We had the pleasure of having Amanda as our doula and can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She was the calm and gentle presence I needed during a very long labor. She was everything I needed, from guiding my husband to know how he could help me, position changes and mental support. We also did her birth class, which was wonderfully educational and made me excited to welcome my baby into the world!

Hey everyone, name is Tara Duncan and I am a Certified Postpartum and Infant Care Doula as well as Labor doula through Prodoula. After years of working with children ages 0 to 9 years-old, I finally found her passion caring for families doing doula work. I have been a certified doula since 2018 for postpartum, and 2020 for Labor. I care about the mental health and the functionality of families. I believe that knowledge is power; so I am never done learning so that I am able to provide the best up-to-date support and knowledge for families I serve. I have experience with multiples, tongue-ties, circumcisions, sleep training, prenatal and infant loss training, sibling support, and surrogate support. When I is not doing birth work, you can find me exploring the town, hiking, cooking, doing yoga or watching a movie.

Tara was our doula during pregnancy and childbirth and let me just say, I’ve gained a lifelong friend, first. She was absolutely amazing! Not only is she caring/nurturing, she knows her stuff. She always offered solutions and was one call away whenever I had questions/concerns. During pregnancy she met with us for prenatal visits & I loved most that she didn’t just care about me and my well-being, she got to know my husband as well! She catered to the FAMILY needs and not just mommy! During birth, man where do I even begin. She was amazing and I truly don’t know what me or my husband would’ve done without her there. It was our first time and she coached us BOTH through it and we all got milkshakes after haha but I didn’t sign up for postpartum services, but as blessings would have it, I ended up overpaying and was able to get about 5 hours of PP help and MY GOODNESS, Tara was sent by God and you’re not going to tell me otherwise! She washed bottles & pump parts, she COMPLETELY REORGANIZED my nursery to make it most efficient for us and that took a HUGE weight off of my shoulder. She washed clothes for us and everything. Mind you, all of this was while actively asking questions about our well-being and overall health. I wouldn’t trade her for the world and as we call her “Titi Tara” is the best and if I should be blessed to have more children, I would do the journey with Tara a million times again!!!

If you are on the fence about including Bridgette in your birth and postpartum journey, let this be your sign to absolutely do it. As a first time mom, she provided care and love for me and my family in ways I didn’t even know I needed. She is incredibly knowledgeable and takes a team based approach in every decision. I had no qualms or hesitations about placing my trust in her because at the end of the day I knew she had my back all the way from her birth/breastfeeding classes to every step throughout labor. Although my birth experience did not go the way we had planned, I wouldn’t be able to look back at my experience as positively as I do if not for her. She genuinely felt like a big sister and best friend throughout the whole experience. Even my husband, as he recounts our birth experience, sings her high praises and felt incredibly supported by her as well. Because of her, he even goes around telling new parents that they have to get a Doula because of how amazing Bridgette was. I genuinely feel like we were meant to cross paths and now my life and experience as a parent is better because of her. Seriously, she’s amazing. You would be remiss not to have her on your team.

Hiring Josie from Living Water Doula Care for my second C-section was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My first C-section was an emergency and left me with significant birth trauma and anxiety that I didn’t fully understand until my second pregnancy, but then I met Josie and she completely transformed my experience. Before my C-section, she helped me process my first birth and identify where my trauma was rooted. She also helped create a calm, peaceful home for me to return to after delivery. On the day of my C-section, Josie was my anchor, and recognized my anxiety even when I tried to hide it and made sure my concerns were heard. I was terrified of the spinal, but she advocated for me with the medical team and encouraged them to explain each step, helping me feel safe and informed. Her calming presence changed the entire atmosphere of the room. She also supported my partner, a first-time dad, helping him feel included and at ease. After surgery, I experienced intense pain, and Josie continued to show up for me, even coming to the hospital in the middle of the night. She helped me manage my pain through breathing techniques, physical comfort, and emotional support. When I felt overwhelmed after being moved to a smaller room, she once again advocated for me and helped me feel safe. Coming home was just as meaningful. Josie had prepared my space, making it feel warm, peaceful, and restorative. Her postpartum care helped me slow down, release guilt, and focus on healing. Josie doesn’t just support birth—she honors it. She didn’t just support me through my C-section; she helped me heal from past trauma. Before hiring her, I wasn’t sure a doula was necessary for a C-section. Now I can confidently say it was one of the most important decisions I’ve ever made. Because of Josie, I no longer fear growing my family, and I’m forever grateful for the role she played in my healing journey.

