McNeill Nora RN LM

As another birth professional in the community I highly recommend Nora. She is incredibly experienced, conscientious and diligent. I appreciate the mature wisdom and generous spirit that she displays not just with clients but those that work in the same community. As a seasoned birth worker, if I were having a baby in Shasta County she is the midwife I would choose.

We had our baby with Nora a week ago. The total labor from first contractions to our beautiful baby girl joining this world was only 2.5 hours. Nora is so supportive and calm. The environment she creates for her clients is unbeatable. If you want a natural birth without all the fear and pressure of a hospital, then call Nora. The prenatal care was awesome. My wife had anemia during the pregnancy. The supplement Nora recommended brought her iron back to normal in 7 days! Her assistant Jan is also super cool and supportive. What a great team. Thank you both for all of your support during that wonderful time.

Nora was amazing! I had wanted to deliver my daughter with a midwife at home and was devastated when I learned that there were no licensed midwives in the entire county I lived in. Nora’s office is located in Redding, CA about 50 miles from my home but it was totally worth the drive for our appointments and on delivery day.
Nora is kind and has a very comfortable practice. I wasn’t able to have a home delivery at my home because she had other patients that could have gone into labor at the same time I was and she needed to be available to them also but it worked out to travel to her location to deliver as my family had just moved to a new house and we were not set up for a baby delivery.
Her labor room is cozy and set up well for couples or entire families. She was totally comfortable with me having family stop by on and off during the labor and allowed me to have a childhood friend present who is studying to be a doula. She let me have who ever and whatever I wanted without a single objection – a luxury I’m sure I would not have had at the hospital. My labor and delivery with Nora was amazing and as painful as childbirth seems, I was comforted the entire time I was with her.
I highly recommend Nora to every pregnant woman in northern California, she recognizes and encourages a woman’s strength and determination to deliver a baby naturally in a relaxed environment and supported every choice I made during my pregnancy and delivery. I really don’t think my experience could have been any better and I look forward to delivering my next child with her as well.
