Here is what a client named Clara has to say about working with Marcia :

So happy we choose Marcia again for our second birth! She took time to get to know our toddler and gave us recommendations for a sitter for her since we don't have any family in town. Marcia arrived right after I got in the tub and gave me all the encouragement I needed. During transition I wanted to stay in the tub so bad and not change positions but my birth team all encouraged me to sit on the toilet which was where my water broke and then baby arrived only a few minutes after getting back in the tub. She helped me control my breathing and encouraged me to take a few breaks between pushing. She took some amazing pictures that I will cherish forever. Before she left she warmed up some food for me and assisted with breastfeeding too. Her postpartum services were wonderful as well. I loved being able to text her whenever I had a random question and it was so great to see her again a week later and chat once a week on the phone. We've had some breastfeeding struggles and Marcia always listed and gave me some great advice, encouragement and helpful recommendations for people to see like a lactation consultant and chiropractor! We have been so blessed with all her help!!

Here is what a client named Talon Sauder has to say about working with Charity:

We hired Charity to help us with the birth of our first child and it was one of the best decisions we made! We were very nervous and anxious about the entire experience which meant we needed a knowledgeable and steady influence to walk this journey with us. Charity was the perfect person for this role! Her meetings with us pre birth really helped answer questions and calm our nerves. My wife’s water broke about 34 hours before our son was born and at that point she was not having contractions or showing any signs of labor starting. We really wanted to avoid an induction and Charity was very helpful and supportive of that decision and helped my wife with exercises, positions etc to try and get labor going. About 20 hours later labor had finally kicked in and she was able to deliver naturally without induction or an epidural. I really believe without Charity's help we would have ended up with a totally different experience than we desired. Would strongly recommend having her help with any birth and especially if you’re worried or nervous!

Here is what a client named Tatiana Koontz has to say about working with Jelina:

As a homebirth midwife, I've witnessed Jelina at a birth first hand as a doula and photographer. She supports families in whatever kind of birth they would like to have in any setting. She is genuine, kind, and has a wonderful sense of humor. She sets herself apart through her committment to being the best at what she does by taking every training and educational opportunity she finds both for birth and photography. She's shows up for families in ways others don't - she willing volunteers to support families birthing at local hospitals that other doulas refuse to go to. You definitely want Jelina on your birth team!
