"I had a home birth with midwife Mary Langlois and loved her.  She was my doula for my son's birth in a hospital and helped me have a natural birth in an extremely medically oriented hospital.

When I became pregnant with my daughter I knew that I wanted a home birth and asked Mary to be my midwife.

Her care prenatal, during labor/ birth and postpartum was amazing.

She works from the assumption that women know their own bodies and that having decided on a home birth you have come to an educated decision about birth and your options.  At all times she gave me confidence in my decision and my ability as a woman to birth naturally. 

Mary viewed my pregnancy not as a medical condition but a natural process involving my whole self, body, mind and heart.  I felt very well looked after, much more so than I had with an OB during my first pregnancy.  She also had a wealth of information resources available when I had any questions, giving her input, that of others if I asked.

Her presence at the birth was loving, reassuring and confidence building.  When I expressed fear she helped my work out why and work through it. She gave my husband the confidence to lovingly support me letting him be my main help where he wanted to be it.  My three year old son was in and out and curious as only a three year old can be. 

I highly recommend a home birth and would do it again, with Mary as my midwife. It was amazing for the whole family, and so wonderful to have everyone leave and then you can go to sleep in your own bed!"

"Mary is a gift to pregnant women and their families.  She is grace, compassion, and unconditional love.  During one of the most transformational  times in a woman's life she guides, cares and empowers her through the journey of motherhood.  She enables the woman to connect with her intuition about the needs of her body and her developing child by listening deeply to her and then encouraging her with words of wisdom and understanding.

During a time that is full of    unknowns and what if's, she creates an experience that is filled with harmony, joy and peace. What she brings into the miracle of motherhood redefines the standard that should be set. 

Thank you and forever grateful"

"Mary is such a nurturing and highly knowledgeable midwife who truly does let your voice guide her care. Mary is giving women the opportunity to have a homebirth and changing the world one birth at a time. We feel blessed to have received such good care."

"I honestly can't convey what a truly wonderful and exciting experience it is to labor and birth at home. When we first started interviewing midwives, I knew I wanted someone that not only I could connect with, but someone my husband would like as well. (The first midwife we interviewed didn't even introduce herself to him.)

We wanted someone who would speak to us like the educated people we are, but who wouldn't burden us with "what ifs". Both my husband and I were amazed when we first met Mary. She radiated such a calm and happy feeling. She was glad to speak with us and happy to answer questions, often spending close to two hours with us for each prenatal visit. She reassured us when we had concerns and made us both feel confident and sure of the decisions we were making. Throughout my entire pregnancy I felt very well cared for.

My home birth couldn't have gone better. Again, Mary was our pillar of strength and our guide. It was a blessing for my husband and I to know that we had someone so knowledgeable to guide us through and reassure us. Thank you, Mary, for all the love and kindness you showed us during this special moment in our lives."

"I trust Mary implicitly. She did all she said she would for me and my baby and far more. My respect and love for Mary are deep and abiding. She is a dear friend and has endless capacity to care and tend to the needs of others.

I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone."

"We are so grateful to Mary for her vast knowledge, love and support through both of our amazing and beautiful pregnancies and home births.  Her presence is confident, peaceful and compassionate. During our first birth, Mary encouraged us to trust the process and to come into the power within.  Through our second birth, we were inspired to take our birthing journey further and felt empowered to own our experience. 

Mary’s visits were always very thorough and she got to know us intimately, allowing us to let it all flow naturally.  She has much to share from nutrition, to the emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy and birth.  We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better midwife."

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.  Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.  It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us…

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.  As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

By Marianne Williamson

"Mary, thank you for letting your light shine and sharing in our liberation. As a result, we have had two safe, healthy, beautiful home births.  We wish you much success with your important work of empowering women and families to let go of their fear, step into the light and trust the magnificent power of birth."

"Having Mary serve as our midwife was more than we could have hoped for. She made herself completely available to us. She was incredibly knowledgeable with lots of practical experience and always had the answers to our many questions. We loved her philosophies regarding prenatal and postnatal care and her thoughts surrounding the role of the midwife in the birth process.

Mary was all about listening to me and my needs throughout my pregnancy and especially during my birth. She respected and went along with my wishes and my vision even when it wouldn’t have been her first choice. If we were not moving to another state, we would have Mary be our midwife for all of our future births. We really cannot say enough about how much we appreciate all that Mary did for us during this life-changing experience. 

Thank you Mary from the bottom of our hearts. We will be forever grateful."
