It’s hard to put into words how grateful I am for Glo. As a first-time mom living far from much of my family, I was nervous about navigating the postpartum period, but after our very first night with Glo, I knew we had found someone incredibly special.
Glo is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, reliable, gentle, and kind. She brought a sense of calm and confidence into our home during a time when everything felt new. She was always there to answer questions, talk through different approaches, and help us navigate each new stage with our daughter without ever making us feel like there was one “right” way to do things.
She also went far beyond simply caring for our baby. Glo helped us set up systems that made our entire bottle prep, feeding, and sanitizing routine so much more efficient and organized. Whenever we needed additional support, she had an incredible network of trusted resources to direct us to, including a lactation consultant who ended up being invaluable to me.
One of the things I appreciated most was how intentional she was about understanding our goals. Each week, she listened to what we wanted to work on—both in the immediate moment and more broadly with our daughter—and helped us turn those goals into clear, actionable plans. So many of the routines and systems she helped us establish have worked incredibly well for our family and given us confidence as new parents.
More than anything, Glo gave me one of the greatest gifts I could have received as a new mother: confidence in my ability to be a mom. She never imposed her way of doing things; instead, she gave me the knowledge, support, and encouragement to trust my own instincts. She was endlessly supportive and brought such a gentle, reassuring presence into our home.
When I look back on the time I became a mother, Glo will forever be a part of that memory. Her warmth, knowledge, patience, and support were more meaningful than I ever could have anticipated. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her by their side, and I truly cannot recommend her enough.

Glo was an amazing doula! We really wanted a pre/ postpartum doula who focused on evidence-based interventions, so Glo was a great fit for us. She taught us so much during our prebirth sessions and came prepared with really helpful information/ tools. Glo was incredibly supportive during labor. And postpartum she really helped us figure out how to navigate the newborn trenches and understand what our son needed! Couldn't recommend her more highly.

I had the privilege of having Glo as my birth and postpartum doula, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. As someone who had always been terrified of giving birth, I can honestly say that my birth experience was not only positive, but actually enjoyable—and that was 100% because of Glo.
During our prenatal session, she took the time to educate both my husband and me on all things birth. We left feeling informed, confident, and empowered to advocate for ourselves and make decisions that felt right for our family. Glo was an incredible support throughout the process. She always made sure we understood our options and the evidence behind them, but never pushed us in any particular direction. Instead, she fully supported every decision we made, which made us feel respected, calm, and in control during such an important moment.
Her postpartum support was just as amazing. She provided immense emotional support during those early weeks, along with practical help with our baby, thoughtful guidance, and even assistance with meal prep and grocery shopping. Having her there made such a difference during a time that can feel overwhelming.
Glo truly helped shape our transition into parenthood into such a smooth, supported, and genuinely lovely experience. We are beyond grateful for her and feel so lucky to have had her by our side during this journey.

We had never even considered bringing on a doula until some of my co-workers recommended it. We're so grateful that we followed their advice and even more grateful that we found Glo. Right from our first meeting we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She had a great energy, was super professional, and put our minds at ease, walking us through even the most complex decisions. As first time parents, we have no idea where we'd be right now without her and if we choose to do it again she'll be the first person we call!

Glory was our birth and postpartum doula and was absolutely incredible—a true godsend. What an exceptional human-being! She went above and beyond in every way, providing calm, knowledgeable, and compassionate support prior to and during labor and in the postpartum period. She has a calming presence, and provided love and guidance for our baby and family. Prior to our baby's delivery, she came to our home to teach us about the stages of labor, positions for labor, and helped us create a birth plan. As baby came early, she moved around her schedule to provide postpartum support (even helping us on Thanksgiving) and helped us set up the nursery, picked up my breast pump and baby carrier from the pump station, and prepared healthy/delicious meal prep (our whole family ate the burritos and fruit bowls she made). I'm convinced that's why my milk supply was and continues to be so high!! Her background as a Professor/PhD was extremely helpful, as she's whip-smart and so humble about it. No job was too big or too small, and she just made the transition so wonderful. If she had any down time while baby was napping, she reorganized all his clothes, packed away clothes he was growing out of, organized my pump station, and taught my toddler ABCs. We loved working with her so much, we extended her contract as a toddler specialist and she helped us with our toddler's transition to preschool. If you're lucky enough she is available for your birth/postpartum period, you need to book TODAY, as she books out for months! She is an elite top 1% doula, and a one-of-a-kind human being.

Working with Glo was truly a blessing. She is a gem! Her warm energy was always a welcomed addition to my home. I used her for postpartum support and she always showed up with a smile and can-do attitude, ready to do whatever (sometimes odd) task I thought would help me better and more easily fulfill my new duties as a mother. She was incredibly supportive and non-judgmental helping me navigate first-time motherhood. From baby wearing to breastfeeding, Glo was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. She also connected me with an amazing lactation specialist when I needed extra help with my baby’s latch. I especially appreciated that she was willing to help me tackle the every day problems overwhelming me, like the dishes and laundry piling up, humbly and without hesitation. She was a valuable part of my postpartum experience and will be forever grateful for her help.

