I cannot say enough great things about Mkenna and the support she gave me through one of the hardest and most important experiences of my life. I unexpectedly went into labor at only 35 weeks, well before she was supposed to even be on call for me. Despite that she answered every single call and supported me from the very beginning. Unfortunately Mkenna was under the weather when I went into labor and per my decision I decided to not have her physically present. Even though I made that choice, Mkenna never once left my side emotionally or mentally via video chat through my 60-hour labor and through the birth of my son. During my labor I was diagnosed with preeclampsia, had a failed epidural, and faced multiple difficult and unexpected decisions. Through every curveball thrown, Mkenna helped me understand each of the options presented by the doctors and what each possible outcome could look like, allowing me to make informed decisions while still honoring the birth experience I wanted for myself and my baby. During labor there was a point that with my epidural failing I truly believe panic could have set in from the pain. Mkenna helped ground me in that moment. She reminded me to breathe, to use low tones, and to continue to stay focused so my body could continue to do the work. She was also the one who helped me advocate that the epidural was failing, eventually I needed both a spinal and second epidural and Mkenna continued to support me through it all. When I could feel my baby getting close, Mkenna again helped me make an informed decision where I chose to labor down. About 45 minutes later, the doctors did a cervical check and my sons head was right there - it was time to push! Just 22 minutes later my son was born. Even following the birth of my son Mkenna stayed on video to help make sure my birth plan and wishes were still being respected. No matter how many left turns my labor took, I truly believe I got through all of them with the best possible outcome because I had her support. She made me feel informed, empowered, calm, and cared for every step of the way. If you are considering hiring a doula, I can honestly say Mkenna is worth everything and more!

Robyn is an angel. We hired Robyn with our second baby to help with breastfeeding and maximizing sleep/ minimizing stress so we could be more present for our 5 year old and for the health of our marriage and personal sanity! She is a lactation consultant with her own calibrated scale to weigh the baby. She helped me with breastfeeding trouble shooting which was invaluable. She would also "reset" our home at night by doing laundry, dishes, cleaning up toys, and prepping our coffee and breakfast. I'll never forget waking up the first night she was here and seeing our house look so peaceful. She is a very caring and gentle person. She loves babies and loves what she does and it shows. She gave our baby snuggles and love overnight that I was too exhausted to do. She even calmed our 5 year old when she would wake up with bad dreams. Robyn was respectful of our preferences for the baby. She was a godsend and we could not have managed without her help. She is so wonderful and kind. She became part of our newborn bubble.

Hey there, my name is Caroline Patterson and I'm a Certified Birth Doula under DONA. I've been a Doula since 2018 and absolutely love what I do! I've attended births in hospitals, homes, and birth centers. I have an herbal body care business and am deciding to pursue my path to becoming a midwife soon, as well. I live in Oregon House which makes for a unique location to be able to provide services in both Yuba and Nevada County and surrounding areas. I believe in holding space for my clients and making sure they feel safe, seen, and heard. I empower you by supporting you in making your own informed and intuitive decisions—you know your body and baby better than anyone else. While healthcare providers do a wonderful job making sure your little one is delivered safely, my main focus is on your specific needs, desires, emotions, and comfort. I’m here to witness you in your power and do all that I can to support you in your process. With the most care and respect, I will be a Guardian of your Birthing space.

Caroline was an invaluable asset to my pregnancy and birth. Throughout my pregnancy, she provided educational resources, a listening ear, and the tools to guide me through meaningful experiences. It felt so reassuring to know I had someone I could call/text at any time when I had a question about something or just needed to talk. I wanted to feel really connected to myself, nature and my baby during my pregnancy, birth and post-partum journey, and Caroline helped me achieve that. By guiding me through sacred ceremonies, I was able to practice these connections in a way that I wouldn't have on my own. I will never forget these experiences and they were well worth the investment! During the birth, Caroline was by my side the entire time and provided a much needed calming presence. She was so intuitive to my needs and was always one step ahead. From making me smoothies, to wiping my forehead with a cold cloth, to holding space during my contractions...I can't imagine going through birth without her. Highly recommend Caroline as a doula :)
