Peacefully Born Traditional Midwifery

Jeanne Bazille has been my midwife through my last two pregnancies and births. I am so grateful to her for all that she has done for me and my family. After a hospital induction for my first birth, I knew there was something "more" to birth and I found it when I met Jeanne. She radiates peace and calm, but also a deep wisdom of birth that comes from many years of experience and an obvious and profound calling into midwifery. Truly, she has a gift! We always felt welcome to talk as long as we needed and such a joy to watch our little ones take part in the listening to the heartbeat and measuring of my belly. When our daughter needed medical attention at 10 days old, Jeanne was right there for me. Making sure I was doing ok. I never felt alone. She is a big part of helping me find my calling, doula, prenatal yoga instructor and hypnobabies educator. I can never imagine going through a pregnancy, birth or postpartum time without her by my side. I am blessed to call her my Midwife Matt and Lindsay McCoy, Roxy, Jasper and June Grateful

Jeanne has been our midwife for the last six of our twelve precious children. While I could highlight something memorable from each birth, our ninth birth was one that made me appreciate the wisdom and experience that puts Jeanne in a class of her own. Our baby was born three weeks early with Down Syndrome, heart defects, and a whole host of other health concerns. By our own choosing, we did not know any of these things prior to our birth. What would have certainly been a life-threatening experience for both our baby and me in most other situations, was handled instead with tremendous wisdom, care, and tenderness by our beloved Jeanne. I have been incredibly grateful for the many qualities that Jeanne has consistently demonstrated to me and my family through the years. Her love, commitment, sacrifice, encouragement, thoughtfulness, flexibility, and dependability have brought many smiles and have wiped away many tears. Thank you, Jeanne. We love you!

For my third pregnancy I knew I wanted to have a home birth. Also with a midwife that would be there and caring. With my first born I was so young, I didn't know what I wanted. For my second I knew I wanted a water-birth. Sadly it didn't happened after hours of stressful labor. And not being heard by my midwife whom was just walking in and out of the room, about getting in the birthing tub. Even though it was planned with the hospital months in advance. I knew for the next time we had to do a home-birth. It was just figuring how to go about it and finding the right person. Some months into my third pregnancy I found Jeanne. After meeting with her and telling her my story, we knew it was meant to be. It was the MOST amazing experience working with Jeanne and her apprentices. Laboring and having the water-birth I dreamed of was amazing. I'm so grateful to of had such an experienced, understanding and supporting woman/ midwife bring my little Delilah into the world.

As a first time mom, I was initially pretty nervous about having a homebirth. Everything was so new and there were so many unknowns. Thankfully I did my research, and found Jeanne. Soon it was very clear what my heart was telling me to do. I had a strong conviction to approach childbirth in a natural way; I just knew that having a homebirth was the path we needed to take. I could tell instantly that we were a good fit with Jeanne. Her laid back, grounded nature was coupled with years of experiece and wisdom. This gave me all the assuredness that I needed. Jeanne understood that I needed a lot of handholding and she was more than willing to meet me where I was in my journey to childbirth. We ended up having a beautiful, life- altering experience while ushering our sweet Kazzy into this world. It was perfect and peaceful in everyway. I can't wait to work with Jeanne again. I'm actually excited to labor again- not many women say that! Jeanne is a blessing to our family. Rae Block Filled With Gratitude

Jeanne has been my midwife for the last two of my pregnancies and I couldn't be happier. My first daughter was born naturally at a hospital, and although we were pleased with the birth, we were positive that we wanted to have a home birth with our next children. Right after talking to Jeanne we knew she was perfect for us. She has so much experience, she has a wonderful calm persona, and she cares so much about each of the families that she interacts with. It was such a great experience to really get to know Jeanne and her team of midwife apprentices and then know that they were the ones that would be there to support us and deliver our baby when the time came. It is very apparent that Jeanne and her team truly have a passion for what they do. I am so thankful for the wonderful care that Jeanne gave us for my last two pregnancies with my boys and I know it will be an easy choice for future babies.

After a fairly traumatic hospital birth experience with my first child, I started looking into home birth as an option for our second. As I researched, I came across Jeanne's name and only heard great things. When we met with her for the first time, her warm and genuinely caring demeanor, along with her more than 30 years experience told us she was perfect for our family. We thoroughly enjoyed our prenatal appointments, as did our 2 year old son, who could play with toys in the same room with us. Each appointment was unhurried with plenty of time to talk and ask questions. Jeanne put my mind at ease regarding my past birth experience and fears about our upcoming birth, as well. Our birth was everything we had hoped it would be, and a large part of that was due to the peace, calm, and confidence Jeanne brought with her. Even our photographer mentioned how wonderful it was to work with her, amazed at her sense of calm. We are so thankful for the care that we received through Jeanne! Dan & Tara Schmidt, Charlie & Norah
