Testimonial for Vanessa Lewis, CPM (Cert Professional Midwife), CBD, PEP
Vanessa has a pretty website. Vanessa boosts that she has attended many births but I would not recommend her if your belief systems don't align. I would describe hers as being very religious and a supporter of the all natural homepathic remedies of which have a place and fit a certain client. I am not into either. I wish I was more choice when searching but I got caught up in her sales pitch.
Heres why I don't suggest her services: While working with Vanessa, she introduced and recommended a CPM (Midwife) of which we hired - this is Vanessas mentor. Vanessa and this midwife felt I was the perfect candidate for a home birth - I was excited and defaulted to Vanessa for all things pregnancy related. As the time neared for the baby to come, Vanessa kept telling me to do various things to induce labor but nothing was working. I was brainwashed into avoiding the hospital for fear of induction and was told repeatedly that first-time babies are late. I listened. Sadly, we lost the baby around 42 weeks - while I don't have an answer as to why, I do feel Vanessa and the midwife she mentors under (Vanessa wants to become a midwife) both neglected all the signs it was time to go to the hospital.
