I had Darlene as my doula for my first baby. She was very organized and I appreciated her thoughtfulness and prenatal meetings. She supported me through my transition between midwives and OB care. Postpartum, I utilized her overnight services which was super helpful as a first time mom.

I would whole heartedly recommend Taylor as a doula, especially for faith centered families. I contacted Taylor the day our precious baby boy was born. Aside from the incredible joy of having a new baby as a first time mom, it was a very emotional, stressful, and difficult time for our family because our original doula fell through just a week before the birth. I was so grateful when Taylor answered, and she quickly got the ball rolling. A day later, she came to provide care and the incredible emotional support I desperately needed. What we loved most about Taylor was her calming energy, caring presence, and more than anything, her genuine heart. Her supportive and non-judgmental attitude towards our family and faith meant the world to us. I wish I had her for my birth! I truly believe things fell through with our original doula because God had a better plan. I will be forever grateful for her support and guidance during those tender early days with our sweet baby, and I hope to have her at my side for my next birth. ??

Melanie Guymon is a superb CFSD. She spent nights with our little bub for 2+months, she gave us a reprieve and support during the difficult newborn days hard. We had a colicliky baby and Melanie not only helped us advocate to our doctors that our baby might have reflux, but she also gave us superb tips on how to help ease her discomfort at night and during the day. During her time with us Melabie also helped us prepare our baby to move out of the swaddle, and due to her tips, our baby seamlessly transitioned from her Snoo + bassinet and into her crib and a sleep sack. She continued to support us with sleep coaching as well, helping us with our babies sleep schedule, which has allowed our baby to sleep better than all of our other baby friends in a similar age range. We had Melanie start with us around the 6 week mark due to our postpartum schedule, and she was with us until just under 4 months. We could not have done this journey without her.

I cannot recommend Ashley enough! She is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She is skilled in baby positioning, helping to ensure optimal alignment for a smoother labor process. Additionally she has a great understanding when it comes to tongue and lip ties and body work. Her expertise made a huge difference in my experience. Beyond her skills, she has a wonderful sense of humor that puts you at ease. Her passion for what she does is evident. Her ability to make complex topics understandable and approachable was so helpful. Ashley gave great guidance on how to help labor progress naturally and it was instrumental in achieving the birth experience I desired.

My labor and birthing experience with Jacqi was beyond amazing! Her calm and collected presence is something I’ll continue to be grateful for. I, unfortunately, had somewhat of a traumatic laboring experience due to my high risk pregnancy, and if it wasn’t for Jacqi’s knowledge and calm demeanor I don’t think I would’ve navigated all the medical issues as well as I did. I had my laboring room full of love and support; I had my husband, my sister, mother in law, and Jacqi. With over 36hours of laboring, Jacqi supported me every second. She knew what to do and when. She remembered everything from my birth plan, which was so great, even though my medical situation didn’t allow for some of my preferences to be honored, Jacqi still advocated for the birth experience I envisioned. She was also such a light to have in my room and kept the spirits high with everyone around. She brought snacks, had all the tools to help me labor, and was so so so incredibly emotionally supportive. My first time birthing experience with a traumatic medical condition wasn’t something I could navigate without Jacqi’s involvement! I will 10/10 be working with Jacqi again for my next birth!!

I feel so lucky to have had Sheilena as my doula. From the very beginning, she was incredibly professional, responsive, and patient. During our initial conversations and prenatal Zoom sessions, she took the time to answer all of my questions — even the most random ones — with genuine care and respect. As a first-time mom, that meant so much to me. When my water broke in the middle of the night, Sheilena stayed in close contact with me over text the entire time. Even while she was on duty, she proactively looped in her backup doulas, who were all equally reliable and supportive. Together, they reassured me, helped me assess my situation, and guided me on when it was appropriate to rest at home and when to communicate with my medical team about pain management. Despite having attended multiple births and likely being exhausted, Sheilena showed up fully present for me before I received my epidural. She helped prepare a bath and spent hours providing hands-on support and massage to ease my pain — something I will never forget. During labor, she continued to advocate for me and communicate my needs clearly with the medical staff, especially when I was feeling nauseous from Pitocin. Her emotional support, reassurance, and attentiveness made such a difference in helping me feel safe and cared for. As a beautiful final touch, she shared so many precious photos from the birth — memories that I will cherish forever. Overall, I’m deeply grateful for her presence and support throughout my birth experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better doula.

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Marlo! As the owner of a postpartum doula agency, I have had the privilege of working alongside many incredible doulas. But Marlo has constantly stood out as one of my most trusted, dedicated, and exceptional team members! Marlo was the first doula to join my agency after initially providing backup support for me and a family that I was working with. From the moment I met Marlo, I knew that I could trust her and depend on her. Ever since she has been an invaluable part of my team, and my life. Her compassion, reliability, professionalism, and genuine dedication to this work and the families she supports, is unmatched. As a small business owner and Mother myself, it gives me such great peace of mind knowing that the reputation of my business, and the families who trust us are in the best hands with her!

November 2026

As Marlo’s business partner, we work closely together a lot, and I see firsthand the immense heart, honesty, and professionalism she brings to every single family we serve. I know how deeply our joint families love Marlo and appreciate her care—the previous claim about her being greedy or unprofessional couldn't be further from the truth. We built our practice on transparency, clear contract boundaries, and an ethical backup network to protect parents during an unpredictable season. When severe medical emergencies arise, Marlo always acts with total integrity and clear communication. I am incredibly proud of our work together, fully stand by her character, and am so grateful to have found a partner in her.
