When we were pregnant with our third baby, we knew we wanted this one to be a homebirth. Emme had been our doula with our first two sons and now that she was a midwife, we knew it was meant to be. We worked with Emme and Clare, and they provided us topnotch care. At all of our prenatal care appointments they took their time and really made sure we felt secure and comfortable with everything. They always made sure to include our older boys in everything, which was important to us.. We never felt rushed. Everything was thoroughly considered, from my diet to how we would include our older sons in the birth, how our own relationship dealing with the stresses and most importantly an emergency back up plan. No detail was too small, and we were constantly amazed by the amount of knowledge the two carried between them!
We felt so safe and secure during our birth. Emme and Clare lovingly attended to every detail, but still gave me the freedom to do what I needed to do while laboring. We were able to just relax and focus on our baby and our own needs. Everything we wanted was taken into consideration, and our birth went exactly as we had hoped it would.

I am very, very happy with the care I received from Emme and Clare. As a parent I make not-so-great decisions daily (don’t know how the kids survive…), but the decision to have a homebirth with Trillium is one decision that I am truly proud of. One decision where I really did my research and made a choice based on what I believed would be the safest way for my daughter to be born. She could not have gotten a better start in life.
The prenatal care was absolutely wonderful. Our 2-year-old loved the appointments and constantly kept talking about Emme and Clare. Imagine prenatal appointments that you can bring a very active 2-year-old to without it being the least bit stressful! But besides that, I very much appreciate how they helped us make truly informed choices about everything from testing to vitamin K, and always respecting our decisions. I am also forever grateful for how they helped me deal with fears that I had not really admitted to myself before.
I had a beautiful birth, and after the birth I had six weeks of excellent postpartum care.

Clare and Emme bring a deep inner wisdom to birthing families. All babies should be brought into the world surrounded by such love!
We had always been intrigued by the idea of home birth but for our first baby decided to birth at the hospital. Well into my pregnancy though, we decided to pay attention to that continuing curiosity about home birth. We interviewed Gail, Clare and Emme—just to learn more information—and nearly jumped out of our skin with excitement by the time we finished our meeting. We felt confident in their skills and in the level of care they would provide. We had found our birthing “dream team!” At 30 weeks we transferred our care from a local hospital midwifery clinic to the Trillium Midwives, deciding to bring our first baby into the world at home. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made and we can’t wait to hire them when we get pregnant again.
