We have been blessed to have Joey be our midwife through 2 pregnancies. Prior to that, Joey had been our lactation consultant. Whether it's preterm contractions, dealing with thrush, or concerns about delivery, Joey has been there any time to help. Our first labor with Joey was perfect, our second didn't follow our birthing goals. Joey stepped up both times with her qualified assistants to provide us with the best labor and delivery experience possible! Probably my favorite thing about going from conventional doctors and hospital deliveries to Joey has been her availability to answer questions, help, and support whenever we need it! When our second child got a fever at 3 weeks old at 4am she answered the phone, came up with a plan for treatment, contacted our primary car provider to confirm the treatment plan, and offer to drive over just to sit with us and baby. Her care can't be beat!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Joey and the care I received from her. From the beginning she made myself, and my husband comfortable and answered every question we had along the way. Every visit was personal and I never felt rushed during our appointments. When I went into labor she was there from beginning to end and helped me work through my contractions. My goal was to have a water birth, and with Joey’s guidance my daughter was born in the water. This was something I wanted to do with my prior births but didn’t feel comfortable in the hospital. I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of care she provides post birth. Weekly weigh-ins for baby and support for me was so welcomed as I was used to no appointment until 6 weeks with the hospital. If you’re looking for a natural birthing experience Joey’s knowledge and compassion are unmatched.

Joey and her team are wonderful. She was super sweet, considerate and knowledgeable. I had a great prenatal and birth experience. My postpartum recovery is very smooth because of the great care from her. Birth is beautiful when you have an amazing team. I look forward to have my next birth with Joey.

Joey is an absolutely amazing Midwife. Joey is very knowledgeable, caring, compassionate, and understanding. I've wanted to have a home birth with all my children but with my history of postpartum hemorrhaging my husband and I were very hesitant. During our first meeting with Joey she put our minds at ease and educated us like no other provider ever had. We knew she was THE one for us in this amazing journey in welcoming our seventh baby. Joey and her team welcomed my family and I with welcoming arms, Not once did I feel rushed nor that my kids were a bother. Our kids absolutely love Joey and her team . If I have any regrets is not having Joey as my midwife for all my other babies. I 1000% recommend Birthing Miracles for your pregnancy journey, you will not regret it.

Maria also shared these words on Facebook and linked to this important video about being overlooked in the medical system: Having the right care is everything...my midwife Joey: thank you for being the awesome, educated, strong person you are. Postpartum hemorrhaging was a fear [of mine] and you controlled it. [I developed] an infection that almost made me septic weeks after birth; you knew what to do. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't be here.

I came to Joey a bit late in my pregnancy because I wasn't feeling very comfortable w the prior care I had been receiving. In my first phone call w her was given more info in 15 mins, than I had in all the time in my care prior. After meeting w her, I was absolutely going to be having my baby with her.
She put me at ease and was very informative and was very comfortable to talk to. She always got back to me almost immediately if she wasn't able to answer my calls right away. My birth went smoothly and she did a wonderful job making me and my husband comfortable (which says alot for him, everything to do w birth stresses him out)!!! The birthing center is lovely.
My three yr old absolutely adores her as well and calls her his best friend. He was there for visits and the birth also. I think that being so involved helped him adjust to sharing me w his new brother.
If I was having more babies I would be back to have them with her! I am so grateful I found her when I did, and wish I had been working w her from the beginning!

When my husband and I first met Joey, we had already been going to an OBGYN and had already planned to give birth in a hospital. We got word that she was accepting one last client for February so we called to take a tour of her birth center. On the drive over we talked about keeping an open mind and deciding what would be the most important quality to us in a midwife. It was trust. Not only did we feel comfortable, welcomed and in great care with Joey from the beginning but she sent us home with supplements, tea, books, information and a huge smile on our faces. We had found someone very special we trusted to be on our team. I think what I enjoyed most about her care was that she actually wanted to get to know us, she never timed our appointments or rushed us. My husband and I were so lucky to have the pleasure of having her care and friendship and she soon became someone very special in our lives. We love you Joey!!

Joey goes over and above for her clients. She is flexible and understanding with tons of compassion! She helps research and educate on concerns or procedures done and can compare to conventional care. She LISTENS to her clients through and through. She has also chosen great team members to assist birth! The birth center is so warming and comforting it’s like you are home.

After my 28 week appointment with my OB's office, I was not feeling supported with my goal to have a natural birth and was also not feeling respected with the decisions I was making for my pregnancy, so I started searching for a new care provider so I could have an out of hospital birth. That’s when I found Joey & Birthing Miracles. From my first phone call with Joey, I knew I had found a perfect fit! So at 30 weeks pregnant I switched my care to her birth center and it was the best decision I made!

​

Through the rest of my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey, she made me feel empowered and respected! She always offered truly informed consent with every decision that needed to be made and allowed me to make the best choice for myself and our baby with no judgement. She provided me with all the tools to mentally prep for my unmedicated birth and taught my husband ways to support me also.

Throughout all the pain, vomiting, and tears during labor, she did and said all the right things to keep me going even when I was starting to doubt myself! I can proudly say, I got the unmedicated birth I was wanting!

​

One thing I loved most about working with Joey is she came to our house for my prenatal appointments. Not only did she check on my health and the baby, but she also educated me on breastfeeding, how to prepare for baby, and most importantly gave me tools to help mentally prep for my birth. After my daughter was born, she continued these in home visits once a week for 6 weeks! I loved having all the support and positive encouragement she offered!

I can’t even put into words how incredible my experience with the Birthing Miracles team has been. If you want personalized, knowledgeable, and compassionate care and an empowered birth experience, this is it! Joey goes above and beyond for her families before, during and after the birth experience, educating and providing unconditional support. She well informed and prepared for anything thrown at her. I had an unexpected transfer during my birth but that didn’t stop Joey from being my advocate and never leaving my side. It’s rare to find someone you trust 100% to seek care for not only yourself, but your children. We will without a doubt be going back for our next birth!

I am so grateful I had the support of Birthing Miracles during my pregnancy. Especially planning to give birth during Covid times was overwhelming but the virtual calls with Joey put me at ease and I felt empowered with Joey’s loving support and wisdom going into my delivery. I felt assured that my delivery was going to go well and it did! I gave birth to a beautiful healthy baby boy and so grateful for my experience with Joey at Birthing Miracles!

Joey and her team were a part of our support system for the home birth of our youngest daughter. Working with a midwife and having a home birth was not our original plan, but due to COVID-19, we considered other birth options, and I’m so glad we did! This is our third child -the first two were born in a hospital- and this has been, by far, the BEST birth and postpartum experience. The care I received during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum was personal, thoughtful, and empowering. I felt like I was in control, but I always felt comfortable to ask any question. Joey also went above and beyond to include our older children during prenatal visits and the birth. It was truly a family experience and for that, I am so thankful! Thank you, Birthing Miracles ♥️

Joey and her team are absolutely wonderful. My labor was beautiful and I felt very supported. After some time I was having some complications and wanted pain relief— Joey was understanding and supportive of all my decisions. Not only does she help you to have the labor and delivery that YOU want, she’s amazing with prenatal and postpartum care. I love her and her team and will hopefully be using Birthing Miracles again one day.
