We were so thrilled to have Chris join our birth team from the moment we spoke on the phone, and even moreso with each visit we had with her! I was so appreciative of the materials and classes she provided along with the expectation to complete them. It allowed me to fully inform myself with her guidance to be able to make the best decisions for myself, my baby, and our entire family. My favorite thing about working with Chris is that she has a set of standards that she believes in and shares them, but also tailors certain decisions to your situation. After having a very traumatic first birth without a doula, this second birth with a wonderful birth team lead by Chris was beyond perfect. All of my goals were achieved due to the commitment she helped me make to myself. As a fellow Christian, I felt even more supported in the spiritual sense as well during pregnancy and labor. Her availability and dedication to her clients is unmatched, she showed up for me during multiple false labors and finally the real one! Communicating with Chris was not only easy and clear, but also very loving and enjoyable. I just so happen to be her neighbor, and her kindness and commitment extends even being a past client! Truly a generous, caring, and lovely woman to know let alone work with! Our family is so grateful for everything you did pre and post labor, I would absolutely recommend.

My experience with doula Imani was beyond wonderful, from the very beginning to the very end of my pregnancy she was kind, caring, understanding and patient throughtout. Considering the fact that this was frist pregnancy, she always made herself available and approahcable about any concerns I may have had regarding issues such as labor, breastfeeding, and the way my body was changing. Due to COVID-19 most of our meetings had to be done via zoom during which she always showed up on time and would discuss various things such as doctor's appointments, birthing plans, and even her own birthing experiences which made me feel less uncomfortable about certain issues. I was in labor for 3 days and from my house to the time we went to the hospital she was by my side making sure everything with me and the baby was alright. Overall, choosing Imani to be my doula was probably the best decision I could have made during my pregrancy and I would definitely chose her again!

We were visiting family in Cleveland and used Brooke as our night time Doula for our 4 month old. She helped for 6 evenings and we are forever grateful. She was absolutely amazing. Our 4 month old was a premie and had some gas issues that resulted in very poor sleep. Brooke was so patient with her. She made sure that we were comfortable with her approach and even helped us brainstorm ideas to help our girl sleep better. She quickly learned our little ones needs and jumped right into helping her. She washed bottles and offered to fold laundry. Brooke had so much patience and was gentle with our girl. Best thing was, we got to sleep which was much needed while being out of our routine back home and having 2 other kids. 10/10 recommend Brooke!!

Danika was the most amazing midwife I could have ever asked for. She’s is so attentive and respectful, taking the time at each appointment to answer all our questions and concerns (as first time parents), never making us feel rushed or dismissed, and respecting our beliefs and wishes while also giving us all the information to help us make well informed decisions. She made us feel so comfortable and safe going through with an at home birth and was the most amazing support throughout my 22 hour labor. She was with us from the start of labor to provide support, routine checkups, positioning and location recommendations and was extremely knowledgeable throughout it all. Not to mention how she stayed for a long time after the birth for baby checkups and make sure we were settled. Her aftercare visits and ongoing support and communication following the birth were invaluable. I would recommend her to anyone doing an at home birth or who wants additional support and advocacy at the hospital.

We had the pleasure of working with CLE Baby for our third child, who is now seven months old and was struggling to sleep through the night. Our first two children were sleep trained by five months, so we thought we had things figured out—but our third truly threw us a curveball. Every time we put her down in the crib, she would cry, and we felt unsure of where to turn. Enter Lauren, who truly is a baby wizard and completely changed our lives. After months of sleepless nights, Lauren came in and, on the very first night, helped our baby sleep through the night—it felt nothing short of a miracle. She was incredibly thorough, knowledgeable, and supportive, helping us establish healthy sleep habits and a well-balanced schedule that ensured our baby was getting enough calories during the day, plenty of playtime, and restful sleep at night. Throughout her time with us, Lauren shared an incredible amount of knowledge and guidance. When she left (tears included on my part), she provided us with a detailed packet outlining everything accomplished in just four short days, including milestones, schedules, upcoming developmental leaps, travel guidance, and a comprehensive sleep log. I truly cannot say enough about how much Lauren and CLE Baby have changed our family’s life. For the first time, all three of our children are sleeping at once—which feels like a miracle in itself. If you are having any sleep challenges or want your little one to sleep through the night, I cannot recommend CLE Baby highly enough. What makes this experience even more special is that Lauren continues to check in and stays in touch. The relationship didn’t end after those four days, and it’s reassuring to know she’s still there for questions and support. This was exactly what we were looking for, and I’m so grateful we reached out when we did. CLE Baby was absolutely worth it in every way.

Review for Shelly As I approached the end of my pregnancy, I started to reconsider the free birth I had been planning and began to explore my options. I came across Shelly through Facebook, and we talked at length about what I had envisioned for this birth. Shelly asked very concise questions in order to acquaint herself with my expectations and to deliver a reasonable response to those expectations. She was thorough and honest. Ultimately we both decided that she would attend my birth and provide me with the hands off approach that I desired in my birth. As my due date came and passed, Shelly was speaking with me daily. She provided me with further reassurance that things were going smoothly. She not only answered my questions, but conferred with other midwives in the community so that she could be certain she was giving me all of the information she had available. Shelly and Staci arrived right on time for my birth, responding immediately to my husbands call. They entered my home peacefully and with the utmost reverence for the birthing space I had created. Their presence was non intrusive, and they waited patiently until my husband and I needed them in the room. Shelly allowed me to birth the way I intuitively desired, and asked to step in when she realized my baby girl wasn’t descending any further. She used her judgment in adjusting my position and assisting me with catching my baby. She provided all the necessary care after delivery, paid great attention to details in checking over my placenta and baby, and allowed my husband and I to get comfortable. Shelly followed up promptly and further provided comfort and care to myself and my newborn. She kindly went over the birth with me and we shared some of our passions and thoughts regarding the experience. Shelly was fantastic, adaptable, and humble. She is a great person, and a great midwife. I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get in touch with a midwife, and I truly hope she is able to leave her permanent mark in the birthing community.

