Angelee Sterling Birth Doula in Bentonville, AR

I would trust Angelee with any future birth I have. Although my birth took unexpected turn, she was steady and helpful the entire time. My husband and I were so thankful to have her involved in the birth of our first baby.

I had the absolute BEST experience with Angelee. I gave birth to my first born 5 months ago and Angelee was the greatest blessing to my husband and I through my whole pregnancy and the birth. She was so kind and personal through our whole experience. My pregnancy was not really expected (although we would change nothing) and finding Angelee was just an answered prayer. She helped us with every single question and concern we had. She gave us so much needed information, helpful questions to ask my OBGYN and just very intentional with my specific needs and desires for my birth. I chose to have birth naturally in the hospital and she was so so helpful to me and my husband through it all. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone giving birth. She was so encouraging, thoughtful, gentle and kind but also very strong and knowledgeable. Lord willing we get pregnant again I would for sure want to have her as my doula again. She was not only helpful to me but also my husband but also not overbearing which we are both SO thankful for! If you are looking for a doula in NWA, I could not recommend Angelee enough. I really believe she is a big reason for me having such a positive birth experience. Thank you Angelee for all of your hard work and care for me and my family. Truly the best!

Angelee was amazing and truly made such a difference before, during, and after my birth! Highly recommend hiring Angelee to be your doula, you won’t regret it!

I truly could not have asked for a better doula for my first pregnancy and birth experience. From the very beginning, she prepared me so thoroughly for labor, especially considering I had gestational diabetes. She explained things clearly, calmly, and in a way that made me feel confident rather than scared. One of the biggest gifts she gave me was teaching me hand expression before delivery — because of her, my baby never needed formula even once after birth. That alone means the world to me. Throughout my pregnancy and labor, she gave me information that sometimes even doctors forgot to mention. She empowered me to ask the right questions and helped me advocate for myself at every step. When labor intensified, she stayed by my side through the night — literally helping me manage pain at 2 AM without sleeping at all. Her presence was grounding and reassuring during the hardest moments. Before I was taken for the C-section, she encouraged the nurses to let me try different labor positions, even with an epidural, and she helped me push with everything I had. When the decision was made to go to the operating room, she didn’t leave — she stayed with me, supported me emotionally, and waited until I was wheeled back to my room after surgery. One thing that really shows her attentiveness and experience is that she was the first to notice blood in my urine bag from the catheter and reminded us about possible catheter-related complications. Because of her, I later looked into my operative notes and was able to better understand what happened during my surgery. That kind of awareness and advocacy is priceless. She supported me not just physically, but emotionally and mentally — like a calm, knowledgeable family member who truly cared. I honestly couldn’t have gotten through my first pregnancy and labor without her. If you’re considering a doula, I can say with full confidence: you couldn’t ask for anyone better than her.

Having Angelee as my doula was essential to my VBAC birth. I was really scared going into labor, but from the very beginning she made me feel safe, supported, and confident. She is very calm and her presence and guidance made such a difference. With her support and techniques, my labor felt much easier than I ever expected. I only felt real pain shortly before my water broke, and my pushing phase was very fast. During contractions, I felt a level of control over my body that I honestly didn’t think was possible. Angelee truly puts so much love into what she does, and it shows. This was the most magical and empowering experience of my life, and I’ll always be grateful for her. I couldn’t recommend her more 🤍

Angelee was fabulous for my labor and delivery. She was with us every step of the way and met with us numerous times beforehand to provide a wealth of information. I felt prepared and supported throughout the entire process. My husband also greatly appreciated her support and insight, especially in the hospital. I cannot recommend Angelee and her services enough! She is absolutely wonderful!!

— Casey Prince

As a first-time mom, I cannot recommend Angelee enough as a Birth Doula. She was an incredible source of support throughout my entire pregnancy and especially during labor. Her kindness, understanding, and professionalism made all the difference. I truly don’t think I would have had such a positive birth experience without her guidance. If you’re looking for an exceptional doula to be part of your birth journey, choose Angelee!

— Aditi Pandey

Here's my POV as a husband: 110% worth having Angelee as a doula. I was initially hesitant thinking how much value could a doula possibly add, but through out the journey she provided valuable insight and advice. On delivery day she was a champion and I didn't ever see her even yawn even though she got there in the early AM and stayed over a day through my wife's labor. She helped my wife manage her pain and breathing and pretty much everything! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Angelee to anyone looking for a doula!

— Maicol Santana

We loved working with Angelee! She worked with us before hand to help me feel comfortable and fully informed going into my labor. My husband and I both say there is no way we would have made it through the day with Angelee there. I am someone who likes to have a lot of information and she made it easy to understand and supported me in any decision I made and trusted my judgement. I would highly recommend working with Angelee

— Jenna Moore

Where do I begin? Moving forward with Angelee as my doula was one of the best decisions that I made during my pregnancy as a first time mom. She offered many services that other doulas do not. She was more helpful & Knowledgeable than some of the quick visits at the hospital/clinics. Angelee’s work ethic is something truly to be admired & be praised that even the hospital staff & my doctor complimented the way she worked. That they don’t see many doulas work that way she did. Even during Postpartum, she always checking in. I recommend her to anyone searching for their doula. Angelee is truly someone you would want in your birth journey. Thank you Angelee for everything & more. ❤️

— Evelyn Santana

Angelee was such a great part of my pregnancy and birth experience. She made me feel empowered to create a plan for my birth environment, coping skills for a physiologic home-birth, and plans for my baby post delivery. She readily and knowledgeably answered all of my questions, helped me tremendously during labor, and gave my husband and I tools to be successful in the early postpartum days. Such a great experience overall!

