Melanie Guymon is a superb doula. She spent nights with our little bub for 2+months, she gave us a reprieve and support during the difficult newborn days hard. We had a colicky baby and Melanie not only helped us advocate to our doctors that our baby might have reflux, but she also gave us superb tips on how to help ease her discomfort at night and during the day.  During her time with us Melanie also helped us prepare our baby to move out of the swaddle, and due to her tips, our baby seamlessly transitioned from her Snoo + bassinet and into her crib and a sleep sack. She continued to support us with sleep coaching as well, helping us with our babies sleep schedule, which has allowed our baby to sleep better than all of our other baby friends in a similar age range. We had Melanie start with us around the 6 week mark due to our postpartum schedule, and she was with us until just under 4 months. We could not have done this journey without her.

Katherine is an amazing postpartum doula. She is very attentive and dedicated to making sure you rest and relax first and foremost. She helped me take seriously the strictness of staying in bed for the first month postpartum and making sure I wasn't doing too much. Every time she came I was sure to be provided with great food, a break from my beautiful baby and some rest and relaxation for my body whether it was in the form of belly binding, massage or a foot scrub. She was also very knowledgeable about pumping and bottle feeding which I needed since I hadn't done any of that for my first child. I am extremely grateful that I had her as my postpartum doula!

We had a great experience working with Tori as our doula! My wife also had a positive experience with her as a prenatal massage therapist. Tori has a great touch with people and helped us navigate many difficult decisions and situations during my wife’s first pregnancy. Her knowledge and calm demeanor helped us to navigate complications and feel better during this uncertain time. She was also flexible and supportive as our needs changed during the pregnancy. We would definitely recommend Tori to anyone who is looking for a doula.

McKenna had very practical ways to cope with pain during labor and I really appreciated her soothing presence both before and during labor. Thank you for all that you do, McKenna!

We loved having Marlo’s help with our second baby! The thought of a postpartum night doula seemed kind of extravagant at first, but I’m so glad that we decided to get some extra help this time around. I was originally nervous about handing our new baby over to a stranger, but once we met Marlo, my husband and I had no problem making the decision. Marlo is easy to talk to, kind, and professional. She also clearly loves babies and has a warm personality. As a bonus, she loves animals and had no issue with our two somewhat obnoxious French bulldogs. The months leading up to my birth, Marlo kept in touch and asked how things were going. I feel like this helped establish a relationship and by the time our new baby arrived she didn’t seem like a stranger. It only took a night or two for us to establish a routine and things went smoothly right away. It was so nice to just nurse the baby every few hours and go right back to sleep while she was here. Marlo did the burping, rocking, swaddling, etc. She also kept a log of all of our baby’s diaper changes, sleep time, and any other information we might need. We were fortunate enough to have Marlo’s help for about 8 weeks and we will definitely hire her again when we have another baby! We miss her already. :)

We can't say enough wonderful things about Jaya! She was a wonderful addition to our birth team and made both pregnancy and labor a comfortable and safe experience. Throughout pregnancy, Jaya was a great communicator. She was always willing to answer our questions and checked in on us as we got closer to the end of our pregnancy. When we met in person to discuss our vision for labor and delivery, she shared an immense amount of information with us and helped us craft a birth plan. She was respectful of all of our wishes and helped us to feel informed and prepared. We were unexpectedly induced before the end our pregnancy. When we found this out, Jaya immediately called us to talk things through. She was kind and gentle and made sure we had the information we needed. When she joined us in the hospital during labor, she brought with her a balance of both calmness and positivity. As labor progressed and we had to make decisions about care, she again made sure we had the right knowledge to make informed decisions. She supported both me and my partner as we navigated the challenges of labor, and helped to bring both joy and serenity into the room. Overall, Jaya was incredibly supportive, kind, and knowledgeable. She made us feel safe, listened to, and empowered. We would highly recommend her for birth doula services, and are very grateful for her support and wisdom.

My wife is currently soaking up every moment with our newborn so I wanted to take a moment to share our experience. Working with Dana was the best investment we made for our birth journey. After a long and difficult road to conceive, this pregnancy was incredibly precious to us and we were naturally anxious about the delivery. Dana was a wealth of knowledge from day one. When labor got complicated and it felt like we were headed toward an unplanned C-section, she remained our calm in the storm. Her expertise in positioning and her ability to help us navigate the hospital’s suggestions were game changers. Thanks to her guidance and advocacy, we were able to avoid a C-section and have the vaginal birth we so deeply desired. She was respectful of the medical staff while ensuring our voices were heard. She didn't just support my wife physically, she empowered us to make informed decisions. We are forever grateful to have had her by our side and I cannot recommend Dana highly enough. As a husband, I was incredibly protective and anxious about my wife's safety. During a very intense point in labor, seeing her in so much pain was unbearable for me. I was actually the one who suggested a C-section just because I wanted her suffering to end. However, Dana remained our calm and steady guide. She didn’t dismiss my fears, but she knew exactly how to support my wife through that 'wall.' With her expert coaching on positioning and breathing, she helped my wife find the strength to keep going. Thanks to her, my wife was able to have the natural birth she so deeply wanted, completely intervention-free and, amazingly, without a single tear! Seeing my wife so proud of herself and empowered by her own strength was life changing. Dana didn't just support the birth, she supported our whole family. If you're a husband who is on the fence about hiring a doula, do it. It was the best decision we ever made.

absolutely amazing experience. having Sage(and tec) as my supports meant the world to me. I felt safe and supported, they helped me hold my boundaries with hospital staff, they helped me have the birth I wanted to have with my firstborn. it was a very healing process, and I feel so blessed to have had both of them in my journey. had I not had their support, my birth would have ended up very dramatically different, and there is a possibility I would have decided against another pregnancy. I definitely plan on using their services for another pregnancy and postpartum

Eunice is supporting us as a night doula for our newborn, and she has been incredible from the very beginning. In those first couple of weeks, she not only cared for our daughter but also helped us fine-tune feeding amounts, adjust timing, and better understand our baby’s cues. Her guidance made such a difference. Our nights are now much more restful, and our daughter (now two months old) is sleeping more consistently and becoming more independent. Eunice is dependable, communicative, attentive, and truly attuned to our baby’s needs. Our little one is always happy to see her and continues to sleep more regularly through the night. We truly would not have enjoyed this newborn stage as much without her. We’re so grateful for everything she’s done for our family.

Carrin was made for this role. A friend recommended her after receiving such great care and I’m so glad I followed up on the recommendation. She is kind, professional, and compassionate and made such a positive impact on our pregnancy, labor, and newborn stage.
