Kaylie F. Vernal, Utah

After birthing with Donna, I now feel like I could have a successful pergnancy in a hospital, as well as at home. I understand self care. However, with Donna, I know my body will remain intact post delivery (no tears).

Mandy C. Duchesne, Utah

Being in our own home and being able to do what was comfortable for me, the baby, my husband and the other children. I was so well cared for and coached as to what would make delivery easier. This baby has been so calm and mellow. I have been rerally impressed how fast I have recovered. If I had known what a difference a home birth made in their countenance I would have done this with all of my children.

Mandy H. Vernal, Utah

The honest love she has, not only for what she does, but for the people she does it for and especially the babies. She always asks if parents have questions or concerns, encourages them to voice them, and is thorough & reassuring in her knowledgeable response. Anyone who attended a prenatal visit with me left a bit more educated than when they arrived. If only she could deliver all the babies, they all deserve such a beautiful, amazing, loving beginning. Thank you—We love you!

Wendy O. Vernal, Utah

I felt like a person instead of a number. It was wonderful having an attentive / concerned 'mom' making sure everything went well.

Kristy M. Duchesne, Utah

She has not only been our midwife but a genuine friend and trusted health care provider. Her knowledge and understanding gave us the confidence and positive attitude we needed for a great pregnancy & birth experience. Full of love and compassion!

Misty B. Roosevelt, Utah

She respects how you feel, and when it is time to get down to business, Donna’s attention is all yours. She doesn’t try to rush things like you are on her time, and a burden. Delivery is your time and your needs are met. I love how she respected what my body wanted, not the medical dictated crap.

Mande R. Vernal, Utah

My health is much better than ever. I loved the calmness of my homebirth. I will never go back to a hospital to deliver.

Connie H. Duchesne, Utah

Donna has had a lot of experience & she is very knowledgeable about home births. I learned more from her than any doctor that I’ve had. Donna is caring & makes sure that you can always get ahold of her if you need her. My birth at home with Donna’s care was the best of all the ones I had. Donna has a loving personality, too.

Kristy W. Roosevelt, Utah

I felt that Donna is genuinely concerned with the mother, as well as the baby. She was willing to do whatever it took to help and make me feel more comfortable. I felt like I could call her day or night (I did once) and she would help me. I felt like I was not a bother to her and that she really cared. Not only is she compassionate, but she has a tremendous amount of knowledge.

Natalya C. Vernal, Utah

Our first two children were born in the hospital and were both very unpleasant experiences, but Donna was wonderful! Our experience with our third was confident and pleasant. The experience was so great that we’re considering a fourth.

Janet P. Vernal, Utah

Having a birth with Donna is inexpensive, she makes house calls, you don't have to leave the comfort of home, she gives you good advice, she is there when you need her, and she would never hurt you or the baby. If something goes wrong, she is right there and has your best interests in mind. She is the only one in my lifetime that knows what I need, when I need it, and how much. I trust her more than any doctor or other person.

Jilli K. Roosevelt, Utah

Donna cares about the wants and needs of both mother and baby. She is very knowledgeable and capable in caring for healthy as well as difficult pregnancies and deliveries. I grew to care very much for Donna and appreciated her willingness to aid me through my pregnancy and delivery.

Having my prenatal care and delivery with Donna were far more personable, made me more comfortable with my body and with her. She has my complete trust and thus made my labor and delivery so much easier and stress free knowing I was in the best hands possible. I love Donna, I will have the next baby with her. She is the best!

Brynlie J. Tridell, Utah

Having someone that truly cares for you and is so knowledgeable is so important to me and Donna has made me feel so cared for and loved through my whole pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She also just has so much wisdom and knowledge about all things birth, babies, and pregnancy. I have learned so much from Donna and feel so safe in her care.

Nashelle J. Vernal, Utah

One-on-one care that is very personal, learning more about my body before, during and after pregnancy than I’ve ever known before, spouse involvement, and being 100% comfortable in Donna’s hands because we know she trusts us to know what is going on & keep us informed & we trust her in return. Donna herself is the best & greatest advantage to having our child with her.

Karlee S. Lapoint, Utah

Donna and her team are so wonderful. They are the type of people you want in your corner not only for birth, but for life. There have been many things throughout pregnancy, birth, and now motherhood that I’ve worried about or wondered being a new mom and Donna is always my “go to” for advice, remedies, and encouragement. She and her team are gentle, nurturing, very intuitive, knowledgeable, and supportive. I appreciate the love they’ve shown my family so much!
