I am a past client of Tracey and Sonia's and had multiple students in my time there. Every experience and encounter I had with Tracy, Sonia, my students Anne, Coral and Spencer was so wonderful, as well as all the front desk staff and anyone I ran into in the halls! You're a very busy clinic, and I always felt like a priority. I always felt listened to. I always felt like my midwives had my back and were there to support ME and my choices. I always felt like my pregnancy mattered. I didn't realize how important these things were until my second pregnancy in a new city with a new clinic. Thank you for being an incredible team and making this crazy experience for parents a lot easier. Your professionalism and support is the bar I hold others accountable to.

I highly recommend Midwives Collective! Every Midwife I've interacted with has been wonderful, especially Tracy. It's a very supportive environment where the care providers really take the time to answer all your questions.
I gave birth back in May during the first wave of the pandemic. During the birth my midwives were unprofessional, continually arguing with each other, and disorganized. The repeatedly blamed the hospital for their own issues. I was surprised that the nurses at the hospital were the ones who were more holistic - calm, helpful, and attentive. The midwives (at least the 2 I had) were terrible at any medical interventions such as taking blood or putting in an IV. One literally squeezed my arm to collect blood in a vial, and the other left my arm bruised from multiple failed attempts to start an IV (and I have enormous, super easy veins, according to any other medical professional). Then she took my IV out even though I still needed it and had to do the whole thing over again. Later at the hospital a nurse gave me an IV on one attempt and no bruising. I had to ask repeatedly after my daughter was born if I could try to feed her because they were so busy arguing. For 3 hours I lay on the hospital bed with my partner and baby by my side listening to them arguing, and also repeatedly advising me that I should sleep because this was the only time I would be able to for a while - as though that was possible with them bickering in the room. Next time, I'm just going to stick with an OB - this was not at all what I expected from midwives, and I would say 100% that the nurses and doctors I saw at the hospital were more skilled in their field.
If you are looking for pregnancy care providers who are the epitome of dedication, go into care with Midwives Collective. It is like being cared for by aunties with medical degrees! The best of science, experience, and love. When you work with a midwife in this collective you benefit from the entire community's knowledge and experience.
I went in for an ultrasound and I had lost the baby. I could tell something was wrong but the technician couldn't tell us anything. It took the Midwives Collective two days to contact me about the results. I was trying to contact my midwife and the clinic but I couldn't get in touch with anyone and I felt completely unsupported. After my midwife finally called to tell my partner and I the news, she never followed up ever again. I had to have an operation which was not done well and I had to rely on my GP to get the necessary medical support afterward. I would never go back here and would not recommend it to any woman looking for the proper support during her pregnancy.
