Our family wanted to express our appreciation for the love you showed Rizzo the first time we brought her in, on the phone with me talking about her terminal cancer, and finally when we had to say goodbye. You gave her scratches and kisses, said nice things to her. Our family really felt your genuine love, and that is important. Please don't ever change. It means more than you know. The whole staff was great, but you stood out. Again, somehow you helped us go through the process of losing our young baby Rizzo, the Aire-doodle.

I cannot recommend Marie as the Manicured Doula enough! She is an incredibly compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated doula who provides unwavering support in every aspect of care. From in-hospital support to postpartum recovery and even sibling childcare, she ensures that both parents, other family members, and baby feel nurtured and cared for. Her calming presence and wealth of knowledge make all the difference during such a transformative time. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens, empowers, and uplifts families through every stage of the journey, Marie is the one to use. She has an incredible heart of gold and is so passionate about her work, it is conveyed in how much time she spends investing in both mom, support person, and baby. We absolutely love Marie and hope others will use her too and experience the level of commitment and care everyone deserves.

Marie walked me through my birth plan in the most excellent way! She is exceptionally kind and understanding and knew so much about the birthing process. I was in good hands from start to finish. We even had fun writing the birth plan! I highly recommend letting her do your nails!
