Lindsay’s CB&W Experience

  • “CB&W was absolutely amazing from the very beginning of our prenatal care all the way through supporting my family after our daughter was born. Through the prenatal appointments the midwives always made sure to listen to any concerns or questions I may have and to explain everything that was going on. During the birth they were so calming and encouraging. My little girl ended up in the childrens hospital and the midwives and doulas all checked in on us and were so supportive during that difficult time…”

  • “Compared to my 1st two babies at my OB where I felt like just a number, I felt truly cared for with the staff & midwives. I wish I had all 3 births there! They always made sure all my questions and concerns were addressed at appointments. The birth environment was very calm and peaceful, I felt like I was actually in charge of making decisions for what was best for me. We unfortunately had to transfer to Children's after baby was born but Gina & Tiffany were so supportive and Gina even came with me in the ambulance and stayed with us until we were admitted. It made the transfer much less stressful than it could have been...”

  • “I transferred to the birth center at 28 weeks to increase my odds of having a VBAC. The midwives were nothing but kind and supportive from the first visit. When labor started they shared in my excitement and encouraged me. When I showed up to the birth center a little too early, not yet in active labor, they calmly reassured me that I had made great progress but that I wasn’t quite there yet without making me feel defeated. When I returned to the birth center in active labor, there was a sense of celebration from all of the midwives I interacted with. Throughout my very long labor, they continued to cheer me on…through every single contraction they were there helping me push forward. They created a calm and comforting environment the whole way through. They made me and my husband feel like family. They helped me to have the courage to trust my body all the way until my beautiful baby boy came into this world. This was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had in my entire life. Thank you CB&W for helping me to achieve my VBAC. I couldn’t have done it without you!”

  • “Our family is extremely grateful for our birth experience and appointments at CB&W. Everyone we talked to held space for us to make our own decisions regarding our prenatal care choices and birth experience. This was empowering for us and gave us room to truly enjoy each step of our pregnancy and birth without having a guard up or needing to defend any of our decisions. The doulas, educational classes, and midwives were always relaxed and never in a rush to inform us each step of the way, even when we asked the same question multiple times. We knew nothing about bringing a newborn home, and they made us feel completely normal and encouraged us constantly. We didn't have much family support postpartum, and the team at CB&W helped us to feel loved and supported as we were navigating the first few weeks of breastfeeding, diaper changes, and little sleep.”

  • “While we always thought we would like our next baby to be a home birth with a midwife or a free birth with just the two of us, we realized that we wouldn't have it any other way! It was incredible to be cared for in the birthing center with warm cloths, an herbal path, porridge, and ultimately the care of the staff at CB&W. The best part was coming home 4 hours after our baby arrived to a clean house and cozy bed, getting to spend the day together resting. If we birthed at home, there would have been more people, chaos, and frankly a larger mess for us to worry about. Being able to go to the center, birth our perfect baby and return home was priceless. We look forward to doing it again when the time is right.”

  • “CB&W facilitated a seamless transfer into their care from another provider, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The clinical staff and midwives were full of warmth, knowledge, & intentional care every step of the way. I felt empowered and supported to make the decisions that were best for me and baby with their expert guidance but never with coercion or condescension. The space itself truly gives the feeling of a spa while not sacrificing any of the medical resources along the way, including ultrasounds, labs, etc. I could not have imagined an environment more safe, comfortable & homey to bring our baby earth side. Lisa, Paige & Tiffany were such a tremendous support system that I trusted fully with mine & baby’s care. Thank you Colorado Birth & Wellness from the bottom of my family’s heart—we will treasure this birthing journey always! Couldn’t recommend more highly.”

  • “My birth with Gina and Tiffany was such a special experience. I truly appreciate the wonderful, loving atmosphere of CBW - from the prenatal appts through the birth, pregnancy was approached as a relaxed, natural event. I utilized the birth tub and all the other birthing devices on my son's birthday. I was so relieved to be in the space in active labor, with dim lights and my choice in music. I wouldn't want to have birth my son anywhere else.”

  • "Colorado Birth and Wellness completely changed our perspectives on pregnancy, labor and birth. They educated us, supported us, advocated for us and held us through the entire process. They made the process feel natural and beautiful. Our son and daughter were both born here almost two years apart and could not have had more peaceful entrances into the world. My husband and I are forever grateful for all they did and continue to do for us!"

  • "My husband and I just welcomed our first child and we couldn’t say nicer things about the care that was provided to us at this beautiful center. From all of the prenatal appointments to the birth of our boy..wow there are no words. As a first time mama I was nervous to birth naturally but knew that it was what me and my boy needed. Tiffany and Lisa were beyond incredible the whole entire journey through and their encouragement really gave me the strength. I never felt so cared for in any setting like this and my husband and I will truly remember this day forever. Thank you CB&W team!"

