Best Childbirth Class Lancaster Near Me

April Graves: When I found out I was pregnant again, I was so worried about having to deliver at the WIP again after being medically harmed with my last delivery. I was so relieved to see there was a Licensed midwife with a birth center who opened since I delivered last!Because of Tesa and her team, my pregnancy, birth and aftercare has been one of the best experiences of my life. I feel so fortunate that she dedicates her life to this sacred birth work. I don’t know how she handles the long hours, the lack of sleep and all the pressure, she is a saint.An experience with a midwife is far superior to an experience you will have with an OB. A midwife will be a good fit for you if you are proactive with your own health and pregnancy. Tesa will sit with you and your support people for as long as you need during your appointments, you will not be on the medical conveyor belt of Kaiser. But a midwife is not a mom, to hold your hand and do everything for you during your pregnancy. There are not enough hours in the day for that. But she will be there for you whenever you need her, and you will have multiple ways to get ahold of her if needed.What people must understand with a midwife, is that they are on call ALL THE TIME. Birth doesn’t care what time it is. When the baby comes, Tesa is on duty. This means that, yes you may have an appt re-scheduled. Some people in reviews I see were upset about this. But if your midwife was just up all night delivering babies, she needs to sleep afterward. She also drives to your house for a HOME VISIT the day after delivery. This means she is out of the office. And when your baby arrives, you will get the same red carpet treatment.To the reviews that mention she doesn’t have time to answer a lot of questions via email, NO medical person has this time to write paragraphs of answers. But at your appt, she will spend all the time you need. If you cancel appts on her multiple times, then you are not respecting her time and you probably aren’t a good fit for a small personal medical office. You need to do your part too, this is a team effort to get your baby earth side.I truly had a transformative experience for my out of hospital birth. And I really appreciate all the work and sacrifice Tesa has taken on to provide our community with this service. She has helped so many women avoid medical trauma, interventions, and obstetric abuse. And her care does not stop after delivery. She has a mom support group weekly and we bring our babies and chat with other moms with babies of all ages. Where else will you get this kind of love for your birthing experience?

Kaitlyn Roberts: Love the care I've received at AV birth center! I was blown away at Tesa's professionalism and knowledge. This is a place you will really feel cared for!

Serenity Vibez: 5 stars does give this place the credit it deserves. You'll be surprised at what your body can handle. Women, we are powerful beyond measures. This was such a beautifully spiritual journey and I encourage everyone to give mother nature a try. Tesa you are amazing and I know after being in your presence that this is more than just a job for you. Spiritually, mentally and physically you are invested and for you I am forever grateful. Thank you.

Joshua Johnson: This place is great! My wife had our second son in water here. Peaceful place. I definitely recommend it!

BEATRICE BRAZILE (TRAVELING TAX LADY): Tesa Kurin is amazing!!! She cares I have never experienced this much attention from my provider as I have now. I have always heard midwifes were awesome but i had no idea what i was missing. She listens to my concerns without rushing me out the door. She is very clean and safe and not over booking clients. I have been so disappointed by my ob's that I thought why not give the birth center a try they couldn't be worse the them. Boy was I in for a shock I have recieved natural options for my prenatal care like natural iron. Suggestions on how to avoid UTI's.I have so many great things to say about this place and Tesa Kurin that I won't make this to lengthy but I have to share this. I was feeling really tired and restless she told me two simple things that changed my rest and energy. I am so blessed to have her and I recommend you give her a shot you will not be disappointed. 35 weeks and a few more to go I am happy to be able to deliver with her and not in a traditional hospital. Forgot to add she is always on call for you ever question that I need answered she makes it her mission to answer in a timely manner. I dont have to wait a week for a response. Thank Tesa Kurin for being amazing and caring!

Cheyenne McKnight: We had a wonderful experience with Tesa! We felt so cared for by her. She gave us so much information that we were never given with our first baby. She is knowledgeable, professional, genuinely kind and non-invasive unless needed. My husband and I felt extremely comfortable with her. We had a great home birth and we would love to use her again if we ever had another!

Christie Robertson: I loved my experience here! I was so comfortable and very well taken care of during my pregnancy. I loved being any to have 24hr contact with Tesa in case anything happened. Although I wasn’t able to give birth here due to high blood pressure I’m so happy I was able to have all my prenatal care with her! I 100% recommend this place to anyone in search of a midwife!

Catherine Cook: Absolutely fantastic care. Tesa is an amazing midwife and goes above and beyond to make your birth safe and a good experience. 100% recommend. The birth center is also a home from home, beautifully set up and decorated.

Erica Bernardi: I had my second child here with Tesa and Bri, and my experience was exceptional! The entire experience from appointments to delivery were exactly what I wanted. I was able to contact Tesa directly if I had any questions or concerns and as we got close to our due date she would check in regularly. I don't know if any OBGYNs that have that personal of a relationship with their patients. I would look foward to my appointments with her to check in on the baby and ask her any questions without being rushed out. When I was at the birth center for my delivery I felt at home, she let my husband and I relax and work through labor without constant interruption. We had the lights low, music playing, I wasn't tied to an IV pole. She seemed to know just how involved to be; we never felt alone nor bothered and she helped me through the last phase of delivery with her confident presence and her reminder to breathe. Baby was born quickly and I was able to hold him while they made sure everyone was safe. And when I was ready, I took a hot shower to help relax me after delivery while my husband bonded with our new baby. The entire experience was magical and I would highly recommend AV Birth Center!

Michelle Friesen: A serene and welcoming space to bring your little on into the world. Tesa is knowledgable and attentive.
