Jeni Rector Midwife in Hampton, VA

10/10 will highly recommend!!!! Jenni and the “village” truly made my first pregnancy and birthing experience a breeze. They were extremely nurturing and answered any questions or concerns I had clearly. They made sure I had everything I needed and catered to what I wanted during my son’s birth. It felt like home away from home. Everyone was so welcoming and was reassuring. I definitely will be coming back for baby #2!!!!

— Jasmine Miller

My midwives care for me my whole pregnancy! They were like family. They also made sure we was ok after birth! I appreciate them so much🩷

— Alisa Lynch

I Loved, Loved, LOVED my experience! Everyone was and continues to be so caring, attentive, and supportive. They’re sure to create a family-oriented feeling while guiding you on your journey. A million times worth every penny! - Cyerria

— Zen by Design

Jeni and the girls are amazing! I have experienced 1 hospital birth and 2 home births, with different healthcare providers each time. I had wonderful pregnancies and deliveries with both of the midwives I was privileged to work with, however, my experience with Jeni and Alyssa has been the best one of all! They are both so professional yet very calm and kind. They are so ready to answer any and all questions you may have very objectively without pressuring you into any specific direction. They inform you well out of their own experience and education as well as offer many other reputable resources for if your interested. I loved the freedom and confidence I felt for me and my husband to make informed decisions for our family. They are wonderful people and even better midwives. I would love to come back to them if I'm blessed with another baby in the future. Alyssa is a top not doula BTW. I highly recommend her to anyone who may be looking for one! Thanks again, Village Midwives!

— Jackie Carmichael

Absolutely amazing experience! Jennifer (my midwife) and Alyssa (my doula) have been incredible throughout my entire pregnancy. They truly go above and beyond in every way — always supportive, kind, and caring. As a first-time mom, I couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide me through my pregnancy and birthing experience. They made me feel confident, comfortable, and so well cared for every step of the way. They are both such a blessing — I love them to pieces! My first pregnancy and birth went amazing because of them. Highly, highly recommend Jennifer and Alyssa to anyone looking for an amazing midwife and doula team!

— Charnice W

Jeni and her team were great from the jump! With a late transfer of care she made sure I had everything I needed for my birth at home! I never felt pressured, or uncomfortable. She was always available to answer any silly questions and checked in on me throughout the entirety. I am so thankful for her and her team for making my birth a home a reality!!

— Julie Vassiliou

Jeni as a midwife and Alyssa as an assistant are very friendly, very kind , when I have the second kid later I still want comeback to them !!❤️

— Tiara Puteri

Jeni is a wonderful lady! She is personable and very easy to get along with and gives back to her community. She loves students and takes them right under her wing and cares for them and her patients. The best thing is that she allows you to make your own decisions in your birth plan. Very informative and makes you feel at peace. Highly recommend 💗

— Shaina Barnes

I had my baby at home with The Village Midwife, and it was the most peaceful experience. They came right to my house, made me feel safe, and respected every choice I made. I’ll always remember how calm they kept me during labor.

— Michael Vice

If you're like me and you want a more holistic, no hidden agenda, go with your gut environment. This is the place for just that. I'm newer to living in Virginia and hadn't heard anything good from the hospitals around here in the Newport News area, so I started looking at birth centers, and I saw the Village Midwife had almost a full 5 out 5 star rating....awesome! My appointments throughout the pregnancy went pretty great, I genuinely enjoyed talking with Jeni during my appointments, and I felt pretty comfortable with her and her student/interns. They are very non invasive when it comes to your body, which is also a plus. She doesn't push any medicines/vaccines for you or the baby. It's up to you and what you're comfortable with, and I love not having to fight for what I want. Gave me peace of mind. My best experience was the birth. I went with a water birth, and man, was that amazing. I highly recommend it. It is so much nicer on your body overall. You can be in a position meant for birth, and you aren't forced to be on your back. I wanted no interventions, unmedicated again, and I got just that. The water was warm and relaxing, as much as it can be when you're going through contractions. My husband loved the fact that he got to catch our baby girl and be more involved. He loves telling people about it. We got our skin to skin and feedings in and were just able to relax afterward, no one asking to poke and prod our baby right away, to weigh her and whatnot. Overall, I felt well cared for, and I felt like I was in control throughout the whole pregnancy/birth. This was a great experience, and if we have any more kids, I'd love to keep going here.

