| Our birthing place for our little girl! |
Kindra and I finally landed on a place to give birth!
After lots of research into insurance options, Kindra
discovered Canyon Medical Center, a heavenly natural birthing center in
Portland’s West Hills. We set up a time
to visit, and what transpired was probably the most mind blowing, amazing
experience we have ever had with a health provider.

We met with Dr. Leslie Hamlett, a naturopathic doctor and
midwife. She gave us a tour of the
birthing rooms, which felt more like classy hotel rooms, complete with large
birthing tubs and comfy beds! Then we
spent the better part of an hour chatting away about our travels, home birth,
and nutrition. It was like she was on
our level, and speaking our language!
Leslie was amazing, I have never met such an authentic or
down to earth medical practitioner. At
the end of our time, she gave us big hugs and welcomed us to give birth
there. Kindra and I were like, oh
yeah! For sure!

| Big, healthy belly! |
Our follow up appointments were just as good, and we feel so
blessed to be a part of Portland’s natural birthing movement.
