“I cannot say enough good things about Gloria! I interviewed many midwifery practices, and from the first meeting, Gloria felt like a friend. I hadn't originally planned to birth at home, but Gloria's calm, professional, and knowledgeable presence gave me the confidence to plan for a homebirth. My decision was affirmed many times over when talking to others in the birthing community. Everyone who knows Gloria has nothing but glowing reviews! Throughout my pregnancy, she was supportive and really listened to my concerns. My husband and I looked forward to prenatal visits (and tea) with her. During birth, she allowed me to lead and guided my husband in supporting me. My baby's birth felt intimate, safe, and sacred - I owe much of those positive feelings to Gloria and her teams guidance. I plan to seek her support for any of my future pregnancies.”

— Lindsay, 2024

“I can’t say enough positive things about my experience with Gloria as our midwife. From the first consultation I had a great feeling about her. Gloria is kind, warm, loving, and genuine. From the beginning of pregnancy to 12 weeks pp, Gloria put my needs and wants first and empowered me in my journey to motherhood and into my journey of being a mom of 2. Gloria is passionate and knowledgeable. I felt so secure knowing I was held throughout the entirety of my two pregnancies, through my son and daughter’s births, and both postpartums. Our 2 homebirth experiences with Gloria were completely divine! Thank you Gloria! Love you forever.”

— Sarah, 2024

“From the moment we met Gloria, I knew we were going to get the best care possible. She is an empath in the purest sense, and very intuitive with each of her client’s needs. This was my 5th pregnancy and birth and I had a different provider/midwife for each one. Without a doubt she was the most supportive and knowledgeable provider, she exceeded our expectations and we had the best pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience to date! Birth work is her passion and it shows. She truly cares for her clients and their families. We gained a friend in the process and we can’t thank her enough for providing us with the best experience we could ask for.

The birth of our baby girl was beautiful and serene. Gloria and her wonderful assistants were a calming light through the entire experience. Our baby had some initial breathing struggles but Gloria calmly handled the situation and baby was great. Gloria and her team stayed several hours longer to make sure she was doing well and we were all feeling comfortable and healthy. I also struggled with some postpartum anxiety/depression and Gloria was such a wonderful support to me during that time. She is also the only provider that I know of that sees her clients through to 12 weeks postpartum! She’s phenomenal!”

— Allyssa, 2024

“Gloria is the most supportive and lovely person alive. She was with us through TTC, miscarriages, a full-term pregnancy and delivery, and an emotional postpartum period and was compassionate, informative, and calming the whole time. I’m so grateful for our time together and I cannot recommend her companionship enough. ♥️”

— Anna, 2024

“When I was pregnant with my first baby, choosing a home birth felt like a lonely decision at the time, since I didn’t know anyone personally who had chosen that route, but I was determined to go for it. Finding Gloria was the best thing ever. She instilled so much confidence and always exuded that herself. I struggled with my second pregnancy quite a bit but Gloria always made me feel heard and prioritized. Both of my births were so empowering and beautiful! I am sooo grateful for Gloria’s impact on me and my family’s life.”

— Shelby, 2024

“Gloria is an incredibly knowledgeable, competent, empathetic, and passionate midwife. She goes above and beyond at every stage of pregnancy, birth and postpartum care. I am a very detail oriented person, and she always took the time to answer my tedious questions with so much respect and patience. I felt so grateful to have her expert guidance and calming presence through my first birth! I also want to highlight her outstanding and compassionate postpartum care which was a true blessing as my baby and encountered some feeding challenges early on. I would recommend her care to anybody in a heartbeat!”

— Tanvi, 2023

“Gloria is the absolute best. I cannot say enough good things nor put into words how amazing her birth care is. With my second baby, I knew I needed to find a midwife that wasn’t only knowledgeable, but someone who was an energetic match as well. My life was in uproar when I found out about my second baby, and I truly truly needed care that could help anchor me in my birth vision and dream of birthing natural and at home. Gloria gave me all of that, AND more. Every appointment she asked not only about my body/health or baby, but about ME. Me as a human being and mother and friend. That made such a difference. I knew deep down that she cared about me, not just the baby or my birth, but also me. Of course she cared about the baby and birth and that is important, but it made a difference that she was more than just a “provider” like I had with my first baby.

