Here is what a client named Emilie & Sebastien has to say about working with Lauren:

My birthing and postpartum experiences would have gone so differently had Lauren not been part of our team. I cannot recommend her more highly and have come to think of her as a friend and resource that I will forever be grateful to have in our lives. I was immediately drawn to her upon our first call where she shared evidence-based information, answered all of my questions with a calm, confident energy, which is exactly what I was looking for. Once we began working with her, she was open to my ideas and struck the perfect balance of informing without dictating and she supported me through decisions about my birth plan. She also coached my husband and made him feel prepared and ready for the birth. She understands the pregnancy journey and has a very high level of empathy, which allows her to remain flexible, open-minded, and adaptable to the changing needs of her clients and their birth journeys. I felt confident after our prep sessions which I never thought was possible for me with regards to childbirth; I am someone who suffered from a deep fear of labor and had planned to schedule a c-section! When the big day came, she was responsive and supported all of my needs at our home and the hospital. When we needed to pivot away from the birth plan, she helped us do so with ease. Her presence throughout the day was incredibly calming for both my husband and me and we still believe we couldn't have done it without her. We enjoyed working with her so much that we also hired her as a postpartum doula, during which she provided me with desperately needed help and care as we live away from our families and are without the village so many new parents have. I love that she has been a part of my now 7 month old daughter's life for her whole life and she is one of the only people in whom I have complete confidence when it comes to caring for her. Lauren is kind, intelligent, informed and supportive and any birthing person would be beyond lucky to have her as their doula.

Here is what a client named Yoonmy Hanneman has to say about working with Jill:

We did not initially think to have a doula on our birth team but our friends recommended it. I am so glad we looked into doula support because we found Jill.

Jill was an amazing support throughout pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum. She supported all our preferences without judgement and helped us make informed decisions on topics we did not know about as first time parents. She created a beautiful calming ambiance to the delivery room with twinkle lights. We loved her positive energy and humor. She was attentive and always available to answer any questions we had. We would highly recommend adding her to your birth team!

Here is what a client named Veronica Belmonte has to say about working with Kimberly:

If you don't hire Kim, you're doing birth wrong.I felt SO SAFE & encouraged with her. Although I was really informed about labor & birth since this was my 2nd go around, she brought even more education & insight to me. How she showed up & went right into action was incredible. I was a 2nd time mom pregnant w/ twins & we were on our toes the last trimester with "it could happen any minute now" anticipation. Kim & I were in constant communication. She made me feel so seen and loved. I felt like I had a bff with me during my labor. She counter pressured all the pain through each contraction. She helped guide my husband to help me through them and to create oxytocin. She knew exactly what positions to put me in to help baby descend. She played worship music the entire time, turned on the flameless candles, & prayed with me. I felt like I blinked and was at 7cms dilated. It was so incredible how she got me that far. I ultimately got an epidural because my doctor told me he was going to preform a breech extraction (Google it. It's awful) & told me that I wouldn't want to feel that. Kim advocated for me the entire time! She re explained every single thing the doctor said to me. When you're going through contractions, the doctors love to coerce you and confuse you into doing things THEIR way. Kim made sure to re explain / dumb down everything they were saying so that I could process it and make my decisions. My twins were both born vaginally & within 2 minutes apart. Kim helped me latch them both on & gave me some great breastfeeding support. Her postpartum visit was great. She wanted to clean my dishes & see what she could do to help out. I will never go with any other doula ever again. She is here to stay! And I plan on having like 10 kids haha! I love you Kim! You are my family now & I'll always recommend you to every single pregnant mama I know. Thank you for showing up & being EVERYTHING to me during my labor.
