I’ve given birth in a hospital attended by midwives and I’ve given birth at home with Jo. I say “with” instead of “attended” because therein lies the difference. Jo is WITH you all the way through your prenatal visits until a few weeks postpartum. It’s an incredible experience.

Natlee, Nettle Wellness Client

If only I could write an entire essay to describe my story. It was a huge goal of mine to have a natural delivery and not go to the hospital at all, and she made that happen for me. I'm very grateful to Jo for helping make it all possible.

Atia, Nettle Wellness Client

I never thought I would so absolutely adore and trust and look forward to seeing a medical practitioner, but Jo is just one of those magical people.
