Maggie Bennett, LM

I was blessed to have Maggie Bennett and Caroline Cusenza for my midwives. Such an amazing team. They have perfect yin/​yang balance. They were knowledgeable, wise, and offered the guidance I needed to create the birth experience I wanted. Their calm and grounded demeanors made it easy for me to be relaxed, feel safe and know I was in good hands. They were also fun and really took the time to get to know me and understand what was important to me. I feel deeply blessed to know that my son was received into the world by two such amazing and loving women.

Maggie and Carol are fabulous midwives. They were are midwives for our second child. The care and attention they gave my husband and I throughout our entire pregnancy was superb. Not to mention, they always tried my make my older child (2 yrs old, at the time) a part of the process. At first my husband was reluctant to have a homebirtth but after speaking with Maggie and Carol, his mind was put at ease. They are very knowledgeable and kind women, and answered every question we had throughout the pregnancy with kindness and respect.
After many hours of labor, I decided to be transported to the hospital for main management, Maggie and Carol never left my side… even in the very early hours of the morning. My prenatal and postpartum care were phenomenal. I would hire Maggie and Carol again!

Maggie was recommended to us by a friend, and we had a very positive experience with our home birth. She is knowledgeable, professional, made us feel comfortable, and we had a very non-​invasive, natural birth and prenatal care. We recommend her service!

I am linking a review I completed for Maggie’s apprentice Carol in June 2013 in order to add validity to my review and to counter the negative reviews that have accused Maggie of writing her own reviews.
Everything I mentioned in my June review holds true for Maggie. What I would like to add is the following:
1. As an avid reader of reviews on both Unilocal and Amazon I appreciate negative reviews because it often times makes me think about questions or angles I hadn’t previously thought of … However the negative reviews on her appear to focus personal attacks rather than her professional skills. During your first prenatal visit you sign a waiver saying you understand that full payments must be made prior to your birth and NO REFUNDS will be given in the (rare) event you don’t deliver at home. And why would she?!? Her midwifery business is her livelihood! How often do doctors reimburse their patients when they are not happy with services?! Yeah it doesn’t happen … And why would a PROFESSIONAL midwife make that a policy … After all she is caring for you throughout your pregnancy and birth … Brings your baby into this world … Its not the same as returning a freaking pair of jeans from Old Navy when you get home and realize they make your a$$ look fat.
2. My experience with maggie has left a lasting impression on both my husband and I over two years later. As our daughter turns 2.5 were beginning to think about giving her a sibling. The second thing out of my husbands mouth (after commenting how awesome it was that he gets to get more lovin then usual while we try) was «how are we going to have maggie deliver this one?!» As we are now located 3000 miles away in Rhode Island. We both love her (and Carol!)!
3. Maggie is a through and through professional. When my time in the military comes to an end I will be going back to school to become a midwife … With the high hopes that one day I can even achieve half of what Maggie has!
