I have nothing but great things to say about Well Rounded. Since FB only allows 1 review, this will be a multiple

Tori Hinkle was my midwife, Emily Encinosa my doula and Rory my lactation consultant.I’ve known Emily prior to her becoming a doula and when I decided to get pregnant after decades of battling chronic illness & then healing myself holistically, Emily came back into my life as fate would have it. She recommended Tori and once I met with her, I knew I was in great hands. 

From prenatal appointments, to laboring to postpartum, they both had my back & I am so thankful for their support. This was my first child and I knew I wanted a natural home birth as it is the healthiest thing for both baby and I. Since I am over 35, I am considered ‘high-risk’ in conventional medicine, so I had an OB as well. The problem with that is that they LOVE to use fear to create outcomes that favor their wallets. Thankfully, Tori was just a text away to answer any Qs I had and keep me calm, cool & collected the entire time. Not only did I have the support I needed but I now consider Tori a dear friend. During labor, even though I wanted to give up on myself…they would not let me and Tori made sure the birth was a SAFE & SMOOTH process. For a first time mom, my birth was as cake as it could be. I will be forever grateful. 

Emily is not only a fantastic doula but a midwife in training, so has more knowledge and experience than your typical doula. Although Emily and I were friends prior, when you meet her, she is so passionate about what she does that you feel like you have known her forever. She also took the time to ease any concerns I had and was there for me any time I needed her. On the birthing day, had I not had her extra support, I really don’t think I would have followed through and stayed home. Although I did all of the things-hypnobirthing, took all the classes, read all the books etc…nothing prepares you for the intensity of laboring. I am so thankful that she had my & my family’s back. Rory is a wealth of baby knowledge and taught our prenatal baby class as well as was there for postpartum breastfeeding help…which most of us need. It really doesn’t matter how much you prepare, things happen unexpectedly. My LO latched ok, but was losing weight and when I frantically reached out to Rory, she was there the same day to help. 

Overall, WRM has a team of amazing ladies that love what they do and resources galore for your pregnancy and parenting needs. If you are considering a home birth, these ladies are your go-to support team. I could NOT have done this without you and can’t wait to do it again! Love you guys!
