We are so thankful to have found Madhu going into my second pregnancy. I was looking for support and encouragement as I prepared mentally for VBAC, and I really felt aligned with how Madhu presented her methods. Leading up to delivery, Madhu instructed me on very specific exercises, movement, stretches, and breath work to optimize my posture and calm my nervous system. We met in-person and practiced these moves together to better prepare my husband and I for labor and delivery. As my due date approached, Madhu kept in touch and maintained such a supportive presence, reminding me that things will happen naturally, and to give my body the time and space it needed for spontaneous labor. I found that her simple and steady communication at this point in my pregnancy had the most value. Her support kept me from doubting myself and allowed me to establish the right mindset. Because I had a C-section with my first pregnancy, I didn’t know what to expect with labor pains or even the onset of spontaneous labor as I was previously induced with pitocin and felt quick intense pain. This time around, my water spontaneously broke (at 40 weeks + 5 days) and contractions started soon after. Madhu met my husband and I at the hospital and immediately went into action by helping me work through positions to manage the discomfort. Keeping an open mind and knowing my experience could still result in another C-section, I really felt comfortable having my support systems in place which ultimately helped my mindset along the way. I truly believe I was able to consequently push through some difficult labor pains. Ultimately I ended up having the birth that I wished for, and I’m so thankful for taking each contraction as a moment to work through! Thank you Madhu!

Lauren Cordon was amazing. I went into labor early, before I could even have a full consultation with her. She still immediately left to come to the hospital so I wouldn't be alone through the labor, as I'm a single mother. She stayed from when I was 6cm dilated until an hour after the birth, making sure I was good for her to leave even then. She showed support, constantly checking up on me through the process, holding my hand as needed, getting me whatever items I needed like my drinks or phone etc. She has medical knowledge, and was able to answer questions I had about the labor process, what certain equipment and such were in the room, and when I had a medical emergency during contractions, she immediately jumped to help the medical staff how she could, getting any items and furniture out of the way to make room, seeing what she could do for the staff, and making sure I was comfortable still. When my daughter was born, she made sure to take pictures for me when she was getting weighed and measured, as I was stuck in the bed and couldnt do it myself. She also messaged my parents when I asked her to, to keep them updated. After the birth, she kept in touch, making sure I knew she was still here for me, and that I knew what all her services offered, including 5 postpartum sessions in the first 3 months following the birth. I have yet to use these sessions but it is a very helpful thing to offer. I highly recommend this company and this specific doula.

Hello, I'm Jen Jones, and I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you. I'm not just a childbirth educator and doula; I'm a passionate advocate for the power of informed, empowered birthing experiences. My own journey into the world of birth work was deeply personal. As a mother of three, I've walked the path of childbirth, experiencing two hospital births and one powerful home birth. It was my home birth experience that ignited a spark within me – a spark that would lead me to pursue training as a doula and create childbirth classes. The power of birth is profound. It's an experience that can transform you, inspire you, and change the way you view your own strength. My own experiences have been the driving force behind my mission to help others discover the depth of choices available in childbirth. At Mama Led Birth, I offer a range of services designed to guide and support you on your own unique birth journey. Whether you're seeking a home birth, a personalized hospital birth, or simply a greater understanding of your options, I'm here to provide you with the tools and knowledge you need. My services include online and in-person childbirth classes that cover a wide range of topics, as well as doula support – both in-person and virtually. My goal is to empower you to make informed decisions about your birth experience. I firmly believe that every expecting mother deserves to know her options and feel in control of her journey. Birth is a deeply personal, transformative moment, and I'm here to ensure it's a beautiful, empowering experience for you.

Rachel is an AMAZING provider. A wealth of knowledge coupled with the bedside manner of a saint. I recommend her 1000% to help meet you where you are and walk you through whatever challenge you approach her office with. She is also surrounded by an amazing circle of referral partners so if your particular situation also requires the care of other providers, she is able to point you to the best ones. I particularly remember when I was pregnant with my 2nd baby who's now 1.5y old and Rachel spent over an hour simply asking me questions about me, my own well being and mental health as well as diseccting through my first breastfeeding journey which sadly did not go well and how that had affected me emotionally. Regardless of how my 2nd journey would have unfolded at the time, the fact that she even took the time to ask about the first journey was HUGE. RUNNNN to Rachel's office.
