Mariah - “My doula couldn't have been more helpful. Thanks to her I had a natural "vbac". Even my husband, who had been skeptical of doulas, was immensely thankful she was there to facilitate the experience. During my labor she kept me comfortable, hydrated, and relaxed. Having her there let my husband relax as well, as he was pretty clueless to the birth process, her calm approach and gentle suggestions helped a lot! The nine hours of labor I spent with her felt more like two hours! It was a wonderful experience!”

Kevin - “You made the birth safer, kinder, and just more "right" than it could have been any other way. We are grateful for your guidance and pure physical, mental, and psychological presence and dedication in all of this beauty and transition for Anya.”

Audrey - “I could never have made it through this experience without the help of my incredible doulas. They offered me so much support—physically, emotionally and spiritually—that I was able to persevere even through my darkest moments. They walked with me, rubbed my back and shoulders, did every exercise imaginable to get my labor moving, helped keep my breathing deep and slow and most importantly helped keep me relaxed.”

Tina - “You kept me focused and (my spouse) grounded during our most difficult moments. We think the world of you and the important work that you do for people.”

Mary - “…the event which could have been a scary and traumatic thing turned into an event for which we were prepared and could enjoy fully.”

Connie - “Although my labor and delivery were extremely stressful and difficult, my doula’s presence was comforting and helped me calm down. She has a soothing tone and was very helpful.”

Beki - “A doula was present at my birth and offered assistance to the midwife in particular. Her sensitivity and awareness of what was needed and what would be appropriate was wonderful. All births are so different and not all can be treated the same way. A doula is trained to understand and respond to the individual needs of the mother and other family members on all levels - practical, physical and emotional.
“I was especially grateful for the postpartum assistance of a doula. She came and brought food, checked on me and the baby. She brought yummy herbal preparations for digestion and to support milk production. One of the most wonderful offerings was a postpartum massage that was very soothing and nurturing. Birth and postpartum is a very demanding process and to have a professional support you in the process, with all the wisdom and understanding that a doula possesses, is truly a Godsend.
”I was very grateful to have her support.”

Kate - “The concept of child birth is daunting when you have no idea what to expect, but we both felt very well informed going into it and more confident still knowing that we had you on our team.”

Audrey - My husband…wanted to know why I seemed to need doulas present so badly even though he was right there with me. I guess it is because they were both women and also because I knew they have the experience of many other births behind them and if they said everything was okay, I believed them and relaxed and continued to do the job at hand. I simply felt safer and more confident when they were present and this allowed me to get through a long arduous labor without giving up and without feeling afraid.”

Kella - “Thanks again for the neat stuff you brought up. I have used most of it and really found it to be helpful. The tincture is invaluable for postpartum stress and the digestive mix has worked almost immediately for tummy upset for both myself and the new little one. Anyway, just wanted you to know how great it felt to be nurtured by you and how wonderful the stuff was you brought. You are a blessing!”

Luciana - “What a blessing to have you at our birth! We could not have asked for a more wonderful doula team…your information and insights were invaluable.”
