Client Testimonials for Stacy Hattori
Debbie Bell
We hired Stacy to help with the birth of our first baby in June 2009. We debated for a long time if we wanted to hire a doula and asked around for recommendations. Stacy was recommended by multiple people and after meeting with her we felt very comfortable and decided to ask her to be a part of our big day. In the end, we couldn't have been more satisfied. She was absolutely wonderful during our pre-meetings and took the time to find out what we wanted from the birth experience. Words truly cannot describe how crucial she was during the birth. I had terrible back labor and I know that my husband and I couldn't have made it through the day without her coaching, positioning, and massaging. If we decide to have a second baby Stacy will be right next to us the whole time, no matter what. I would recommend her to everyone I know.

Stacy attended the birth of my son in June of 2009. My husband and I were so impressed with her services and would insisit on having her present during the birth of future children. Stacy met with us before hand and helped us to develop a birth plan that covered our wishes and helped prepare us for the birthing process. During my labor Stacy was an amazing support to both of us. Stacy's calm presence and reassuring words helped me to feel comfortable (and her foot rubs were amazing). My husband, benefited from Stacy's kinds words and support. Having her there allowed us to work as a team and to focus on each other and the amazing birth process. Stacy served as a liason between us and the hospital staff and helped me to remember my wishes when faced with difficult decisions. After the birth, Stacy was a wealth of information about infant care and breast feeding. I would highly recommend Stacy as a doula for your birth.

Stacy was wonderful. As a first time mom I didn't really know what I would need during labor. Stacy seemed to be able to anticipate what I needed and was there every step to help me through. She listened to what I wanted and remembered all this during my labor. I don't know how I could have gotten through it without her. I will be using her services for future births for sure. Thanks Stacy! I'm forever grateful!
