Words cannot describe how incredible Kari is. The first time I met her I literally changed my birth plan on the spot deciding to hire her as my midwife and not just as a dula. We had an incredibly blessed experience and Kari made us all feel so taken care of and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is probably the best I have ever imagined. I wish she was still living near us because... More

We had an incredibly blessed experience and Kari made us all feel so taken care of and comfortable. I couldn’t recommend her enough. She is probably the best I have ever imagined. I wish she was still living near us because I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again and again. Less
There aren't enough words to thank Kari for taking such good care of us. We got to do most of our checkups at home, only having to go in for ultrasounds. (In these COVID days that was a huge blessing). She came to us and made the entire process so easy. She stayed with me throughout the night to deliver our little girl. Her calm energy and deep love of others shines through and you will know you ... More

My forth child, a difficult pregnancy, my first home birth; I appreciated Kari’s expert care all throughout my pregnancy. I love how she is kind and personal, yet professional. When it was time for our baby to be born, I felt completely at ease under her supervision. Never have I received the level of postpartum care that I did with Kari.

My forth child, a difficult pregnancy, my first home birth; I appreciated Kari’s expert care all throughout my pregnancy. I love how she is kind and personal, yet professional. When it was time for our baby to be born, I felt completely at ease under her supervision. Never have I received the level of postpartum care that I did with Kari. I would 100% recommend her to anyone in need of a home birth midwife. I am sad that she isn’t local to me anymore, but I hope the very best for her as she establishes her practice in the Portland area! Less

I worked with Kari for the birth of my first son in May 2020. Choosing to work with Kari was primarily my husband's idea. I was confident I could just birth the babe in a field haha but he wanted great medical care and was a bit iffy about a home birth. However, after speaking to Kari he was on board.

I worked with Kari for the birth of my first son in May 2020. Choosing to work with Kari was primarily my husband's idea. I was confident I could just birth the babe in a field haha but he wanted great medical care and was a bit iffy about a home birth. However, after speaking to Kari he was on board. We selected Kari because we trusted her experience and knowledge for the off chance there was a medical emergency. My husband didn't want someone who was going to try and heal me & the babe with "fairy dust & cinnamon" he wanted someone who would ask my consent to administer "western" meds and call 911 / EMS if something went sideways. We did have a small hemorrhage scare and Kari handled it calmly and swiftly. I can't guarantee other midwives in town would have been able to do the same thing. We were super happy with Kari and I'd recommend her to anyone looking to have a beautiful birth experience. As a first time mom, leveraging her for general parenting and child care advice was invaluable as well! Less
We are so grateful for Kari and the incredible care we received before, during, and after the home birth of our baby! This was our first birthing experience, and she was amazing throughout the entire process. Kari spent quality time with us every visit leading up to the big day, and made us feel so comfortable, informed, and secure. She covered every possible scenario, and made us aware of all of... More
We are so grateful for Kari and the incredible care we received before, during, and after the home birth of our baby! This was our first birthing experience, and she was amazing throughout the entire process. Kari spent quality time with us every visit leading up to the big day, and made us feel so comfortable, informed, and secure. She covered every possible scenario, and made us aware of all of our options (environmental, medical, etc.) during pregnancy, the delivery, as well as postpartum. Kari created such a safe and calming environment (even when things weren't going exactly as planned), and we are so thankful for her! Less
Kari Riley was the best midwife I could have asked for! She made me feel safe and confident that I would have a beautiful birth and a health baby. She is very knowledgeable and helped me find answers to any questions I had. Kari made my home birth experience amazing, even with the unexpected. I would definitely recommend using her!... More

Kari is AMAZING. She is kind, knowledgeable, personable and caring. You can tell she really has a passion for her work. I couldn’t think of a better soul to help with the entire birth process, including her classes, going through labor and her followup thereafter. She is a beautiful person who has found her calling! I am so grateful for her services and my experiences with her.... More