Every appointment was seamless and enjoyable. And when it came time to birth, Gloria was so present and kind and nurturing. It felt like a really good friend showing up to care for me and be by my side as I birthed another baby into this world. Honestly, what more can you ask for? I birthed my baby at home just like I envisioned and was held those 9mos plus post partum by Gloria and her amazing team. I seriously joke about having a 3rd baby just to be able to experience her care again. THATS how amazing she is. Best decision I made for me and my baby.”

— Angel, 2023

“Gloria is an incredible midwife who truly puts her heart and soul into her work. To say she is “passionate” doesn’t even scratch the surface. She combines this passion with the brains and knowledge necessary to provide exceptional care. Although I was fully committed to having a home birth, my husband was initially hesitant. Gloria answered all his questions, eased his fears, and eventually had him looking forward to our home birth experience because of her thoroughness. She never glosses over any worries and won’t rest until you feel educated and safe.

Gloria supported me through both a miscarriage and the birth of my daughter. Our birthing experience was incredible, gentle, and special, and it wouldn’t have been that way without her guidance. I fully intend on employing Gloria as my midwife again for my next baby. She truly is one-of-a-kind. Meet her and see for yourself why she is loved by all who know her.”

— Whitney, 2023

“Gloria is an incredibly skilled and knowledgeable midwife. But beyond that, she has the kindness, compassion, and love that I so desperately needed. Gloria goes above and beyond the standard level of care. In a time when maternal and perinatal health is suffering, Gloria is setting an example of which other birth workers should take note. I enthusiastically recommend having Gloria as your midwife to any one.”

— Taylor, 2023

“Gloria is the most incredible midwife and person! From my very first appointment with her, I experienced nothing but encouragement, love, knowledge and heartfelt compassion from Gloria. She is empathetic and will show up in ANY way that you need her to! Even after I didn't progress like I wanted to and had to be transferred to hospital, she was right there beside me the entire time, giving me educated input and thoughtful advice during the situation.

When my son was born and we were in the hospital for a couple of days, she visited and again, continued to show up in the most caring way! She listens and truly makes you feel heard and seen no matter what you feel or have to deal with. I cannot imagine going through my pregnancy and birth without anyone else by my side. Her care truly changed my life and was everything I could have hoped and prayed for in a care provider. She is an angel on earth and I would encourage anyone who is thinking of hiring a midwife to choose Gloria a million times over!”

— Bethany, 2023

“It's hard to find the words to describe what it's like to be under Gloria's expert and loving care. After leaving the OB that I had been going to in a traditional hospital setting and transferring into Gloria's care, I felt immediate and immense relief and peace knowing I'd be heard, respected, and safe. That feeling never wavered throughout the rest of my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. Gloria is a true practitioner of informed consent, and always presented me with all my options with benefits and risks so I could make the best choices for myself and my baby. She trusted me to know what's best for my body every step of the way, and that gave me the confidence I needed when the day of my birth came. Gloria let me lead the way during my labor and birth, only stepping in when asked or needed. The respect she has for the birthing person and their process is remarkable and a true gift. The vision I had for my birth was very sacred and ceremonial, and she intuitively protected and maintained that setting for my the whole day. She even participated in our baby's cord burning ceremony, which is one of my most treasured memories of the day. In short, Gloria is everything you could ever ask for in a midwife and more. But beyond that, she is one of those special people that enter your life and make such a profound impact that you know you'll cherish them forever. I love you Gloria!

*I also want to note that Gloria is very LGBT+ affirming and my partner and I always felt comfortable and respected under her care. If you're also queer and/or trans and looking for a midwife, I highly recommend Gloria!”

— Maya, 2022

“Gloria is both an expert in the art and science of Midwifery. She is connected with what feels like a beautiful, ancient wisdom that guides the entire breadth of her care. One of my favorite things about Gloria and her approach to Midwifery is her undeniable intentionality. She meets her clients exactly where they’re at with all the ebs and flows that pregnancy, labor, and postpartum brings. She is tender, informed, and such a light.”

— Kimmy, 2022

“Gloria is phenomenal!! After a traumatic birth with a different midwifery practice I hired Gloria for my postpartum care. She showed up ready to hold the space, provide the most genuine compassionate care & gave me the room to start my healing. She is wise, she is tender & she gives the best foot rub! She treated me as if I were always her client, which made the world of a difference. Thank you Gloria!”

— Haylee, 2022

“Gloria is an incredible midwife and an even better human. I’ve had two amazing home births under her care. She’s so knowledgeable and skilled in her craft, while at the same time being incredibly intuitive and warm, knowing when to step in and when to stand back and hold space for things to unfold. Gloria leads with her heart and shows genuine love for her clients. I’ll never forget her holding me as I cried through some of the hard parts of my birth. I truly can’t say enough good about her! If you’re looking for a provider who knows their stuff and also genuinely cares for and respects you, Gloria is 100% your gal. If I have another baby, I’ll hire her a third time!”