— Jessica Hanrahan

Had my first baby with Jeni and am seeing her again for my second! Down to earth friendly staff. If you’re looking for someone who will support YOU and YOUR requests at all costs then this is the place to come! Everyone is welcome no matter what!

— Alyssa Uhl

My birth was such an adventure and I was so happy to have Jeni and her team of midwives by my side. They took great care of me up to my birth but due to unforseen unfoldings I had to go to the hospital. The ladies all stayed in contact with me the entire time and I know for a fact would have dropped everything and met me at the hospital. Everything happened so quickly. The after care felt like home and they were so sweet with home visits and always checking in. It feels liek home. After care in the office, I never wanted to leave I would just sit and hang out till the next person came in. You can tell that the hearts of everyone in that office are so involved in their work and they truly care about you and your babe.

— Heather Brandon

My wife and I searched for a midwife who we felt would make us feel comfortable and listen to our concerns. We stumbled across Jeni and her care team. From the moment we walked in the door it felt right. Jeni was so welcoming, understanding and upfront. I feel like when it comes to something as serious as childbirth, you need someone who can FULLY support you BUT be completely frank about the situation and Jeni did not disappoint. Staff: Jeni is the main provider at the village but she does have staff who she is assisting in obtaining their midwifery license and passing along an abundance of knowledge. Facility: Now the building itself needs some tlc but DON'T let that deter you from using The Village. There are several amenities that you will have access to and Jeni will happily assist with any questions or concerns pertaining to said amenities. Care: Me and my family personally felt that we were heard, answered and taken care of. Jeni is available night and day, just work with her if she doesn't answer immediately. Sometimes other families are in the process of adding to their family. :) Unfortunantely, my family was unable to use The Village through childbirth due to unforseen complications, outside of Jeni's control. We were transferred to the nearest hospital and worked with their team AS WELL AS working with Jeni. While we had our daughter 10 weeks early and through an emergency c-section, it was NO fault of The Village. This was one of those tailspins that life throws at you. Overall we were very happy with how Jeni and her staff took care of us even after care was transferred. Finance: While my family has insurance, The Village was out of our network. Jeni worked with us to make payments for her services. I would note that if you need assistance with financing this process, then talk to Jeni and see how she can help. Thank you so much to Jeni and her staff for assisting with the process and birth of our beautiful baby girl.

— Diamond Bartlett

Jeni has been such a blessing to our family! She is down to earth, kind, and an excellent/ very knowledgeable midwife! We highly recommend her services to anyone needing midwifery care!

— Richard S.

Jeni has delivered 6 of my 7 children. She is a wonderful midwife with years of experience and excellent intuition. Jeni has a God given gift and she uses it to bless and serve those around her. She communicates well, she’s so good at what she does, and she makes you feel at ease. You will feel comfortable and confident with Jeni as your midwife. She provides the best prenatal care which ultimately results in your best possible birth. I can’t recommend Jeni Rector at the Village Midwife enough! We love her and she has truly become apart of our family.

— Mrs Mike

My wife, Lindsey gave birth to our beautiful daughter Logan at home in her bed. Jeni provided Top-notch medical care, calm bedside manner, and was the most enjoyable days of my life helping deliver. We had a birth plan and she followed our plan to a T!

— Eric heiden

Beautiful experience! Jeni & Kia will be stuck with me forever ❤️ I want them to deliver ALL of my babies. Very patient & kind people, all around very respectful of your choices & birthing process

— Analadae Payne

Absolute dedication and attention to the mother and baby were the center's absolute priority.

