Belinda loves her house full of boys; husband Jeremy, sons Adam, Sebastian, and Tobias, and boy dog Woolie.
Belinda is the most compassionate woman! She saw my 17 year old daughter who has autism and there was not a hint of anxiety or fear. Belinda talked with my daughter with respect and care. We have had the experience before with medical providers only speaking to me and referring to my daughter only as “her”. What is not to love about Willow?!?
I loved having my baby at Willow. Diane and Belinda provided incredible, personalized prenatal care. My birth was calm, relaxing and unforgettable. I loved the time after birth that my husband and I had with our new baby, as the Willow team took care of us and helped us focus on each other. I would definitely recommend birthing at Willow. Whether for your first birth or fifth birth, it is a wonderful and beautiful environment.
I just love Willow birth center and Belinda and Diane. These lovely midwives have seen me through two vbac births now. The births I had with them, the second being at Willow, were healing and empowering. I recommend these ladies to everyone. You simply won’t find better, more personalized care anywhere.
Love Diane and Belinda! They are thoughtful, respectful and only want what you want! I look forward to delivering at the birth center!
I started with Diane and Belinda both at VWW and had such a great experience with both of them. Diane delivered my first born at which my delivery did not go as planned, however she was exactly what I needed during that time. These women make you feel so comfortable and genuinely care about you. I will follow them wherever they go. They have become true friends. HIGHLY recommended for anyone and everyone. I am so Honored to be apart of Willow!
