Dulce is easily the greatest investment we have ever made.

The moment I walked into their doors I knew they were different. The environment was so peaceful and calming I didn't know what to do with myself.

This was my first pregnancy and I went in knowing almost nothing about how to prepare for birth. From the very beginning, Anita and the rest of the team provided us with endless resources on nutrition, exercise and anything else I needed to have a smooth and healthy pregnancy as well as prepare my body for labor. If we had a question they had answers and like four sheets of paper to give us on the topic.

Any time we were presented with tests or different options they thoroughly discussed what our options were and empowered us with the ability to make our own decisions. Every appointment was at least 30 minutes long and super personable. My husband and I greatly appreciated Anita's passion and energy throughout the entire experience.

And I haven't even mentioned our birth yet!

We decided to use the birthing center for our birth. They did an incredible job at creating a warm and peaceful space, one that made it easy to tap into a more primal state of mind throughout labor. If I ever wanted to change positions or use a different space everything would be prepped for me before using it. They gave us plenty out privacy throughout labor. Any time they had to check baby's heartbeat I didn't have to change position or do anything.

My baby ended up being asynclitic and Anita knew all of the positions I needed to try to help shift him. I ended up needing her to help move his head and she knew exactly what to do and when to do it.

Because they had done such a good job at educating us leading up to the birth we always knew what was happening and were able to make educated decisions. We were never really caught off guard by anything.

Baby Atlas arrived after 20 hours, my husband got to catch him, cut his umbilical chord and weighed him. No one else even touched him after he was born aside from my husband and I.

Even though he was asynclitic and gave me trouble coming out I wouldn't change anything about the experience. I look back on his birth and I love it.

I'm sure had I gone to the hospital I would have been labeled a failure to progress and ended up in an "emergency" c-section. Instead I was surrounded by women who encouraged, empowered and held patience for me every step of the way.

Oh! They even provided a breastfeeding course during pregnancy which has been such a huge help in my breastfeeding journey. It took out a lot of the guess work and what I am sure would have been painful hours of trial and error for me.

Even after he was born they continue to support us. Offering help over the phone. Giving herbs to help with healing. Easing my new Mom anxieties.

I will always look at my baby and know we gave him the best possible start to life thanks to everyone at Dulce.

They say it takes a village and I believe Dulce is mine!

We had rave reviews from friends of ours and it sounded perfect. We just went for initial consult and I was already sold with the quick answers and responses. Made me feel very comfortable, answered all of our questions and we are looking forward to being a part of this family and having our little one here!

Awesome and very fast service. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. They knew what they were doing. Overall great experience.