When we started looking for a doula for my first pregnancy, I didn't even know where to start - I didn't even know what kind of help I needed but knew I needed support. I saw "Ears First" and was intrigued. I needed someone to listen to my concerns and questions big or small, and that's exactly what we found with Glory. From the first time meeting Glory, she was the grounded sounding board we needed as first time parents. No overwhelming information, no judgment. In a social media world where expecting mothers are bombarded with a million facts, "birth tips", etc., Glory helped me wade through the river of over-information with eveidence-based, science backed guidance while always leaving the decisions and opinions to me. Throughout my pregnancy she always check in on not only how my body and baby was feeling, but my head and my heart too. Her calm and gentle demeanor made big decisions easier to make.
Come time for my hospital delivery, I felt confident in knowing my options, understanding interventions and I was really able to focus in on my labor, being guided through the process with recommendations from Glory to help labor progress. I had my dream birth and I know wholeheartedly that Glory's presence, support and detailed understanding of my desires was a driving factor in my ability to trust myself and follow my instincts. She helped me see my power.
Every step of my pregnancy, delivery, and early postpartum was met with compassion, respect, and dedication from Glory. Having her as my doula was the best decision I made and I couldn't recommend her more. She'll be a forever friend of our family and we could not be more grateful for her!

Working with Glory as both our birth and postpartum doula was one of the best decisions we made. She is professional, trustworthy, calm, and genuinely goes above and beyond in every aspect of her work.
Postpartum, she was incredibly helpful with both emotional and practical support. She took initiative without ever overstepping, followed our lead as parents, and created a steady, reassuring presence in our home. She was excellent at baby-related care and household support, always keeping our kitchen sink clean and organized, and preparing truly delicious, nourishing meals that made a real difference during recovery. She also helped us troubleshoot very specific challenges related to sleep, bottle feeding, and lactation, and when something was outside her scope as a doula, she thoughtfully referred us to an excellent IBCLC, which we greatly appreciated.
She is highly communicative, responsive, and supportive, and consistently brought a warm, positive, and grounded energy. We trusted her completely and always felt respected and heard.
As a birth doula, she invested significant time outside of our scheduled prenatal meetings, providing education, guidance, and emotional support. When I encountered a complication that required an induction, she was especially helpful in walking us through what to expect and how to advocate for my needs. During labor and delivery, she was exceptional at protecting oxytocin, guiding positioning, and supporting both me and my husband as a true teammate. Her presence helped us feel confident, informed, and supported through labor, delivery, and into postpartum recovery.
We are incredibly grateful for her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a doula who is knowledgeable, proactive, warm, and deeply supportive.

Glory was my daughter’s doula, and she helped bring my very first grand baby into the world. You can only imagine how scared and nervous I was, though I tried not to let my daughter see it. I worried I wouldn’t be the support she needed, and my anxiety was overwhelming. But the moment Glory walked in, everything ran so smoothly and I felt I could breathe. She was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about all things labor, which instantly gave us peace of mind. Glory wasn’t just there for my daughter, she was also there for me, keeping me calm and reassured. She advocated for anything and everything my daughter wanted during labor, making sure her voice was heard and respected every step of the way. On top of her guidance, she came prepared with thoughtful equipment like soft lighting and white noise, which transformed the cold, bland hospital room into a more comfortable and soothing space, for my daughter, and everyone else in the room, as well.
— Isabel P.
During labor, Glory’s presence was calming and encouraging. She supported my wife with comfort measures, breathing techniques, and guidance that truly made the experience more positive and empowering. For me as a partner, she also made sure I felt included and confident in how I could best support my wife. I thank god glory got to be there while me and my partner needed her the most
— Jacob M.
Glory She is the best DULA . I am very grateful for everything she did for me. She taught me many things that I didn't know because I was a first-time mother. She is very patient and understanding I will never forget everything she did for me I really recommend her because she does really good work.
— Perla C.
I am part of a program that supports pregnant women in need of shelter. Glory, without hesitation, generously dedicated her time and expertise. I can’t begin to describe how incredible she was throughout my labor and delivery. Her prenatal classes were not only informative, but also calming and reassuring—especially if you struggle with anxiety about labor. During my delivery, Glory made the entire experience smoother and more comfortable, not just for me but also for my loved ones. She was by our side every step of the way, offering support, comfort, and guidance. I truly believe that her knowledge, presence, and care played a huge role in making my delivery such a positive experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Glory to anyone who has the opportunity to work with
— Leslie A.
Working with Glory was amazing. She listens to your wants and needs and makes sure that your priorities are met. I was very unsure on how I wanted to give birth initially.. I was in between an induction and a C-section. I was also really iffy about breast-feeding. Glory helped me understand each procedure to the fullest. Once I made my decisions, she supported me fully. I had a great birthing experience and I truly don't think I would've had this if it wasn't for Glory supporting me. I ultimately chose a C-section and Glory was there every step of the way. She prepared me for surgery so I wasn't as nervous as I would've been. She also provided some overnights to give me a chance to heal after surgery. I am beyond grateful for her. She is so nice and I truly hope that we remain friends after this experience! If you are questioning getting a doula, I would not. It is the support I truly needed. I would also highly recommend Glory.

