Testimonials
Kate, Merle, and Jane,
I thought this card was perfect - 'The Three Graces.' Thank you so much for such a wonderful birth experience. You each played different roles - you work so well together. I am always bragging about how comfortable I felt having a home birth and how truly magical it was. I can't thank you enough for affecting so many people in such a positive way. The universe thanks you!
Love and peace,
Peggy
Dear Kate and Jane,
Thank you so much for helping me through my first birth. I really appreciate your stepping in for me on such short notice. It was such a privilege to have a homebirth. I am so glad you were there. You and Jane were the best - especially coming from another birth - I would never had known because you were both so calm and unhurried. I appreciate your professionalism and your kindness. Thank you, for all that you have done.
God bless,
Mary F.
Dear Kate and Jane,
Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of us through my pregnancy and birth. I feel blessed to have had such a beautiful experience, and now such positive memories. I will always remember our walk through West Chester on that beautiful summer afternoon with great fondness.
I only home that you get as much as you give with all the women who are lucky enough to find themselves under your care.
All my love,
Tyler

Dear Rising Moon,
In the past 8-9 months we have gotten to know each other, we have enjoyed your wisdom, appreciated your understanding and the knowledge you have imparted to us. It is funny where life's journey takes you and the people that one encounters on this journey. We were so thrilled to discover your close proximity and the services you rendered were all in alignment for the exact expectations for the birth we wanted for William. We don't think we could have gotten any better prenatal care then as we did with you! Any problems we encountered, you were always there to make sure we were taking the correct action that we felt comfortable with. You kept up with our relentless list of questions. We were intrigued by your approach, knowing how much to intervene or not was very refreshing. Thank you for guiding us through this stretch of our journey to get to William. We hope that our paths cross again.
Love Carolyn, Henry and William

Yours truly,

Dearest Kate, Jane and Merle
Thank you doesn't even begin to express our heartfelt gratitude for all you did as our midwives and bringing our dear Joseph into the world. God has definitely put the three of you together. All three of you have unique gifts and are so full of love and caring for your clients. Greg and I felt total peace having you share Joseph's birth. We appreciate the space you gave us while I was laboring. We thank God for your skill and quick care for Joseph when we experienced difficulties. You responded so well. Lord willing when we are blessed with another child we would love to be your clients again.

Dear Kate, Jane and Merle,
This pregnancy was a tough one for me since I was sick constantly. Despite all of that, you three were always there to quell my fears. I want to say thank you for your faith and confidence in my pregnancy, my body and our newest addition, Nathan. He is such a joyful, happy baby all the time. You truly have, what I believe is, one of the most important jobs in the world, and you do such a wonderful job at it. "You are the heart, you are the hands, you are the voice of spirit on earth--and who you are, and all you do is a blessing to the world." (Drucker)
Blessings,
Sarah and baby Nathan

Patrick is now 20 days old. Sometimes I just look at him and I canÕt believe the miracle that he is. I love to tell people how he came into the world. I canÕt imagine having my child in a hospital with bright lights amongst strangers. My child was brought into the world in his own home, surrounded by his family and friends. My support was incredible. Every time I looked up from my labor, I saw a familiar face. PatrickÕs birth was, without a doubt, the most incredible moment of my life.

Kate, Merle, and the Rising Moon staff are phenomenal women and I am blessed and honored to be working with them in preparation for my upcoming homebirth. I met Kate while I was researching homebirth midwives in the Delaware area in anticipation of conceiving our first child. From our first conversation, Kate radiated a positive spirit and passion for natural birth and I knew that she was very special. I immediately decided that I wanted to work with Rising Moon Midwifery if and when I was blessed to be able to conceive and have a homebirth. From the beginning, Kate has been very supportive, encouraging, informative, sisterly, caring, and she has skillfully guided me in every step of the way from preconception, pregnancy, and now our imminent childbirth. My husband and I are very fortunate to have found Rising Moon and we are thankful and excited to be part of their family. I can't say enough positive things about them! I am looking forward to my homebirth with joyful anticipation and I am totally prepared as I am armed with knowledge, confidence, and love provided by the Rising Moon midwives.
