I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support provided by Kayleigh throughout my pregnancy journey. From the moment we connected, Kayleigh exhibited a remarkable level of professionalism, compassion, and expertise that immediately put me at ease. Throughout every step of the way, Kayleigh was not just a doula but a true guardian of my well-being. She listened attentively to all my concerns, providing invaluable guidance and reassurance. Her depth of knowledge and experience in prenatal care was evident, as she addressed each of my worries with patience and understanding. What truly set Kayleigh apart was her unwavering dedication to ensuring my comfort and safety. Whether it was through informative discussions about childbirth options, practical advice on nutrition and exercise, or emotional support during moments of uncertainty, Kayleigh was there, offering her unwavering support. During labor and delivery, Kayleigh was an indispensable presence, providing calming reassurance and advocating for my needs every step of the way. Her soothing demeanor and encouraging words were a source of strength during the most intense moments, making the birthing process feel less daunting and more manageable. I cannot imagine navigating my pregnancy journey without Kayleigh by my side. Her expertise, compassion, and unwavering support were instrumental in making my experience as smooth and empowering as possible. I wholeheartedly recommend Kayleigh to any expectant parent seeking a dedicated and compassionate doula who truly goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of her clients.

Having doula support will smooth your transition to parenthood- a Magical yet challenging time! We are ready to support all your childbirth and parenting needs, including lactation and sleep.

I don’t even know where to begin in describing how grateful I am for Petra and the incredible support she gave me, my husband, and our son born in April 2024. She was, in every sense of the word, the doula of our dreams. We call her our 'fairy godmother.' We were first-time parents who truly didn’t know what we were doing. Petra walked into our home with a calm, reassuring presence that immediately made us feel safe and supported. Petra never made us feel judged or inadequate — instead, she showed us step by step how to care for our newborn, starting with the first step into our house from the hospital, and my question of, "umm, so where do I put him?". From there, she patiently taught us all the practical skills (feeding, burping, bathing, diapering, soothing, etc.), as we had no idea what we were doing. All the books I read while pregnant did not prepare me for the real thing. Petra prepared us for the real thing. More than the “how-to,” Petra gave us peace of mind. She answered every question with kindness and expertise. She normalized our fears, reassured us when we second-guessed ourselves, and reminded us that we were doing a good job. She also cared for us as parents. She encouraged us to rest, to eat, and to breathe. Her presence lifted so much of the anxiety from those early days and gave us space to bond with our baby rather than drown in uncertainty. Petra was everything we hoped for in a doula: knowledgeable, nurturing, reliable, compassionate, and endlessly patient. She went above and beyond. I can say without exaggeration that she helped us survive and truly enjoy those first weeks as a new family. Suyin also contributed to the post-partum support of our family as my lactation consultant. You really just don't know how difficult breast feeding is until you try it! Suyin helped me with latch, positioning, and confidence. Her visits at our home were comfortable and stress-free, and she helped turned breast-feeding into something I could actually enjoy. I can’t recommend her enough!

Hi everyone! My name is Rhiannon and I have been a doula since 2019. I am a birth and postpartum doula, with additional knowledge in conception, fertility, and loss.

Recent review

I cannot recommend Rhiannon and her doula services enough! During my consultation, Rhiannon made me feel so comfortable, calm, and peaceful about the birthing process. She is such a smart, loving, and down-to earth person to have in your corner! I was so nervous about labor and delivery (and everything else that comes after!) But Rhiannon helped me with a birthing plan, (and postpartum plan) gave me GREAT TIPS, and most importantly, listened without judging me, my choices, or my many fears (no matter how small!) When pregnant, EVERYONE gives you advice, but Rhiannon really listens to what YOU want, and helps you to achieve that goal. I also utilized her postpartum services too, as I was very nervous about breastfeeding/pumping. She came to the hospital and gently explained how the pump worked (my little one was in the NICU) and sat with me as I went through that first time pumping. As she sat with me, we had such a wonderful conversation. She makes sure to focus on the Mama! Naturally most people are interested in the baby (and she was WONDERFUL with my little girl too) but she helped me feel like everything I was going through, and feeling was SO normal, especially when my hormones were making my emotions go up and down. It felt like having both a counselor, and a best friend by my side, at the same time. You will not regret using Rhiannon as your Doula! She will care for you, advocate for you, and most importantly, help you feel happy and calm about bringing your little bundle into the world!
