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.

Despite a late transfer to her doula care, Valerie did a great job getting to know us and what was important for Mom during the birth. She did a great job assisting with the unmedicated portion of labor and advocating for Mom when she needed it. Would pick her again as a doula if we were having more kids.

Valerie provided excellent care for our family through two pregnancies! She helped us navigate the twists and turns of delivery during the pandemic in 2020. Her virtual support during delivery was outstanding! My husband says it was really nice to have another ear taking in all the info and options to help us make sense of things since there is so much going on during delivery! Valerie also provided postpartum support in our home. Mama got pampered, big brother got lots of love and attention, and baby received loving care as well. Our whole family benefited from Val's knowledge and support, and we will always be so grateful for the way she supported our health and well-being through the transition of welcoming a new member to the family.