— Joseph Clevenger

Husband here! This place is great.... If you like stuffy old medical facilities where the staff doesn't know you and there's constantly a feeling like nobody cares. Don't come here that won't be your experience. If you like snacks while you give birth and a show tune sing-along mid labor? These might be your people. In all seriousness Jeni and her team are very knowledgeable and professional with an excellent network of other professionals at their disposal. I doubt you will find anyone that cares as much about your birth and your families needs than they do.

— Dan Antignano

The Village Midwife Birth Center epitomizes excellence in maternal care. Under the guidance of Jenni and her remarkable team, I was afforded an unparalleled birthing experience following two traumatic labor and delivery ordeals. Their professionalism, coupled with their unwavering commitment to empowerment and support, has left an indelible mark on my life. Words cannot adequately express my gratitude for the transformative support and care I received. The Village Midwife Birth Center is truly a sanctuary of compassion and expertise. Without hesitation, I wholeheartedly endorse The Village Midwife Birth Center a thousand times over. For anyone seeking the utmost in care and support for a home birth or water birth, whether in the comfort of your own home or within their esteemed facility, this is the singular destination to consider.

— Delilah Galeano

I recommend everyone come here ! The care and support my wife and I have received at The Village is out of this world. Jeni is amazing and more than helpful.

— Emmanuel Miller

WOW! Where do I start? From the moment we met Mrs. Jeni and Mrs. Kia we knew they would be the ones to deliver our miracle baby. Every appointment, every interaction, every unexpected event, they were there ready to assist in the most professional loving way. They have truly become a part of our family. During delivery (well after, lol inside joke) they were super attentive to the entire family. Ensuring we were good, answering questions and catering to me as the mother. I could go on and on but I think anyone reading this would get the point. This team is nothing short of AMAZING. I have the utmost trust and faith in them and would recommend them a thousand times. Jeni, Kia and team... thank you for allowing God to use you the way He does. Kia you are an amazing student and Jeni you are an amazing teacher what a dynamic duo. We love y'all to the moon and back!

— Tonya “Tea G.” Richards

Village Midwife provides a very personal and laid back environment! You’re not TOLD what you have to do, if there’s another option to do something, they’ll offer it. There’s no pressure at all. They’re very reassuring! Very sweet and helpful. They accommodate as best as they can. Highly recommended! Jeni follows your lead as far as returning back to work & Kia follows your lead in the laboring process as long as it is healthy for you and baby! Id go back IF I were planning to have any more.

— Lynette Mens

I wish I could give Jeni and her team higher than 5 stars. They’re so welcoming and loving. They know their stuff & they’re just amazing people. They welcome you with open arms and never get frustrated when you ask questions. Having a midwife is SOOOO much better than having a regular obgyn in a hospital. The setting is so laid back and chill. The ladies are so warm and friendly, I will choose them again for any future babies I have!

— BadNewzDelivery

They provided me with the best experience. I felt very supported and cared for my whole pregnancy. Whenever I had a question it was answered with knowledge and kindness. I would definitely have another baby here.

— Allison Orlando

Love the family atmosphere!

— Caitlin Moon

My husband and I just had our first baby last week and thankfully we choose the Village Midwife. We had our boy at their birth center and as I’ve told everyone in my life, I can’t imagine going the “traditional” more common route with an obgyn at a hospital. Not only was my birth an amazing and positive experience, but so was my entire pregnancy because of them. Jeni and her team were there for our family every step of the way and continue to do so postpartum. We are so thankful that we know where we are going for our next pregnancy. If you’re thinking of going to the Village Midwife, do it.

— Lyssa Forrest

Jeni, Kia, and Keila made my first pregnancy/birthing experience beautiful. I chose to give birth at the birthing center which was an amazing experience. They continue to provide me excellent post-partum care. I recommend The Village Midwife to anyone considering an out of hospital birth or individualized care, but even more specifically if you have mental health concerns that may require extra support. Jeni is a strong advocate for mental health and post-partum care. I feel supported and understood and never like a burden. You become a part of The Village. Thank you ladies! Love, The Antignano Family

— Kristen A.

