As a first time mom there was so much to learn and understand, but working with Inga made it flawless for my Husband and I to prepare for our little one and with the Lords help! We would have not known what to do if we didn’t have Inga’s help! The breathing techniques are superb it works and it helps! I was able to breathe through pitocin with no medication up to level 14, and even after having to get an epidural that suddenly stopped working completely. I was back to feeling the pain from the pitocin on full blast and in transition all I could do was call on Jesus through the breathing techniques Inga has demonstrated for us. We highly recommend Inga her determination, commitment, compassion, and kindness, knowledge, and wisdom is what a family needs during preparing for as she would say “the ride of your life” because that’s exactly what it is and then it’s a bliss of pure love. Overall our birth experience was worth it and we would do it all over again especially with the help of Inga. We couldn’t thank you enough Inga you are truly blessed with a gift and we thank you for allowing us to receive it!

Taking the child birthing education course with Inga Goodwin was eye opening, encouraging, and reassuring. She is committed to making sure mom and dad are equipped with the techniques and strategies that are important in preparing to meet their little one. The material covered in the course is a reminder that the beauty of birthing is in the hands of our Creator God. Having the knowledge of how the body is designed and responds during the birthing process is an essential part of the birthing journey. Inga's informative presentation is sure to prepare mom and dad with that knowledge and awareness. We are confident and excited about our journey.

Working with Inga has been amazing! From our first encounter, I was very pleased. Her demeanor and fact based presentations truly made me feel comfortable from day one. Being able to understand and effectively track my hormone levels has been very beneficial for me. Inga’s open door policy is truly what I have appreciated the MOST. I’m able to text or call Inga and she is readily available to assist and answer any question I may need clarity on. She has a TRUE passion for her work and exhibits this with each encounter. I look forward to continuing my services and working with her.

Inga has been such a pleasure to work with during my journey to and through pregnancy. I first met with her to help me conceive. She helped me assess the key factors supporting fertility and accurately track my progress. She was clear, knowledgeable and ultimately helped me achieve my goal of pregnancy!! I continue to work with her for birthing classes and recommendations to support a healthy pregnancy and positive birth experience and she’s been great! She’s responsive, supportive and a true professional! I highly recommend you connect with her if you are trying to conceive!

My husband and I decided to hire a Christian birth doula for many reasons: we wanted the Spiritual, physical and emotional support provided by a doula at our birth – and leading up to it. Made the entire experience so positive and would highly recommend Inga. The support that was provided made me feel much more comfortable and confident through my journey into motherhood. Her coaching and follow up was consistent, caring, and compassionate.

Inga is incredible! I cannot say enough how patient, reassuring, insightful, and helpful she has been during my process of trying to conceive. I highly recommend her services. She is very much in tune with trying to create a genuine bond with her client, being transparent and being up-to-date on everything on the medical and mental health end of things. I plan to reach out to her in the future. Thank you so much Inga, I am grateful for you!
