Adelaine responded immediately to my inquiry with a very warm phone message, upfront pricing and an openness to get together and just talk to see if we'd be a good fit. My husband and I both took to her immediately and hired her for the birth of our first child. Adelaine is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about her work, but works very humbly as a guide through this incredible journey without judgement or pressure to let the experience unfold as it should for you. My birth story: My water broke at 5AM, Adelaine came to our house at 11:30AM because contractions were heating up and we wanted to stay at home as long as possible. Upon arrival, Adelaine immediately helped me and my husband feel significantly more comfortable with what was happening, began helping me through the contractions to make them more productive with vocal sounds, movement and pressure points within my pelvic area helping the baby move through the birth canal. She gently suggested that we could move to the birth center when we were ready because she was confident that I was in active labor. Thirty minutes later when we arrived at the birth center, now 2:45PM I was 7cm dilated and having frequent and intense contractions. After about an hour and a half of work I was dilated to 10cm and began pushing, after 30 minutes and expert guidance from her all along I had the most beautiful, healthy baby girl in my arms. The midwife was very impressed with how my labor progressed given it was my first child, she was also very impressed with Adelaine and rightfully so as I genuinely feel that having her for my delivery made everything from the communication with my husband to my confidence in giving birth naturally an enormous success and I will be forever grateful for her services. In addition to this incredible birth experience, Adelaine also offered emotional guidance and resources throughout my pregnancy. My husband and I both highly recommend Adelaine!