Jeni is the first midwife I have ever received care from and I thought she was amazing. What I love most about her is her sense of humor and welcoming demeanor. She is very family oriented and made my other 2 daughters and boyfriend feel very welcome and a part of the process. Appointments felt like catching up with a family friend rather than taking a seat and waiting your turn at a traditional doctor's office where they rotate you and aren't personable. If you are looking for a friend to guide you through your prenatal, labor and delivery, post partum experiences, I would highly recommend Jeni. Just for reference after a long, back labor at home, I decided to finish my delivery at the hospital. Jeni was gracious and understanding and made my transition there a breeze. I was able to call her during my stay and get some advice and still receive post partum care through her.

— Lauren Crowley

I can’t say enough how amazing Jeni and her team were for me during my pregnancy and delivery. Keila and Kia were so kind and helpful. All of my prenatal appointments felt like hanging out with friends. The delivery was amazing and I never questioned Jeni’s professionalism or knowledge. I am so thankful I found her. After three hospital births, we had the home birth I was always hoping for.

— Jeana Masters-Publico

After finding out I was pregnant, pregnancy care did not get off to a good start. My stress levels went away when I started working with Jenni and her fabulous team as my Midwife to support me through my first pregnancy. To be able to work with someone who's knowledgeable in the labor and delivery field to give you guidance along my 41 weeks of pregnancy was a godsend. Jenni was very informative, considerate, and compassionate. Jenni provided me with wealth of information over the course of my pregnancy with additional resources when I asked. I received more assistance and had all my questions answered from Jenni than my OB/GYN. For first time mothers, and repeating mothers, I 100% recommend Jenni at The Village Midwife, LLC as your Midwife.

— Johnnishia Rouse

Jeni and her staff are amazing! We decided to go with Jeni after interviewing her because of her relaxed demeanor, knowledge, experience, honesty and bubbly personality. We had an amazing homebirth and received the best of care before and after delivery.

— amy hinshaw

After a traumatic high-intervention hospital birth, I was looking for a provider that was informative, considerate, and compassionate. Jeni and her team are all that and more - I received a wealth of information over the course of my pregnancy from her and was always provided with additional resources when I asked. The whole team fostered a safe and comforting atmosphere that set me up for the most relaxed birth experience I could ever imagine. 100% recommend this birthing center and team

— Madeline Fedoris

I have been wanting to put this review up for a while.. but have been very busy with my 2 month old :) I can’t thank Jeni and her amazing team enough! I was 32 weeks pregnant when I reached out to her. I wasn’t happy with my current care at that moment and didn’t want to do another hospital birth. I called and she welcomed me immediately.. she was so supportive from day one. Very positive. I had low iron 9.1 at 34 weeks pregnant and we got it up to 11.4 in two weeks with her recommendations. I can’t say enough about my birth.. it was so magical. They set the birth room up so so sweet. When I got there at mid nite( after 1 hour of driving) it was so worth it to see Jeni and her team. They supported me through the whole labor. I wanted to give up some times but with their support I didn’t :) they made sure everything was safe with me and the baby. I still can’t believe I gave birth the way I did! It was amazing! Don’t hesitate to try birth centers! They have a great practice, they are very respectful the way you want to do things. You are the boss of your body, you are free! No body is telling you what you can’t do. All positive! I love you guys!! Thank you so much…

— sümeyra sarıboğa

I just had my first child a few weeks ago, and Jeni and her team were so incredibly supportive, kind and informative. She was recommended to me through my doula, and they both were amazing. I wish I had the words to describe how important my birthing experience is to me and Jeni gave me all of the information I needed to make the best decisions for my son and she supported our health every step of the way. The next baby I have, she’ll be my midwife as well. I suggest her for any melanated woman (and every single woman) who is looking for care that puts you in the drivers seat of bringing your baby earthside. She still reaches out to me and provides support during times when I don’t come to her office and has become apart of my family. If you’re looking for a midwife- she’s the one!! Adrianna, Jerika and Celena were also amazing and the sweetest women I’ve had the pleasure of meeting!