Glory was amazing to work with and such an invaluable member of our birth team– before, during, and after our son's birth. She is so warm, caring, and helpful– while also being extremely thorough and detail oriented. It was the perfect combo for us and made the whole birth process less intimidating for us as first time parents. We met a couple times during my pregnancy, and she guided us through developing our birth plan, explaining all our options along the way and helping us understand what to expect. She also included my partner at every step along the way and empowered him to know how best to support me on the day. It also helped that we felt a strong personality match and loved her sense of humor throughout. She always made herself available to us for questions, which ended up being crucial as my pregnancy timeline evolved ans our plans shifted. I can't imagine how differently my labor and delivery experience would have been without her guidance and support. We can't thank her enough and would recommend her to anyone.
— Katie S.
Glory was our night nanny for the first six weeks with our newborn. Her calming and reassuring presence was an absolute blessing, and I don't know how we would have navigated these early weeks as first-time partnes without her. Glory provided nurturing care overnight while we were able to get much needed rest. Just knowing our baby was in capable, loving and rested hands allowed us to relax. Beyond overnight care, Glory taught the basics of newborn parenting, patiently answered questions and offered advice on swaddling techniques and feeding and sleeing routines, all of which helped us gain confidence as new parents. Glory's warm and supportive approach to our baby and to us was greatly appreciated, and we learned so much. It was a bittersweet moment saying goodbye after what felt like too short of time with Glory's care. If you are a new parent considering a night nanny and postpartum support, we couldn't recommend Glory more for her gift of nurturing, rest, confidence and peace of mind.
— Steven and Brennen S.
My daughter just delivered a healthy baby girl and Glory was there every step of the way (before delivery, during, and after delivery) in a most compassionate and professional manner. She is the best of both worlds - loving and compassionate like a best friend would be; but incredibly knowledgeable and professional in her approach which promotesd the best kind of trust and respect from both my daughter and myself. Glory is in love with what she does, and it shows in every conversation and every action. Her main focus was always my daughter, working seamlessly with the nurses and doctors for a most lovely experience. I highly recommend her services. Thank you, Glory!
— Holly T.
I HAD GLORY AS MY DOULA AND IT MADE SUCH A HUGE DIFFERENCE!! WE MET A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE THE BABY WAS BORN AND SHE WALKED ME THROUGH ABOUT WHAT TO EXPECT IN LABOR AND WE MADE A BIRTH PLAN TOGETHER AND SHE ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONS I HAD!! DURING LABOR SHE ALWAYS MADE SURE I HAD EVERYTHING I NEEDED AND WAS COMFORTABLE. SHE ADVOCATED FOR ME AND MADE SURE I KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON. SHE PLAYED CALMING MUSIC AND HAD A GLOW LIGHT WHICH MADE EVERYTHING SO PEACEFUL. WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR BABY TO COME SHE DID BREATHING EXERCISES WITH ME WHICH HELPED TREMENDOUSLY. SHE CAME AFTER I GOT HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL AS WELL AND WATCHED MY BABY WHILE I WAS ABLE TO EAT AND SHOWER. GLORY HAS BEEN SO AMAZING WITH ANSWERING ALL MY QUESTIONS AND SUPPORTING ME AND MY BABY THROUGH POSTPARTUM. IM TRULY SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE HAD SUCH AN AMAZING DOULA AND BIRTH EXPERIENCE.

My wife and I used Glory as our postpartum doula for several weeks following the birth of our son. She was incredibly helpful to us. We knew we wanted to wait a few weeks after our son was born before hosting our families, but as first time parents we also had a ton of “now what?” questions after getting home from the hospital. Glory helped us bridge that gap. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing there was someone there to help us through those early days, which can feel really overwhelming.
She helped us get comfortable with the basics of feeding, diaper changing, swaddling, holding and soothing — all the things it takes some time before you fed confident as first time parents. Her focus was on helping us feel confident and figuring out our own methods for everything.
She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and easy to communicate with. We knew she was going to be an amazing help to our family from our very first meeting with her. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.
— Matthew D.
An awesome experience with my doula Glory helped me so much in so many ways. With helping me rest ,cooking ,doing laundry also great on interacting with my one year old playing with him , taking him outside going on walks. I would recommend her . She is the best !!
— Estefany N.
First time mom. I cannot say enough good things about Glory’s support leading up to and during the birth of my baby boy. She is thoughtful and attentive to your birth plan and goals, and also provides information on different options without pushing you in any specific direction. She is so calm and steady, it helped me and my husband stay calm and present during the birth process. Cannot recommend enough.
