Vee was literally God sent!! She helped me feel so prepared and comfortable leading up my delivery, during, and after! She gave me and my husband so much information and really prepped us well so that we could go into labor and delivery with confidence. Having her there by my side during those intense contractions made me feel so strong and confident. And for this being my first time, I am really glad I had her to coach and guide me. I truly couldn’t have done it without her. Thank you Vee so much for everything. You are amazing!!!! -Amber and Jamere 🥰

Thank you, Vee, for everything that you do - and for such patience and grace with new parents. With your love, support/guidance, I have positive experiences of the whole birth process and early days at home with a newborn. So grateful!!

Vee, There will never be enough words to express our gratitude towards you. As we've reflected on our journey to parenthood, we see clearly just how intentional the Lord was in bringing us together. We appreciate not only the work you do, but the woman you have shown yourself to be. We couldn't have asked for more in a doula and are honored to have the privilege of bring in your care. Thank you for every text, call, prayer, word of wisdom, advocacy, all the things! We can never thank you enough. May GOD continue to bless the work of your hands. May you lack no good thing and your cup always run over. May the Lord show you His faithfulness always, and may every day be a reminder of just how much he loves you. Love, Your sister, brother, and niecey!

Vee is amazing! She came to do my belly binding after I lost my baby, she is super knowledgeable and patient. The belly binding has helped A LOT with allowing my tummy to go back down. I would recommend every mommy to try the belly binding

My wife and I cannot begin to explain how valuable Vee has been to help us navigate this beautiful chapter in our lives, and in our marriage. Every step of the way, Vee has been attentive with us at the focal point of her energy, and using all available resources to keep us informed, and optimistic. With her help, she gave me confidence to help my wife through labor, and she gave my wife the strength to endure labor while also reducing the labor time down to less than 12 hours! My wife’s total time between labor and push time was approximately 12 hours and 8 minutes. Even in postpartum, she has been extremely helpful in answering all of our questions about our baby as she grows and adapts to the world every day! When issues or questions arose, she helped to answer and outsource additional help where needed to help get us the help that we required and always followed up to see the issue was resolved. Becoming parents seemed very daunting, but Vee has made this process significantly smoother than we could have ever imagined. If we ever decide to do it again, we know who we are calling to help us through this process.

We are so grateful that you helped us shape our early parenting experiences. We feel like you helped us lay the foundation for everything we've built on the last 8 months. M is now crawling everywhere, standing as much as possible, and eating foods!!!

Thanks for everything!!! The work you do is AMAZING and was a great reminder of all that I needed to pull out of myself. The power of God in you is visual in the birthing room. The oil revealed itself :-) So on your days when you're wondering your why remember us and what you did for our family. Keneatha & Omari
