a Midwife’s Kaleidoscope

After reading the reviews I was happy that I finally found a midwife that I would like so I sent her an email. No response. She also does not respond to phone calls. My only question was if she takes my insurance. Even if the answer was no it would be nice to know that instead of being ignored!

Sarah Butterfly (and assistant Ada) attended both my sons’ home births. I felt supported and safe throughout my pregnancies, labors and postpartum. When met with obstacles; like unexplained bleeding, questionable ultrasounds, three days of labor, trouble nursing, Sarah was always there with knowledge, guidance and encouragement… and I have two beautiful, healthy, happy babes to show for it!

Birthing at home, even a rental, can be intimate, quiet, fast, and enjoyable. Especially with attentive, loving midwives. Sarah Butterfly attended the births of both of my babies, primary midwife for my youngest. She worked hard at comprehending my transgender identity in a birthing and nursing body, my complicated relationships with family, and how all that affected my pregnancy and birth experiences (which were fast and beautiful, by the way). She whole heartedly trusted my connection to my body, never ever acted like she knew more about me than I do, never made assumptions about the kind of care I wanted, always provided me with as much information as possible AND the attention necessary to support me in those choices. She also showered my incredibly active and curious 2 year old with attention and gave me a shoulder to cry on many times while displaying healthy emotional boundaries. If you are pregnant and thinking about where and how to birth your baby/​s, give A Midwife’s Kaleidoscope a ring for a free consultation. Because you deserve kind, gentle and informed healthcare in pregnancy and beyond.

Sarah Butterfly attended my third child’s birth which was the first homebirth I’ve ever experienced. Throughout my care she was available ²⁴⁄₇ to answer questions and sometimes just offer a pep talk. At 41 weeks, 5 days my third baby decided to come. I didn’t think I was in labor but Sarah somehow just knew to come. Her and her birth assistant and midwife in training, Ada, were amazing at just knowing what I needed when I needed it with little direction from me. Sarah is very non interventionalist, and trusts the birth process and the mother’s instinct like nobody I have ever met. I can’t imagine how I would have gotten through the pregnancy without her calming presence, reassuring words, and complete faith in me and my body. If you feel your ob/​gyn isn’t listening to you, or you’re tired of being pressured into certain «norms», Sarah is the perfect choice for you. She is amazing and I cannot say enough good things about her!!! I could have had a hospital birth and zero out of pocket expense but I chose to switch to her and never looked back. Its a decision I could not be more happy with, and I’m sure you’ll feel the same!!!
