Megan Desrochers CPM LM Midwife in Buckeye, AZ

As a first-time mom, choosing Megan at Sun Valley Birth & Wellness was the best decision I could have made. She cared for me throughout my entire pregnancy with thorough prenatal appointments and clear guidance on how to remain healthy and low risk. I always felt informed, supported, and empowered. My physical, mental, and spiritual health were all key talking points during each appointment. Megan’s calm and hands-off presence allowed me to have a fully physiological birth where I felt completely safe and trusted. I had full confidence in my body and its capabilities. I was able to completely focus on my contractions because I knew if anything were out of the ordinary, Megan would know and would take action. What meant the most was how she cared for me afterward. She stayed for hours, ran a healing sitz bath, cleaned me up, helped me into clean clothes, and even spoon-fed me soup. Before Megan left my house, my husband and I were tucked in our bed with our baby and I was clean, comfortable and healing. I have never felt so taken care of in my life. This allowed me to pour my focus onto my newborn baby girl. If you’re considering a home birth in the West Valley of Arizona, I cannot recommend Megan enough. I will absolutely be using her again for future home births.

My experience was absolutely wonderful! Megan and Kristyn made me feel comfortable and heard. Megan is such a caring person, she was always available when I had a question or needed something. The communication between was perfect! When it came to the actual birth day I was taken well care of before, during and after. It was just amazing. I would choose Megan all over again and I recommend Megan to mommas who are looking to home birth for the first time. She is truly amazing at what she does. 10/10 🙌

I had my first homebirth, this was my third baby, third unmedicated birth, but first homebirth. What a spiritual experience! ✨ I hired Megan & I absolutely loved her and her student midwife, Kristyn throughout my entire prenatal care, birth, and postpartum. Megan is professional, caring, and easy to communicate with. She is quiet and listens to understand & hold space—not just to respond. I highly recommend her if you're in the West Valley. 🧡🌞

I had the most incredible home birth experience with Megan! From prenatal visits through postpartum care, she offered not just exceptional medical expertise, but deep compassion and calm reassurance. My labor progressed quickly into a water birth, and Megan handled everything with such grace and confidence. I have diastasis recti, which can complicate things, but Megan’s skill in aligning baby and supporting my body made all the difference in encouraging my little girl arrive. Kristyn was also such a calming and wonderful support—together, they created the most peaceful, empowering birth space I could have hoped for. I’ll forever be grateful for Megan and Kristyn. They honored my body, my choices, and the sacredness of the moment. If you’re considering a home birth, I cannot recommend Sun Valley Wellness enough!

I had the privilege of working with Megan from Sun Valley Birth & Wellness during my pregnancy and birth experience. I can’t express enough how grateful I am for her support and knowledge. This was my first child and I had all the questions about pregnancy and birth. Megan took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all of my questions and never made me feel uncertain. She was calm and reassuring through the LONG hours of labor and delivery. Megan stayed with us after our baby was born to ensure we were both doing well. Even through postpartum, Megan continued to check in, make sure that we were adjusting well and offered any help during the early days of our parenthood journey. I would recommend Megan to anyone that is looking for a supportive, caring and empowering midwife. Thank you, Megan, for everything!

— Samantha Deatherage

I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience with Megan. From the very first appointment, she made me feel heard, respected, and completely supported. This was my third baby and I had never experienced this level of care prior to Megan. If you are looking for someone who is compassionate, highly skilled, and truly passionate about her work, I wholeheartedly recommend her.

— Nicole Lamphere

I cannot say enough good things about Megan!! She was an absolute Godsend during my home birth. From the very beginning, she brought such a calm, reassuring presence that instantly put me at ease. Any fears I had melted away in her care—her confidence, compassion, and expertise made me feel safe, supported, and completely seen throughout the entire experience. As a Christian, it meant so much to me to have a midwife who not only respected my faith but shared it—praying with me, speaking life and encouragement over me, and helping me stay centered in God’s peace even during the most intense moments of labor. She is truly an expert at what she does—professional, prepared, and incredibly intuitive. I trusted her 10000% then, and I would trust her with every single one of my future births without hesitation. She is truly a blessing, and I thank God for leading me to her. If you're considering a home birth and want someone you can trust with your whole heart, Megan is the one!

Everything about my pregnancy and birth experience with Megan was ideal. She was easy to talk to, always went above and beyond to provide me with answers and resources for any questions I had, and gave me many options for how I wanted to do things. I felt safe knowing I was in very capable hands and blessed to be with someone who loved and trusted in God and the birth process. My older kids were welcomed and loved and felt like they were an important part of the process as well. Not only did I feel I had an incredible midwife, but she became a great friend as well. 5 stars, two thumbs up, 10/10 would recommend.

— Raegin Trost

Megan is absolutely wonderful! I came to her later in my pregnancy, and she welcomed me with open arms. This was my 3rd birth but 1st homebirth and it was everything I could have ever hoped for. She made me feel even more confident and comfortable. I am so blessed that she and Tori were the women to help me bring my baby home 💗 I am forever grateful for them 💗

— Jordan Richey

Megan blessed my family so much, she was the best midwife for my birth. Highly recommend Megan and sun valley birth and wellness. We had a complicated birth and she handled the whole situation with confidence and talked us through it every step of the way.

