"Ann is a wonderful caring, professional, and gifted midwife. She was am incredible blessing at the birth of our second child Grace. She was patient, encouraging, and confident. Our home birth was an exciting and enjoyable experience and one that I look forward to repeating with Ann at our sides."

"Ann was a great help. She and her team of apprentices were always attentive in listening to my cares and concerns during our visits. I didn't feel rushed or that her mind and theirs were elsewhere. Throughout the whole process and during each visit, I felt more honored and empowered than the previous time together. So as the delivery date approaches, I felt myself feeling more confident at being able to deliver our baby at home.

Ann's extraordinary level of services did not just stop there. It is not unusual for her to ask how we were coming along in our marriage relationship. We try to fix appointments where my husband could be there as well. As a result, he became more attuned to the fluctuating emotions of my pregnancy and provided often the right support which otherwise I would have trouble articulating myself. I guess you can say an added service that Ann provides is her ability to teach a willing husband how to be a better supporter and partner!I would highly recommend Ann Crowell to anyone considering a gentle beginning birth.

Although a remarkably skilled professional, Ann extended herself to us more like a family friend. We had more than just a client relationship. Together, we worked to bring our little Markus Paul with great gentleness and love into the world. Because of this gentle beginning, I carry with me the standard to continue this philosophy in my raising of Markus. Today, Ann has become a wonderful family friend. Thanks Ann for all that you did and still do! "