— Alison, 2022

“Gloria is everything I could have hoped for in a midwife. There aren’t really words to describe the beautiful bond that forms between women coming together to watch over one another, hold space, and sometimes just hold each other… It’s like the culmination of best friendship and sisterhood. Gloria honestly felt like a guardian angel over me, my baby, his birth, and our entire pre and postnatal experience. Her level of care was something I’d never had the privilege of experiencing before. Sappy convos, belly laughs, tears… I felt so completely seen. So completely accepted. And so completely believed. I knew that she trusted me, my body, and my ability to bring my baby earth side. I couldn’t have asked for a better human to watch over me and my precious baby as I labored and worked to birth him. She gave me endless and tireless support in my desire to have a VBA2C. When we transferred to the hospital, she stayed right by my side. I was comforted by her presence and her reassurance that I could do it. Her instincts, support, and love throughout my 36 hours of labor were irreplaceable. And I truly believe that she was a large part of what helped me recognize my own power and ability to have my VBA2C. She will forever have a special place in my heart, and I secretly hope I get to have at least one more baby just so I can hang out with her for another year!”

— Sonja, 2022

“Gloria is such a great midwife, I was able to see right away that she loves what she does and that me and my baby would get great care from her. She was always very informative, asked before doing anything and I never felt uncomfortable with her as my midwife. During my pregnancy my visits with her were always super informative and great vibes then in my labor she let me labor the way I was wanting without interference unless necessary and was always caring even after my birth. I’d 100% go back to her for every baby I have and I’d recommend her to anyone asking. Also a bonus that as a teen parent me and my partner didn’t feel judged by her at all <3”

— Jena, 2022

“Gloria is such a beautiful person. I transferred care from a hospital setting to Bearth when i was a few months along in my first pregnancy. It wholeheartedly was the best decision I’ve ever made. Appointments are accompanied by tea & fulfilling informative conversation. Gloria takes her time & is very intentional about making your experience beautiful. She continues to be available long after birth. We’re very grateful to know her <3”

— Alexsis, 2022

“Review by a “cool dad” here.

Gloria 100 percent gained all my trust and confidence in life. I’ve never met someone whom right out of the gate I blindly followed with all assurance that it was going to be ok.

If you are looking for someone who not only is extremely knowledgeable about holistic and ancestral wisdom, but also is someone you can count on as a friend, guide, and overall beacon of light. Then look no further! Gloria was able to navigate our whole pregnancy and birth (which had its obstacles) with grounding confidence.

All I have to say is THANK YOU Gloria, for everything.”

— Colby, 2022

“I was able to work together with Gloria as a doula and I was so impressed by her groundedness and confident presence. She is knowledgeable and handled an urgent situation quickly but calmly. I loved working with her, would love to do so again in the future and if I were to have any more babies she would be high on list to interview. Just meet her and you will see what I mean and you won't regret it!”

— Katie (birth doula), 2022

“Gloria was extremely knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process. She was a great support to my wife and to me. She used her knowledge to be helpful and provide options for us, whereas some other doctors have used their knowledge to push us in directions we didn't want to go. Her support allowed this birth to be a healing experience for us after having two traumatic experiences in the past with OBGYNs. She is confident in her knowledge and is vocal about things that she might not be too familiar with. Great experience overall! Thanks for making our birth experience what we wanted!”

—Josh, 2022

"There aren't enough words to express how much I love Gloria as a midwife and as a person. She's got the heart of a healer and the soul of an advocate that is truly concerned with the health and care of her clients and birthing people in general. I'm so impressed with her expertise and experience as a midwife, as well as her ability to offer such a wide range of care.
During each of my appointments with Gloria I felt so seen and cared for, both physically and emotionally. She took the time to get to know me as a person while also addressing all of my concerns and needs without judgment. Her knowledge and words of wisdom made me feel so confident and calm, even as my birth took unexpected turns. Perhaps most invaluable to me, she made it clear that she trusted my intuition as a woman and as a mother.
Gloria also went above and beyond in making herself available during what turned out to be a difficult postpartum period, checking in and offering a listening ear. Both my partner and I agree that she would be our midwife for all of our future births. We would wholeheartedly recommend Gloria to anyone looking for midwifery care. She's the absolute best!"

