I’m so grateful for the support and guidance I received throughout my birth experience. She helped me feel prepared and confident going into my C-section, and her post-birth advice was incredibly helpful. Her knowledge, reassurance, and genuine care made such a difference during such an important time. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and supportive doula!

Parris was my birth doula for my first and only birth so far and I have no reservations recommending her. From the initial consult to prenatal visits to the actual labor and delivery and post partum visit, Parris was attentive, courteous, and patient. Her actions in my delivery room avoided a c-section and her plethora of experience means that she has techniques for anything that might go wrong during your birth. I would go with her again if I have a second baby!

My wife and I welcomed our first son, Thomas, on June 29, and we genuinely cannot imagine going through this experience without our incredible doula. Labor began around 10:30 PM on June 28, and from the very beginning she was there for us. She came to our home around 1:00 AM and immediately brought a sense of calm, confidence, and reassurance during what could have been a very overwhelming time. Her presence helped my wife stay focused, comfortable, and emotionally grounded as labor intensified. We headed to the hospital around 3:30 AM, and she remained by our side every step of the way. Through the long hours of labor, she provided continuous support, encouragement, comfort measures, and guidance that were absolutely invaluable. Our son Thomas was born just after noon, and even after delivery, her support did not end there. She stayed with us until we were settled into our postpartum room around 3:00 PM, making sure we felt comfortable, supported, and cared for during those first precious hours as a new family. Looking back, one of the best decisions we made was hiring Kaitlyn as our doula. She played such an important role in helping us welcome Thomas into the world. She is truly exceptional.

Shelley is hands down the most supportive, knowledgable, and downright comforting postpartum doula I know! Shelley has over 25 years of birth experience under her belt and gosh does it show! I cannot think of a better person to support families from conception-postpartum. My husband and I took Shelley's childbirth and breastfeeding courses while we were expecting and we left feeling so calm and confident; armed with evidence-based knowledge about all of our birth options and what to expect from different kinds of births. Additionally we had the honor of having Shelley's support postpartum and I cannot imagine navigating those first few foggy months without her. She answered every question without judgement and helped us trouble shooting solutions all the while providing validation and encouragement. Shelley is the the Mother In Law you wish you had, the ultimate doula you want in your corner, and the most hilarious and calming. All in all, Shelley is the best and we 10/10 recommend her!!

I am delighted to write a reference for Shelby! She's a doula who's genuine passion for supporting and empowering others during the transformative experience of childbirth and the very special postpartum time, has impressed me immensely. Shelby goes above and beyond to ensure that families feel comfortable, supported, and confident in their new roles. She actively listens to the needs of parents, offering guidance, encouragement, and practical assistance. As a new mother herself, she has a deep understanding of the physical and emotional challenges that come with welcoming a new addition to the family and excels in providing the necessary support. Her genuine empathy, coupled with a genuine interest in the well-being of others, makes her a standout candidate for anyone seeking a supportive doula!

As a first-time mom with a newborn waking every 2–3 hours, I was completely exhausted—until Jasmine came into our lives. She was calm, professional, and incredibly nurturing. Thanks to her overnight care, I was finally able to get some real rest knowing my baby was in the best hands. She also offered so much helpful guidance and support without judgment. Jasmine was incredibly attentive, respectful of our routines and preferences, and always kept us informed of how the night went. We cannot recommend her enough to any parents looking for expert support and compassionate care during such a vulnerable and beautiful time.

I met Kyndall by chance while shopping at an organic wellness shop and within a few moments into our conversation, I knew that when my husband and I decided to start having kids, she would be my doula. As soon-to-be first-time parents, we had a lot of questions, concerns, and even some fear surrounding the birthing process, but Kyndall’s calm presence, words of affirmation, deep knowledge and understanding, helped put us at ease. During my laboring process, Kyndall’s unwavering support and reassurance guided me throughout one of the most intense moments I ever experienced. Thanks to Kyndall, I felt heard, seen, confident, and empowered to deliver our baby girl into the world. From providing me with yoga poses and breathing exercises to help me with my labor and delivery, to countless check-ins to see how the new parents were doing postpartum, Kyndall has been and continues to be a light in our lives- four years and two beautiful babies later! Kyndall is the best doula with a heart of gold and we are endlessly grateful for her support and genuine care.

Kate knows so much about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum care, and her passion for helping others really stands out. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and supportive doula to guide them through their journey.

