Halfway through my 3rd pregnancy I knew I wanted to try out the possibility of having a doula. I did not have one with my first baby and I believe having one would have drastically helped. I found Lauren through a friend and immediately called her, she was everything I needed and more. She was calm, understood my preferences and beliefs and we immediately clicked! She was always a phone call/text away through my whole pregnancy when I had questions or needed advice! When I went into labor my husband had to be with my family so she came to my house to support me through labor, she was magical! Although my birth did not end up how I would have ever imagined, she never left my side. She was there praying with me when they told me I would need a c section, she was there for me through the c section and came to visit postpartum in the hospital and at home. She was absolutely incredible and I would recommend her to anyone!

Our family had Deb for both my children during the newborn period. She served as a night nurse and worked 5-6 nights a week for serval months postpartum with both my children. She even watched the children over a weekend when we had to go to a wedding in the postpartum period. Deb is am amazing and invaluable resource. She is caring, knowledgeable, and kind. She helped me with pumping and breastfeeding and everything that comes with that (washing pump parts/bottles, storing breastmilk, positioning the baby, tips for when I got mastitis, etc.) She provided me tips and reassurance for everything from a refluxing baby, colicy/cranky baby, sleep training, bath time, bed time, “reading the baby’s cues”, eczema, sickness and more. She immensely cares about the baby, but she also checks in on the mother and making sure your recovery is going smoothly. I highly recommend Deb to anyone and we were lucky to have her in our home.

I absolutely loved having Amy participate in my birth and postpartum care! She was attentive and made helpful suggestions throughout the time she was with us. The Prenatal discussions allowed me to learn more about my previous birth and things that I wanted to go differently in the upcoming birth. Amy assisted me in research that on things that I wanted more information on and was a wealth of knowledge. She provided books and other resources that I didn't even know were out there. I was planning a homebirth and prior to labor she brought me a kit with different size peanut balls and a TENS unit and that was super helpful during my labor. Amy was very supportive throughout my labor and birth and brought essential oils in inhaler forms. She was also very attentive to my needs by providing sips of water, suggesting position changes, and even started a meal in my crockpot so it would be ready after delivery. During the postpartum period Amy helped with meal preparation, guidance on where to gain additional information on breastfeeding, took care of dishes, laundry, pump parts, helped me learn different baby wraps and how to secure the baby in them. She was also very accommodating with my toddler and indoor animals supervising them in outside play in the yard. I also enjoyed getting to discuss the labor and gain more insight to what happened and she even took pictures of the labor and delivery and sent it to me in google photos. This labor, delivery, and postpartum experience was a much better experience then I previously had and much of that is due to Amy's knowledge, care, and attention. I can't say thank you enough.

Lauren is amazing and was a true support throughout my pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. She was informative and went out of her way to find more information for me about things I was unsure about, such as delayed cord clamping and lactation consultants. I felt like Lauren was on my side and didn't judge me for the decisions I made and she definitely wasn't pushing her own idea of what birth or child-rearing should be like. As a person she has a relaxing presence and is fun to spend time with. I felt that our personalities clicked when I met her so it made the decision very easy. Before birth, Lauren assisted my husband and I by going through all of the different labor positions and pain management techniques we were interested in and she even helped us meal prep some things for our freezer! During birth, Lauren was a large advocate for what I wanted, even though I had quite a pushy and possible outdated doctor. This was my second birth experience and it was as close to everything I wanted as possible and I know that was because of Lauren. I could not have wished for a better person or doula to have with us and I am truly thankful that Lauren does what she does.

I can’t recommend Jessica and Cassie enough! I’ve known Jessica for a long time, and she is truly one of the most compassionate and skilled nurses I know. Her attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care for others really shine through in everything she does. Cassie is just as amazing! she is incredibly sweet, caring, and empathetic. Her talent as a photographer is unmatched. She has such a special way of capturing moments that feel natural while making you feel comfortable. Together, they create such a positive and comfortable experience. You can truly feel how much they care about people, and it shows in their work. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Lucy did a fantastic job! She was able to press on some pressure points for me and helped me get through each contraction that way. It made a HUGE difference! She was also there for me in any little thing I needed and didn’t hesitate to meet me where I was at. She suggested different things for me to try and wasn’t too pushy or too laid back. I would 100% recommend her to anyone that is giving birth. Having a doula was so beneficial and Lucy was amazing at doing her work. 🥰

Ashley was great. She showed up at the hospital in the middle of the night as I started having contractions. She provided me with different labor positions and breathing techniques to help me get as much rest as I possibly could before things got much more intense. She was invaluable to our birthing experience