— Joselyn Goodell

Angelee was such an incredible help throughout my labor! This was our third birth and second home birth and, while we knew generally what to expect, we realized we’d probably benefit from having a doula who could suggest different positions to labor in and help me stay calm and relaxed. Angelee was exactly what we were looking for! She led us through a good review of our birth plan and showed us some release techniques to help baby get in a good position as well as some positions that we could use during labor. Our baby didn’t arrive until after 41 weeks and she made sure to check in to see how I was doing and if I needed anything while we waited. We even used the extra time to get together again and talk through our plans for postpartum/recovery which was really helpful. The labor itself was so much better with her there. Angelee has a very calming and reassuring presence and I really appreciated her reminders and suggestions throughout it all. She cared for us after baby arrived too, bringing us drinks and snacks and helping get us settled in for the night. She really went above and beyond in every way and we couldn’t have asked for more! I can see a big difference in my state of mind during my two home births and I know it was largely Angelee’s help that made this one so much easier. I can’t recommend her enough and I hope to hire her again down the road!

— Kate Wagner

Angelee was amazing and provided us with so much information as first time parents. She was very flexible with our schedules and answered every question we had. We felt very confident and at peace going into our labor, and she was definitely to thank for that!

— Helena Cichy

Angelee was absolutely incredible from start to finish. As first-time parents, my wife and I wanted someone knowledgeable by our side for the childbirth process. She made everything feel manageable and empowering. She went above and beyond with multiple prenatal visits—some via Zoom others in person at our house—which really helped us feel prepared and supported. Her flexibility and willingness to meet us where we were both physically and emotionally made a huge difference. She listened and understood what our views and goals were and helped us make informed decisions ahead of time. During the birth Angelee was essential in helping us keep our hospital birth as natural as possible she’d advocate for us without question. She was unrelenting in her support stepping in seamlessly whenever I had to step away (or take a nap) her calm presence and expertise were invaluable—especially when she reminded my wife to breathe for the baby during contractions—something that kept us both grounded in those intense moments. Angelee didn’t just offer physical support she helped my wife prepare mentally for her first childbirth which made all the difference in how we approached the experience. Even now with a pending optional postnatal visit at our house we feel reassured knowing Angelee is still there for us, her care and dedication have been unwavering and we couldn’t have asked for a better doula to guide us through this journey. My wife gave birth to a PERFECT baby boy and was at peace through the process in large part because of Angelee's great work. Thank you Angelee for everything!

Angelee was great in our labor process. She was informative, helpful, and was a calming influence in helping us deliver our first child. I would absolutely recommend her

— Blake Hansen

Angelee was outstanding! She was a critical part of our pre-planning and labor & delivery. Angelee does a great job of understanding her client’s goals and coming with all of the tools to support. She has a calming, warm, and encouraging spirit. I would strongly recommend her!

— Jessica Braddock

Angelee was an absolute blessing to our family throughout the entire journey of welcoming our daughter into the world. From the very beginning, she provided invaluable support with one-on-one calls to prepare us for labor and in-person visits to guide us through breathing and calming techniques. She even helped us craft a birth plan that reflected our values and priorities, empowering us to feel confident and prepared. When our little one decided to arrive early, Angelee didn’t miss a beat. Despite a nasty storm that night, she came to the hospital and stood by our side for the entire labor, offering unwavering support and advocating for our wishes every step of the way. Her calming presence and reassuring guidance made a world of difference, helping us navigate each contraction and every moment of uncertainty. Even after our daughter’s arrival, Angelee continued to check in, ensuring we felt supported as we adjusted to life as new parents. Her compassion, strength, and dedication are truly unmatched, and we couldn’t have imagined going through this experience without her. We’re endlessly grateful to have had Angelee by our side, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who truly cares and goes above and beyond for the families she supports. Thank you, Angelee, for being our rock through this beautiful, life-changing journey!

Angelee really knows her stuff. It was a pleasure to work with her. Highly recommend.

— Shelyrose Wright

I highly recommend Angelee as a doula for anyone looking for extra support and encouragement in their birth space. I contacted her to assist with the birth of our first child and she was instrumental in helping me feel that I had an empowering birth experience, even though our baby came a month early! She was quick to respond, knowledgeable about all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She was well prepared for our meetings to cover all our birth preferences and helped my husband and I feel ready for baby's arrival by taking the time to listen to our goals. I ended up going into spontaneous labor and Angelee was greatly appreciated in the birth space. I wanted a natural birth or as low intervention as possible and Angelee helped make that happen. When interventions became medically necessary, she was a wonderful resource to help us understand our options so that we felt confident in our decisions. Ultimately I am happy with the outcome of my birth and all that Angelee did for our family!
