“Christy was the absolute perfect midwife to walk us through our first pregnancy & home birth. We felt so protected with Christy's years of experience & knowledge of home births & holistic care. She was even available in between visits for questions & guidance (I could have never texted my previous provider after hours for help about food poisoning mid-pregnancy!).

It was amazing to have her guide us on what to expect for prenatal & postpartum check-ups. At the birth she was so steady, so calm & continued to remind us of our strength until our baby girl made her grand entrance! She even cleaned up our home & set me up for postpartum care far beyond what I had expected but 1000% needed to recover.

We also took Christy's birth education classes & are so grateful we did!! I thought I could find all my info on how to prepare for birth & baby online/Instagram, I really missed the mark! There was so so much incredible info we learned at her classes that were absolutely pertinent during our birth. I strongly believe the preparation & confidence we gained in her classes & having her guide us led to my first time in labor only lasting 7 hours in total. I was able to let my body progress with confidence in each phase of labor, knowing I was prepared for what to expect. Thank you Christy!!

“I love honey midwifery and I love Christy!!! I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon HM when I was 20 weeks pregnant and not feeling satisfied with the prenatal care I was receiving with my OB. Christy went above and beyond from the first moment I spoke to her on the phone until the moment she caught my baby boy in her hands. She helped me trust in my body to deliver my son at home and I am forever grateful for her wisdom in being my guide. She has become like family to me and I absolutely recommend her to anyone thinking about giving birth at home. At the very least give her a call and see for yourself how caring, knowledgeable and loving this woman is. You will get more than a midwife, you will gain a friend.” — By Sheena D.

CHRISTY IS AMAZING.

My husband and I are forever indebted to Christy's midwifery guidance, support, and empowering classes that help us bring our son into the world in a healthy way, without any interventions.

Her Bradley class instruction was fun, inviting, and most importantly made us feel confident about the birthing process. Understanding what would be happening in my body took away the fear of the unknown, and I can't begin to explain what a difference that makes when you're doing the most intense physical thing you've ever done! In fact, we were so well prepared for the birth, and Christy is so clearly on her game as a midwife, that when we showed up at Kaiser at 8cm, they basically let us have a room and left us alone to do our work - it was ideal.

Christy is also just a great person to have in your corner. She is kind, clear, smart, and funny; she'll have you laughing, feeling more informed, and all the while making sure all are on task/target so you reach your goals as best as possible. My goal was a peaceful birth without any unnecessary medical interventions, which were able to do, and I am certain that this is in large part because Christy is a respectful but assertive advocate and she helped us learn to advocate for ourselves.

We treasure Christy and her role in the birth of our son. It gives me pleasure and hope to think of all of the parents and babies she'll support in her career as a midwife.” — By Sara B.

“Christy is a literal angel on this earth. Christy was my doula and Bradley Method instructor, so I was able to get to know and work with her in a couple different capacities. Her training as a midwife also allowed her to be an incredibly knowledgeable and experienced partner throughout my pregnancy and daughter's birth. But knowledge and experience is only one part of working with Christy, as her compassion for me as a person and also for the work she does takes on a life of its own. You will always feel seen and heard when you work with Christy. She picks you up at your lowest moments and cheers you on during your highest, always with the same calm, caring presence. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with Christy as their midwife will be in the most loving, capable hands.” — By Dana S.

“Christy Gochez is absolutely AMAZING. My husband and I feel truly blessed that she was our Bradley Class Instructor and now Midwife! Christy is a thorough, non-biased birth educator in that she will support any decision you make, whether you want a hospital birth and epidural, or a natural birth with a midwife at a birthing center or home, she will 100% support you. What we loved about Christy is how passionate she truly is about mother's, fathers, babies, and education from first trimester to post-partum. It was awesome to go through this process with my husband and have him be trained on how to coach me through a natural birth! Everything we learned we applied to our pregnancy and our beautiful daughter was born SO healthy and happy. I honestly recommend that anyone who seriously values mama and baby's health, anyone who is curious about the birth process, or who wants a natural birth, GO SEE CHRISTY.” — By Monica E.

“Christy is the absolute best! I send EVERYONE I know to her. Being a midwife, doula, Bradley method instructor, and so much more, she is so well-versed on everything you can imagine related to new babies and the birthing process. Not only is she well-rounded in her approach, but she is so personable, intentional in keeping relationships even after baby is born, and just became an awesome friend - although our relationship began as a working relationship, it quickly became more than that, which speaks to her professional and interpersonal skills. Everyone needs Christy!!!” — By Kathy A.

I can not recommend Christy and her services highly enough. I am a birth professional (prenatal chiropractor and birth doula) and initially met Christy when I was new to the area and looking to grow my network. When we first met, I was struck by how warm, compassionate and knowledgeable she was, and I was so grateful to have found someone who I could entrust with my patients.

When I found out I was pregnant myself, I knew that Christy would be my best resource and I signed my husband and I up for Christy's Bradley Childbirth Education classes. The classes were fun (not what you would expect from childbirth classes) and informative, but more importantly they empowered my husband and me to go into the birth of our first child informed and prepared.

Christy also acted as our birth doula and was so valuable to both my husband and me during my labor and delivery. My planned home birth turned into a hospital birth, and what could have been a scary experience was made so much more bearable knowing that we had all the information we needed to make informed decisions and that we had Christy by our sides.” — By Annie Y.