— Annalee, 2021

“Gloria is an incredible midwife! She has delivered two of my babies! I absolutely adore her! She’s so patient with my curious older children when she comes over for home visits (they always want to “help”). She is so caring and supportive (she’s listened to any and all of my issues and concerns—birth and non-birth related). Over the years she has not only been our extraordinary midwife, but she’s also become quite a wonderful friend (and my kids love playing with her son, too!)! When we have our next baby we will definitely be hiring Gloria again!”

— Sondra, 2021

“Navigating midwifery care and a home birth can be overwhelming. I interviewed many midwifes, but when I met Gloria, I knew she was the right fit for me.

Gloria is a wonderful person and midwife. She is knowledgeable, kind, and the mastery of what she does shines through. Her warm and supportive presence throughout my pregnancy was invaluable. She completely handled my home delivery with skill and I always felt that we were in good hands. She helped me navigate my first pregnancy, assisted in choosing a doula, and eased my concerns in choosing a home birth. Gloria's postpartum care was excellent as well. Her visits were a critical touchstone for our family. We loved our experience with Gloria!”

— Darrah, 2021

“I can’t recommend Gloria of Bearth Midwifery, enough. She held me with tender, educated care through my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She is warm, and gentle, while being a fearless advocate. She is so knowledgeable, about so many different topics, and I felt so confident and at ease being in her care. I would recommend Gloria to any birthing person in the salt lake area.”

— Sydnee, 2021

“Gloria is a great midwife. She was very thorough when it came to making sure my baby and I were healthy when we ran into some concerns. She was knowledgeable and went to learn more when she didn't know something. As a person, Gloria is easy to talk to, kind, a good listener, and a good communicator. She went above the call of a midwife to help me try to straighten some things out with a midwife I left. I am so glad that I left my old one and found Gloria. I am also thankful that she was willing to take me on later in my pregnancy.”

— Kristin, 2021

“Gloria is amazing! I’ll say that to anyone and everyone. She came highly recommended by a close friend. I wont lie, when my wife, Anna, first brought up the idea of a home / natural birth I was super skeptical. I didn't understand why someone would want to do it outside of a hospital. We scheduled an initial interview / meeting with Gloria and walking in I didn't expect much. I do not tend to take things at face value and always question everything. I bombarded Gloria with questions. Trying to find things wrong with the idea of using a midwife. By the end of our discussion I was so sold on the practicality of a home birth and using a midwife that I had made up my mind that even for some reason we had to go to a hospital, for what ever reason, I wanted Gloria there, as a friend and coach for my wife Anna. Its hard to explain other than Gloria is amazing at what she does! As a new father, I couldn't be happier with how well Gloria handled everything for us.”

— Gregg, 2021

“Gloria is such a joy. She brought positivity, knowledge, and a sense of calm to a birth that pushed me to my limits. Even when we encountered a couple of hiccups, so to say, she kept her cool and provided solutions.

I am SO glad I chose Gloria as my midwife for my first home birth. She was instrumental in making sure I remember a trying several hours in a positive light.

If you're looking for a midwife who knows her stuff, doesn't let anything throw her, cares deeply about you and your baby, and lets you birth how you like, Gloria's the one.”

— Genevieve, 2021

“Gloria was peaceful and gracious throughout. I never felt rushed in any appointment or the birth. She loves what she does and it out pours in her work! I even late transferred because we moved states and felt like we knew each other well even though she didn’t walk 9mo with me. Postpartum she loved on me well and even through some hard bouts of mastitis (almost made it to hospital) checking on me even after she left my home. She listened, she encouraged and even pushed me a little when I need a little nudge to get out of my head. Highly recommend!”

— Kelsey, 2021

“Gloria is such an incredible midwife. I’ve had 5 home births with four different midwives in four different states, and my experiences with Gloria were my most peaceful and life-giving births. She helped me overcome challenges with breastfeeding and postpartum hemorrhaging, and even held space for me as our family navigated a crazy move, while pregnant, during the pandemic. I am grateful beyond words for her experience and knowledge, but even more so for her genuineness and openness in providing true woman-centered care.”

