"Desirae is an amazing midwife that our entire family highly recommends. She was a guiding light during multiple early pregnancy losses and eventually the birth of our daughter. We partnered with Desirae throughout our journey and always felt heard, understood and respected. She dedicated the time needed during each appointment so that we always left feeling confident. It was a judgement free environment that promoted the dignity and respect of everyone. Aside from general care, Desirae also delivered our first baby. She was encouraging, trusting and allowed the natural rhythm and timing of birth to unfold. There was no pressure and unwavering support. All of the birth preferences we had were respected and available under the midwifery model. On top of it all, my husband felt included, present and respected during the labor and delivery. We are SO very grateful for the midwifery care model and HIGHLY recommend it."

"I was a little unsure when my annual appointment was rescheduled with a Midwife…but Desirae was fantastic. She explained everything in simple detail and talked me through every step of the exam. Both professional and friendly to put me the most at ease I’ve ever been in this appointment."

"Desirae is incredible! She takes the time to walk through everything, answer questions, and makes you feel heard. She’s kind and genuinely cares about you as a patient and works with you to make your birth AND postpartum plan. She sincerely listens to your preferences and provides her advice and support and she is so knowledgeable and up to date with research and best practices. I would recommend her to everyone looking for a midwife for prenatal care or general women’s health!"

"I had the best experience! Desirae took her time with me and was patient! She was also very detailed in her answers with my husband and I leaving no additional questions! She even wrote down the over the counter medications that would help me, so we wouldn’t forget them! Would recommend her to anyone!"

"Desirae was terrific: thorough and knowledgeable, sharing the “why” of her recommendation. She also took time to understand my life and was easy to talk to. During the exam, Desirae described what she was about to do, any sensation to expect, and verbally shared all she was seeing in real time (which gave me an opportunity to ask follow up questions). She approached the time as a partner in my healthcare. BTW, I loved the online scheduling tool and the ability to book an appointment without logging into a portal. It was much quicker and easier."
