Eva led my husband and me through a series of birth classes as we prepared for our first child. The service she provided and relationship she built with us as new parents is priceless! Her classes were informative and set realistic expectations. Even when we had questions outside of class time she would get back to us and talk through it with care and concern. Eva went above and beyond to ensure that we were armed with the information we would need to navigate the tenuous medical system. We are so thankful for Eva!

I’m a second time mom and hired Eva as my doula after having a really tough first labor. She was 100% worth it and provided better support to help me reach my goals of a physiological/non-medicated birth than I could have ever imagined. From the start, she gave me a sample birth plan with options and evidence based articles I could read to help me make my own informed decisions about each step of the labor and delivery process. She never judged my decisions but rather always made sure I had solid information to utilize in making each decision. Ultimately, my midwife team told me I had one of the best birth plans they’d ever seen and as a result I had the birth I had been envisioning. I’m delighted this time around! Leading up to the birth and through labor and delivery, Eva was available, super responsive, comforting and professional. She also coached me through nursing to ensure I was successful which was very important to me. I loved her Christian perspective and appreciated her quiet, humble yet confident nature. Ultimately, I am so grateful to have found Eva. I would 100% recommend her and absolutely plan to hire her again if we have another child. She’s wonderful and I hope she is in our life for many years to come!

My husband & I are first time parents and did not know what to expect when it came to giving birth until we started classes with Eva. She helped us prepare for not only for the birth day of our baby girl but also continued to give us support afterward. Eva is highly knowledgeable, committed and reliable. She communicated with my husband even in late hours instructing him in how to best support me during contractions and throughout the whole process- she was right there with us. We're very grateful to her and would 100% recommend her.

Eva was incredible and I would recommend her to anyone looking for an informed, intuitive & supported birth process. Eva was honest, calm, kind and extremely knowledgeable. She worked like a fantastic team with my husband to help me have a standing, non-epidural birth in a hospital setting. Eva was sensitive to the amount of give and take of info and support I needed on any given day & offered some gorgeous tokens after the birth for our daughter. Eva was our doula, but now she is our friend and forever a part of one of the most profound moments of our lives. She is a blessing!
