Hiring Dahlyt for my daughter's birth was the smartest move and best investment my family has ever made. From the very first prenatal visit, Dahlyt was responsive, respectful, knowledgeable, direct and clear. She just embodies safe space, and I never had a doubt that my birth was going to be healthy, relaxing, and that I was ultimately in charge, even as I had her wise counsel in case we needed another plan at the last minute.

Best of all, I think of my home birth as a priceless gift to my daughter: to her infant and future health (having avoided unnecessary interventions that can create lasting health complications for the baby, and having Dahlyt's help getting breastfeeding off to a solid start), to our immediate and strong attachment to one another (facilitated by my daughter never leaving my arms after she was born), and our family's emotional health in remembering that moment surrounded only by love, with strength and confidence as a family unit even from the first moment. I can't possibly imagine a more graceful entrance into the world for my daughter. And Dahlyt was there, at the center of it all, making it possible.

I am so lucky to have my sister be my midwife for my first birth experience. What a great journey through pregnancy, delivery, and after. Dahlyt was so very professional, knowledgeable, caring, patient, and fun! I have never received such care, I felt like she went above and beyond than what I ever expected. She gave me so much knowledge, and support through it all. I always felt comfortable to ask any and every question and was met with calming and thoughtful, knowledgeable answers. Support is a major part of home birth and with Dahlyt there was never a lack of it! I felt the baby and I were very much cared for. You never really know what to expect even with taking a hypnobirthing class, reading books, and talking with professionals but with Dahlyt she knew exactly how I was feeling during labor and was able to read through my incoherent sentences to help me get to the beautiful moment when I held my baby in my arms. There was such a calm and assuring atmosphere because of her that I will forever be grateful. Looking forward to having more babies with this beautiful, smart, and caring woman I get to call my sister :)

I just have to say, Dahlyt is one of a kind.

When someone asks me about homebirth, I tell them I honestly can't say homebirth was what made the experience of birthing so pleasant, but my midwife and friend Dahlyt is what formed the momentous occassion. To have a homebirth is not the same experience as having a homebirth with Dahlyt.

Her experience, her care, her love, her priority, her warmth, her attentiveness, her expertise, her intuition, her availability, her presence, her hands-on approach, are each insurmountable (I could go on with a paragraph about each). She are the best in the field, and anyone who uses her is lucky to have been fit into her busy committed schedule.

I can say I look forward to having another baby because my experiences have been so calm, and supportive.

Thank you always, Dahlyt.

Dahlyt has helped bring both my two sons into the world, and I can't imagine giving birth without her. She is strong when you need strength, she is comforting when you need comfort, she is knowledgable when you need knowledge, and she is always calm and kind. The most frightening thing about giving birth for me was leaping into the unknown, and Dahlyt was the perfect guide.

I had my first baby at home and Dahlyt was there with me through my almost two day labor, and supported me in my recovery. My second son came so quickly I barely made it to the hospital, and although my doctor didn't make it on time for the birth, Dahlyt was there with me the whole way. She provides excellent pre-natal and post-natal care, as well as breastfeeding support. She knows her craft, so you know you and your baby are in the best hands possible, and she has a calming voice and soothing aura about her as well. She's the whole package--professionally and inter-personally! I give her the highest recommendation possible.

Dahlyt was our midwife for our second child, and we highly recommend her! She's a wonderfully caring and skilled midwife. We were able to develop a relationship of trust during the prenatal visits, and throughout labor and delivery, she guided us as much or as little as we needed. Her knowledge, encouragement, and healthy sense of humor helped us enjoy the journey of pregnancy and giving birth to our baby!

My husband and I worked with Dahlyt during both of my pregnancies. She exudes such a calming presence and always made us feel extremely comfortable during prenatal visits. She has a very special ability to easily connect with families. For the birth of our son in September 2013, my labor progressed very quickly. When Dahlyt arrived, my husband and I immediately felt so reassured. She efficiently evaluated my progress and quickly prepared everything for the imminent delivery. We are so grateful for the important role she played in our son's birth.

I cannot say enough good things about Dahlyt. I highly recommend her. I used her for my second birth and was so happy that I did. From the moment I met Dahlyt, I felt instantly comfortable with her. She has a really great presence about her that made me feel really relaxed. I knew that this was the energy that I wanted at my birth. 

I was not disappointed, as the sense of calm and comfort that I got when I first met her, was there during my birth as well. Dahlyt also did a really nice job of navigating the tricky balance between offering suggestions and also totally respecting my wishes. Overall, both my husband and I thought that she did a fabulous job, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.
