Here is what a client named Sarah S. has to say about working with Mirai:

Mirai was exactly what I had hoped for in a doula. She was able to prepare my husband and I leading up to the birth by sharing information in ways that spoke to our differing learning styles so that we were ready for all possibilities. I was super thankful for this preparation because my birth turned out the opposite of what I had originally planned due to health issues. Despite those changes, Mirai was there through it all. A calm voice in the chaos, and a strong hand to hold. The birth was a whirlwind but some of my most vivid memories are Mirai being that steady presence, calming me and guiding me through it all. Everyone came out of the birth healthy, and I believe Mirai is one of the main reasons that we did so.

Here is what a client named Carly B. has to say about working with Lenore:

Lenore was a godsend for the birth of my first baby. My husband and I had interviewed other doulas but didn’t feel a connection with anyone until we met Lenore. We were fortunate that she was able to take us on as clients because we found her late (started working with her in January for our Feb 8 due date). 

Despite some scary moments during my labor, I had an extremely positive birth experience - and that’s in large part due to Lenore’s care and support throughout. 


Lenore

- Met with us on an accelerated schedule (since we contacted her late) to help us prepare for the birth. 

- Despite being sick, was there for my baby’s birth (she offered to contact a back up doula, but we really wanted to her there so she wore a mask)
- Coached me through very painful contractions during a 3-hour wait for an epidural
- Kept me informed and calm when the doctors had to stop my contractions due to decelerations in my baby’s heart rate 
- Used her doula magic to get my baby flipped into correct birthing position
- Kept me informed about what was happening with my baby after she was born and the nurses had to give her some additional support to start her breathing. 
- Never judged our birth preferences and made sure that as much was honored as was possible given medical circumstances. 

We are so grateful for Lenore’s support and feel blessed that she is part of our baby girl’s story.

Here is what a client named Joanne has to say about working with Kirsten Dudley:

It’s hard to find the words to express the depth of my gratitude for Kirstie and having her by my side made the world of difference during a stressful birth. Kirstie was with me throughout, she helped me to find positions of comfort, to remain present in my body and to feel truly held in one of the most vulnerable moments of my life thus far.  She brought an energy of calm and was a loving presence in the lead up to my son’s arrival, during and afterwards. Kirstie not only supported me but also my husband and coordinated with the hospital staff to ensure my wishes were conveyed to the other team members. Kirstie brings with her a wealth of experience, knowledge and expertise, as well as a huge loving heart, a good sense of humor and a beautiful spirit. Birth is transformational and having her by side helped me find the strength and courage I needed, right when I needed it. I am forever indebted to this incredible woman. I would recommend her a million times over- don’t hesitate! She is a true gem.