  • "Absolute Magic. Golly I hope there isn’t a character limit because I could go on forever about how wonderful my experience was getting to work with Julie. I only wish I had met her sooner for the births of my older children. After the birth of my 2nd, I knew that if my husband & I were going to try for another baby one day, I’d hope it’d go differently. Flash forward 3 years & I realized the plan that made me feel the most at peace regarding birth was to have another voice in the room, an advocate. I the phone & immediately shared the birth stories of my children—all the details, feelings good & fearful ones. I was unpacking groceries at the time, I think. I felt like I was chatting with someone who already knew me so well. I felt and knew I was heard. I could sense her wisdom, knowledge, confidence and kindness all in the initial phone call. Talk about a gift! we set up a time to video chat & go over birth preferences. This was the first time my husband & Julie had a chance to meet. The same feelings I had over the phone with Julie were still present in our call. She remembered all of the details (& based on the length of this review, already, you can glean that I am not one to skimp on the details) from our phone call & had excellent resources she shared with me to put into practice to help encourage baby to be in the optimal position for birth. I had space to ask questions & maybe more importantly, I had room & felt safe enough to name my fears too. In the coming weeks Julie & I texted regularly. I would share updates from my appointments & Julie was always available to respond & answer any questions I might have. I had come down with a stubborn cold & Julie would check-in. On the night my water broke Julie has just attended another birth. We let her know we were headed to the hospital just after midnight and she walked into the birthing room just moments after we did. During the labor I felt immense comfort & peace by being there with her. Julie’s warmth and comfort were exactly what I hoped for. To have another person there to look to, hold my hand, to encourage both my husband & myself was truly invaluable. Julie seemed to know just what to say to help me to the next level of labor, to help my through contractions, and for when baby was just moments away from being born. I felt so connected to my body & to my husband during labor. I felt at peace, strong and safe and I attribute that to Julie. I will always feel a strong connection to her and immensely grateful to have gotten to work with Julie and have her there for the birth of our third baby. Thank you, Julie!"

Lacey’s CB&W Experience


Kasey’s CB&W Experience

1. When and how did you first discover Colorado Birth and Wellness?

I’ve always known I wanted to birth outside of a hospital setting, I just moved to Denver and knew I wanted to work with a private birthing center. Labor and delivery is not a medical procedure, it’s an incredibly beautiful and intense natural process – I knew I wanted to put my body front and center throughout my pregnancy and labor instead of a standard way of doing things.

2. What was your experience like being a client at CB&W?

The first time my husband and I toured CB&W, it just had the vibe. It was calming, comfortable, quiet, and respectful of the beauty that is the female body and growing a baby. All of the staff is welcoming and the location was always a joy to enter. The rooms for exams felt more like comfortable spa rooms and taking classes in the living room created  holistic atmosphere.

3. During your experience with CB&W, what was the thing you enjoyed or benefitted the most?

I wasn’t sure how I felt about the collaborative practice, that I wasn’t going to be able to pick my midwife for labor. It was awesome! I got to know each midwife through my pregnancy and felt comfortable with any one of them joining me in labor. They are also a world of resources and connected us with their Doula team and our Pediatrician came from their recommendation list.


4. What would you tell someone who’s considering birthing at a birth center, specifically CB&W?

Do it! If you are looking for an unmedicated birthing experience guided by thoughtful midwives, nurses, and staff this is your place. They do not shy away from transferring out of the birthing center if the hospital becomes necessary through the process. They have your back and are on your team, they genuinely care and are able to hold your desires as a priority while keeping health and wellness at the center.

5. What about CB&W surprised you the most?

They provide continued well-woman care postpartum! I thought I was going to have to transfer out and come back once I was pregnant again, I’m so thankful that these are my ladies for good!

6. Did you face unexpected curveballs with your experience? If so, how did our team help you with those challenges?

Yes! At the onset of labor we got in contact with our Doula and midwife, as early labor progressed and my water broke, the midwife was super available to us. At this point I had to transfer to the hospital and didn’t come in to the birthing center at all – the midwife called ahead and they were expecting us + our Doula met us at the hospital. CB&W prepped us well for the possibility of a transfer, so I was able to pivot my plan and embrace the new plan quickly (it helped that I was in labor and the baby was coming no matter what!). Even after our hospital birth, we transferred back to CB&W for the 24-hour check-up and subsequent check-ins and lactation support. It didn’t matter that my baby wasn’t born at the center, they were all right by our side the whole time.

7. Is there anything else you’d like others to know about your experience with us?

I can’t wait to be pregnant again so I can come back for care and delivery planning with the whole team!


Leanne’s CB&W Experience

1. When and how did you first discover Colorado Birth and Wellness?

I first discovered CB&W when I was pregnant with my first daughter in 2021. I had a poor experience with my OBGYN at my 20 week ultrasound, and after that I decided to look into other options. I knew of natural birthing options, but I wasn't sure where to start or if I was capable of birthing naturally!

2. What was your experience like being a client at CB&W?

From my first experience meeting with a midwife at CB&W, I knew I made the right decision for my perinatal care. The team spent more time with me than any other practitioner I've seen, and they asked a lot of questions, which made me feel well cared for. The education and birth classes helped me feel well prepared and equipped with the tools I needed to give birth naturally and prepare for my transition into motherhood.

3. During your experience with CB&W, what was the thing you enjoyed or benefitted the most?

The most beneficial piece of my experience at CB&W was being taken care of by a team of compassionate people who believe in the natural birth process. Being part of a community of individuals with like-minded goals and interests for their births and babies was invaluable and will be an experience that I carry with me for the rest of my life.


4. What would you tell someone who’s considering birthing at a birth center, specifically CB&W?

I would highly recommend considering CB&W as your birth center. The midwives and staff will treat you like family, provide high-quality, compassionate care, and well-prepare you to have a natural birth and postpartum experience with your new baby.



5. Did you face unexpected curveballs with your experience? If so, how did our team help you with those challenges?

After giving birth to my second daughter, I began having complications about 3 weeks postpartum. I called the midwife line, and they gave me several options to help me find relief. They even checked in with me along the way to make sure I was doing better!
