  • Review from the 2020 Birthing Experience Survey

    The care I received from Barri and Kristen goes beyond words. In choosing a homebirth, the model of care no longer felt transactional. Barri and Kristen are dedicated and diligent in ensuring that trust is the foundation of the relationship, so that their clients feel simultaneously safe and empowered in their pregnancy and labor experience. I never, not once, doubted their wisdom and expertise, even during COVID! Nor did I ever feel even remotely persuaded or coerced to make a decision that felt disingenous to me. Barri and Kristen work from a place of love, and honor the families with whom they work by respecting our self efficacy and agency. In choosing these midwives, we weren't only getting a care provider, but care partners. It was an incredible experience to work with them.

    Barri and Kristen are a dream come true! I never knew healthcare could be so good. They are both so knowledgeable and skilled and empathic.

    This magical team gave such great care, and thoughtfulness.

  • 2019 Birth Survey

    I loved my home birth midwives based in mid slope, Barri Malek and Kristin Leonard. I loved having a full hour to talk every visit, and their office was comfy. The last month or two is at your home and that was awesome.

    The absolute best midwife in NYC! Wise, supportive, incredibly calm & hands off when appropriate. I will definitely be working with Kristen at my next birth again! Based on a October 2017 birthing experience.

    Kristen and Barri are absolutely wonderful! They provide attentive, warm, competent care! I have had both of my babies with them and would highly recommend them! Based on a August 2017 birthing experience.

  • Re: OB/GYN or midwife who takes health first?

    I highly recommend the midwives Kristen Leonard and Barri Malek. They were my amazing Homebirth midwives whose practice is right here in Park Slope and I had HeathFirst at the time. Feel free to reach out with any questions.

    I truly, absolutely, could not have imagined a better midwife team that Kristen and Barri of BK Midwifery. They were the most caring, compassionate, and amazing team to work with. Not only did they provide immense emotional support and nurturing during my pregnancy and during my (long, intense) labor, but they made giving birth at home a possibility for me. Their medical know-how is incredible. In short, these two KNOW THEIR STUFF and the birthing world is a better and lucky place for having them in it. Cannot recommend them enough. Based on June 2016 birthing experience

    Both Barri and Kristen were wonderful throughout the pregnancy and during the birth. They were informative as well as understanding and attuned to our specific needs/wants around our baby's birth. Their knowledge and customized care provided us with the best tools/conditions to prepare for our home birth. Their quiet and yet solid presence enabled us to have a safe and overall incredible experience receiving our baby at the comfort of our home. Based on April 2016 birthing experience

    Review: Kristen was amazing. She was attentive from beginning to end and very patient with questions. She came to my home for appointments and I never felt rushed. She attended to the emotional as well as physical side of pregnancy and birth. Insurance: Yes. We had a long battle with my husband's company, but eventually got her covered in network at 100% of cost. It just took getting to the right person in the company and using the right arguments (we were actually saving them money). Based on a June birth

    Member Review: We had an amazing experience with Kristen. She is truly a gifted caregiver. Insurance details: Yes but all the ACA plans are trying to underpay the midwives. Contact Haya at clearbill if you need information abot your insurance paying for a homebirth. Review based on birth of 2014 baby

  • Based on a 2014 Birthing Experience

    Member Review: My experience with Kristen was so wonderful, and I only wish every pregnant woman and woman in labor had a practitioner like Kristen to care for her. Prenatal visits and labor and birth were in my home. I felt completely supported, loved, and safe in her hands. I can not say enough good things about her. Insurance details: Aetna agreed to pay her as an in-network provider, even though she is out-of-network (I think all the home birth midwives are). I didn't pay a penny for any part of my pregnancy, birth, or postpartum. Review based on birth of 2014 baby

  • Recommendation

    I want to recommend my incredible home birth midwife, Kristen Leonard. I don't think it is possible to recommend someone more highly. If you are looking for a home birth midwife or on the fence about homebirth. I recommend you talk with Kristen. She is calm, confident, loving, accessible, and seasoned. I knew I was in the best hands throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Amazing things to note: all appointments took place at my house- you can't beat the convenience, but this also set the stage for real conversations about how I was feeling, emotionally as well as physically. Kristen took the time to really get to know and support me. I felt wholly (holistically) supported and cared for. I wish all my providers knew and cared for me the way Kristen did. I feel like the way she practices is the way medicine is supposed to be. Kristen is immediately available by text. I had various concerns and questions throughout my labor and postpartum and loved the ability to text Kristen with any question. Kristen really joins your team. She felt part of my birth team, not someone who came in just for the birth, but an integral and special member of the team helping me have the best delivery possible. Which I did! Home birth with Kristen was so much better than the hospital birth I had with my first. I recommend Kristen without reservation.

    have a wonderful homebirth midwife who I would definitely recommend. Her name is Kristen Leonard and I strongly suggest you meet with her. Although I haven't given birth yet I have friends who have used her and had great experiences. I had my first daughter in a hospital and I knew that I did not want to go that route again. Kristen comes to my home for all our visits and takes most insurances. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield through the Freelancer's Union and I had no trouble getting approval from them. Recommended, July 2010