— Lauren, 2020

“I switched from a planned hospital birth to a planned homebirth with Gloria at Bearth Midwifery as my midwife at 30 weeks of pregnancy. COVID-19 was at its peak when I decided to look into a homebirth, and I interviewed quite a few midwives. I wasn’t fully comfortable with any of them until I met Gloria. She was calm, knowledgeable, and had the perfect balance of holistic and science-based approach in her midwifery practice. I loved that she did all her visits in my home! This allowed my children to be an active part of the homebirth experience from the beginning of our time with Gloria. I went into labor 3 weeks early, and never had a moment of fear. It was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. My children wanted to be involved with the homebirth, and I was impressed with the way that Gloria coached them beforehand and then stepped aside and allowed my oldest to deliver our baby, and my second oldest to cut the cord once it was done pulsing. She was amazingly calm, reassuring, and helpful (provided back pressure and affirmative statements) while I was in labor. Afterward she involved the younger children in weighing and measuring my baby, and then left us alone to bond as a family, while being close enough to help if needed. My baby received all the care that they would have received had I delivered in the hospital, and in a manner that was much more gentle, peaceful, and thorough, I felt. My postpartum care definitely felt more inclusive and in-depth. I really cannot sing Gloria’s praises and approach enough. This was my sixth baby, and I wish that I had experienced a homebirth with Gloria with some of my previous children! I’m recommending Gloria to everyone I know!”

— Savannah, 2020

“I was already 40 weeks pregnant when I met Gloria. I had arranged to birth at a hospital, but looked for an alternative once COVID-19 policies no longer ensured we would have our entire birth support team as planned. Gloria came highly recommended, and she committed to work with us the same night I called. We immediately felt relief in her calm, compassionate, and experienced care. In retrospect, I wish we had worked with Gloria throughout the pregnancy, even though I had great experiences too with my OB/GYN.

Gloria taught me to listen to and interpret my own body to progress into labor and through birth—- and it was ultimately conquering that learning curve myself to listen to my body that carried us through a long day/night of labor and pushing to achieve a birth that I feel so immensely proud of. Gloria and her assistant, Sarah, never wavered for patience, energy, and steadiness throughout the long birth. Now, we are likewise grateful for her flexible and frequent postpartum care as we quarantine at home. Choose to be cared for by someone who is all expert and also full soul. Gloria is your gal.”

— Rachel, 2020

“Gloria is one of the best people I’ve ever met. She is always available to provide comfort and reassurance, which I needed a lot of. During labor, she gave me the courage and confidence to trust and listen to my body, and she was more than a shoulder to cry on when it got intense. I felt more safe and cared for during my pregnancy and labor than I probably ever have. This experience is something I will never forget, and I’m just thankful. SO thankful. ❤ ”

— Mikayl, 2020

“The second I met Gloria I knew she was the midwife for us. She was so down to earth and approachable.
I loved how she listened to my concerns and made me feel heard and validated.
That pregnancy would end in a miscarriage but she was so loving and compassionate, helped me with some supplements that might help with subsequent pregnancies.
She was one of the first people I told when I found out I was pregnant again.
Throughout my entire pregnancy she was always there to answer my questions, calm my nerves, and validate my fears while also soothing them.
My birth was long and dramatic, and it ended differently than I hoped for. Gloria didn’t leave our side the entire time and when I was faced with the worst fears a new mother can face she held space for me and kept me grounded.
I absolutely recommend Gloria. She’s a beautiful person inside and out and she will light up your pregnancy and birth experience. She’s my midwife for life.”

— Melissa, 2020

“I met Gloria only a few weeks before leaving for our travels. She was my first midwife interview & when she left I told Nic to cancel the rest. The connection was immediate & I knew she would be our midwife for this baby.
As we traveled Gloria made herself available to me via text & phone call, we had monthly appointments & kept in touch as best as possible while we were on the road.
When returning home I was a little nervous that we wouldn’t have enough time to truly bond before Wilder’s birth, but I was completely wrong. Once again, the bond was immediate.
As my pregnancy progressed it got significantly more difficult both mentally & physically. Gloria would come to our home & immediate peace and comfort would wash over us.
As we neared the end of pregnancy I timidly brought up natural induction expecting to have to shot down, but instead she completely supported the idea, trusting me to listen to my body. On the morning before drinking my labor drink I texted her for moral support, I was a mess and still completely undecided on what to do. She allowed me to speak my fears & sent me a sweet poem that’s words would eventually carry me through my birth. It felt as if she knew the importance of every word she spoke to me & everything she said was exactly what I needed in that moment.
Originally I had asked her to take the role of lifeguard & allow me to do most if not all of the birth on my own. But as my birth progressed I felt the need for her presence. We continually found ourselves on the same wave length with how to move forward in my birth. She again spoke words to me that I will never forget. And when I found myself in the darkest and scariest parts of my birth her hands, words, & breath held me up. Each wave would come & she would guide me through the breath, I needed her & she played that role perfectly. Then, once it was time, she replaced my hand with hers & empowered me to catch my baby and bring him to my chest.
She brought laughter to the room when the room needed laughter, she shared my vegan corn dogs while telling me how powerful I had been, she kept the calm in my emergency, & then she lifted me up in my postpartum. ♥️I am so grateful for Glo.”

