“I could tell she loved supporting birth. She made me feel like a badass.”

-Megan

  • Incredible Practice

    I worked with Rose and her team for prenatal, birthing, and postpartum care. The support I received was invaluable and healing. Pregnancy and birth are deeply vulnerable and personal experiences and HRW was there every step of the way.

    At every visit, Rose listened, offered context, shared her own personal wisdom, and ultimately supported my informed decisions. Once my little one arrived, Rose remained to guide my partner and me into a healthy postpartum period, connecting us to our community and reminding us of the tools and resources we had.

    I truly felt that I had a team championing not only my meaningful transition into matrescence but also the health and beauty of my little family’s adjustment to our newest member.

  • We felt so safe

    There are no words to describe the gratitude & love we have for the Haw River Midwifery team! This incredible, brilliant team provided excellent care for my whole family as we journeyed together through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. We felt so safe, heard, and nurtured by Rose, Heather, and Hannah. We loved our infant care/ postpartum prep class as well. I recommend them to all my friends and family for support with pregnancy, lactation, and fertility as well as education and well woman care!

  • Class was Invaluable

    Even though I am planning a hospital birth, this class was invaluable to my partner and I. Taught in a warm, intimate setting, this class provided real, useful, hands-on information for a low intervention birth. I left feeling more confident about comfort measures, coping strategies, and a better idea of how to plan for more peaceful encounters with the unknown aspects of birth.

  • Thorough, Thoughtful, Evidence Based, and Honest!

    Hannah's class was thorough, thoughtful, evidence based and honest! I felt like I walked away with a bag of tools for both my mindset in labor and comfort measures for the physiology of birth. There were plenty of opportunities to ask questions, be candid and vulnerable, and be met with responses that were not fear based in anyway. Hannah's knowledge of physiological birth brought realistic expectations of birth and birth settings and reminded me that I can do this! Empowering experience all around. Didn't want it to end! 10/10 recommend! Amazing popcorn skills too if your class gets as lucky as ours did!

Our homebirth with Rose & Heather was absolutely fantastic!

During the pregnancy with our son, I felt very clearly how important it was to me that this birth would be fully led by me; I wanted to birth in my power & as intuitively as possible. We knew that Rose & Heather would be the right women to support us because they trust & love physiological birth fullheartedly (and they are just amazing people!).

During the birth, they were wonderful; they held space for me, my husband, our toddler & our teenager in a way that made us all feel held & engaged, but not managed. They completely trusted me, my intuition, the birth process itself and their own intuition. They were right there when we needed them with all their knowledge & experience, but otherwise very much in the background, trusting & encouraging in a sisterly way.

What we did not anticipate was how absolutely beautiful the postpartum time would be after a homebirth. Rose & Heather tended to each one of us, cleaned up everything, tucked us in bed for our magical first nap altogether. We were all just floating on such a high and it helped us integrate all the changes of having a new baby so much more smoothly than we had known it before. Knowing that they would continue to tend to us & visit us in our cocoon through the coming weeks was perfect - we could process it all & ask all our questions in a relaxed way.

I cannot recommend them high enough for anyone who is interested in birthing their baby in a wholesome & powerful way! Their homebirth practice is really the best thing happening in town!