— Ruscha Hillman

Jeni and her team are the best, they have always been there for me and helped me with all my questions and concerns. She made the whole experience less stresfull and made feel understood and not judge. As a first time expecting mother and very far away from my entire family I felt at home and have been treated like family and with a lot of care. The practice is very welcoming, very relaxing and clean. They also helped me with latching and made sure that my mental health was okay and treated my fears with respect. I loved having them as my pregnancy team and would recommend them to everyone

— Gabriela Avram

I love Jenni ❤️and her staff! If you are looking for COMFORT, PROFESSIONALISM, EXPERIENCE and above all a LOVING midwife then look no further. I walked in nervous I wouldn’t like her or be accepted, being a Registered Nurse made me aware of some things but learning to trust my own body over medical science was new to me but down to the moment I pushed my healthy baby boy out, I was empowered mentally and supported physically. It felt at home during my check ups, almost like a decompress session all about baby and I to lay back relax and TALK! The birth day , Jenni was there ASAP, and everything moved quickly but she managed baby, myself and my wholeee family well. She allowed me to set the scene and paste. Afterwards I was catered to lol helping baby and I clean up, shower, bed, breastfeed and eat. The process was way better than being in a hospital being bothered non stop, hooked up to in necessary machines, given costly or extra medication or fluids... the list goes on of why I chose a home birth but I’m just satisfied I went with Jenni ❤️

— chanta benjamin

Jeni and her staff at The Village Midwife, LLC. are amazing. I switched to her when I was halfway through my first pregnancy because I wasn't happy with my OB and I wanted to have a homebirth. She was more than accommodating and we instantly clicked! She is very knowledgeable, relatable, loving, caring and honest. She truly treats her clients like family and thats what she is to us. She answered any questions me and my boyfriend had and made him and myself feel like we were fully capable of birthing our first baby with ease. I struggled with my iron and my blood sugar was a little elevated but Jeni's recommendations increased my iron and kept my blood sugar levels normal to ensure I could safely continue with my homebirth. Overall, it was a beautiful experience. She was there through it all and made me feel so comfortable and empowered throughout my pregnancy and birth. God truly sent her to me and we were so thankful. We obviously couldn't stay away so we had another homebirth with her for our second baby a year later! Lol. We love her and I highly recommend her and her wonderful team ❤

— Christina Speaks White

Jeni and her team took fantastic care of me and my family. I previously felt like a number, had to get a babysitter for my older kids for each appointment (during COVID-19), and had to wait for 30 + minutes before my call was even answered with my previous OB group. Jeni treated us with respect, got back to us quickly in regards to our concerns/questions, and provided customized care to our needs and wants. We has a great experience!!! I would recommend Jeni to any pregnant friend looking for a midwife!

— Cameron Plourde

Jeni and her team were AMAZING! I had my dream birthing experience. Very relaxed, natural, and empowering.

— Destini Rose

I hired Jeni for my water home birth in 2020. My experience was pleasant. I loved the birth center where my prenatal were and I felt I had all the information I needed for a successful home birth.

— Kyla Carlos

I cannot speak Highly enough of Jeni and her team. They cultivate such an environment of unity, family and love. She has no problem answering any questions that you may have. Any time I had a concern they were there to answer my questions no matter the time of day. I was even able to have all my kids and husband with me at all times. I felt so reassured in my ability to birth at home during my time with them. This was my 5th birth and I wouldn't have had it any other way. After traumatic hospital experiences my experience with her was literally life changing. I still can see her face telling me how great I am doing and how beautiful I looked during my labor. She was everything that I needed. She serves the community in such an amazing way making mothers feel wanted and welcome from all backgrounds. I learned how much I had a passion of my own for midwifery that I became a student midwife myself. I love her and her team so much. I can't wait to do it again with her.

