“Melanie was born to be a doula. She’s incredibly intelligent, patient, strong, and a fantastic listener. With just a few short questions, she was able to grasp the type of birth experience we wanted, never impeding with judgement or alternate beliefs. She knew when to be strong; she knew when to be gentle; she knew when to step back, and; she knew when to step forward – all without instruction, allowing me to labor. I cannot promise future clients that she can provide you with the exact labor experience you want (no one can!), but I can promise, without hesitation, that you will be SO grateful Melanie Russell was in the room while you were laboring your child into the world.”

“Haley was an absolute joy to work with and played a crucial role in my redemptive, beautiful, and successful VBAC. I truly believe the outcome of my birth experience would have been different without her calming presence and expert guidance. During labor, she skillfully guided me through various positions and helped my husband with counter-pressure techniques. Haley also provided invaluable support and knowledge throughout my pregnancy and postpartum journey. Above all, she empowered me to have the informed and supported birth I desired. My husband and I are incredibly grateful to have had Haley by our side during the birth of our son. We wholeheartedly recommend her as a birth doula!”

“Caiti was an invaluable part of my birth experience as a first time mom. From our meetings to the delivery room, her expertise and guidance were a source of comfort for my partner and I throughout this journey. Her presence was calming and empowering, which was the perfect combination to have throughout labor. Caiti's dedication and compassion is apparent. She even showed up to the hospital at 3am on Christmas morning for us! As first time parents, there are so many things to be overwhelmed by but having her on our team made everything easier to navigate. Our experience with Caiti was wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Kayla was, without a doubt, the most incredible support person I could've asked for during the birth of my daughter. With this being our first baby, my husband and I were on the fence about hiring a doula and for a while didn't think it was worth it. Now we can say without absolute certainty that hiring Kayla was the BEST decision we could've possibly made. From the moment we met her, she was nothing but kind, positive, affirming, and communicative. My goal was to have an unmedicated physiological birth and there is no way I would've achieved it if it wasn't for Kayla supporting me through every contraction, helping me change positions, and encouraging me to find the strength I didn't know I had. During postpartum, she has been an invaluable mentor and friend. I have recommended her and will continue to recommend her to every single pregnant friend.”

“Elise is phenomenal doula, and I now recommend a birth doula to everyone because of my experience with Elise. She is compassionate, calm, knowledgeable, intuitive, and the right combination of gentle & strong. I had a traumatic experience with my first birth, and Elise helped me develop a new approach to birth for my second. She shared valuable resources throughout my pregnancy and gave me the confidence to prepare for an unmedicated birth. Elise believed in me so that I could believe in the possibility of a better birth experience. I went 10 days past my due date and Elise's confidence gave me the courage to actually trust my body during those long 10 days. During my labor, she was a steady calming force. She was by my side at all the right moments and I could not have done it without her. I actually begged her to not leave my side during transition and pushing. I needed to know she was by my side - and she was. She never left. As an added bonus, Elise photographed the birth so that I could have those memories forever. I credit Elise for my success in having an unmedicated birth. She helped me advocate for myself, she believed in me, and her presence gave me the strength to continue on. Thank you, Elise!”

“I don’t even know where to begin. Paiten is a gem. She has such a gentle spirit and kind heart. This was my first pregnancy and I didn’t know what to expect. Terrified, fearing the unknown, Paiten put all my worries to rest before, during, and after my delivery. I have nothing to compare labor and delivery to, BUT I can say it was a great experience with Paiten by our side. When I felt that I wasn’t being heard or had concerns I couldn’t voice, Paiten stepped in. When I needed guidance during contractions, Paiten stepped in. When needing help with labor progression, you guessed it, Paiten stepped in and guided us every step of the way! As you see, I could go on and on AND ON! My family is still raving about Paiten 8 weeks postpartum! 10/10 recommend Paiten and her services to any mommies out there!”

“Cece was an invaluable support during my pregnancy and birth. Her guidance and expertise were instrumental in preparing me for the journey ahead. She was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and provide comfort. When my birth plan took an unexpected turn, Cece's calm and reassuring presence was a lifesaver. She helped me navigate the situation with grace and strength. I am so grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any expecting mother!”

“This birth was harder than my first it seemed and I wanted to give up about halfway through. Alina held me up when I felt I couldn't do it. She knew how to push me to keep going in a gentle yet strong way. She was so caring and sensitive to my needs and helped me to try to execute the birth I wanted. I would definitely hire her again.”

“I cannot say enough great things about Sarah Hendricks. She is kind and nurturing, and an amazing advocate. Having a doula is so much more than just having her there to support your birth - it’s the points of contact she made after each appointment to discuss how things went and any concerns; it’s the prenatal appointment where she went over not only the physical ways to support birth but also brought up deeper questions about strengths, weaknesses, fears going into birth and going into parenthood; it’s how she brought up questions you wouldn’t think to ask yourself that prepares you for one of the most difficult but most rewarding times of your life. Sarah was so supportive and informative throughout the whole process, and into the postpartum period too! It was so nice to have her there to check in on us as we navigated the breastfeeding and sleeping habits of a newborn, and to provide resources as necessary. I am so happy we chose to have Sarah as our doula, she is just wonderful and her experience is truly priceless!! I would highly recommend her and hope to work with her again in the future!”

“Meredith was my doula for my second pregnancy. After not getting the experience that i wanted with my first child, which was a scheduled c section, I decided to set myself up for success with my second and get a doula. When meeting with Meredith I knew that she was the one who was going to help me through my journey. And I can truthfully say I would not have gotten the experience I wanted without her. She kept things real with me throughout the entire pregnancy, prevented me from ending up in the ER for false labor a handful of times and was my absolute rock during my delivery. Even my husband, who was unsure of why I wanted a doula in the first place, said how amazing it was to have Meredith with us. She morphed into the person I needed during my labor to push myself further than I believed I could’ve. Our baby boy was born happy and healthy and we have Meredith to partly thank for that! We are forever grateful. Labor and delivery is the world's hardest thing and Meredith is the best coach a woman could ask for.”

"As a second-time mom determined for a completely different birth experience, I could not have landed in better hands than Hunter's. Throughout the process Hunter was a listening ear and a trusted confidante and somehow intuitively knew when I needed real advice or when I just needed a little reassurance. Each bump we met in the road she took in stride and was the best advocate and cheerleader, helping me to fight for what I wanted and deserved, and gave me the confidence to speak up for myself and my baby."

“I am a medical provider myself, and I was very impressed with Sarah’s immense knowledge about the process of birth, interventions, and how she became my advocate in the hospital. She had a wonderful rapport with the doctors and nurses also, which made everything flow so much more nicely. Throughout the pregnancy, she was available for any questions or concerns. As soon as I went into labor, Sarah was at my house in the appropriate timeframe and comforted me immensely. When things got intense or the plan changed, she was able to calm and reassure me the right decisions were being made for my baby and I. She took the time to ask me how I was feeling so I felt heard, and made sure to voice those concerns to my medical team. We went on to have a happy, healthy birth of my little boy!”
