I never thought I’d have a need for a doula nor did I know much of what one did until my sister-in-law suggested it to me. I am forever grateful that she did and that I was able to have Krista as my doula. She made my birth experience so much better in every way possible. She answered my questions, kept me comfortable and advocated for me to my medical team. Not only that but she was able to help ease my husband and guide him as this was our first time becoming parents! There was so much I didn’t realize I didn’t know until actually giving birth. Krista is so down to earth and I didn’t feel awkward or uncomfortable with her the entire time. She will support you in every aspect and won’t judge any decisions you make about your pregnancy and birth - because this experience should be just that, exactly what you and your body want and need. I would recommend Krista to any and everybody, love her so much!

I am delighted to recommend Grace Kovitch as a postpartum doula. Her sweet nature, care and compassion, and knowledge of newborns made her truly invaluable to our family throughout our daughter’s first four months. Her presence allowed our family to rest, recover, and truly enjoy the precious moments with our newborn. From the moment she stepped into our home, Grace provided a calming presence and a great knowledge about newborn care. She not only assisted with practical needs—such as soothing techniques, infant care, and light household tasks—but also provided the emotional support and reassurance that every new parent needs. Her warm and nurturing nature made all the difference during such a transformative time. (We knew she was the perfect fit for our family when our doberman wouldn’t leave her side! He now waits for her every night!) Additionally, her punctuality and reliability show the level of care she possesses for her clients. I wholeheartedly recommend Grace to any family in need of postpartum support. She is an incredible resource, and any family would be beyond lucky to have her by their side during the postpartum journey.

I had the pleasure of working with Xiomara for prenatal, birth, and postpartum support, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate about her work, and truly attentive to the needs of her clients. From the very beginning, she was professional and supportive, helping me create a birth plan that reflected my wishes and values. During labor, she was a strong advocate for me and played a key role in making the experience smooth and empowering. Thanks to her support, I was able to have an unmedicated birth, which was a significantly better experience compared to my first. Her care didn’t stop at birth—she continued to check in during the postpartum period and even recommended excellent services, like a lymphatic drainage massage, that really helped with recovery. She’s very well-connected and a great resource all around. If you’re looking for a dedicated and compassionate doula, Xio is absolutely the one to call.

Five stars is not enough for Maria and her team. Having doula be part of my team for the birth of my third child was an absolute game changer. I was determined to VBA2C and it happened! Maria and Kimberly were a huge part of making that happen. Maria was my primary doula and her support and knowledge throughout my pregnancy and birth was amazing and incredibly helpful. It makes a huge difference to have a medical team that is supportive of your goals and to have multiple people on your team outside of the hospital. And I don't think I would have been able VBAC if it wasn't for Maria

Ashley is an incredible doula. From our very first interaction, she was personable, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable and supported. She has such a calming presence and explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand, which helped ease so many of my worries. Ashley truly listens, meets you where you are, and makes you feel confident in your choices. I’m so grateful to have had her support and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who genuinely cares.

She was absolute perfection as Doula to my daughter. She was knowledgeable, encouraging, calm and most of all compassionate. If you are considering her services, I can assure you that you won’t be disappointed.

I hired Nia Nchami as a doula for the birth of my second daughter in 2022. After an initial conversation via email, she came to our house and really listened to my concerns, fears and hopes for my delivery. She took extensive notes and created a birth plan that truly encapsulated what I wanted for the birth. We stayed in contact for several months and talked more frequently as my due day neared. When the day came, she was a force of nature. She kept me calm and confident. She helped me to navigate the birthing process. But most importantly, advocated for me with my doctors, nurses and healthcare staff to ensure that I received the best care. I can truly say that I had a much better experience giving birth than the first time and Nia was a big reason why. She is extremely professional, but also calm and caring. I’m so glad that I found her!

Working with Amanda was a wonderful experience. She is kind, thoughtful, patient, and attentive, and she provides excellent care. We're grateful to have had her support!

