Dale was my instructor through the MaternityWise Doula Program back in 2018. The moment I spoke with her, I knew I’d chosen the right path. She kept in constant contact and made sure I was fully prepared for class. Her teaching went beyond the binder—she shared the real ins and outs of the doula business, the birth experience, and answered every question. She opened up about her own life so we could see how being a doula fits into everyday life. One experience changed my life: Dale walked me through attending my first birth and gave me the confidence to take charge. She was also present for the birth of my last baby in 2019. When she arrived, she immediately made me feel calm and empowered. The doctors and nurses respected her so much—they even waited for her to arrive before breaking my water and asked for her approval. It was such a powerful moment. It was an honor that she cut my baby’s cord. Dale is the best and will always have my family’s love and respect

I would like to personally express my gratitude and thankfulness for my doula, Dale Kaplan. From the moment I met her, she provided peace of mind and comfort throughout my pregnancy. Due to unforeseen health circumstances, my mom wasn’t able to be in the delivery room during my c-section. I am so grateful Dale was there by my side for every step. She walked me through the process both mentally and emotionally. I couldn't have picked a more trusted and experienced advocate for me and my baby’s health. I recommend Dale to any expecting mom

I really love how super easy, accessible, and available you were with me during my pregnancy. Most importantly, I appreciated how much information I got from you both during and after pregnancy. You filled an emotional gap where fear often came in—with tons of helpful information and reassurance. You held my hands through it all and supported me emotionally while staying professional and keeping an open mind. You were so helpful—I loveeee my moms!

When I decided to have a doula for my third pregnancy, I wanted it to be different. I didn’t want to go through the same issues and complications I had before. When I shared that with Dale, she assured me this time would be different—and it was. She even suggested Dr. Pleeter and the hospital I should transfer to for a better experience. Dale was so real and understanding. She arrived earlier than expected at Sinai Hospital, sat with me during registration, and stayed by my side through everything—even during my c-section prep. I’m forever grateful for having Dale during my pregnancy. My body healed extremely well. She listened to my concerns and was there for my sister’s pregnancy, too. I recommend Dale 10x to any woman who wants to be heard in the delivery room, treated fairly, and have a positive birth experience. She is that girl
