing. I never felt rushed. It was like having family over and they helped me birth my baby and then we ate, picked up and took photos! That was just our experience and we'll never forget it. Thank you Alicia for helping me overcome my emotions I carried from my 2 previous attempted natural births with my older boys and for being present and such a huge role during my 3rd borns beautiful home birth. I can go on and on!"

"Alicia is a wonderful midwife! She included my toddler in every visit, which we both loved! He knew every step by the time number 2 arrived. She has a calming presence to her which I feel if very important while bringing a new life into this world. She even stayed with us threw a hospital transfer (our choice, non emergency) and Kept our family in the waiting room informed. I don't have a single bad thing to say about her professionally or personally! She is just amazing!!"

"This review is long-overdue:
Kind. Professional. Honest. Respectful. Patient. Humorous. Educated. Prepared. Communicative. Genuine. Sympathetic. Mobile (yes, she travels to you). I am sure the list can extend, but these are the primary descriptions that I think of when I think of Alicia (and my prenatal/postpartum experience under her care).
Bonus: she is an awesome friend."
