Kathya Midwifery

“We can’t thank you enough! Chris and I are impressed with the professionalism and service provided by Lotus Flower Birth Tubs. From start to finish, you and your team are top-notch.

The initial interview was very helpful. Alison spent about an hour with us, describing set-up needs, break-down guidelines, and helping us find optimal spaces in our home for the tub’s ‘home’. She also left us with some information about exploring birth tub movements during labor, which I found very helpful while visualizing a positive birth experience.

When Birth Day arrived, we appreciate how quickly you responded to our call. Set-up was efficient and unobtrusive. Above all, your positive attitude and encouraging words added to the excitement of the day.

I cannot emphasize how happy I am to have had the tub available–warm and soothing–during labor. Every woman should have access to water during labor! In the tub, I was able to get some rest and relaxation–gaining energy that I would definitely need later. Thank you for being a part of our special day!”

“Kathya provided my birth tub for my homebirth in January, 2009. I have spoken with her on a consistent basis since then. She is not only professional, but very friendly. Although I haven’t used her as a midwife – I know  that I will if I have another child. She told me many things about the labor & birthing process my own midwife didn’t mention. Kathya has a comforting personality and demeanor that will put any woman at ease.”

“We chose water birth because we wanted a completely natural, drug free birth for our first baby. I had done lots of research prior to making the decision to have a water birth. My husband, Benjamin, and I were encouraged and excited by all the benefits of water birthing and coupled it with the HyponoBirthing technique.

Once my labor had progressed sufficiently, I got in the tub to deliver. IT WAS HEAVEN! My body relaxed and the pressure and intensity of labor melted away. I was calm and could even carry on a conversation my husband! Because I was so relaxed two pushes is all it took to deliver our little man. I will never have a baby any other way! I’ve made it my mission to spread the good word about water birth. Thank you Kat for being there for us!”
