Notes of Appreciation
Testimonials
“We chose Cara as our midwife for my second homebirth. When we met with her, there was no question in our minds that we wanted her to helps us welcome our child into the world. She is a wealth of knowledge and offers the most caring and loving support. She is so knowledgeable and has incredible experience. As a healthcare provider myself, it was important to me to hire someone that would honor my choices and provide excellent midwifery care. She checks all the boxes! She allowed me to be in control of the care I received during my pregnancy. During labor she was there for support and suggestion but ultimately let my body and my baby do what we were made to do. The postpartum care was truly magical! I have 3 babies and have never felt more supported, cared and loved for. She was available at any time for any thing that came up. I cried when I had my 6 week postpartum because our journey had needed and she wouldn’t be in my everyday life anymore. I recommend her to everyone who even thinks about giving birth at home. We love Cara so much!”

“I can’t say enough positive things about Cara and the care you will receive with her! She’s compassionate, supportive throughout pregnancy and remained very calm and collected during delivery. I loved that she was very present during labor and delivery, but not overly checking me, nor giving me dilation numbers (though if you wanted, I’m sure she’d accommodate). That helped keep my mind on my body, not how long I had left. Postpartum care is at home, which has been wonderful. Working with Cara is like chatting with a friend with a deep understanding to women and the birthing process. Love her!”

“Cara felt like the perfect midwife for us from the start and it was with enthusiasm and confidence me and my husband chose her to be our midwife for our first baby by birth. I was 39 when I got pregnant and Cara was the perfectly feisty & confident practitioner combined with the softness of care that really eased all concerns and set us up for a gorgeous pregnancy and amazing home water birth at the beginning of the pandemic. I pulled out all the client stops and her and her birth team held me in the rocking sea of birthing a 10lb 6oz baby boy. Cara is infused into the experience of our youngest son. She is forever our angel-rockstar midwife and our souls are forever bonded. I love the photo where she's reflected in the mirror...WE LOVE YOU CARA!”

“Such a nurturing, sincere, intelligent midwife. Offers support for women in the way they want it and supports what is comfortable for them. Highly knowledgeable and deeply compassionate. Very attentive. Understands scientific and more indigenous approaches to child birth.”

“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!”

“Never in my life have I felt so trusted, supported or well cared for as I have in Cara’s care. She walked beside me during my third pregnancy and despite many unexpected turns in the road, Cara never wavered. When it became clear that a home birth was no longer the safest option, she kept supporting me, trusting my intuition and when I gave birth to my son in the hospital, she was still there. Holding space, giving me a port in the storm… She is -without a doubt- one of the most incredible women I have ever met. I am forever grateful that she was a part of my son’s story.”
~Justine
“Truly, Cara is a profound gem in our community! She has an incredible presence and intuitive knowing that literally is one step ahead of your needs during birth. She's also beautifully grounded in love for your care! She was a blessing to our family!”

“In pregnancy, birth and postpartum it’s your right to feel comfortable and well-supported. It’s your right to know all your choices and be given autonomy over your body & your baby. The provider you choose during this time should really see you, respect you and treat you with the utmost care. Which is why my family chose Cara to walk this beautiful path with us for two of our children.
During both of my births, Cara was always respectful of what I truly wanted, held me when I needed to be held, always had the perfect words when I needed to hear them and lastly created a space for me to show up just as I was and how I needed to be- with no expectations or guidelines. She is a true midwife and birth keeper! Cara is a radiant light in this world and I wish every woman could experience the love and attention she gives each client during this sacred journey.
When we moved out of state and got pregnant with our fourth baby I couldn’t imagine anyone else but Cara being my midwife so she traveled 11 hours one way just to be with me! The bond we created is incredibly deep and she wasn’t just my midwife but instead has become part of my family. I’m eternally grateful for her level of skill and presence at my two births. Memories I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life.”