— Adrianna Pryor

Jennifer Rector was my midwife for my first birth. She helped me build confidence in my decision to birth my first child at home and encouraged me to research so much more than *just* the birth. I learned so much from her that I went on to pursue my own midwifery licensure, become a doula, lactation consultant and child birth activist. I love her caring attitude and that she can be silly or serious at all the right times. She will pray with you when you need it most, take you seriously when you yell at her because you are laboring and don't believe she can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich as good as your husband and she will laugh with you when it's all over! I went on to have three more children at home and wished every time that I hadn't moved eight hours away because I would have loved to have her by my side again. She loves you like family and really listens when you need her. She took me on late in my pregnancy when I decided I didn't want to birth in a sterile military hospital and I have been ever so grateful for the divine intervention which led me to her. One interview with her and you'll never go back to your OB again!

— Alicia Ferrante

This is my fifth pregnancy, third with the village. I love them. They'll love you.

— Elizabeth Berg

Jeni and her team are such a special group of people. I have had two previous water births but this was my first home birth. I loved the whole experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Village Midwife to anyone.

— Dana Seay

I highly recommend Jeni and her team! Very professional but still feels warm & welcoming. I’m so thankful for her practice, it allowed me to birth my son on my terms. If you’re on the peninsula and need a midwife visit her!

— Kyla

I was desperate to get out of the "on call" model of care where you get shuffled between doctors for appointments and stuck with whoever happens to be there when labor begins. Jeni, Amy, and Ady were exactly what I was looking for and more. Their care, friendship, and laughter made me look forward to prenatal appointments. They challenged me to do my own research and know what was going on with my body and my baby and encouraged me to make decisions to promote a healthier pregnancy. They did not consider my older children a hindrance to our appointments, instead they provided toys and books and love. I trusted 100% that my health and my baby's health were their #1 priority. They supported me beyond what I have ever experienced from a care provider. Now that my baby is born I feel like I lost some friends since I'm not going to see them every few weeks - but I didn't lose them. They are there helping countless other families and waiting for me for next time, ready to keep loving me and my babies.

— Stephanie Shoulta

Jeni and her crew are amazing! They are very kind, supportive, respectful, informative, & caring. She gave me lots of good advice, recommendations, and donations; crock pot, juicer, bottles, plate sets, baby cloths, food etc!!! And my birth experience went exactly how I wanted it to! My water birth was easy & amazing! I’ll definitely do it again. The Village Midwife is family! 💕

— Domo Nique

Great midwife you can tell she really loves what she does and really loves her moms. Got up in the middle the night for a false alarm and didn’t even gripe about it. It’s a wonderful place and I’m glad our daughter could be brought into the world here!

— Patrick McGuire

The village midwife is a wonderful group they care for the mothers they serve. This groups is very knowledgeable and puts mamas first.

— Krystal Martin

I had a wonderful experience at The Village Midwife!! Jeni and Amy were tremendously helpful and supportive during my 18 hours of hard labor, delivery, and afterbirth. I highly recommend The Village Midwife to every woman and family. Here I am, baby #2 and I don't trust anyone but Jeni and Amy with my pregnancies.

— McCala Copeland

Pregnancy, birth and labor can be very frightening and even stressful. Jeni and Amy work relentlessly to make sure this experience is as calm and joyful and totally personal as each mom has their own desire of ehat they want labor and delivery to be. Thank you both for ALL you do, definitely wish I'd them for all my pregnancies. They're the best!!

— Caralea Getten

Love this midwife! And awesome birth center! ❤️

— Tammi McKinley

Absolutely wonderful! They were my saving grace through my pregnancy when there were issues with Langley. I recommend them to anyone and everyone needing a midwife!

