"Very skilled and good with all kinds of folks."

"When searching for midwives, Janet was the first one that I had found in my area. My husband and I were impressed with her experience and quickly got a meet up scheduled. It was clear to see from the start that she was the midwife I needed for my first home birth. Overall, my first home birth experience was so peaceful despite the chaos going on in my life and having Janet’s presence was very reassuring. She was able to go through all of her emergency medical equipment with my husband and I for peace of mind. Her childbirth education classes were very informative as well, easing my mind surrounding labor and birth. Janet’s philosophy surrounding birth is what I wish the birth world had more of today. I am glad to have Janet’s presence again for my second home birth. "

"Janet's years of experience both as a midwife and family medicine practitioner gave me great peace of mind during my pregnancy. She was always available to answer all my questions with thorough and easy-to-understand explanations. I came to look forward to our appointments as though meeting with an old friend, and highly recommend Janet as a midwife. "

"You will look for a very long time to find anyone with more midwifery and general medical experience than she has. She helped craft the legislation that created the regulatory structure for the re-leaglization of midwifery in the state of Missouri. As well as practicing the craft since the 1970's. "

"It is my honor to recommend Janet whom I have known as a student, mentee, and now respected professional colleague. As a student and birth worker, I have had the privilege of witnessing her dedication to maternal and infant wellbeing firsthand.
Janet demonstrates remarkable integrity, compassion, and professionalism in her work. Her understanding of maternal health, early development, and family dynamics reflects both formal education and deep lived commitment to the families she serves. She approaches caregiving with intention, cultural sensitivity, and respect for diverse family structures.
As an advocate for women, LGBTQ+ families, and communities of color, I value professionals who lead with inclusivity and awareness. Janet consistently shows up with empathy, open-mindedness, and a strong commitment to equity in care. She understands that supporting a family means honoring their identity, values, and lived experience.
She is thoughtful, dependable, and grounded in both evidence-based practice and human-centered care. Families in her care benefit not only from her skill, but from her steady presence and ethical foundation.

"I appreciated Janet service of care for my wife and my miscarriage. She took wonderful care of my wife's other 3 children. I find Janet to be a spectacular person."

"Very intelligent and thoughtful. "

"I have given birth four times in a hospital before and was not satisfied with any of those birthing experiences. Janet was so kind and considerate to listen to my concerns regarding those previous experiences without judgement, with understanding, and validated my concerns and desires for my next birth. Janet also followed through with my most important request - to not be touched when I requested to not be touched. She understood my need to focus on my birth, my need to be in control (as an experienced birthing mother and nurse), she never pressured me, and helped when I asked for help. She allowed me to hold and rub my child into her first breath right after birth. Janet gave me all the support I needed throughout the pregnancy and most especially during labor and birth. I hope she will attend my next birth!"

"Janet has been an amazing Midwife. Her knowledge in her profession has been deeply insightful and reasurring. She had made the whole process of labor and delivery a great experience. I would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting an at home birth. "

"Janet has been in the business a long time and knows her stuff! "

"I've delivered with four different midwives. Of those, I'd choose Janet every time. Janet took amazing care of us in prenatal appointments, especially addressing trauma caused from a previous birth. She took extra time several appointments to address this for me. She was an amazing calm, patient energy during an unexpectedly long, gentle labor, and provided the best postnatal care I could imagine. She was so responsive for all my texts throughout. Amazing person. Amazing care. Amazing midwife."

"Highly knowledgeable and professional. She always answered all of my questions with expertise, while giving me room to have my own opinion. I loved getting to work with her and would recommend her to anyone "
