Ro is amazing!! I am so thankful I found her, she helped me to achieve the natural birth I was hoping for! She was very understanding of my extra needs because my husband was deployed, and she was flexible with scheduling classes for when he got back to make sure he was prepared for the birth of our first child too. Prayer was a very important part of my birth plan, so I was very grateful to find a Doula that supported my Christian faith! From the first call, I felt like I could trust Ro. She instilled so much confidence about a process that obviously made me a little scared and nervous! I was so grateful to have her there to keep me calm and help me trust my body. She’s also just a great human and so fun, I can genuinely say I consider her a friend! We will also always cherish the beautiful photos she took during our birth. I can’t recommend Ro enough!

Having Monica as my doula was such a great experience. The most helpful part was having her talk me through the contractions. I felt especially supported when we came up with a plan to check me before getting an epidural. I felt more prepared knowing how many options I had before asking for one.I wanted to go natural, but I also wanted to go with the flow, and Monica did just that! She made sure my wishes were heard and respected while helping me understand my options. Something I didn't expect but really appreciated was when we brought out the TENS machine at the end!

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.
