“It has been an absolute pleasure working with you! Our family would like to thank you for helping us realize our dream of having a home (water) birth. It was such a great and empowering experience. This was completely different then the hospital birth with my first baby; you guided me through it, but I felt like I was in control…I was not at the mercy of a dozen nurses checking off a chart! Thank you for all your dedication to your work, and we also would like to recognize your effort in being as environmentally friendly as possible!! You are a perfect fit for our family!”

“Our prenatal care with Debbie was top-notch. Visits were always relaxed, never rushed and she didn’t seem to mind the interruptions from my curious toddler. She was exceptionally responsive and thorough when I had problems or questions and always made time to help me when little things arose during my pregnancy. Most importantly, Debbie’s quiet, calm presence was a source of great support and strength during my birth. She knew just how and when to coach and comfort. With Debbie’s help, my son’s birth was just as wonderful as we’d hoped.”

“I knew what 2 things I wanted for our last pregnancy: to have a midwife that is a Christian and to have a “hands off as much as possible” birth. I got both of those things with Debbie. To the extent that when I was waiting anxiously for my contractions to start after my water started to leak, I asked Debbie to please pray for me. She told me she had already been! Our 9th baby, Peter was born at home, in water.”

“We knew from the start that we wanted our baby to be born in a relaxed, loving environment. With Debbie’s guidance and coaching, we were able to welcome our daughter to the world from the comforts of our own home. The personal attention that Debbie provided was invaluable. Working with a midwife was a great decision for us! Thank you Debbie!”

~ Hillary and Pete H.

“After hearing so many wonderful stories from friends about home birth I decided to give Debbie a call and make an appointment. My husband and I were quickly put at ease after meeting Debbie and her answering all of our questions and concerns. Debbie was such a blessing to me throughout my entire pregnancy. Unfortunately, I had several problems arise during my pregnancy and one of them that caused me to go on bedrest. Debbie always stayed calm and gave me wonderful advice any moment I needed it. At exactly 37 weeks pregnant my perfectly healthy baby boy entered the world. Although, I wasn’t prepared mentally or physically for his arrival Debbie was prepared. She brought everything needed for the delivery to my house and was a pro every step of the way. If you are considering having a home birth I highly recommend this wonderful woman of God. She is so positive and encouraging during the labor process!”

~ Love in Christ, Angela B.

“Having Debbie as my midwife for my fifth pregnancy was a great privilege. Previously, I had four deliveries at three different hospitals and my fifth was the best experience. Debbie took her time at each appt to get to know my family and me. I had a waterbirth at home with a great midwife. I highly recommend Debbie and I’m willing to answer any questions you have that might help you make your decision to have a homebirth with Debbie Boucher.”

~ Lissette G, Mother of Five

“We cannot say enough good things about Debbie. She helped us have a second wonderful homebirth.  I feel very blessed to have her in our area.”

~ Kris and Greg O.

“Thank you Debbie for providing a safe option for women to choose home birth.  I am so grateful to have had you at my last three deliveries.”

~ Aime G.

“I was so glad to find Debbie, because I really wanted a home birth and that doesn’t seem very common here in the Chicago area!  It was a wonderful experience that I will always treasure.  Debbie did a fantastic job!  I trusted her judgment, because I really felt she knew what she was doing from the first time we met.  I hope she’ll be able to deliver our second child someday as well!”

~ Jennifer F.

“There are a lot of things I really enjoy about working with Debbie.  She has never treated me as though I had a medical condition when I was pregnant.  I appreciate her perspective that pregnancy is a natural state for the female body.  She has been diligent in ensuring that I am healthy, but she also doesn’t expose me to tests and procedures that are unnecessary.  Having my baby at home was such a liberating experience.  I felt like my son’s birth was given back to me.  I was in my home, in my bed with exactly the people I wanted to have there.  Debbie’s assistants are wonderful.  The whole experience was exactly what I wanted for myself, my family, and my son.”