— Kalli, 2020

“I am not sure what a “normal” pregnancy or birth looks like. However, I am sure having a midwife like Gloria Moore made mine more special than I ever imagined. This was my first pregnancy which I delivered at home in a birth tub. It was a rough start with all my pregnancy symptoms. My pregnancy was filled with tears, anxiety, vomit, and stress, but in Gloria’s care I learned to embrace motherhood in its finest with joy, peace, and patience. Gloria was gentle and thorough throughout the entire process. She always made me feel at peace and I could be as myself although I did not feel like myself at all while I was pregnant. Our visits were always sweet and sometimes fun, filled with laughter with my husband taking notes and cracking jokes. Gloria was respectful in offering counsel when needed, and definitely professional at all times. As I reflect upon those nine months of growing a tiny human inside my body, it was special I walked away with two friends: my beautiful baby girl and Gloria. Gloria is great at what she does. Gloria has earned our family’s trust. Five stars does not even describe how great my experience was!”

— Hong, 2019

“I found Gloria almost immediately after the birth of my first child in a hospital setting that left me feeling like there had to be another way. I followed her for a year and a half or so before we got pregnant again. We knew we had to at least look into a home birth. After our first meeting with her - she spent an hour with us in our home listening to our story and answering our questions - my husband and I were confident that she was exactly who we wanted to go with.

What makes Gloria an exceptional midwife is not only her incredible skills and knowledge surrounding birth, but the entire prenatal/birth/postnatal process. She is thoughtful, wholistic, pays attention to details, and genuinely cares for you, your baby, and your family.

To speak to her skill set, she delivered our baby in the middle of a power outage with confidence and care. Total pro!

She truly redeemed so much of the birthing process for my family. I can not recommend her enough!”

— Brittany, 2019

“My note to Bearth: Thank you so much for giving me the best birth experience, from start to finish, that I could ever imagine. With Ada being our last baby, I am overjoyed that it was YOU alongside us through it all. Heat stroke, an ER visit, crazy mental health status with three other littles running around, you were seriously the best care-taker I’ve ever known. Thank you for entering into my mental torment as you were enduring your own. Thank you for EVERYTHING, Gloria. You exceeded every expectation that I had. ❤️”

— Christina, 2019

“I’ve had the privilege of working as a doula alongside Gloria for multiple births now. She is incredibly gentle, encouraging, and knowledgeable! She embodies this perfect balance of feeling like an old friend that you’ve known forever while also maintaining appropriate professionalism. With great wisdom, she knows just when to step in and reassure and when to sit back and hold space. Her calm spirit and overall trust of the birthing process will be beyond valuable to your pregnancy and birth experience! I highly recommend her as a midwife and am always excited at the opportunity to work with her!”

— Stephanie (birth doula), 2019

“From a husbands perspective- Gloria Moore is a stud, who showed calm confidence throughout our 14 hour labor. She understood body language, timing, personal space and how to walk the delicate balance of each. She knew non-verbal communication was as clear as verbal communication and exuded strength in even transition and position changes, waves of contractions, slow times. She encouraged rest and work when appropriate. Her prenatal care, birth team, and postpartum care were exceptional. She took exceptional care of my wife and baby.”

— Bryan, 2019

“Gloria was my midwife throughout my pregnancy and birth of my first child. I chose Gloria because she was very open minded and really allowed us to have our birth the way we envisioned it. I really enjoyed not ever having to leave my home for prenatal visits because she always came to my home. She provided me with books on breastfeeding which were very helpful. I also found an amazing child birth class on her website that helped me prepare for the big day!

During our birth, everything was nice and smooth. I was blessed to be able to have an easy pregnancy as well as a quick and easy birth. With this being my first child and not knowing what to expect, I felt very secure to have a supportive team around me.

I made a great friend in Gloria and I would definitely recommend her to anyone searching for a caring & knowledgeable midwife!”

