In the depths of my own postpartum dark night and fear literally spreading through the world on a global level, Bethany was the one simple, easy choice I made with zero regrets.
Hmmmm. Do I want a loving, steady, calm, peaceful human being in my home? Do I want someone who will come with a song in her heart and thoughtful activities like children’s Yoga and books about Mrs. Badger’s mountain foraging adventures? Do I want that same thoughtfulness to radiate out to me in how she cares for my home while she’s there…the sink full of dishes done, the million little baby clothes all tidily folded and put away, the real human conversations that allow me today to call Bethany- not only an integral part of my support community-but also a friend? Yes! Yes. Yes. Yes. She’s worth every penny of the investment, and, even more than that…Mama, YOU are worth every penny of the investment.
I think we are all waking up to the fact that how mothers and babies are treated matters. Not just to that one family she touches…but to the world as a whole. Bethany has devoted her life to centering the care of women and babies and, if you ask me, there is truly no higher or more impactful calling. 🩷

Bethany supported our family as a postpartum doula from the very first night we came home from the hospital. Her expertise, calm nature, and non-judgmental approach was just what our family needed during such a wonderful but difficult transition. We have said multiple times that we could not have gotten through those first few nights and weeks without Bethany. She allowed us to both get much needed sleep, a necessity during the early newborn phase but was also so knowledgeable about all the things you learn as a first time parent, setting up a breast pump, how to manage milk supply, breastfeeding advice, reading your baby’s cues, and what is “normal” and what warrants a call to the pediatrician. She not only cared for our baby with tenderness and warmth but also cared for me as I recovered from birth and managed the roller coaster of postpartum emotions. Bethany shared her experiences and well researched advice, but always made me feel confident to trust my instincts and make all decisions. We would highly recommended Bethany, she was and is a valued part of our birth story, one that was made easier with her depth of experience and extra set of highly intuitive hands.

Bethany was a lifesaver! Cannot say enough great things about her. She was our postpartum doula for our second child and really helped us get the sleep we needed. We felt set up for success in the beginning days because of her and every night we were so excited to see her. She is a calming presence, quiet throughout the house, made sure I was taken care of, especially while breastfeeding, and a big help with tidying up / laundry. I recommend Bethany to anyone!

Bethany was a truly incredible postpartum doula. She came to us highly recommended and was incredibly supportive and kind. My husband and I were sleep deprived, and without any other help, Bethany provided support that was invaluable. We were especially grateful that she was willing to work with us despite having a fairly full schedule. We could not be more grateful for the care she provided to our son and me. I think back to that time with tears of gratitude and appreciation. I highly recommend Bethany’s postpartum doula services, she is the personification of safety, care, and kindness.

Bethany provided an amazing support when our little one was born! She was not only dedicated to the baby, but also making me comfortable, rested, and fully taken care of :)

Bethany was a life saver! As a new mom, I had no idea what I was doing. It was lovely to have someone else with me in the trenches, sharing the time with me. I learned so much from her on what my baby needed, that I just didn't think of. Not only was she there for my baby, but for me as well. I was thankful for our time together, and I know my daughter and dog cherished it as well.

Working with Bethany was a dream. She joined us just a few days after our son was born and instantly brought calming presence into our home. As first time parents she provided us with amazing tips and encouragement while caring for our baby. My husband and I were able to sleep peacefully knowing she would take such good care of our son overnight.

Bethany quickly became an extension of our family after hiring her postpartum Doula services when our son was 5 weeks old. We instantly connected as I saw how genuinely nurturing, self assured and calming she is. He is our first born, and at a time in life when everything feels flipped upside down, Bethany provided stability in our home and took amazing care of our little boy AND me, the mama! Such incredible cosmic energy. Thank you, Moon Goddess Mama! <3

Bethany was such a wonderful blessing to our family ❤️ she was with us the first night we brought our daughter home and we instantly felt so safe and happy with her. She stayed up all night to and held our brand new baby to make sure she felt secure and welcomed into the world.
I was afraid of what it would be like with a postpartum doula, I worried I would feel nervous about someone else caring for my newborn but I was shocked that I slept perfectly that first night and every night Bethany was there to help us. I can’t imagine doing it without her.
— Jessica Bosworth
We love Bethany more than words can describe! She helped us in the early weeks with both of our boys and we wouldn’t have been able to get through those tough nights without her! She’s fun to be around, easy to connect with, a welcoming calming presence in your home, and most importantly the babies love her. She builds a connection quickly with her families and provides a level of comfort that is so appreciated and so needed. We loved our time with her!

If you are thinking about a postpartum doula and on the fence about it, hire Bethany! You will not regret it. A year ago I was a first time mom who had zero infant experience and was too busy with work to take any newborn classes. My girlfriend recommended Bethany and after some contemplation I hired her to help me during the first several weeks of my daughter’s life. My intent was to learn from her how to care for my daughter and move on. But this became the best decision not just for my daughter but for me. Bethany showed up every day with abundance of energy and positivity which automatically provided the necessary relief to whatever was going through my head during a sleepless night. She still taught me how to care for my infant - how to change her, how to bathe her, how to hold her, how to rock her (the infinity rock!), how to understand her cues, and so much more, but she also cared for me. She provided the emotional support and care I so needed during the first month of postpartum. Even the simple things like making me breakfast in the morning or bringing me a water when I nursed made such a huge difference. And there were also the big things - she helped me trust my instincts and embrace my new role as a mother. I tell everyone the reason I survived the fourth trimester is because I had Bethany to help me. And even now when I feel like I am drowning due to sleep deprivation, Bethany is always ready to help. I honestly can’t recommend her enough. Just hire her for a day and she will become an integral part of your parenthood journey.

If I could give Bethany 10 stars I would. I admire Her work ethic, her patience, her kindness, and the way she puts any worried mommas mind at ease from the moment she steps into your home to the moment your little one cries when it’s time to for her to leave. As a first time mom, trying to find someone that could take care of your little one and love them the way you do seems impossible- until I met Bethany. She makes you feel like you’ve known her for a lifetime and your little one is always safe when she’s around. I could not thank her enough for the time and energy she has put into taking care of my son. She is one of a kind, any family would be lucky to have her!!!!!

Working with Bethany was an all around amazing experience. I just had my second baby and was feeling exhausted, depleted and overwhelmed. She came into my life like a breath of fresh air, ready to support and serve with open arms and a beautiful heart. I felt nurtured and loved. The care she provided was so much more than I could have ever asked for. She was amazing with my newborn son and my toddler daughter. She helped keep the house and kitchen clean, she cooked amazing meals and the laundry was always folded. And as if that wasn’t enough, I felt like I had endless emotional support, like a dear sweet sister who showed up to love and laugh and cry alongside this journey with me. Anyone hiring Bethany would be lucky to have her. The support and attention and care that she provides is so valuable when we go through the life changing shift of becoming a mama. I cannot recommend her enough!!!