— Sadie Watkins

Absolutely wonderful experience!! I was able to have an informed and supportive experience that I did not receive with my first birth (at the hospital). As a result I was in control and able to have a successful VBAC. My questions were answered, my fears were relieved and my decisions weren’t questioned. I will definitely be going back for future children ☺️

— Sarah Woodward

Update: here we are in 2019 and Jen has done it again for my family. Just recently delivered our 6lb 11oz baby girl with the continuous support and guidance of The Village Midwife. Plans change and things happen so this baby wasnt born at home like we had hoped, but Jeni's discernment guided us to hospital before our transfer became an emergency due to a very stubborn cervical lip. I was terrified. I was in agony. However, the calm and caring demeanors of Jeni and Amy carried me through the storm. They stayed by my side through the birth. They reassured me what I already knew. Transferring and utilizing an epidural to aid in rotating my baby did not equate to "failure". It's ok to need help and it is best to get it before true danger arises. Thank you for providing your wisdom during my sweet Connie's delivery. I love you women deeply. Jen is one of the kindest women I've ever met. Her positive disposition and enthusiasm for pregnant/birthing women is contagious. She supports and respects women from all walks of life in their birthing desires. I'm so excited to see what 2017 will bring for her birthing center. She is an asset to the community that is severely taken for granted. Thank you for your support and education, Jen. May God bless you in all of your endeavors.

— Hannah Welling

This is an amazing group of midwives...so passionate and knowledgeable

— Kelly Krieg

Jeni and Amy are so passionate about supporting women and their choices. They have nurturing spirits and a complete commitment to what they do. As a mother and a birth doula, I love watching the way they care for women with their whole hearts in such a loving and respectful way. I would recommend them over and over to any woman wanting a caring, personal, and knowledgable birth team!

— Erin Mattingly

I absolutely love The Village Midwife! Wonderful people, wonderful experience, feel like family to me now. 💗

— Jessi Shupe

I had the most amazing experience with Jeni and her team. I was so blessed to have people advocate for me my entire pregnancy and make sure I had things the way my family desired. I was supported so well during labor, and I couldn't have asked for a more beautiful birth experience. The only downside is it's ruined all other doctors for me! I know I'll never receive this level of care anywhere else

— Jess Tran

Would recommend to every pregnant woman I know, it’s so sad all the rights and choices you miss out when going to an OB. They made sure I had the birth I wanted and reassured me when I had doubts. From the first time I walked in I felt at home. The experience you get is like making a lifetime friend, not just some random doctor who you know nothing about. Hands down will definitely be seeing them if I’m ever pregnant again.

— Freedom4Moms

"How do you find a word that describes Jeni?" (The Sound of Music). That is a hard one. I truly can't put into words the peace and tranquility and beautiful, amazing experience that Jeni and her staff gave both my husband and I. It didn't take any time at all for this group of wonderful women to become my friends. They encouraged me and supported me. They respected my wishes. I didn't feel like a number or even a science project like a doctor's office always makes me feel. These girls made me feel valued as a person. They respect your personal boundaries, even down to asking permission before touching your belly for routine examination. I came under Jeni's care in my second trimester, after we had just moved across the country and I had no insurance at the time. She helped me navigate the insurance problem. She and Amy and Kelly put up with all of my stupid first time mom questions and alleviated the anxieties I had over becoming a parent. I've often thought back to my hormone caused temperament problems and wondered how Jeni and her team can continue to be so gracious and loving and seem to never tire of what they do. We had our daughter in Jeni's birth center. It was a quiet, peaceful, and comfortable setting. There were no glaring hospital lights or pushy hospital staff. Jeni and her team were there to assist and instruct and ensure that nothing went wrong, but never did they become invasive or interfere. It was like they stood guard while I and my husband welcomed our daughter to the world, who arrived healthy and perfect in every way. It truly was a beautiful, meaningful experience that we will never forget. Jeni and her team are so special and truly have such a wonderful gift. I hope they never stop doing what they do!

— Lyn D

Where do I even begin? Jeni and her team are beyond amazing. They took me in as a client at 37 weeks and helped me to achieve the most peaceful and amazing birth experience I could have imagined. They are so supportive and encouraging! Here I am two weeks later, and they have helped me through some stressful moments and helped me to feel more like myself than I have in a LONG time. I’m still shocked at how peacefully this transition to mommy of two has gone, and I absolutely attribute it to how supportive and encouraging they have been to me. Being sure I’m not forgetting to take care of myself and get adequate rest and recuperation after having my daughter. So to Jeni, Amy, and the girls...a huge THANK YOU for helping me feel like me again! <3

— Jessica Johnson

Jen is the absolute best! She makes you feel 100% at home and comfortable with whatever questions and concerns during pregnancy. Would recommend a million times over!