— Danielle, 2018

“Gloria is absolutely the most amazing, kind, intuitive, well educated, thoughtful and down to earth person you’ll ever meet! If I could go back and have my 1st 3 kiddos at home under the care of Gloria I would in a heart beat ❤ Being our 4th kiddo I wanted a more natural experience something I didn’t experience or even think to want to experience with the others. I hadn’t been educated or around women who had natural homebirths so having a baby in the hospital was the norm. But with life comes new ideas or actually old ways lol and wanting something more empowering and invigorating. This is when we started searching for the perfect midwife and I ran across Gloria’s web page and instantly fell in love with her or should I say her hair lol!! In her pics she had the most awesome dreads ever but I also loved her and her approach, I knew out the gate she was the one! We set up an appt to meet and the rest is history, we got what we wanted; a beautiful experience in the comfort of our home! The added bonus is we had the most wonderful midwife ever to ensure it was going to be a beautiful experience ❤ Gloria made sure I/we were well taken care of from appts to prenatal vitamins to the birthing kit to clean up to postpartum care she was on top of it all the way. She was more like an old friend being by my side so much love, care and dedication. When we get pregnant again we’ll be calling Gloria and you should too!”

— Renae, 2018

“Gloria is a phenomenal midwife & human being. She’s down to earth, warm & so knowledgeable. I attended a birth with Gloria at the end of last year as the birth photographer and it was quite remarkable watching her support this family through their homebirth experience.”

— Lindsey (birth photographer), 2018

“Gloria & Bearth is the reason that I was able to have the final birth experience of my dreams. This time last year I was pregnant with my third daughter with an established birthing plan that involved birthing at Davis Hospital, a midwife who was more clinical than expected and a lot of fears. I continually felt uncertain about this birthing plan.

At the end of my second trimester I switched to being under the care of Gloria, having worked with her before [as a doula] which was another wildly positive experience. Under the care of Gloria I had midwife appointments that adequately addressed my questions and concerns. We were able to thoughtfully work through everything that I needed. I am forever grateful that Gloria was able to take me on and under her caring wing. In early March last year Gloria and her team helped me bring our daughter into the world, from our home.

I am so in favor of parents having a birthing plan that resonates with them. I cannot highly recommend Gloria and Bearth enough.”

“Gloria was my midwife for my 5th home birth. I had a lot of anxiety and she was able to help me work through my emotions and also help me with herbs and tinctures. That was a huge benefit to me and helped me to have a peaceful, magical birth.”

“Gloria is a loving, intelligent Midwife and her community is lucky to have such an invaluable resource!”

— Gabi (midwife), 2018

“Gloria helped me deliver my 1st born at home. As a first time mom I was a little nervous to deliver naturally as well as at home. But she answered every question and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. My labor lasted 28 hours which was not expected but the entire time Gloria made sure I was constantly okay as well as my baby. Throughout it all she remained calm and reminded me quite often how strong I am and that I could do this even when I thought I couldn’t. Her encouragement, and kindness really makes all the difference and is what helped me get through those long hours. Her assistant Christine was just as awesome and they made a great team. If you decide to go with Gloria as your midwife you will be in great hands.”

“Gloria is an amazing midwife. She immediately felt like a friend. She is knowledgeable and always thorough to explain things from all perspectives. She gives sweet personalized care and is excellent at what she does.”

“Gloria and Bearth helped me achieve my healthiest pregnancy yet and the birth that my husband and I prepared and hoped for! We had a great hospital birth for babe #1 but chose Gloria and a home birth for babe #2 for a number of reasons. First, she’s intelligent, approachable and genuinely supports you and partner in the birth that you desire, without judgement or steering. During every prenatal appointment in our home I felt 100% comfortable asking about anything I was concerned or curious about — whether it be a supplement, an ache/pain, or changes in life-stressors. Nothing was “off the table” to discuss with Gloria. She also made herself available by phone or text outside of appointments which made me feel safe and confident that I was supported and cared for. Second, all the major milestone tests, evaluations and protocols for pre and post birth were completed but with the utmost ease and comfort — most in your own home with the results communicated directly by Gloria. I remember how special it was to meet her with my husband and daughter and be together for our 20 week ultrasound! Finally, our birth began with strong active labor and Gloria met us at home quickly where there wasn’t even enough time to fill the tub before our second daughter arrived. Gloria and her midwife partner prepared everything in our birth space, and through it all Gloria was with me - applying back pressure where I needed it, alongside my husband, and telling me “you’re doing so good!” She never left me - I was the most important person in the room to her and she supported me in every way. She knew what I needed and though I was too far in “labor land” to communicate it! During the postpartum period her support continued with frequent visits and communication.

