This is honestly a difficult review to write… not because there is any shortage of reasons to praise Cherish, but because no amount of it can truly do justice to explaining just how meaningful her presence was in my journey from pregnancy through childbirth. As a headstrong person intent on going about a “natural” birth within the healthcare system, I knew I wanted to have a doula to help campaign for me, to provide me support and tools through one of the most vulnerable and raw processes a woman can go through. I interviewed many doulas, and while many seemed qualified on paper, I just knew something was missing. Then as fate would have it, I came across Cherish. We had an initial call to discuss the variety of services she offered. Already then, speaking with her felt natural, like meeting someone who you knew could be a friend. It was easy to sense that she genuinely cared, and exuded passion (and compassion). We had meetings and check-ins throughout my pregnancy, to discuss logistics such as my birth plan, generalities like how I was feeling and how certain tests went, as well as address more spiritual matters like my feelings around becoming a mom or subconscious fears that were surfacing for me. Every time I was filled with awe and gratitude for the perfect alignment of her complete holistic support that I knew I had been seeking all along. To make matters more complicated, I went over my due date and with each passing day, my doctor (and the healthcare system) started to tout medical fear mongering to push me into an induction that I knew I did not want/need to do. After every check-up, Cherish and I would connect to logically discuss from a place of knowledge and trust. It was not simply “We are not inducing”, but rather “We are trusting all positive signs of the monitoring and taking an educated stance on it not being medically necessary at this time.” To make a long story short, at 41 weeks and 6 days I finally gave birth to the most perfect, healthy and beautiful baby girl. There was no epidural, no cascade of interventions, no “emergency c section”. If it were not for Cherish’s support, I have no doubt my story could have gone very differently. Instead, when I think about my labor, even with all the variables I could not control for (and that is childbirth at the end of the day), I feel like I had as perfect of an experience as I could have wished for. Not because it was without its share of complexity, but because I truly felt I was in the best hands. Cherish’s presence carried me through every minute of labor’s pain and challenges. I wanted my labor to be intimate with just my partner and myself, and having Cherish did not distract from that in any way. (She had also met my partner in advance of my labor to provide him with tools to help support me in the process.) I ultimately felt more comfortable with her presence in my delivery room than I would have been with my own family. She truly has a place in my heart for life, and there is no question that if I were to go through this process again, I would hope (and be so lucky!) for Cherish to again be by my side.

Words Could NEVER DESCRIBE how Lovely Cherish Is She’s Literally Heaven Sent

It’s hard to put into words my experience with Cherish because it was so wonderful and everything I needed at that time. She helped me feel grounded and confident going into motherhood and the bone binding ceremony was an incredible spiritual experience for me. She has been there for me and my husband every step of the way and we “cherish” our Cherish! You’ll love working with her because she is a woman of many talents and can provide you with exactly what you need.

Had a great experience with Cherish as our doula! She was very supportive throughout the whole process, answered any questions we had and made the birthing experience very comfortable 😊 so glad we had her as our doula and would definitely recommend her and use her again!

My husband and I absolutely love Cherish! She served as our birthing doula and truly so much more. From the very beginning, her care, encouragement, calming presence, and steady hand made us feel like we had found our baby’s village…our family. We still laugh and smile when we think back on our birthing experience because Cherish made the room feel so peaceful and sacred. The lights were dimmed with candles glowing, soft music played in the background, and every detail reflected exactly how my husband and I wanted to feel during one of the most important moments of our lives. What touched us deeply was how much she included my husband in the experience too. She cared about both of us emotionally, mentally, and physically throughout the entire process. As first-time parents choosing a natural birth experience something no one in either of our families had ever done… we carried a lot of excitement while others carried fear. Instead of us leaning into their opinions we leaned into Cherish and our union. Cherish made us feel empowered. She made us believe we could do it. Her support gave us confidence when fear tried to take over. During labor, she guided me with such gentleness and strength. From massages and breathing techniques to helping my mother and husband understand how to support me during contractions, she brought such wisdom and comfort into the room. She helped turn what could have been an overwhelming experience into one that felt intimate, powerful, and beautiful. And honestly, her support didn’t stop at labor. She was there for every text message, every phone call, every question, every fear. Never once did she make me feel like I was bothering her. She loved on us genuinely and made our journey feel personal, like she truly wanted the absolute best for our family. There truly are no words strong enough to describe how grateful we are for Cherish and the experience she gave us. What she provided went far beyond doula services. She gave us peace, confidence, love, and unforgettable memories. We even extended her beautiful services to a park date where she loved on on our baby while walking her and even creating a safe space where we sat in the sun picnic style at the park. Cherish is comfort. Cherish is warmth. Cherish is love. And she will forever be a part of our family. ❤️ TeamCherishForever Love always, The Spriggins 🙏🏾🫂❤️

I have had the honor to work with Tatiane multiple times in the birth space. She is kind, compassionate, calm, passionate, peaceful and FULL of knowledge. She serves her clients with an open heart and is absolutely WONDERFUL.

My husband and I are so thankful we found Joli for the birth of our first child. She guided us throughout the end of my pregnancy/postpartum and helped me prepare mentally for an unmedicated birth. She was incredible throughout my labor and I don't know what we would have done without her. She provided so much emotional and physical support and even my family, who was slightly hesitant of a doula because they've never experienced that before, loved her and now understands the importance of having a doula. I will hire her again in a heartbeat if we ever have another child!

Kathleen was my Doula through two births and one loss. If I had to describe her in three words, I would choose empathetic, thoughtful and supportive. I liked her from the beginning. She was recommended to me by my doctor and has always been prompt and professional. Kathleen gives me her opinion, lets me decide what might work for me and then helps it happen in real life. She is a passionate, expert-level doula and anticipated my needs (some I didn't even know I had!) without me even saying anything. When I met her during my first, I was pretty clueless about pregnancy and labor despite my background as a nurse. She connected me with vital resources, including a pelvic floor PT, masseuse, chiropractor and education. I felt like my whole self was being taken care of. When I gave birth, she was right there with me, and made sure my husband felt involved too. She made sure my voice was heard and that my birth plan was followed as closely as possible. My labor was not what I had expected at all, and while not traumatic, it was difficult. I believe because of her guidance I was able to avoid c-section. One of the most valuable things was our debrief of the experience about three weeks after. She gave me time and space with her to process all that had happened. I was fortunate to be able to work with her again. After previously experiencing a loss, I was having difficulty connecting with the next pregnancy, especially after finding out this baby would required induction and a planned NICU stay. She connected me with resources to help me cope. We worked together on a birth plan and how to advocate for me to get some time with the baby before he had to be transferred. She stayed with me after my husband went with the baby and made sure I ate and was settled into my postpartum room. Then she took me to the NICU. I would have been otherwise completely alone. Her presence was a huge comfort to me and my husband

Cherish was truly a blessing during my pregnancy. She was my advocate, my emotional support, and brought such a peaceful presence to the whole experience. She always spoke light and positivity into me and made me feel understood every step of the way. I'm so grateful for her care and would highly recommend her to any expecting mom — she truly made a difference in my journey.
