Glow Midwifery

We interviewed several midwives in Portland before deciding to have a second home birth with our second child.
Angela is extremely intelligent, knowledgeable, and competent in her practice. We ended up needing to be transferred to the hospital for our delivery and Angela and her team were with us through it all.
We are so thankful for her attention towards our condition and her prompt consideration which assured a safe delivery. Should we have a third– We will deliver with Glow.

We came across Glow from Val, who was our doula at our first child’s birth. I instantly felt a connection with all of the ladies at Glow. The team at Glow is wonderful, they were always very attentive and nurturing with me and my baby, they respected any requests I suggested and were very open minded to any ideas I had. They are all very knowledgeable in their practices and I trusted them wholly when it came to my care. When baby time came they entered the house so calmly and sweet, I never felt like they were being intrusive or pushy, just very calm and patient, waiting for my body to do what was needed, we were even laughing as I ate while pushing! Overall I would suggest Glow Midwifery to any one of my friends or family who has a little bundle of joy on the way! Thank you ladies for being the wonderful women you are and keeping birth the way it’s intended to be.

I have nothing but good things to say about Glow Midwifery!
I wasn’t sure what kind of birth experience I wanted and researched the hospital, birthing center and home birth options. Once I met with Angela I knew right away that Glow would provide the expertise and thoughtfulness that my husband and I were looking for. I looked forward to every prenatal visit in her adorable cottage office and every postpartum visit with our son from birth to his six-​week final visit.
My husband and I have so many precious moments from our labor experience that we love to share and re-​tell with family and friends!

We searched long and hard for a home birth midwife team. When I met Angela, I was instantly put at ease by her nurturing presence and I felt confident in her knowledge and experience. Throughout our appointments with Angela and Valerie, my husband and I were continually supported as a couple going through the birthing process. Our questions were answered with a wonderful depth of knowledge paired with a compassion I appreciated more than I can say. Angela continually offered support on the journey, responding to any concerns or questions. She made me feel confident, informed, and prepared for birth.
We gave birth to our joy, Henry, after a long – but ultimately wonderful – labor at home. Despite our exhaustion, Angela and Valerie gave my husband and I the support we needed to keep going, all while providing the utmost care for our little one. I am so blessed by the experience and the care we received from our Glow midwives.

Having known Angela before becoming pregnant I already knew what an amazingly kind and loving soul she has. But working with someone as a care provider is much different than knowing them as a colleague or friend. You learn things about one another you never knew and you form a very special bond — no one else will ever know this relationship or experience. My husband and I interviewed several midwives in our search and agreed on all counts that Angela was the one! And we could not have been more pleased.
Angela has loads of experience, incredible intuition, endless patience, respect, and understanding, and a very calming energy. When I was in labor I didn’t want anyone near me. I yelled at my husband, my mother… even my cat! But when Angela arrived at my home all I wanted was her by my side. I believe that is a testament to her spirit and her craft. Not only did she know exactly how to assist me clinically, but she served my emotional needs just as well. My birth experience was PERFECT, in great part thanks to Angela and her faith in the power of women, their bodies, and their babies. And now I have a beautiful baby girl! The light of my life! I can’t thank Angela enough for the role she played.
I had the great pleasure and honor of being Angela’s first client in her new role as owner of a midwifery practice and I wish her the best of luck in her blossoming career. She has a loyal client in me. I will be back for my future babies!
Great Love truly does Open the Way.
