What mothers are saying

“I switched from a regular OB to Gaylea around 23–26 weeks for a VBAC, and the level of care was astounding. She navigated some scary complications swiftly, calmly, and knowledgeably, and I had a successful HBAC. So grateful for her as a midwife and as a person.”

— Kimberly Brooks