— Brogan Cabrera

Jeni was just learning her skills when I had my 7th baby. I gave her some challenges! She was caring and professional. I felt safe and secure. It was my last baby. I have sweet memories and she made that possible! I wish I had more so she could have delivered them.

I'm so blessed to have Jeni & the team again! This is our 3rd birth using The Village Midwife for a planned home birth. She has been so great to work with us and help provide us with amazing vbacs, we have had such beautiful births! I love that she is flexible to our level of needs. Jeni has become a treasured friend over the years.

We've seen Jeni for each of our five pregnancies in the last 10 years, and absolutely love her. She pays close attention to all aspects of importance, and is very knowledgeable and capable-- always reassuring even in a hospital setting. We very much trust her opinions when it comes to our prenatal care, and highly recommend her to every one we know looking for midwifery care!

Jeni is so knowledgeable and warm, she fit right in with our family. She cared about our baby as if she were her own and gave us a peace of mind that was priceless.

Jeni has helped me through two pregnancies. Most recently was a home birth. Specifically, a water birth. She and her team were amazing. They gave me the birth I dreamed of having. They were so supportive and encouraging when I needed them to be. I was nervous of labor/birth all through my pregnancy. They reassured me and answered any questions I had. I highly recommend The Village Midwife, LLC to anyone who wants to avoid hospitals. I will definitely be going to her for my next pregnancy if we are still in the area.

Jeni is a beautiful, kind, and warm person. She offered hope and help when my OB would not. I highly recommend her to anyone I can, and will definitely hire her for my midwifery needs in the future!

Jeni and her team are some of the most amazing women you will meet during your birth journey. Whether this is your first or fifth baby, you will want her there every step of the way. Compassion and kindness are at the heart of her business and she will make sure that you and your family have a wonderful and safe pregnancy experience. I am truly blessed to have crossed paths with The Village Midwife in my birth journey who saw me through my prenatal and postpartum care. Jeni and her wonderful team helped facilitate the beautiful and safe delivery of my baby girl. It was an experience with this team I will always treasure.

Jeni is not your traditional midwife- she is chaos, and love, and all things incredible rolled into a wonderful woman. You can ask her any question, or text her for any reason, and she is there for you. If you need someone flexible and willing to do anything to help you, Jeni is your woman.

Jeni is an amazing midwife! She delivered my third baby at home and it was such a wonderful, peaceful experience, and she takes a variety of insurances including tricare standard!

Jeni delivered my first born in 2013 and was an incredible midwife. She is very concerned, loving, and holistic. We had such a great experience with Jeni - that all future experiences have been bland. If you are presented with the opportunity to receive prenatal care from Jeni, don't pass it up. :)

Jeni is amazing. We loved how welcoming and real she was. She took the time to answer all of our questions, and we just felt comfortable with her from the beginning. She was so reassuring during our birth as well, and stayed afterwards to help clean up a bit, helped me get a shower, and made sure we were all settled in before she left (we had a home birth). We will hopefully be able to use her again if we are blessed with another baby!

— Jenn Baker

Jeni is an amazing midwife!! She's very friendly, encouraging and she'll make you feel right at home from the very first visit. I would definitely recommend her over and over!!

— Alyssa Daneri

Amazing woman. She was a complete support from day one. I felt empowered, encouraged and loved and cared for. Very laid back and made me feel at ease. If we were having anymore kids I would certainly be calling her up again. It was the best birth experience I have had of all three. Thanking God for her! She also works well with military and Tricare payments. No stress! Complete confidence in her! Would highly recommend her.

— Annie Barnette

The Village Midwife is amazing! I can't say enough good things about Jeni! She gets it! Do yourself a HUGE favor and give her a call. Besides having an amazing birth center, she takes insurance too!!
