Alicia is an incredible Doula! At my first few OB appointments I was unhappy with my experiences, and I felt a great mistrust with my OB doctors. As a first-time expectant mother, I knew I needed an advocate who would bridge the gap between a traditional hospital birth and having an empowering spiritual birthing experience. After first meeting Alicia I felt so empowered! I knew birth does not always go according to plan, but I knew she was going to do everything to help me achieve the birthing experience I wanted. I was so impressed by how much she educated both me and my husband. When I was in labor all this education really helped. As I was laboring at home I hit a wall, and Alicia came over at 3am and helped to keep me mentally strong and progressing through labor. Even though it was the middle of the night she showed up with energy and encouragement. At the hospital she advocated for me to be on wireless monitoring and to use a squat bar and stability ball. When it came time to push, she supported me in remaining side-lying when the OB wanted me to flip to my back. Alicia used her knowledge throughout my labor to suggest laboring positions and provide pain easing techniques to help me have the unmedicated birth I wanted. Without her help, I know having this birthing experience would not have been possible. She kept the spiritual part in our birth and prayed with us throughout our labor. Because of Alicia, the birth of our daughter brought me and my husband closer, and I love the way he beams with pride when he tells people about our daughter’s birth. This is truly Alicia’s calling in life, and having her as a doula was truly a blessing. Brittany S
