My birthing experience would not have been the same without Cherish. I was nervous because this was my first pregnancy and I had a small complication so labor was induced. My delivery window was during the height of the 2021 pandemic when family support was limited at the hospital. Because of this I feared not having the support I needed. Thanks to Cherish being a licensed doula, she was able to be in the room with me even when close family were not. Cherish coached me weekly from the beginning of my "high risk" pregnancy and all through post partum. 

During delivery, Cherish's calm nature and massages, along with reassurance slowed me too stay calm. She suggested a mirror, plants, and relaxing music. She was the most supportive when the staff attempted to cut the cord before we were ready. Even when the doctors were suggesting things to rush my delivery, I felt confident in decisions because of her support.

I opted to have continued post partum support from Cherish in home and virtually. She came to prepare healthy meals for me and performed belly binding which made my healing process smoother and faster. She also check on my son's healing and she still keeps up with us to this day!

I have referred Cherish to every pregnant woman that I know. I would never have a birthing experience without her but my side!

Cherish lives up to her beautiful name. Me and my family cherish everything about her services. I had just had a new baby (#3) and went through my pregnancy and birth as a single Mom with 2 other toddlers. I wasn't even able to pin point what I needed or wanted. All I knew is that I was sleep deprived, depressed, and had the most colicky baby. Her first service with me was gifted by a friend of mine that knew I needed some release. She in fact gave me that and more. She taught me how to come back home to myself and my power. She showed me how to massage and care for my little one in ways I never knew. She cared for me as if I was a close family member. She listened to my body. Her energy medicine with massage and body movement just brought me back into my woman hood. She even helped with my food intake and it was because of her I found out I was gluten intolerant and understanding that helped with nursing my baby and the horrible colic my new born was dealing with. She taught me about womb healing and Yoni steams and the closing of the bones ceremony. She has so much knowledge but mainly the healing touch. I also had her work on my whole family because her loving attention and care really are the best gifts to give to loved ones. 3 years after meeting her I have transitioned from corporate Sales to Energy healing all because of her huge impact on me and my family. Meeting Cherish was a gift from the Universe and her services are unmatched.

I have the honor of being Cherish's 1st doula client! I had an all natural, no epidural, vaginal delivery and there's no way I would have made it through without her and my husband. A few weeks before I went into labor we visited with a Lamaze labor coach to teach us breathing treatments. Cherish was an excellent coach and encouraged me to focus on what my body was designed to do. She made me feel very confident and relaxed. Although it was her first doula experience, her expertise in massage therapy was a major benefit. I was also experiencing back labor and she knew exactly how to massage my back (with a tennis ball) to alleviate pressure. Since then (in 2009) Cherish has helped several more women in their most precious moment of delivering healthy beautiful babies and went on to receive many more certifications in this field. I give her the highest ratings and wish her the very best in her career.

Our doula was a huge support in our first few nights as first time parents. She helped greatly with tips on how to breastfeed more effectively and was very knowledgeable about the proper nutrition needed to keep up milk supply. Her gentle and calming nature helped ease our anxieties and we felt extremely comfortable leaving our son in her care while we were able get a few hours rest.

We love Cherish and definitely would recommend her to any mom or family! God bless
