San Diego County Midwives

Can’t say enough on how grateful I am for Gerri and the ladies involved with my prenatal care and home birth. They gifted me the best home waterbirth experience I could ever ask for. Each prenatal meeting was about 1.5hrs long and felt like they genuinely cared for my health and well being. After each appt, I felt like I learned something new each time.
You better believe I’ll be highly recommending these ladies to anyone interested in doing a homebirth, will certainly be using them for my 3^rd birth!

I was 32 weeks pregnant when my husband and I finally slapped the table on having an assisted home waterbirth instead of a hospital birth. We interviewed 3 midwives/​midwifery teams in total however, honestly, we weren’t really interested in interviewing anyone else after we met with Gerri Ryan. She was the first midwife we met with and the only reason we interviewed more midwives was to validate what we already knew: that she was the midwife we wanted at the birth of our son. Quiet, warm professionalism is the best way to describe Gerri. She inspires you with confidence without coming across as overbearing or cocky. We had an epic journey of a labor (48 hours in all) and couldn’t have been happier with the services Gerri and her team provided. She was there with us every step of the way, quietly and unobtrusively ensuring my safety and the safety of our son. Her knowledge of and passion for natural childbirth is very inspiring and her advice helped to resolve several pregnancy related health concerns that I began experiencing late in my pregnancy. Additionally, the post-​partum care is top notch, far surpassing anything that I possibly could have experienced in the care of my former OB. Overall, an extremely positive experience that has convinced both my husband and I that natural home birth is the way to go with all of our subsequent pregnancies.
