Cynthia Bean

When I was looking for a midwife for my second pregnancy and first home birth, I wasn’t sure what to look for. After interviewing a few midwives, Cynthia really stood out to me. From the beginning, I felt like she genuinely wanted to get to know me and understand my previous birth experience. She made me feel heard and supported right away. I especially appreciated that she offered a FaceTime meeting so I could see her beforehand, and I loved how she included my daughter in that first interaction. Having a three-year-old, it made such a difference that Cynthia offered home visits, it took away the stress of bringing a child to appointments. I knew I wanted a home birth, but I had never truly envisioned what that would look like. Cynthia was incredibly patient and helped guide me in creating the birth experience I wanted. She supported me in having the kind of pregnancy and birth that felt right for me. She is very knowledgeable and was always available to answer questions or just talk things through. One of my favorite parts was how she included my daughter in every appointment, letting her help, listen to the baby’s heartbeat, and taking the time to talk and play with her. It made the experience so special for our whole family. When it came time for my birth, I had a “go with the flow” mindset, and Cynthia fully supported me in that. I felt safe, respected, and cared for the entire time. I also truly appreciated the postpartum care. It was personal, calming, and far more attentive than the standard six-week follow-up. Cynthia made sure both baby and I were doing well with multiple visits after the birth. I had such a wonderful experience with Cynthia. I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a home birth, and I will absolutely be using her again in the future.

Cindy has been there for three of my babies. She's very involved, supportive, informative, and willing to work with you in all situations. If the Lord wills it, and I have another child, I will be seeking out Cindy as my midwife.

I initially chose Cynthia as a midwife because she advertised in-home prenatal visits! These were such a blessing with other children at home. Cynthia was extremely professional and kind. She was never in a rush and spent quality time at every prenatal visit. During labor she was a calming presence. This was my fifth baby but first home birth, and was a wonderful, positive experience for our whole family. Post partum care at home was also top notch!

Cynthia gave me the best care during my first pregnancy & delivery that I could have asked for. From the first conversation, my husband and I felt a connection to Cynthia and knew we wanted to work with her as my midwife. Our hour long appointments during each prenatal visit gave us plenty of time to ask questions, learn about my baby’s development, hear her heartbeat, and more. We felt very supported. She was always accessible and responded to my questions promptly. My labor and delivery as a first time mom went faster than expected, and Cynthia was supportive through the whole process. When it was time for me to get in the tub to have my desired water birth, Cynthia helped to keep me calm and present. Everything went perfectly and I could not be more grateful. I highly recommend working with Cynthia / Artemis Midwifery!
