InJoyable Birth Midwifery

Crystal was at my side during the birth of both of my babies and I would recommend her with the highest regard. She has a calming nature about her. Her depth of knowledge is reassuring when I need reassuring the most, but I found her gentle bedside manner to be her best quality. She challenges you to take responsibility for your health choices and to play an active role in the decisions about your care. She empowers you with her confident skill along the way. Her love of her work and caring for mothers is obvious when you are around her. If you have the opportunity to work with Crystal, you will have a supported, loving birth…

I have had the pleasure of working with Crystal for a few years (and many births), as a fellow midwife. I am impressed with her wealth of knowledge, her compassion, skill, and honesty. I whole-​heartedly recommend her to everyone looking for a home birth.

When my wife mentioned getting a midwife for our 2^nd child (1^st was born in a hospital) I was skeptical. Crystal, however calmed my nerves the first time I met her long before the baby was born. It was a great resource to get to really know personally the person who would preform such an intimate act. When the time came she supplied us with most all we needed and it was a quick and comfortable process in the pool. Highly recommended.

Crystal has been awesome!
My husband & I moved to Tempe AZ when I was 7 months along in our pregnancy. I was desperately searching for a midwife prior to our move, but so many were not available for the time period that I am expected to give birth (mid-​November). Finally, I stumbled across Crystal. She was willing to Skype/​FaceTime with my husband and I. We chatted one evening for about an hour, just asking questions and getting to know each other. The time passed so fast, and I loved that her style and mine were so complimentary. I immediately was at peace with choosing her as our midwife. She was so helpful helping us find a doula and chiropractor as well!
I’m excited for the upcoming home water birth of our first child and working with Crystal and her assistant Diana sometime in the next month or so. Update to come!
