"I am so glad we had Lindsay to lean on during my birth experience. She was able to provide helpful guidance and reassurance before, during, and after labor. My partner was grateful for her assistance with support techniques for me while I was laboring, and we were both glad to have her as a sounding board and a voice of comfort throughout. She also brought items to help create a soothing environment in the hospital room!”

Gwen was absolutely amazing! This was my husband and I’s first child labor experience and we felt ready to take on the new journey. She guided us step by step with an well put together powerpoint, explaining emotion experiences we may have, procedures, medicine and so much more . Gwen took her time to make sure we didn't feel overwhelmed with information but made sure we understood that we had choices in the delivery room, we are in control of our labor. She also made it appointment to focus on our relationship as a couple before our daughter and after the birth of our daughter. She shared her own experience and insight and it was a wonder experience to have. Thank you again Gwen, we wouldn’t of had the knowledge, confidence and understanding with out you!

Hiring Neisha was one of the best decisions I made as I prepared for childbirth, and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone. While I was initially unsure about whether I wanted to hire a doula, after interviewing Neisha I was convinced that it would be helpful to bring her on to support me and my husband before, during, and after the delivery of our first child, and I was not disappointed. I ultimately had a very positive birth experience, and I credit Neisha for giving me the preparation, knowledge, and validation needed to make informed decisions and clearly communicate my preferences during labor and delivery. Early on, she provided us with ample online resources to begin our childbirth preparation. During our prenatal meetings we developed a birth plan, practiced comfort techniques, and discussed the essentials of breastfeeding and newborn care. Throughout my labor Neisha calmly fielded our increasingly anxious calls about whether to take Pitocin and when to begin the epidural. She was a reassuring presence in the delivery room, suggesting alternative positions and providing encouragement to me and my husband through two hours of pushing. Postpartum, Neisha helped with breastfeeding, and continued to check in for several weeks after the end of our official contract as I dealt with a difficult and unexpected complication. Neisha’s professionalism and expertise combined with her warmth and sense of humor made her an invaluable part of my birth team. I would absolutely hire her again. (PS - she is also an incredible massage therapist!)

Rachel was amazing! As the partner, I felt supported every step of the way and she gave me the confidence to really be there for my wife. She kept us calm, knew exactly what we needed, and made the whole experience so much better. Couldn’t recommend her enough!

Cynthia has been such a great Doula in my postpartum experience. She has helped me emotionally and physically transition into the postpartum phase. She has a kind and gentle spirit. She is patient and thoughtful. On each occasion where she came, she provided a postpartum meal or a useful gift which was a very thoughtful surprise. She takes her role as a postpartum Doula very seriously and is extremely prepared and made me feel safe and assured during the postpartum activities, she also made herself available to me for any questions that I have following and provided some useful resources and networks related to issues and questions that I had. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is interested in postpartum services.

I have been so lucky to hire Melissa twice as a doula now and I could not recommend her services enough. She is a wonderful advocate for mothers and truly listened to what I needed. She gave me the space to think about what my needs might be and I don’t think I would have known without her there to ask those questions. She helped prep our whole family in a way where I felt so well cared for. For both of the births Melissa was there for, as soon as she walked in I felt a huge sigh of relief. She was there and she had me and my back and I fully trusted her to guide me. We were also fortunate enough to hire her postpartum doulas! We had the pleasure of working with Veronica, Danielle and Bernadette. Everyone brought different outstanding qualities that were a total joy to experience. They went above and beyond to learn about our families needs and fit right in. I trusted all of them with my postpartum care, cooking meals, giving my husband a break and endless sibling entertainment for my bigger kids so I could snuggle in bed with our new baby. I felt so well supported my body was able to heal physically and I could emotionally take space when needed. There was always round the clock care and they were quick to fill our schedule when I quickly realized I needed more support than I had initially intended. I wish all mothers could experience this kind of care.