My name is Miriam and I first met Hope in our Intro to Social Work class
in Spring of 2010. Just from what she shared in class and with me, and 
how she lived her life, the things she was passionate about, and the 
people she spoke up for, I sensed that I could trust her. I am now a
 Licensed Clinical Social Worker and confidently affirm that Hope is a 
huge asset to any support team because her heart and soul are all in
 no matter what she does. She believes in people and calls out their
 strengths even when they can’t see it. Hope offered to be part of my birth team with my first daughter and I 
happily said yes! I was in early labor for 3 days and was scheduled to
be induced on a Saturday (January 12, 2018). I came to the hospital
 that day in fear of what induction could mean. Would things just
snowball? Would I need to end up having a C-section?
Contractions/early labor hard started Wednesday and Hope helped
 me get through those hard 3 days before my baby arrived.
Contractions would get worse at night, and became so unbearable 
that I could not sleep. I was going on 3 days of little to no sleep and
Hope would stay up with me, coach me through contractions, coach 
me on what to do - get on the ball, take a warm bath, breathe. During the hardest time for me mentally she was there coaching me
 through it. On the day of delivery my water was supposed to be
broken, but it broke on its own as I was getting on the bed for my OB to
 do it. I labored all day and Pitocin was introduced later in the evening
 when I was not advancing. I was tired and we said yes. At this point I
 had been laboring for 4 days and I wanted her to come. Hope knew
 what to do. She helped create a calm atmosphere in our room. We
 had calming essential oils going, music that meant something to me,
 she was there coaching me through breaths, applying pressure on my
back that was the best relief I could ask for with back labor, rubbed my
 arms through the contractions and at times sensed what I needed 
without me having to ask mid contraction. At one point I started trembling when lying on the bed with a peanut
ball between my legs. Hope stayed close and spoke calmly to me. It
helped me stay calm and focus on contractions even though my body
 was shaking uncontrollably. My baby arrived later on, but Hope stayed
 through all of it. She was the support person I needed in that room.
When our baby came out she even snapped photos which I treasure
 dearly. Hope went above and beyond to make me feel at peace and
 empowered to have my baby on my own terms. Our second daughter Camila was born during the pandemic (August
22, 2020). Hope had volunteered her time to be there again with my
 second baby as the faithful friend she is. Then COVID restrictions came
 and we could have no one in our room. My mind was feeling
overwhelmed. The day I knew she was coming because my
 contractions started feeling painful while nursing my toddler. I was
 getting aggravated just nursing her and knew something was going to
 happen today. We went to the hospital with the intention of staying 
there and having the baby. I was not going to do multiple days of labor
 again. Camila came that day 6 hours after I went to the hospital. During those 6 hours and before, Hope had given us her care package
 with affirmations, her birth ball and all the necessities that helped me
 last time. I birthed with my husband and he was the best support 
person, but it didn’t feel the same this time. I didn’t have my mom. I
didn’t have Hope. Hope added such a calming and supportive
 presence the previous time. She advocated for what I needed and I
 was missing that. She anticipated what I needed and it was a relief to
 not have to think and ask for those things during contractions. This time
 it was different. Hope couldn’t be in the room and I was feeling that. Contractions felt
 harder. I felt tense. I felt like I couldn’t concentrate. I had this mental
block because my other support people I felt I really needed weren’t
 here. I would tense my body and anticipate each contraction with fear.
Previously I was in my zone because I knew all my people had my back. I
 needed all of them and not having them physically there made me feel
 less than peaceful. Towards the end I had my husband Richard call Hope and she talked
 me through contractions and lifted my spirit. She gave me a pep talk
 and I don’t know what she said, but it helped me get in the mindset to
 have this baby. I went from fear to determination after talking to Hope.
Our baby was born less than an hour later, and I give so much credit to
Hope for mentally helping me through a really hard experience. Although my labor was way shorter, it felt more painful and my mindset
 made all the difference. While I was stuck in fear it felt more painful. After
 talking to Hope, I knew what I needed to do and something shifted. I will
forever be grateful for her and the peace she brings to a delivery room
 in person and virtually. My girls are here and we’re all healthy, and
 Hope had lots to do with that. Miriam Hernandez, LCSW Licensed Clinical Social Worker

During the time, Ayanna was my doula, I was very thankful for her. She is very knowledgeable in her practice, and keeps a professional composure. She is trust worthy, and was a huge help during my last trimester (when I met Ayanna). I am grateful for her during pre-labor, during labor, and postpartum. I still buy her yoni herbs, which I enjoy. It really helps with soreness and inflammation, which is due to coitus. I love that she provides brochures full of information about each product she promotes. I trust her products, as they are holistic and natural. She does not compromise her ethics, nor her core values.

Dominique was amazing as my doula fir our first baby! She was extremely informative and open to talk about any and every question I had. My favorite part about her services were the prenatal stretches and birth plan review just to ensure I was in co stroller and aware of my options. Amazing bedside manners, support and knowledge. All around amazing!!

We loved having Carolann as a part of our birth team! Through days of prodromal labor and a successful Vbac delivery, she was there to support, encourage, and answer all of my questions. My baby was stuck in my right hip and Carolann immediately came over and led me and my husband through different moves to encourage baby into alignment. Arriving to the hospital she advocated for my needs and preferences when I could barely talk for myself. She stayed by my side the entire labor and delivery, and I am so thankful for her consistent presence during that time. Postpartum, she was available for any questions I had, checked in on us to make sure we were doing well, and helped me recount my birth experience from her point of view to fill in details I had missed. After previous birth trauma with my first, Carolann helped my second birth be the amazing experience that all births should be!

Reyna was honestly such a huge help for our family, especially in those first few weeks. She supported me with breastfeeding in a way that felt patient and encouraging, never pushy or overwhelming. Whenever I was struggling or unsure, she took the time to walk me through things and made me feel a lot more confident. Her night nanny support was a lifesaver too. Being able to rest knowing our baby was in such caring and capable hands made a world of difference. She handled everything so calmly and gently, and I always felt at ease. What really makes Reyna stand out is how real and caring she is. She shows up with so much warmth and genuinely wants to help. It never felt like just hiring someone—it felt like having someone in our corner. Shr was always there to pick up the phone or answer a text. I’d absolutely recommend her to any family needing extra support.

Angelique is amazing. The amount of support during my postpartum journey has been phenomenal! The prayers, the amount of phone calls I’ve made constantly since my daughter is my first child and all of the information given has made me at ease in my mind and heart. She is super knowledgeable on ALL things baby and postpartum. She made time to come visit me in person as well to make sure my wellbeing was in good shape! Thank you for everything!

- Tria H.

Emily is such a caring & loving soul! Was so nice & what a great experience having someone there that gave so much extra support during pregnancy, delivery (it was a fast roller coaster!) and she was there fast when it was baby time. Postpartum she even came over for a coffee postpartum checkup ✨️💖 we still stay connected with each other. Highly recommend Emily for a birth doula!
