“When I knew I was pregnant, there was one thing I knew with certainty and that was that I wanted Cara Frantz at my birth. I've had the privilege of working with Cara for several years and watched her interact with her clients and our colleagues. She met each interaction with presence, authenticity, and soul. I can think of no better attributes to have beside me as I grew and birthed our baby. As prenatals began, it confirmed my feelings. Cara was deliberate in her communication, gentle and thorough in her craft and always met me in soul. She embodies the most beautiful combination of professional midwifery skills and holder of sacred space. The day of my daughters birth was perfect. I had an amazing midwifery team including Cara. Her presence met me, her confidence in birth and in me assured me that I could stay present and connected through every moment. When I started to pull away she pulled me back. My baby was born safely in the water into Cara's loving arms. I cannot imagine a better entry. Cara, I am so grateful to you!”