Yasmina was a vital part of my second pregnancy and labor and delivery. I don’t know what I would have done without her. To give some background, I had an emergency cerclage put in and I reached out to Yasmina after to inquire about her doula services. She listened to my concerns, my backstory, and my wishes. Not only was she attentive and caring, but because she knew there was a possibility the baby would be born early, she had a backup doula in case she was not back from out of town. That doula was also so attentive and was full of knowledge as well. Yasmina checked in with me consistently and when it was time, she came to the hospital immediately after I confirmed she should come. When there, she had so many strategies to help calm my mind and my body. She helped me think through decisions when it came to my labor and the hospital/doctors and she advocated for me. Yasmina knew I wanted to go natural/no epidural or Pitocin and we made a plan to do so. As the pain got more and more intense, she was encouraging and suggested different positions and coached me through the contractions and hard times. She applied pressure and made suggestions and had music and lighting and smells to set the scene in addition to different tools to help me through. I was in labor for about 3 hours and when it came time that I felt I couldn’t go any further because the pain was a 10/10, she continuously cheered me on until it was time to push. While pushing she advocated for me when I couldn’t even talk. When things got scary after baby came out, she held my hand and calmed me. After things were settled she made sure I was okay before she left. Afterwards, she checked up on me many times. I was not able to have a doula during my first labor because it was during COVID, Yasmina made my second labor a COMPLETELY different experience in a positive way. The first time I tore a second degree and my cervix lacerated, the second time with her I only had first degree tears and a good recovery and I truly believe it was because she calmed me and helped me relax my body as much as possible during labor. I highly recommend Yasmina to be your doula. She is knowledgeable, understanding and good at what she does!

Kim spent 3 weeks with our family as a night doula and we could not be more grateful for her. Kim knowledgeable, personable and a joy to have in your home, she took excellent care of our newborn and made the transition in the first postpartum weeks easy for the entire family. I highly recommend Kim for families looking for a postpartum doula!

Harmony's assistance was invaluable to us during my pregnancy, labor, delivery, and post partum. She helped me to understand a lot of the processes both that my body would go through and that the medical system would put me through, which was incredibly helpful in making more informed decisions and planning for what would be an unorthodox birth. Harmony helped me flesh out my birth plan more completely, which helped me to feel more in control when the time came to make medical decisions. Additionally, she was there through a significant portion of my LONG labor and assisted not only with that process, but also with providing support to my teenage daughter, who was present for labor and who experienced some anxiety because of it. She video called with me in the hospital during my recovery to help me navigate caring for my babies and preparing for breastfeeding despite their need for NICU treatment. Harmony went above and beyond to connect me with someone who could help me with the challenges of breastfeeding twins when I struggled post-partum. We truly cannot imagine what this process would've looked like without her and would (and already have!) recommended her highly to friends and family!

Aniyah provided services for me when I gave birth to my son. She was very attentive to my needs and helped to keep me calm during my delivery. When I went into labor she dropped what she was doing to be by my side and checked on me every day until I was discharged. She was the absolute best and I highly recommend!

- Amira T.

I am really thankful for the amazing help she gave me when my son was born. Right from the start she was friendly well-informed and caring which helped me feel confident and comfortable during my pregnancy and delivery. During labor she provided support comfort and encouragement throughout the entire process. She collaborated smoothly with my doctors and my partner making sure I felt cared for both physically and emotionally. Her help with pain management techniques like breathing exercises and body positioning was extremely helpful. After the baby was born she kept in touch with us offering useful resources for after the birth and emotional support. I really appreciate her for helping me have a great and empowering birth experience. I strongly suggest her to anyone in need of a caring and talented doula! Even after the birth, she continued to check in on us, providing helpful postpartum resources and emotional support. I had a positive and empowering birth experience. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled doula!

Bergen helped me with my home birth with childbirth education, lactation and she encapsulated my placenta. I really loved how she was very straightforward with us and helped my husband stay involved. She continually reassured me and that was super helpful.

From our first consultation, it was clear that my doula at Seed-Doula was not only knowledgeable but also genuinely passionate about supporting families during such a pivotal time. She took the time to understand my birth plan and preferences, ensuring that I felt heard and respected.

- Rhonda N.

Kayla is amazing!! I used her for placenta encapsulation for my last two babies and couldn’t be happier! She has such a great personality and made us feel so comfortable and excited about the whole process. She was prompt with coming to pick up the placenta and had the pills back to us so quickly. I didn’t do placenta encapsulation with my first baby and I certainly noticed a difference when using them with my last two! 10/10 recommend!