Choosing Gloria and Bearth was truly holistic - it was more than we could have imagined. Reflecting on our birth now, months out, Gloria was just what I needed for my soul and just what our family needed to bring our sweet girl earth-side!”

“I am so blessed to have Bearth and Gloria guide me through a deep and healing birth. My third baby, midwifed by Gloria, was born in my living room, on my couch, next to my bedroom. The lighting was my choice, I played gentle pandora channel from Iron and Wine, and my birth tub was full of warm water.

I birthed right as the sun rose over the rocky mountains. Everything Gloria brought to the birth made me feel the magic and connection a mother can experience when this ancient knowledge of birth is in the room with you (GLORIA). I think gloria, gloria, I have Gloria at my birth!

Besides the birth, she visited me in my messy toddler ridden home for my “doctor” check ups. She came to my home after birth so I could rest. She treated my womanly infections prior and post birth. Overall, I would be lucky to have her at any birth from here on out.

She listens, responds, and takes time to care for you AND your family (father included). You will LOVE the strength you have in your birth with Bearth as part of it.”

“In my wildest dreams I couldn’t have imagined having the professional support, wisdom and guidance that Gloria provided. Her calmness was steady and ever-present; whether I had a gazillion questions during my prenatal visits or going through transition, she kept me focused and assured. My family trusted her through and through and I will never regret our decision to have her as part of our care. We knew she had mine and my son’s best interest at heart so when birth day came it felt like we had family by our side. I love Gloria and highly recommend her as a midwife!”

— Angela, 2017

“Gloria is amazing! She helped me deliver our 4th baby, but 1st ever home birth. Little did we know, this baby was born a 10 pounder! She was so great with my other kids with every home visit and they just love her. She has a calming vibe to her that really helps you be so comfortable. She is so knowledgeable, trusting, reliable, flexible and professional. We were so sad to have her leave us after our final appointment.”

— Tabitha, 2017

“Gloria is a deeply caring, professional, knowledgeable midwife. Her experience is obvious but her compassion is what truly sets her apart. She so makes you feel like you’re not alone at a time when so many changes are occurring and isolation is possible. She’s a truly gifted guide during one of the most important times in a woman’s life.”

— Glenna, 2017

“Gloria has an incredible gift in working with mothers and babies. She is calm, compassionate, knowledgeable, and so full of love. I felt an instant connection to her, and am so grateful she was my midwife. The birth of my last baby was an incredible experience. There were lots of laughing, crying, bad words, and eventually, a beautiful baby. I HIGHLY recommend her. Gloria is seriously the best!! You won’t regret hiring her!”

— Stephanie, 2017

“When I found out that I was pregnant I went searching for a doula. Came across Gloria with Bearth. We met and there was this instant connection. She was easy to talk to and we believed in a lot of the same things when it came to pregnancy and birth. I had asked her several questions about pregnancy and birth and her being a midwife. She is very knowledgeable. At that point I knew that I wanted her to be my midwife instead of my doula.

This was my first baby. I had never thought about having a baby at home. Gloria gave me the information about all options of where to give birth. If it wasn’t for her believing in me, I would have had my baby at the hospital. But with all the information she gave, we had decided that the best option for us would be to give birth at home.

Gloria was always available and helpful when I had any questions. She was very respectful if there was something that I didn’t want to do. When it came time to have the baby she guided me through this wonderful birthing experience. She was kind, patient, and helped guide me through every step.

I’m forever grateful to have had Gloria as my midwife. I couldnt have asked for a better experience!”

— Katarina, 2016

“Gloria is an observant, intuitive midwife. All of my prenatal appointments were at home, providing me with a relaxed atmosphere and plenty of time to discuss any questions or concerns. Knowing I have a history of quick labors, Gloria immediately came in the middle of the night in time to help me labor through the last few minutes and deliver in my own bathtub. Her advice and care prevented postpartum bleeding which had been a problem in previous deliveries.

My baby was born with an undiagnosed cleft lip and palate (missed at the ultrasound which isn’t uncommon) and was unable to eat so we transferred to the hospital. Gloria came with us and provided the neonatologist with my prenatal care and delivery information. Thanks to her amazing work, only the baby was admitted to the hospital and released after problems with the cleft were addressed. The neonatologist was complimentary of the care Gloria provided both me and the baby. During the next few weeks, Gloria was invaluable in helping me through the postpartum time including my baby’s surgery.

I have seven children and my experience with Gloria was my favorite.”
