"There aren't enough words to describe how amazing [Damaris has] been."

"After I found out I was pregnant, I knew I wanted a home birth this time, but I didn't have many people to speak to regarding this, and then I found Damaris. It was a great fit. Damaris was so personable and knowledgeable; she gave me alternatives for everything and I am so grateful. She helped me deliver my beautiful baby boy and the support I felt from her and her team during delivery makes the experience worth doing again. I would recommend her to any mom first time or other. Damaris is great! My daughter Gianni loves her and asked if she can come live with us. There aren't enough words to describe how amazing she's been and the experience. We love her!"

Damaris is the best of the best! Damaris was with my husband and I the entire time throughout my pregnancy. She is full of knowledge and is backed by decades of experience. My first time giving birth was at home and Damaris and Cheri made it so comfortable and so smooth and we will forever be grateful to them. Now that my baby girl is a year and a half old, I truly miss my appointments and time spend with Damaris throughout my pregnancy. If you are hesitant on which route to take when selecting a midwife for your home birth, hesitate no more! Damaris is 100% the way to go! 😊

Chandler Jones

Damaris is simply the best homebirth midwife. I transferred my care about halfway through my second pregnancy from a hospital midwife to Damaris and did not regret it at all. This was my first homebirth. She educated us throughout the whole process. She listened at every appointment and answered any questions that me and my husband had. I trusted her and knew that I was in good hands with her. I will always recommend her and use her again!

Leah Outten

Damaris has helped me through 4 of my 6 pregnancies and births. Her personalized care was exactly what my heart was searching for after 2 hospital births with OBGYN's where I had felt like just a chart number. Damaris takes her time at each appointment to get to know you and your family, talking through concerns, making healthy suggestions and educating you on options. She's become a dear person to our family, one that even my skeptical husband of home births came to trust immensely through her wisdom and experience. She is prepared for all situations and navigated a few tricky times in our births with confidence and calmness, so both myself and baby were well taken care of. We love Damaris!

I 10/10 recommend Birth Choice to anyone considering birthing at home! I could not have been happier with my decision to work with Damaris! We decided on home birth for our second baby, and the care I received with Damaris vs the care I received with the OBGYN was night and day difference. She was always very patient and understanding with my questions and concerns. She is very knowledgeable and professional and has such a sweet personality, she made me very comfortable in my decision to have a home birth, there wasn't 1 time where I second guessed my decision after I hired her. She was always quick to answer any questions I had during my pregnancy and after, she helped me with all my newborn needs as well. I had the most amazing home birth experience and I can thank Birth Choice for that!

Damaris is The Best pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum attendant I could have ever asked for! We've had all three of our births (over a 6 yet period) with her, travelling 2 hours each time, in labor, in order to have her as part of our family story.When we originally met Damaris in person, we knew she was *right for us*. Damaris' calming presence, knowledgeable recommendations, honor of wishes, prompt amd throughness in answering questions or easing anxieties, while also listening amd assisting us through pregnancy, labor, birth, and the initial postpartum period is not only above all expectations, but also first class.My husband and I love Damaris with all our selves and feel privileged and honored to have her as part of our family story!

Tasha Cook

Damaris was with me for 2 of my 3 births and I would trust no one else. She is the absolute best all around and the only downside of my experiences with her were when our journey together came to an end. I cannot say enough positive things about her and cannot recommend her highly enough to do justice to just how wonderful Damaris truly is.

Amber Canaan

I love Love Love Damaris! She has attended the births of two of my babies and if I am blessed with any more there is no question that I will call her! She has such a peaceful and soothing presence about her and her knowledge and skill are such that I have NEVER been concerned about my wellbeing or my baby’s. I am thankful that someone recommended her 8 years ago and I recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing care provider!

Damaris was my midwife for both of my births. The first was back in 2011 at a free standing birth center and this past September (2017) at home. Damaris has this calming, sweet, and other worldly disposition about her which sets your mind at ease through out the prenatal period, birthing time, and postpartum period. She is a highly skilled, knowledgable, compassionate, and loving midwife who's number one priority is safety for Mom and baby. Damaris takes her time with you (how many of you are able to hang out and connect with your health care provider for an hour or longer to make sure all your needs have been met at each appointment?) I cannot imagine having anyone else care for me and my family (we had a family centered birth). As long as I am having babies she will be my midwife. And as long as my friends are having babies I will keep referring her.

Julie McLemore

I chose to have a home birth with Damaris after delivering 4 babies in hospitals. It was SO MUCH BETTER! Seriously the best decision I ever made. She is an expert and truly cares about you. I delivered a 9lb 14oz baby and she honored my wishes and knew just what I needed and just what to do in every circumstance.

Amanda Kotis

Wonderful loving experienced and kind!!!

Jonas & Paige Nader

Damaris was there for me through my entire first pregnancy & even postpartum. She answered my many questions and put this nervous first time mom's mind at ease. She not only helped me prepare physically but mentally for the natural delivery of my baby girl. I truly don't think I could have delivered my 8 lb bundle of joy naturally without her constant encouragement and wisdom. I will definitely be calling Damaris when it is time for baby #2.

Air Potter

Delivered 4 of 5 babies here (so far!) and having the safety and security of knowing the team is on every detail and TRULY knows what to do with my difficult labors gives me absolute peace of mind.
