Revelation Midwifery

Quincy is amazing!! She was my doula for my second child. My first birth was very traumatic and medical. Quincy helped me come to terms with alot of the anger and fustration I felt from the first birth. She really opened my eyes to what a beautiful and natural experience birth is. She took so much of her time to educate my husband and I. Learning that I had control over my medical care and that the doctor really is my employee gave me back that sense of control I felt was taken away. Although my second child was born in a hospital, I labored at home as long as possible and I had all the support I could need. Quincy really helped to support my husband through the process as well. Her care and friendship did not end there. She has provided me with more information in the care of both of my children and other medical issues I have encountered. My third child is due in December and I am so excited to say he will be born at home with Quincy as my midwife.

Imagine -- our daughter-in-law alone on a base in 29 Palms, CA -- our son in combat in Iraq -- and we are in Colorado. We start hearing stories about this lady named Quincy......well, I was there to witness her in action for the birth of our grand baby -- and what a miracle this doula, my daughter-in-law and the baby were! Its an experience I haven't forgotten and it was May of 2003! Immediately, Quincy came into the birthing room & made it a place of peace & harmony & never lost her focus on Patricia. Quincy helped her every step of the way & because of her there was no negative energy in the room. When the baby arrived Quincy quickly grabbed the camera & recorded every moment so Daddy who was half a world away could share the whole experience later. Once you have had Quincy attend you at a birth, you won't want to have it any other way -- you won't be able to imagine going through it without her! Bless you, Quincy -- you are our little Skyler's Angel on Earth!

Living in a small town, I thought it might be hard to find a doula and midwife. Turns out, though the choices are limited, it was much easier for me than it was for my sister with all the choices San Francisco could provide for her. Quincy was the right choice for us and made me feel lucky to live here. She's able to offer her warmth and experience without ever seeming intrusive. My eyes were closed a lot during our homebirth labor, but I knew it was Quincy who was keeping me as comfortable as possible. Regardless of your birth scenario, who may be there or where it may be, Quincy can be that invisible little boost that helps you be the best new mother you can be.

Quincy was so helpful to me since my husband was deployed at the time and I wasn’t sure if my mother and sister would get to the hospital in time (They were 3 hours away). She was able to help and comfort me when I thought that I might be alone. I really don’t think that I would have been as calm as I was if she wasn’t there to offer encouragement and help when I needed it.

I would just say ditto to all the other reviews. Quincy attended our 2nd daughter's entrance into this world. She is supportive, knowleadgable, thorough and very positive. Ours was a homebirth so the environment was already comfortable. She was great to have there and I would highly recommend Quincy especially if the birth will take place in a hospital. Someone like Quincy would be a necessity to ensure a great birth experience. She is a fantastic teammate to have on your side!

Quincy has been our doula at all three of our children's births. When I first introduced the idea of hiring a doula to my husband, he was hesitant. After the birth of our first son, my husband was even more emphatic than I was - we would definitely be calling her for any future babies! For each of my labors, she was quick to step in when needed, offering pain relief, suggestions, encouragement, and understanding. She was just as quick to blend into the woodwork when my husband and I needed our time together, and at times her role was to support my husband so he could better support me. Quincy's support went far beyond the delivery room. She was on hand during my pregnancies to answer my questions and concerns and offer reassurance when things got tough, and she was instrumental in helping my boys and I establish strong breastfeeding relationships. To anyone wondering if a doula like Quincy is worth the investment, the answer is YES YES YES!!!

Quincy's experience and knowledge made my second birth experience so memorable for all the right reasons. She took care of everything!! From emotional and physical support through labor and delivery, as liason with hospital staff, nurses and doctor, to atmostphere, you name it. During my pregnancy Quincy was so in tune and empathetic to our fears and concerns we carried from a previous loss. Also, she was open to many natural birth techniques out there and provided literature about anything pregnancy, birth and baby care related we ever asked about. Quincy made my whole experience so positive and manageable. And both my husband and mom appreciated Quincy's knowledge and presence that allowed them to stay by my side too--by keeping us constantly in the loop about what was happening, what stages I was in, what nurses were doing, etc. I could honestly say that her pain-managing techniques and sincere encouragement made my son's delivery so "easy" and purely beautiful. 5 STARS plus

Quincy was our doula for the mid-wife attended home birth of our first child in March 2006. We hired her so that my husband would feel comfortable participating at whatever level "in the moment" (i.e. if he needed to excuse himself, he knew I'd be cared for). She came to our home during the pregnancy and was available for questions by phone before and after the birth. Quincy did a fantastic job of encouraging me when needed, and made sure that my husband was comfortable in his support role. She did a heck of a job cleaning up - laundry, the birth pool, etc. and was very helpful in the days and weeks postpartum. I highly recommend her!

Doula at the birth of our daughter: Quincy was the doula at the birth of our daughter in 2004. She is extremely knowledgeable and competent. Was really great in postpartum and helping me start nursing. Not only is she a mother with lots of birth experience herself, she's also in school to become a midwife so she has that extra expertise. There is practically no birthing topic she is not well versed in. She also provided "long distance" support and advise just before the birth of my son in Oregon.

Quincy was my doula for the birth of both of my boys. Even though I had a c-section for my first child (he was breech.), she helped me achieve my goal of a VBAC with my second child. She granted us wonderful insight into what to expect. She supported both me and my husband through the entire labor and delivery. She helped me see how beautiful natural childbirth can be. It was an amazing experience that I wish ever new mother can have! Thank you Quincy!
