Trinity Midwifery

Lael and I work together occasionally offering different types of care for families. My clients remark on her sensitivity and skill as a birth worker. I find her easy to work with as a health care provider. :)

My experience with Lael was awesome. I had a smooth 7 hour labor and popped out my little girl after Lael helped her move past a lip that wasn’t progressing so well.
PRO’s: she was very responsive, and worked well with us regarding our payment. We all know how tough insurance can be and she understood. Her assistant, Grace, was so sweet. In those last weeks they were both my rock as we all know how tough those last weeks can be.
CONS: after I had my girl, contact with her became increasingly difficult. Now, she DID go to Germany so grace did my newborn checks but even when she came back I had a couple questions regarding how much we still owed and what was going on with insurance and I never got a response. Also, when they passed the new vaccination law I wanted to discuss it with her so I Sent her a text but she never responded. Granted shes up at odd hours delivering babies and such I just wish I had more contact with her. I wouldn’t subtract any stars for this because of how great the delivery was.
We love you Lael!

We recently had a baby and used Lael as our midwife. She is very sweet and we very much enjoyed working with her. She comes highly recommended if your considering a home birth with a midwife. :)

Lael is a fabulous midwife. She has a fantastic website full of useful information and online resources, and while I had a very textbook pregnancy and delivery, Lael’s descriptions of what to expect were very accurate. We felt very cared for both during our pregnancy, labor, and now six weeks post partem.
Additionally, she was very accommodating with our schedules! She lives about an hour from us, on the other side of the bay, my husband and I are both commuters (read: frequently out of the house from 6am until 6pm,) and she would drive out to see us at 7pm.
I am giving Trinity Midwifery 5 stars because 4.75 isn’t an option, but I do have one small criticism. Lael is a bit disorganized when it comes to paperwork, and that can be quite frustrating, but if you ask her (sometimes more than once,) she will get you what you need. Besides which, in the realm of pushing a tiny human out of my body, knowledge and experience matter way more than an occasionally misplaced bit of paperwork.
This is our first child, and I won’t go into our reasoning behind choosing a home birth here, but if you are curious or considering working with a midwife, please feel free to contact me, I’d be happy to talk to you about our decision and the factors that to it.

We knew we wanted to have our child at home, so we got a midwife very early on in my wife’s pregnancy. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, our initial midwife didn’t work out and we ended up setting up a meeting with Lael from Trinity Midwifery.
During our initial interview, it quickly became clear that she was a great fit for us. We were so thankful that our previous midwife hadn’t worked out because it meant we got to experience birth with Lael. We finally had someone we felt comfortable and safe with, we trusted, and just really got along well with. She did all of our prenatal visits in our home, was always available for any questions, and was extremely easygoing and likable.
The actual birth went great. There were no complications. Lael guided us along and helped us feel comfortable. She had an apprentice and an assist midwife for when our daughter arrived, who were both great as well. I could give the whole story, but the review would be too long for anyone to read.
Long story short: Lael was amazing and if/​when we decide to have another child, she will be one of the first people we call because we’d love the opportunity to work with her again.