I can't thank Savannah enough for her incredible support throughout my pregnancy journey. From the moment I told her about my pregnancy , she provided invaluable guidance on creating a birth plan tailored to my preferences and needs. Her knowledge on postpartum healing and breastfeeding was a game-changer, offering practical tips and emotional support every step of the way.One of the most impactful aspects of her care was the open discussions we had about circumcision. She provided thorough information and empowered me to make an informed decision that felt right for our family. Her compassionate approach and wealth of expertise made all the difference during such a significant time in our lives. Savannah is a beacon of authenticity in a world often clouded by conformity. I highly recommend Savannah to any expecting parent seeking personalized, supportive care. Forever grateful for her guidance and wisdom.

We had a wonderful experience with Anna, who supported our family overnight for several weeks. From the very beginning, she made an effort to arrive early, learn our routine, understand our baby’s needs, and make sure she knew how we preferred things to be done. Our baby could sometimes be quite fussy at night, and she always handled those nights with patience and calm. She was attentive, dependable, and caring, and we felt completely comfortable having her care for him overnight. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands, and having her support allowed us to get some much-needed rest. We’re very grateful for all of her help during those early months and would absolutely recommend her to other families looking for a kind, reliable, and caring postpartum doula.

We had an amazing experience having Grace as our doula! She carries herself with confidence and joy as she helped us navigate preparation and birth. Grace always made herself available to me as a first time mom who had lots of questions. She was quick to respond and willing to help me learn! I think one of the many blessings from Grace, was that in our delivery room she created a really peaceful and beautiful environment by setting up a diffuser and candle lights in the room! Grace was a really valuable part of our first birth experience!

We trusted Bernadett with our first, and she's the reason we didn't think twice the second time. When we found out baby #2 was on the way, there was no search, no comparing, no interviews. We just called Bernadett. That says everything. A second baby is a whole different experience. You're not just recovering and caring for a newborn, you're also trying to keep life steady for the little one who's already here. Bernadett understood that without us having to explain it. She stepped in exactly where we needed her, so we could rest, heal, and still give our older child the attention they deserved during such a big change. What stood out most this time was how she supported our whole family, not just mom and baby. She brought calm into a house that could easily have felt chaotic, and somehow made everything feel manageable. Having her there again felt like having someone in our corner who already knew us and genuinely cared. If you're expecting your first, your second, or beyond, Bernadett is the one you want. We're so grateful she's been part of both of our babies' first chapters.

October 2026

Hiring her as both my birth and postpartum doula was one of the BEEESTT decisions I made for my family. From the very first meeting, she made me feel truly heard, respected, and supported. Throughout my pregnancy and labor, she honored every decision I made, kept me informed every step of the way, and brought a calm, steady presence that helped me feel safe and comfortable, even in the most intense moments. After our daughter arrived, she cared for her with so much love and tenderness. I trusted her completely from day one and never hesitated to ask her anything. She's warm, easy to talk to, and never once made me feel judged. She's incredibly knowledgeable, deeply kind, and the definition of professional. I'm endlessly grateful she was part of such a special, life-changing time for us. If you're looking for a birth doula, a postpartum doula, or support with anything in between, look no further. You'll be in the best hands.💛

Bernadett has a sweet and vibrant personality. She has been a delight to work with. As a new mom, I truly appreciated how her wisdom, passion and gentleness brings comfort and grounding to my new family. She supported my family and I through online consultations and product recommendations, both pre and post natal. It was so helpful to have her insight and experience in preparation and during the newborn trenches and beyond. I would highly recommend her, and give a 10/10 stars for her services. She provides invaluable feedback and is a wealth of knowledge.
