Dianne is amazing!! I loved having someone who was available 24/7. She always got back to me within a couple hours and since it was my first pregnancy, I had a lot of questions! There is no way an OB wouldve given me that type of response and I wouldve been much more anxious had I not had that. Her group is very knowledgeable and I always felt that they took extra time out of their day if it was needed. Plus, they come to you! They really make you feel like youre a top priority! I highly recommend them!

I cannot recommend Diane and her team more! She is a birthing queen! She was definitely born to do this. I used her with my second birth at home, and it was the best possible birth I could have imagined. I birth in the water and she listened and guided me to have the exact birthing experience I wanted. My first birth was in Florida, and when I sent that midwife Diane’s info, my first midwife said “go with Diane, she’s so experienced!” Not only was she my midwife, she’s now a dear friend for life!

This was our first time doing a home water birth. My husband and I had anxiety about the process but Dianne, Kristen, and her entire team were very patient and comforting during the entire process. They were very attentive and acted as our family.The experience was the best experience I’ve ever had while giving birth. If we ever decide to have another child we will definitely work with sacred Journey again.

I had an amazing home birth experience with everyone from sacred journey, from the prenatal visits, to the birth and then postnatal visits, I felt so much more comfortable than I did at the doctors office. My doctors did not seem to listen to me when I had concerns, sacred journey always listened to my concerns and offered great advice. My home birth experience was amazing as well, it was a much more comfortable and intimate delivery than with my previous whom I had in a hospital. I definitely recommend!

Choosing to have a home birth was the best decision I could of made. Having Dianne and her to team there to guide me through the experience made my birth a memorable experience. I am thankful for all the support and guidance. Knowing I am a working mom she was always flexible with my schedule and understood the stress of being pregnant and trying to run a business.

Dianne & Paige we’re and are an amazing team! We clicked right from the start and never had an appointment that wasn’t full of laughter, or was never a dull moment! All lightness aside, they are professional and extremely passionate. Even though I had physical complications that were out of our hands, they were with me every step of the way! Dianne was still able to assist me at St. Joseph’s in giving birth & never left my side even after sleepless days that were draining on us all. I will never forget how awesome Sacred Journey was to our family. Love these women to death! Love, Tabbi

Dianne and Paige are truly amazing.Superior knowledge and support. Dianne and Paige were with me every steep of the way with my 4th child and first home birth. I feel like every expectation I had of home birth was met and so much more. Of all of my births this was by far the smoothest and quickest. My baby was blessed to be born with such love and knowledge. I felt so supported and comfortable my husband as well as my children feel the same way! Truly a life changing experience

Sacred Journey was nothing less than amazing. It was my third pregnancy, my healthiest and my happiest thanks to Dianne and Paige. For the first time I felt fully educated about everything involved in my pregnancy and all of the choices I could make for my body and my baby. From the very beginning Dianne made my husband and I feel so comfortable. She’s such a loving person with a beautiful spirit. She’ll go above and beyond for you to have the birth you’ve always dreamed of. I am truly blessed!

I came to Sacred Journey fairly late in my third pregnancy. I had really been struggling through my whole pregnancy getting a peace about delivering with the place I had been going before. After my first appointment with Dianne and Paige, I felt completely at ease and knew I was in good hands. My appointments were helpful, and allowed me to talk about things that were important to me. When it came time to deliver, Dianne and Paige were right there to support me, yet gave me space when I needed it. After delivery, things were cleaned up and packed up efficiently. They were also very helpful and continued to care for me during the first few weeks post partum.

My pregnancy and birth experience with Dianne was absolutely amazing. She was with me through my fears, and tears, and struggles, and finally, my moment of joy. She is highly intuitive and has an amazing sense about her mamas. She guided me effortlessly though my childbearing year. If you are looking for a family centered birth experience, look no farther than Sacred Journey Birthing Services!

After much research and meeting a different home birth midwife I chose sacred journey birthing services because I immediately felt at ease and completely confident in Dianne Sellers ability to take care of me during my prenatal, birth and postpartum care. I felt Diannes positive energy right away after talking to her for the first time to set up our consultation. She spent so much time on the phone answering my questions and again in person. I could tell she has so much passion and love for her job and genuinely cares for all her clients (families). I have quite the crew that came with me for my visits and she always welcomed my kids and didnt brush them off when they wanted to talk or participate in the visit. Paige is her student midwife and she lead most of my prenatal care but Dianne was always there to ensure nothing got missed. Paige and Dianne have a very unique partnership and work so well together. Diannes intuition is amazing too. Their knowledge and care exceeds any care that I had previously. This was my 5th baby and My only regret is that I wish I found her before my 5th! After my son was born you could see the joy in their eyes and I felt like my son was born not only into my family but theirs. These ladies care so much for their clients and babies and you see they dont treat you as a number or $ in their pockets. Diannes wisdom, experience, knowledge, care and passion is what every mother deserves to experience.

