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.

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!

Mrs. Jeni has been the best blessing in my life besides my children. What she has done for me so far has helped me and my family so much. I couldn’t ask for a better support person by my side and I truly an greatful for her and her staff. 😌

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.

Mrs. Jeni allowed me to interview her. She is funny, down to earth, and authentic. I can see her heart for women and newborns. Mrs. Jeni loves what she does and that’s important! The information she expressed to me was very informative!!

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.