Kadijah was very professional throughout my experience. Her personality made me feel very comfortable in trusting her. She was also very knowledgeable and thorough about the details that I needed to know. I definitely would recommend her!!

I can’t say enough positive things about Dorothy. She delivered my first son and assisted with my second son. Dorothy brought a calmness and a peace that only certain people can. I’m thankful for her knowledge of different positions to help with the baby’s position. I would recommend Dorothy to anyone who would love to have a calm successful birthing experience.

Hidaly is a fantastic doula. She is very empathetic and listens to every concern you may have. She is someone I would highly recommend adding to your birth team!

- Stephanie R.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Salina! Her warmth, expertise, and unwavering support completely transformed my pregnancy and postpartum experience. She helped me feel confident, empowered, and truly supported every step of the way—from preparing for the birth to navigating feeding and adjusting to life with a newborn. She has a true gift for listening, guiding, and making you feel like you can do this. If you want a doula who is compassionate, knowledgeable, and absolutely committed to supporting you every step of the way, Salina is the one!

Alicia is an incredible Doula! At my first few OB appointments I was unhappy with my experiences, and I felt a great mistrust with my OB doctors. As a first-time expectant mother, I knew I needed an advocate who would bridge the gap between a traditional hospital birth and having an empowering spiritual birthing experience. After first meeting Alicia I felt so empowered! I knew birth does not always go according to plan, but I knew she was going to do everything to help me achieve the birthing experience I wanted. I was so impressed by how much she educated both me and my husband. When I was in labor all this education really helped. As I was laboring at home I hit a wall, and Alicia came over at 3am and helped to keep me mentally strong and progressing through labor. Even though it was the middle of the night she showed up with energy and encouragement. At the hospital she advocated for me to be on wireless monitoring and to use a squat bar and stability ball. When it came time to push, she supported me in remaining side-lying when the OB wanted me to flip to my back. Alicia used her knowledge throughout my labor to suggest laboring positions and provide pain easing techniques to help me have the unmedicated birth I wanted. Without her help, I know having this birthing experience would not have been possible. She kept the spiritual part in our birth and prayed with us throughout our labor. Because of Alicia, the birth of our daughter brought me and my husband closer, and I love the way he beams with pride when he tells people about our daughter’s birth. This is truly Alicia’s calling in life, and having her as a doula was truly a blessing. Brittany S

I had Kailyn as my birth Doula and I chose the Gold package. I just gave birth on jan 20th and kailyn was with me the whole time I labored till the birth of my baby. She helped me achieve my birth plan which was to give birth natural with no pain medication. She went above and beyond to give me the best care ever. I felt very confident having her by my side during birth and this is an experience that I will always cherish. She was ther for me prenatally and answered all the questions that I had about pregnancy and birth. I am looking forward to working with her postpartum. If you need a birth Doula, you won't regret having her as your birth Doula.

Daneè is amazing. I couldn't imagine going through this journey without her. The knowledge and support she provided both my partner and I was invaluable and we'll be forever grateful. This was our first healthy pregnancy so our anxieties were understandably high. Not only did she hold space for us emotionally but she took her time to make sure we understood what to expect throughout the journey; the questions to ask and the options available to us. She's equal parts soothing and empowering and I couldn't recommend her more.

Jess was our night doula for our third baby. We didn’t have a night doula for our first two babies so we weren’t entirely sure what to expect. Jess is kind, knowledgeable, loving, and so supportive. She helped me navigate my feeding journey and our daughter’s milk/soy allergy. She communicates with you the nights she’s coming to check in on how you and your baby are doing and provides help and guidance if you need on feeding, sleep, etc. I had postpartum depression with my first two kids and didn’t with my third, and I owe that all to Jess. I was able to sleep more and feel emotionally supported. She also loved our daughter and was very nurturing. I highly recommend her!

Jessica is an absolute gift. She walked with me from prenatal to delivery and I am forever grateful for that. Jessica communicated quickly and thoughtfully when I needed her virtually, offering advice and encouragement when I needed it most. When she arrived during labor, she became everything I needed. She was able to read the room and mood to know if I needed encouragement or options or if I just needed to vent or cry. The way she carries herself with her knowledge, the nurses and providers also respected her which created the most joyous environment for birth. I wasn’t able to see her during delivery but I could hear her words of encouragement ringing through the room. One of my other supporter persons told me Jessica jumped for joy when my daughter was born. That’s who she is- someone who knows birth, loves moms, loves birth and will literally jump for joy with you!

Tiffany was my doula for my second pregnancy. She attended a few prenatals and was available via phone and text for any concerns I had. When I went past my due date she came over to exercise with me. She hosted a nesting party and provided herbs for pregnancy and postpartum support. During the birth she used her skills and knowledge to assist me through labor. She was a source of great support and affirmations throughout labor. She goes above and beyond for her clients and I am so lucky to have had her as my doula!

- Erica P.

Cayla was amazing! As a first time mom she gave me the confidence and the information I needed to be comfortable enough to advocate for myself. I don’t think I could have labored at home for as long as I did without her positions and guides. Thanks to her guidance, patience, positive spirit, healing energy I was able to bring in my beautiful boy! Thank you Cayla!💕
