honestly don’t even know where to begin because words cannot express how grateful I am for Peaceful Passages Birthing Support Center. As a first-time mom, I was excited about having my baby, but I was also terrified of labor and delivery. I had so many questions, fears, and moments when I doubted myself. From our very first conversation, I knew I had found the right team. My doula was absolutely AMAZING! She was patient, compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about me and my baby. I never felt like just another client. She checked on me throughout my pregnancy, answered my endless questions, and helped me feel prepared for something I had never experienced before. But it was during my labor that I truly realized how blessed I was to have her. There were moments when I felt like I couldn’t do it anymore. She never left my side. She held my hand, helped me breathe through contractions, applied counterpressure, encouraged me, and reminded me how strong I was. When things became overwhelming, she was my calm in the middle of everything. She was also incredible with my husband. She guided him on how to support me and made sure he felt included in the entire experience. What really stood out was how knowledgeable and professional she was with the nurses and doctors. She helped me understand my options, encouraged me to ask questions, and made sure I felt heard without ever making me feel pressured. After my baby arrived, the support didn’t just stop. She continued checking on us and making sure I was doing okay physically and emotionally. I genuinely believe my birth experience would have been completely different without Peaceful Passages. This wasn’t just a doula showing up to do a job. This was someone who genuinely cared about me, my baby, and my entire birth experience. If you’re pregnant and wondering whether hiring a doula is worth it, PLEASE do yourself a favor and contact Peaceful Passages Birthing Support Center. I would choose them a thousand times over. They gave me something I will cherish forever: a birth experience where I felt safe, supported, empowered, and never alone.

I wish I found Kayla weeks ago when I was freshly postpartum. Having her help and guidance was so helpful. Not only to have her physical help but also just having someone to talk to. She helped with my newborn and my toddler and gave me space to get things in order at home. As a bit of a control freak I struggle asking and receiving help but I immediately felt comfortable with Kayla to watch my babies while I showered, cleaned and just giving my arms a break.

Jessica truly has the heart of a doula. Despite having trouble figuring out my insurance coverage, she was very accommodating and helpful as I contacted her fairly close to my due date. My labor got complicated and when my husband wasn't able to be there Jessica was there to support me. She advised me on what to ask the doctors so I could feel confident in my decisions and I felt she genuinely had my best interest in mind. Thank you Jessica for being present in one of the most challenging moments in my life. 🫶🏼
