Review for Candice Thomas, Doula Working with Candice Thomas was nothing short of a blessing for our family. As a grandmother, I came into this journey wanting to be supportive without overstepping, present without overwhelming, and helpful in ways that truly served my daughter during one of the most transformative moments of her life. Candice coached me with grace, intention, and clarity—and because of her, I showed up exactly how my daughter needed me to. Candice has a rare gift. She doesn’t just prepare the mother—she prepares the village. Through her guidance, I learned how to be emotionally grounded, how to read the room, how to support rather than direct, and how to hold space with love and confidence. She reminded me that birth is not about control, but about trust, patience, and presence. What stood out most was Candice’s ability to empower without judgment. She honored my role as a grandmother while helping me understand the modern birth experience and my daughter’s unique needs. Her coaching helped strengthen our bond during this season and allowed my daughter to feel supported, protected, and deeply understood. To fellow parents and grandparents: The greatest insight Candice shared—both spoken and unspoken—is that support during birth is not about what you know, but about how well you listen. Candice teaches you how to be calm, informed, and intentional so that the birthing mother feels safe and confident. If you want to truly show up for your child or loved one during birth, Candice Thomas is the guide you want by your side. I am forever grateful for her wisdom, her patience, and her heart. Because of Candice, I didn’t just witness the birth of my grandchild—I became a better support system for my daughter. — A grateful GiGi

When looking for a doula, Candice checked all of the boxes! Candice was super supportive and amazing with making my birth plan and talking through my preferences. I didn’t want a fully intervention free birth and she was supportive of the decisions I made. Also she empowered me to know that whatever decisions I made were what should happen. Having twins was already nerve-wrecking but Candice was there every step of the way. Her knowledge and willingness to work with me virtually were extremely impactful in the early days of the pandemic. She was a great resource for latching my babies and making sure I knew how to navigate those early days of breastfeeding!

As a first time mom, I had so many hopes, questions, and uncertainties about childbirth. Thanks to Candice’s support I was able to have the birth that I wanted. From the very beginning, Candice brought so much expertise and warmth to my pregnancy journey. She answered every question with care, educated me on my options, and made sure that I felt empowered every step of the way. Her passion for birth work is undeniable, and it shines though in everything she does. Having her in the room during labor was one of the best decisions we made. Her calm confident presence created a space where my husband and mom could fully experience the uniqueness of the moment without having to worry about logistics and safety. Candice allowed them to be emotionally present while ensuring that both my daughter and I were safe, supported, and cared for throughout delivery. Candice is truly a gift to any birthing family. If you’re looking for someone who is not only deeply knowledgeable but also deeply invested in your well-being and your birth experience Candice is your girl! I am forever grateful for her support and 6 years later, her friendship!

Candice was heaven sent! I am a first time mom and planned an unmedicated birth. From the initial consult to the delivery and post partum Candice has held my hand and walked me and my husband through every step. She is one text away at all times; always answering the million questions of a first time nervous mom. Communication is open and nonjudgmental. Her goal is to aid you in the experience you desire and deserve. As a nurse I strongly believe in EBP and she was constantly sending me articles/studies supporting any and all topics discussed. She has a gentle, yet empowering touch that eases anxiety and provides support at every turn. My labor didn’t go as planned and ultimately ended up with a c-section after hours of labor , but Candice was right there at every pivot making sure my husband and I had the support needed to navigate the uncertainty of bringing a baby earth side. I could not imagine my birth experience without her! If you are looking for someone who feels like family and will be with you through every step—Candice is your doula!
