Couple weeks after we moved to the North Shore, we met with Vera Berard and Brangwynne Purcell. In fact, they were one of the first people we met here. After our interview we were certain that we wanted midwifery care.
I feel the need to write a recommendation about North Shore Midwifery Care because we had an amazingly positive experience. Our midwives were extremely knowledgeable, confident, and professional.
In my journey into motherhood I thought I was going to be provided with a list of what-to-do’s and don’ts. As soon as I met with our midwives I realized that this was not their style of providing care. They took an objective and respectful stance to any decision we made. They provided us with information and supported us in our choices. Their warmth and empathic engagement made it such a memorable experience for us. When I look back, I realize that their support in allowing me to ‘own’ my experience while providing professional guidance prepared me in being a mother who trusts her own inner knowing.
And, yes, if there is a next time, without a doubt, we’ll call to schedule our prenatal visit with North Shore Midwifery Care!”
