"I’ll never forget you my husband putting pressure on my lower back to help ease the pain before every contraction! There are so many things stand out to me! Again, our meetings at my home throughout my pregnancy really helped us tremendously. In addition, I ended having a much longer labor than I anticipated. I know it was physically demanding on everyone, but the fact that you remained with us for almost 2 full days throughout all of the uncertainty was so reassuring. The way you also taught my husband how to help and support me during my labor was great. He also appreciated that he was able able to “take a break” from the birth and have some lunch and decompress. I know it sounds small but he was so appreciative of this. And till this day he raves how he could not imagine our labor without you."

"I’ve always known I would one day want a doula present at my labor because I knew how valuable it would be to have one present. My goal was to have a natural labor without any epidural. I knew it was going to be difficult, and I was unsure if I would be able to do it, but I knew with the support of a doula I would have a better chance of accomplishing that goaI . My husband on the other hand had a few concerns- mainly because he did not really understand what a doula was and what they do. By the end of the entire process you really helped him understand the value of a doula. ​

The information on your website was very clear. I liked that we would be able to have face to face meetings prior to my labor and a postpartum visit as well. I had hopes for a birth that was free of as many medical interventions as possible. Although things did not go as planned to due unexpected circumstances that arose throughout my labor, I feel like I accomplished the goal of going as long as I possibly could without an epidural. That goal would absolutely not have been possible without your help.

Your time was the most valuable to us. The time you spent to meet with us at our home before birth as well as our postpartum meeting, and the knowledge you shared with us is priceless. You helped us develop a realistic expectation of labor, life with a baby, and valuable advice on how to prepare for it all. Secondly, your ability to be so calm and collected during the entire labor process- even after being awake for over 24 hours straight, while pregnant was amazing. We are so grateful.
