I cannot recommend Rophe and Eden Birth Services enough. I was referred to Rophe by a local midwife who recommended her, and I reachd out in my second trimester. We had an initial zoom call to meet each other and so that I could ask some initial questions, and I had no reservations about working with her from the beginning. She was always available to answer any question I had, I could text her at any time about any random pregnancy related thing (which was super helpful and reassuring since this was my first pregnancy and I had no idea what I was doing!)
She shared a lot of helpful resources so I could educate myself, as well as her own opinion and experience on things when I asked. I was birthing at South Shore Hospital so working with someone who was familiar with the facility and staff there was also important to me - by my due date in Dec 2021 she would have worked with dozens of mothers birthing at the same hospital, so that was a big plus. I was 2 weeks past my due date before the baby dcided to make his debut, and when the time came she was right there on speed dial alleviating any concerns I had from the time I got to the hospital til the moment we realized 'this baby is coming soon!' and she was in my room within 20 minutes. She was a voice of calm, support, and reassurance throughout the whole birth experience. I wanted to have an unmedicated birth but wasn't sure if I'd be able to handle the pain - thanks to her coaching and guidance and helpful support in discussions with the nurses and midwives I was able to avoid any unnecessary interventions, labor without any pain medication, and have probably as close to a 'dream birth experience' as I could've hoped for.
On top of that, I had gone for the placenta encapsulation and asked for them to make a print of my placenta as a keepsake - I was floored with how beautiful it turned out.
11/10 stars for Eden Birth Services.
