I chose Maiysha because she's blunt, knowledgeable, honest, very experienced and clearly loves what she does. I was impressed that she educates using evidence-based research for birth outcomes (oddly rare in a sea of old-wives tales and opinions) and that she's a real champion of the rights of birthing mothers. All of that aside, when she walked in when I was in labor, THEN I really understood what she does."
