Anna came into my life a few weeks after my twins were born in 2021. I was a first time mom of preemie twins. One with a medical condition. She provided my family with safety, comfort and care. From folding all of our laundry to tending to the twins throughout the night so that I could get some rest. Bottle feeds, diaper changes, bedding changes, nightly snuggles. She did it all! She literally sat on the floor between their bassinets to help sleep train them. She did night shifts a few times a week for me. It gave me the support I needed to be able to get through those early days with twins. Anna, we will be forever grateful for your care and support.

Having Jennifer by my side during my pregnancy and birth was one of the best decisions I made. She provided constant encouragement, emotional support, and practical guidance that helped me feel calm and confident throughout labor. Her reassuring presence made such a difference, and she always respected my birth preferences while working alongside my healthcare team. I truly felt cared for every step of the way. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer to any expecting parent looking for a compassionate and supportive doula."

Hello birthing parents! My name is Linda May. I am an experienced doula ( over 12 years ), with a passion for helping clients who have experienced birth trauma. Congratulations on beginning your journey into motherhood! As a mother of four babies I remember what an exciting but also a little frightening time this is. I love being a doula because I can help women decrease their fear and turn it into empowerment. My background as a nurse helps me to understand the scientific evidence that shows having a doula as part of your birth decreases labour times and the need for interventions. It is wonderful that you’ve been able to reach out and find support. As Ina May Gaskin said, we are not lemons! I strongly resonate with her belief that we were created to birth, and it would be my honour to support you and help give you the birth that you are looking for, whatever that means for you. Sincerely, Linda May. Ps. Please bear with me with regards to my social media presence! I am in the process of updating everything including my website. Anything you wish to know please do not hesitate to contact me directly. (519)852-4064

I was so thankful for Linda’s support overall and especially leading up to labor. She was very emotionally and spiritually invested in supporting me as I prepared to deliver a third baby after a traumatic labor with my second. I loved having her support during labor, and I felt less lonely after my baby was born when they were checking him over. She stayed with me while everyone else was focused on the baby and that meant so much to me. She also stayed much longer than she needed to, to make sure she could offer support with breastfeeding. These were some of the many joys of having Linda involved, I would highly recommend her given her emotional and spiritual support, and physical support before, during and after labour. She was SO helpful, and was instrumental in redeeming my second labour with this third one. It was a beautiful and much more positive experience!

Emery Hopkins

Hello there! My name is Emery, and I am a full-spectrum doula based in London and the surrounding areas. I support individuals and families through pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond with steady, compassionate care. I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported during these transformative experiences. My role includes emotional reassurance, hands-on comfort, practical guidance, and evidence-based information so you can move through your journey with confidence. I work with all kinds of families and experiences—including multiples—offering care that is adaptable, inclusive, and centred around you. In my free time, I enjoy art, music, and film as much as I can. You can always find me cuddled up on the couch with a warm cup of tea and my Kindle. I am a person who is full of energy, so I often find myself going for walks with my pup and spending lots of time outdoors.

I’m incredibly proud to write this review for my daughter as she begins her journey as a doula. From the very start, she has approached this role with genuine passion, care, and dedication. Having completed her training and already supported her first birth, she has shown that she is more than ready to take on this important work. She is a deeply loving and supportive presence, someone who naturally puts others at ease. Her attentiveness and strong sense of responsibility ensure that nothing is overlooked—she is both detail-oriented and highly task-focused, which brings a sense of calm and confidence to those around her during such an important time. What stands out most is her ability to truly be present. She listens, she cares, and she shows up fully for the families she supports. I have no doubt that she will continue to grow and excel as a doula, making a meaningful difference in the lives of many. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate, reliable, and thoughtful support during their birth experience.

Mimi made THE difference between a potentially distressing and re-traumatizing birth experience, and a powerful memory I can look back on with pride and joy for the rest of my life. I personally had planned for a home birth but ended up needing to be in the hospital due to PROM. Mimi knew and cared about my birth plan and helped me achieve a birth that still felt as close as possible to the type of birth I was hoping to have. She also really honed in on the type of emotional and physical support that I needed in a very personalized way. My midwives were very impressed with her knowledge and presence, and literally told me to "recommend her to everyone" so that's what I am doing. Thank you Mimi!

I had a wonderful water birth at home in peace and quiet. Jerusha was an amazing help and she was so grounding in guiding me through the experience. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.