Valerie is amazing! I was interested in having a doula for my pregnancy after feeling alone and unprepared at my last birth. Valerie provided valuable information during my pregnancy and was caring and responsive in the weeks leading up to my due date. Valerie was a huge comfort to my husband and I during labor as i transitioned quickly and had my son within 10 minutes of arriving at the hospital. We would’ve been much more scared if we didn’t have her with us during the drive to the hospital. Valerie helped give me the confidence to labor at home for the majority of my birth experience.

“Kayla is amazing”! She was my postpartum doula for several weeks. She has a wealth of knowledge in postpartum care and made me very empowered. Her program really helped me to attain the mindset I needed for getting through those days where I felt the most overwhelmed. She worked with me in creating affirmation post its that she later reminded me of when I needed them most. She was the sweetest to not only my baby boy but also to my 9y/o daughter who loves to converse about all things gymnastics and baking. She gave me time and company when needed. She met my needs by being intentional about the details of what I needed during her visits. My baby actually fell asleep with Kayla during one of her visits, which he doesn’t do with everyone. Kayla is very easy to talk to. Like a friend just over for sweets and good convos. She is very assertive when it comes to ensuring mom and baby’s needs are met. As she also reminded me that postpartum isn’t just black and white. My postpartum journey can be whatever I want it to be and she wanted to help me achieve my goals. Something as silly as me really wanting to organize my gym or take a walk, or even just doing nothing but caring for me and my kids. She encouraged me and never imposed what general “postpartum” should look like. It was tailored and personalized to me. Thank you Kayla for the reminder that postpartum isn’t a one size fits all. I’m thankful for my DOULA!

I can’t recommend Amanda enough as a doula. She is one of the most intentional and emotionally intelligent people I know, always deeply connected to those around her. Her ability to connect with people in different settings and build lasting, supportive relationships is remarkable. She balances warmth and kindness with professionalism and can be direct when it matters most, ensuring everyone feels heard and understood. Her passion for birth is undeniable, and her open-minded approach creates a space where you never feel judged, no matter what choices you make. She’s incredibly dependable, emotionally present, and will go above and beyond to meet your needs. As a mother herself, Amanda has worked hard to create beautiful, empowering birth experiences, which speaks to her deep understanding and respect for the process. I truly believe anyone who works with her will be in the most capable, compassionate hands.

I had the pleasure of working with Shannon in the fall of 2023 until the delivery of my first child in January 2024. As a first time mother, it was so helpful having Shannon guide me through what to expect during all stages of labor, delivery and the 4th trimester. Shannon is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and kind. Her calming nature really came in handy in the delivery room! With Shannon’s knowledge and support, me and my husband had the tools to advocate for ourselves during the prenatal appointments and in the delivery room. Overall I had a really positive birthing experience and I believe that Shannon’s presence and support contributed to that. I would not hesitate to recommend Shannon’s services to any person seeking support on their birthing journey.

Gabi is incredibly knowledgable in all things Doula, pregnancy, pre and postpartum, as well as being kind, empathetic and welcoming. She listens to all concerns and preferences that you might have and advises the best way to move forward. I am based in the UK and Gabi has gone out of her way to still schedule in sessions with me and my partner, around our shift pattern too. I wouldn’t have anyone else helping me navigate this next chapter in my life and I’m always grateful I found her. I would definitely recommend!

Rasheada Wallace has been an absolute blessing to my family and me during the birth and early postpartum period of our newborn. From the moment we began working together, Rasheada Wallace exceeded our expectations in every way, offering not just professional support, but genuine care and compassion. Rasheada Wallace demonstrated a deep knowledge of birth and postpartum practices, and I felt completely confident in her expertise. Her calm presence and thoughtful guidance helped us navigate every challenge with grace, whether it was providing emotional support during labor or offering practical advice for newborn care. She always took the time to listen to our concerns, answer our questions, and tailor her approach to meet our unique needs. What truly set Rasheada apart was her unwavering dedication to ensuring our well-being as new parents. Her support didn’t end at birth—she continued to check in, offering advice on breastfeeding, infant sleep, and self-care for me as I recovered. Her encouragement and reassurances were invaluable, and her hands-on assistance with our newborn allowed us to adjust to our new role with much more confidence and peace of mind.

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.
