Motherly Transitions

There is no doubt Priscilla is doing what she’s been called to do. I can’t say enough good things about her and her practice. As a first time mom, she made the unknowns of pregnancy, birth and postpartum so much easier to navigate. Her prenatal care goes above and beyond just routine checkups. She’s available 24/7 to address any questions or concerns. She also gives a wonderful prenatal massage - highly recommend! One of the things I appreciated most about Priscilla was that I never got any pushback for the decisions I made throughout my pregnancy & birth. She simply provided me with the information I needed to make my decision, let me do so on my own, and fully supported me in whatever I chose. That gave me the confidence I needed to have the home birth of my dreams. During labor and birth, she was such a calming presence & I had no doubt I was in good hands. It also meant so much to me that I didn’t feel alone or without support postpartum. I think many moms feel that way after giving birth, but I’ve reached out several times with questions since having my baby and she’s helped every time. She’s just great at what she does. My husband & I plan to use her for all of our babies!

I had originally signed up as a doula client, but decided super late in the game (38 weeks) that I would like to have a home birth. I just couldn’t imagine having birth strapped to equipment and required to labor and deliver according to what someone else dictated… Not to mention the increased risk of interventions and c-section associated with hospital deliveries. So, home birth here we come! And we did!

In very short order Priscilla had me transitioned to a midwife client, set me up with a billing specialist that got it all covered by my insurance (thank you VERY much), and provided me with amazing in-home care that was convenient, comfortable, and completely collaborative. I never felt pressured about anything and felt like I was being well informed every step of the journey from the beginning of our care through postpartum.

The birth was fast! Priscilla had Jennifer head over ahead of her since Jennifer was closer to me. It was a good thing since baby arrived just 15-20 minutes after Jennifer! Both Priscilla and Jennifer were very reassuring, professional and effective. I felt very safe and taken care of, which was important for me. The after care was amazing— all in home!

I would recommend Motherly Transitions to anyone. Do it! You won’t regret it.

Excellent midwife care! Priscilla was very knowledgable and really took her time at each of my appointments to address all my questions and concerns. I felt very cared for each time I went in as well as throughout labor and birth. I will be using Priscilla again next time I have a baby and can’t recommend her enough!! :)

For anyone looking to have a home birth and quality prenatal care, I highly recommend Priscilla.

When we found out we were going to have our fourth baby. We knew we wanted to hire a midwife for my prenatal care and try for a home birth. From the moment I spoke to Priscilla on the phone for the first time I knew I wanted her as my midwife. My husband also knew right away when we met her in person. She was immediately invested in my well being, really listened to my experiences with my previous births and asked a lot of great questions to ensure that she really had a good picture of my birth history and current health so that she could provide the best care possible. We always enjoyed our prenatal appointments. The fact that she comes to you is such a blessing, especially since we had 3 little ones. It always felt like a friend was coming to visit and not just a provider coming to give a service. Priscilla will always take the time to listen and answer your questions.

When it came time for baby to come she arrived at around 10:30pm on February 13th and immediately started to get everything ready all while maintaining a peaceful calming presence. She and my husband where helping me get through my contractions and after my water broke she checked me and even though I was dilated to an 8 we realized baby was still high in my pelvis and she knew just what to do. She had me change positions and literally from just that one suggestion everything moved quickly. I didn't realize how close baby was to coming and asked to use the restroom. Priscilla and my husband helped me to restroom and then she continued to try and set up the birth pool which was a harder than normal task as our hot water had run out so she was in the process of boiling pots of water to try and fill the pool. So they help me to the restroom and I suddenly feel the baby's head, intense pressure and my body taking over. I yelled "head pressure" and Priscilla literally runs and slides in on her knees into our tiny bathroom to catch our baby! It all happened so fast and Priscilla handled it like a BOSS! Because of my previous history of hemorrhaging Priscilla made sure to stay until she was sure my bleeding was under control. I felt very safe and taken care of and wish everyone had someone like Priscilla supporting them through their pregnancy, labor and postpartum care.

We are just so grateful that God put her in our lives and for the wonderful care she provided. If you really want to be taken care of during your pregnancy and birth hire Priscilla!

Thank you, Priscilla, for giving our family an incredible home birth experience. I wish that everyone could experience having you as their midwife.

To all those that are considering a home birth, I highly recommend Priscilla. She listens to your needs and concerns to ensure that you have the best experience possible. I was not confident that my OB would provide me with a natural birth experience so I reached out to Priscilla in my third trimester for her help - and I'm so glad I did! From the very beginning, she worked with me to help flip my breech baby. Plus, it was so convenient having her come to my home for health visits where she would spend over an hour each visit going over all my questions and concerns and create a game plan for the following week. She is so knowledgeable and really cares about your needs to ensure that you are completely taken care of. She also has excellent recommendations on herbs and teas to prep your body for birth.

As my due date came and went, she closely monitored the baby and me with weekly wellness and ultrasounds appts to give me the confidence to wait for natural labor to begin. Once labor began, she was very responsive on the phone to help me through early labor and, when I wasn't sure, she drove to my home immediately to check how I was doing and offered to stay with me. I decided to get some rest and a few hours later went into active labor in the middle of the night and she rushed over to be there. Through the labor experience, she was checking vitals, suggesting labor positions and giving words of encouragement. The baby was birthed with her umbilical cord wrapped around her neck. Priscilla remained calm and took action quickly while still leaving the cord attached to the placenta for optimal health benefits for the baby. After I gave birth, she drew an herbal bath for me and the baby and cleaned the room while we relaxed in the tub. The following day she came and checked on us to ensure we were both healthy and recovering. Because of her birthing technique, I did not tear and had very minimal bleeding and felt great afterward. She continues to check in on me and the baby and has come to my house for postpartum visits. Her lactation knowledge helped my baby with tongue-tie; now, she is breastfeeding well with a great latch. I can even pump extra milk and have Priscilla dry freeze milk for easy on-the-go breast milk.

As you can see I am very happy with my experience and I only wish more women had this experience. I feel so blessed to have Priscilla be there, it is one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Im recovering so well and I know it’s 100% because of her.

Thank you Priscilla!
