Testimonials

I feel like G. gave us such a good start with finding a good rhythm and breast feeding, sharing all her advice and knowledge. Truthfully I wasn’t so sure I needed a doula when I first got pregnant but I’m SOOO beyond thankful I had G. by my side and I couldn’t be happier about how everything played out. Dream birth, 10/10!! Thank you for everything and I’ll see you for the next one.

G. has been amazing. Thank god we had her in our corner. My birth was fast, and some things were unexpected, but when I look back on it, I am really proud. I felt empowered, and listened to, and respected every step of the way. And that’s the biggest outcome we want as birthing people.

Hi Stephanie,

Thanks for checking in.
We really enjoyed working with G. She is compassionate, knowledgeable, and attentive. She listens, encourages and provides great support and resources. She continues to stay in touch with us and really care about my wellbeing.
We couldn’t be happier with her as our doula.
Thank you!

I hesitated to hire a doula because of the expense, but as someone with chronic pain who’s spent their life gaslit by the medical community, I decided my peace of mind and the wellbeing of both my baby and myself were worth the added cost. Since it was my first pregnancy, I researched several doulas, and I’m glad I hired G. and K. as part of my support team. They provided a level of care that went above and beyond my expectations. They were empathetic, direct, and supportive throughout my pregnancy and postpartum journey. During labor and delivery, G. empowered me to gently push back when I didn’t feel heard in the hospital. She also ensured medical errors and complications were promptly addressed during my days-long labor process, and got me the added attention I needed from my medical team to birth a beautiful and healthy baby boy. But her help didn’t stop there—she remained just as responsive, helpful, and kind during my first weeks postpartum. Don’t delay booking their services. You’ll be glad you did. —K.

Hi Stephanie,

Thank you for your email and congratulations! We are very happy settling into our new life as a family of three!

G. was a wonderful doula. I thoroughly enjoyed my interactions with her and could not have imagined my labor experience being what it was without her presence and guidance. She was incredibly thoughtful, compassionate, and knowledgeable, as well as proactive about finding answers if she didn’t have one at the ready. It really was a joy to work with her.

Thank you for your help in coordinating our meeting- it was an immense help. Feel free to reach out if you should need anything else!