Dianne was assisting midwife for my 6th baby born at home. Midwives came in the door just in time to catch my son. 1 hour labor. I loved Dianne so much and the energy she brought that I used her as my midwife for #7. She was a great support for me during my pregnancy since I was going through tough times. She had a great energy at the birth and is just a great human being. Im honored that my son came into the world through her hands. Great experience.

Dianne took such amazing and loving care of me with my last pregnancy with Scarlet Josephine. My boyfriend deployed right after we learned we were pregnant. It was unexpected and full of emotional ups and downs. I recommend her skillful hands and loving heart to anyone, no matter what their journey.

I love Dianne and Paige they supported me through my entire pregnancy, birth and post partum. Dianne is a kind hearted and caring woman and I highly recommend having your baby with Dianne as your midwife. I am so thankful for her and her services.

Dianne and her team are amazing. Ive been with Dianne since the beginning and have watched her transform from a student midwife to one standing on her own feet. She is caring and very knowledgeable, and I couldnt imagine using a different midwife.

Dianne is by far the most professional and personable midwife/O.B. i have ever interacted with. Not only did she make me incredibly comfortable during the breif moments before my son was born but she helped me slow down. She also stayed for quite sometime after my son was born and made sure I was comfortable and my son was heathly. I was also amazed at how clean my house was afterward (i think it was cleaner than when they came). To put it lightly i love her shes amazing.

Highly recommend sacred journey! Let me tell you why. In May, I miscarried baby #5. Dianne was available by phone through every grueling overnight hour, and came over an hour away to stay with me in the hospital THE ENTIRE TIME. She advocated on my behalf and showed nothing but love, kindness, and compassion through the entire process!! Diannes main goal is education, and she firmly believes in choices for women in childbirth, and shell support yours individually! Im proud to call her friend!!

I am so grateful for Dianne and her team. They really went above and beyond my needs, giving me emotional support through my 41 hour labor and birth of my first child. It was truly an amazing and liberating experience. I cannot speak highly enough of this wonderful team.Update: Dianne and Paige assisted me in birthing my second baby as well. My 10 pound posterior baby got stuck on the way out, and my birth team used their expertise to position me for opening up my pelvis and gave the baby room to move her head. With any other birth team, Im sure I would have had an emergency C-section. My 10 pound baby with a nuchal hand was born without even so much as a perineal tear. I have only happy beautiful memories of both births. Dianne is amazing. 😘 Having home births with her has changed my life.

Do you ever have a person who unexpectedly comes into your life at just the right moment?Dianne was this person for me. I struggled throughout my pregnancy with severe depression and anxiety. During my labor my body kept stalling every time I would break down and start sobbing and mourning my fathers death. She and Paige were there to love on me as a woman. They did not make me feel like a failure, instead they empowered me through my emotions.Dianne has no idea how much she means to me. I literally love her and Paige. Today was my six week appointment and I will miss her visits. Makes me want to have another baby just to see her.Thank you Dianne and Paige for letting me feel safe and secure, thank you for spending over 24 hours with me while I labored, thank you for helping me bring one of the best gifts God has ever given me earth side. I may not have my father here on this earth anymore, but Michael and I have our rainbow baby. Our hearts have healed and our family is in love with Tauriel.❤️ Amee

As one of her preceptors, Dianne is one of the best. She is a knowledgsble skilled intuitive patient, midwife with a skill set unmatched by most others. I would hire her for my midwife!

Working with Dianne and Paige during the pregnancy and birth of our 4th child was an incredible experience. This was our 4th homebirth and 4th set of midwives (we move often!), but they rank at the top! Both ladies were very relaxed and personable at each appointment. They were flexible with us requesting an altered prenatal schedule and very much allowed us to be in charge of our pregnancy while offering gentle guidance along the way.When the birth day arrived they were calm and relaxed. Every request I had made prior to going into labor was granted -- give me space, let me allow my body to give birth, keep interruptions and interventions to a minimum. They were perfect! It was comforting to know that if something had started to go amiss, they would have intervened, but since everything progressed normally they simply stayed off to the side. Dianne and Paige trust birth, and this was very evident during my labor.After the birth they calmly cleaned our birthing area, looked over the little bub and me, filled out the required paperwork, and then slipped out the door, leaving our family to bond and rest together. Again, picture perfect!We are on the far end of the spectrum where we desire minimal testing and intervention, etc. However, Dianne has this sweet ability to work with moms/families all along the spectrum provided it is in her scope of practice.We were very blessed to be able to work with both Dianne and Paige during this season. I simply wish I could take them with us for the next birth!! 💕💕💕💕💕