We had a wonderful experience with Megan Desrochers at Sun Valley Birth and Wellness. Being cared for during a difficult pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period by the same provider, let alone a woman so knowledgeable, considerate, and practical - who was herself a mother of five and a churchgoing Christian - blessed my whole family during a challenging season. For one thing, I cannot overstate the value of receiving care in my own home throughout my pregnancy. I already have two small children, and I was so grateful for the convenience and comfort of seeing Megan for appointments at home with my children. In an increasingly impersonal age, I thought many times that Megan’s personal, hands-on, in-person care was too good to be true, but it was! For another, Megan is knowledgeable about the various resources available both nationally and locally, so if she cannot herself answer a question or meet a need, she knows who can. The cost is difficult to consider at first, but when you realize what it includes, it is a bargain. After all, you’re paying in one chunk for all your prenatal, postpartum, newborn, and time-of-birth care, plus a full birth kit that includes birth pool rental. In fact, seeing the practical care and expertise that went into the birth kit alone made me wish I had someone like Megan helping me with my first two babies! She made sure I had everything I needed for the birth, postpartum, and newborn days. I would not have wanted anyone else helping me through this pregnancy and especially the birth!

Megan was very knowledgeable throughout the whole pregnancy and was a wonderful midwife. She made having a peaceful delivery at home possible, and we are so grateful for her and all her hard work.

— Melissa Goodfellow

What a blessing to have found a midwife who not only services the west valley but lives in the west valley too. It brought my husband and I the peace of mind knowing our midwife wouldn’t have to travel far when the time came to deliver our daughter. This was our 4th pregnancy and second home birth. Megan was the most attentive, sensitive, and encouraging midwife I’ve ever had. The bonus is that she loves the Lord and was more than willing to pray for me in times of stress or anxiety, and even just to praise the Lord for His provisions and blessings.

I started seeing Megan November 2023 and gave birth in July 2024. This was our second home birth with a midwife, but my first birth with Megan and what an amazing experience we had with her! She made me feel like a VIP (very important patient). There is so much I love about Megan and Sun Valley Birth: * All the appointments were done in our home and on nice days, we did appointments in our backyard. * She prayed with me at the end of our appointments and during labor. * While in labor, Megan balanced supporting me with also being kind and respectful to my family, specifically acknowledging and engaging with my toddler. * Megan made sure I knew my birth experience mattered to her and never treated us like “just another client”. * She didn’t rush the post birth bonding time to get to the measurements. * She and her midwife assistant cleaned the birthing tub and put a load of laundry in the wash after the birth. * When our visits decreased in frequency (after giving birth) I missed seeing her on a weekly basis. * Through this process I became so close to Megan that she doesn’t feel like just another medical provider, but a family friend that I love dearly.

My wife and I contracted Megan to be our midwife for our second home birth. She was very kind, gentle and understanding towards my wife, addressed all our concerns (we did not have a great experience with our previous midwife), and put us at ease. She kept an open communication with us at all times, and I knew I could count on her to take care of my wife when it was time to give birth. Indeed, when the time came, my wife had slow and unpredictable contractions, and Megan stayed with us all morning. She and her assistant Jada were very patient and helped my wife get as comfortable as she could. Our second home birth was beautiful and memorable thanks to Megan and Jada!

This review has been on my to-do list forever but taking the time to type out (coherent) thoughts is hard when you have a newborn. Now that the baby is older, I am truly delighted to share my heartfelt appreciation for Megan. From the moment she walked into our lives, her caring, sweet, and thoughtful nature made a profound difference in our journey. Her competence and warmth shone through, especially as she encouraged my toddler to be involved. My toddler was very eager to play "nurse" and Megan helped her to listen to the baby's heartbeat and push the cuff button to take my blood pressure. Additionally, we moved states late in my pregnancy and actually transferred care to Megan around 28 weeks. Her sunny disposition and calming presence helped me get to know her quickly. This made the entire experience stress free (which is great since moving in the third trimester was wild and chaotic by itself). Ultimately I had a speedy and uncomplicated home birth and now have a happy, healthy infant. Megan even sent a lovely Mother's Day gift long after my medical care ended! I would happily trust Megan with another pregnancy and birth if that is the route we eventually take. We are deeply grateful for her exceptional support and care during such a special time in our lives.

Megan and her team are angels on Earth. They support and take care of you every step of the way! I have never encountered such genuine healthcare professionals! Highly recommend!!!

— Jenna Rippee

Where to start. My whole family absolutely loves Sun Valley Birth! Megan is the absolute best midwife I have had. This is my 4th baby and one of my best experiences. She is very knowledgeable and has such a calm about her. We would always look forward to our midwife appointments at home! I was previously with a midwifery group that turned very medical minded and I did not like that- so at 30 weeks I decided to switch my midwifery care over to Sun Valley Birth and I’m so glad I did! She was exactly what I had prayed for in a midwife!
