All the midwives at Mandala are incredibly genuine and caring. I felt extremely confident in their care and was so pleased with my home birth.

I never imagined that I could receive such well rounded care for my pregnancy. The midwives at Mandala not only took care of me and my baby, but also helped me get through the toughest moments of my pregnancy, labor and birth. My expirence was everything I could have hoped for.

Dear Allegra,
We are so greatful you joined our care team and we got to work with you. You were with us through the most challenging parts of our labor and postpartum period. Your calming presence, compassion and knowledge helped us so much. We can’t thank you enough for all you did.
— Jennifer H.
I had a fabulous birth experience with Mandala. They did a fantastic job educating both myself and my husband about the entire home birth process. I would use Mandala again in an instant.

Dear Allegra,
Thank you so much for all your thoughtful care and sweet encouragement before, during and after the birth. Your serene, soft and strong presence was always so comforting. I have such beautiful memories of your support during my labor.

Allegra, Thank you so much for everything you’ve done to make my pregnancy, labor and birthing experience amazing. You were such a comforting presence and I am so happy you were one of my valued midwives.

Allegra performed my home birth and was absolutely amazing. Although I had a three day labor, complicated home birth (received an IV and had my water broken) and was also offered a hospital transfer to help me rest, we chose to stay home, were supported and had a beautiful, healthy home birth.

“ I just wanted to be sure to let you know what a special opportunity it was for me to assist in a home birth with you. I’ve been to many hospital births, but this was my first home birth. It was the most beautiful, loving, peaceful birth I’ve experienced. You bring a certain strength and calmness to the environment that gives birthing moms confidence. I hope to get to see you in action again someday. Thank you again for making my first home birth a real treat.”
— Shelley Bergstrom Mack, Labor Doula
From the moment I met Allegra, I knew she was going to help me create my ideal birthing experience. She and Amanda worked so well as a team and was able to create a calm energy with anyone else around. Allegra has such a wide array of knowledge. She is a comforting person to be around and has an energy that you want to be around. She was extremely thorough with care for the baby as well as care for me. Her flexibility in care ranged beyond what she presented to me when we first met. She can do it all! An absolute dream. I’d refer her to anyone!

We moved to Central Oregon at 26 weeks pregnant and after receiving mediocre care elsewhere, we started receiving prenatal care from Mandala Midwifery a few weeks later. We loved our experience working with Allegra and Amanda. My baby and I were cared for and made a priority from the first appointment all the way til 6 weeks postpartum. We were blessed to establish a great relationship with our midwife even though we didn’t start our care with her until the third trimester. I highly recommend Mandala Midwifery!

I am SO grateful for the three incredible midwives who attended our birth and for our primary midwife, Allegra, who gave us phenomenal prenatal, birth, and postnatal care! All of our prenatal appointments lasted 1-2 hours and we discussed everything from my physical state, to my emotional wellbeing, to how my husband and I were feeling about becoming parents, to what our hopes were for our birth, and so much more. It was so nice to have continuity of care with a provider who shared the same beliefs I have surrounding birth so that I didn’t have to fight for the type of birth and respect I wanted. Allegra is incredibly competent and skilled. She supported me to have a safe, informed, and empowered birth experience, where I was allowed to trust my body and my baby, and for that I am forever grateful

I didn’t get to start care with these wonderful women until 36 weeks pregnant, and boy do I wish I had the opportunity to spend my whole pregnancy with them! Allegra was amazing, and her student midwife Amber! Any question I had about pregnancy, birth, or baby’s they made sure to answer fully. I always felt super aware of what was happening with my/our care, I always felt supported by both women! My husband and I are a military couple, so he unfortunately wasn’t able to be at the birth but FaceTimed in as much as possible. As much as it sucked and I wished I could’ve had him, I was in amazing hands and the care and support I felt was beyond amazing. Two weeks after birth, we moved to be with my husband so we didn’t get to go the full 6 weeks post-partum either but the over all time I got to spend with them receiving care was very blessed and I’ll eternally be thankful for the wonderful experience I had with these midwifes
