Here is what a client named Grace has to say about working with Rosalia:

I highly recommend Life's Journey Doula Services. Used Rosie for my 2nd homebirth. She made herself available to me via phone, text, email, and was happy to talk about fears, expectations, options which I truly appreciated (as my first home birth was a horrible mess due to a poor provider). All communication with her (contract paperwork included) was clear and concise. Rosie gave me a folder full of information at our prenatal visits that she went over with me, and we made a birth plan together.
My labor was intense, and just less than 4 hours. Rosie got there as quickly as she could, and she was exactly what I needed. Every contraction (back to back and double peaked) I fought it, held my breath, tensed up. And every contraction she reminded me to be calm, to relax, to breathe. Just hearing those words, I would (forcibly) unclench my hands, drop my shoulders, and breathe.
When baby was moving down and the pressure was getting a little unbearable I asked Rosie to use a rebozo to help relieve the pressure. She was happy to help.
Since we had already discussed my birth plan and expectations, once the baby arrived (and during labor), Rosie was quick to do everything we had talked about, like help clean up, make a sitz bath type rinse, weigh baby, etc.
It was so nice to be able to have someone I could depend on, that I knew was there just for me. I didn't have to worry that she'd be distracted by my kids (my husband got pulled away 2x to deal with our kids) or anything else. Her focus was on me and my needs. If I wanted or needed something, all I had to do was ask, and she was immediately stepping up to help.
She helped create a peaceful atmosphere to welcome my little one, and for that I am forever grateful.

Here is what a client named Kim has to say about working with Suzanne:

Sue is an incredible doula, and if we had to do it over, we would choose her as our doula every time!

As first time parents, my husband and I didn't know what to expect about the actual 'birth' part of pregnancy. A friend had told us about her positive experience working with a doula, and we thought it sounded like something that could be helpful. I wanted someone in addition to the busy doctors and nurses who understood the potential surprises of birth. From my husband’s perspective, while he could say loving things to me and hold my hand, he also wanted someone there who had experience with births to stand in our corner and support me.

In comes Sue.  Starting with the first call, she was patient, kind and understanding. She struck the perfect balance of honoring our wishes but also talking through things we had never thought of before. During one of our first conversations, Sue asked us about what our hopes were for the birth. My husband and I realized how little we knew about the topic. Sue helped answer our questions, and we knew what things we wanted to look into further. We met again closer to my due date and discussed a birth plan which was very helpful. We were relieved to have Sue as a resource for us throughout the pregnancy.

Then came the big day! Sue was so knowledgeable and attentive. She educated us at every turn and addressed any concerns and questions we had. She was a calming force not only for me, but for my husband. When we talk about that day, we always say how great it was to have Sue there and how much she contributed to it being a positive experience. Sue also made us a commemorative video of the day. It is so special, and the first time we watched it, it brought us to tears!

I would recommend Sue to anyone looking for a doula. (We enjoyed working with her so much that she was a postpartum doula for us as well.) We couldn’t have imagined the experience without her!

Here is what a client named Jaclyn Gray has to say about working with Kimberly :

This being my first child, the thought of childbirth was scary to say the least. But once my husband and I met Kimberly, many of those worries were quickly put at ease thanks to her knowledge and calming demeanor!  She was extremely supportive of our birth plan and had great ideas that we may have never thought of on our own. Her pre-birth visits were always light hearted and extremely beneficial to both me and my husband.

When we went to the hospital with some concerns, we were admitted on short notice around midnight, but Kimberly answered the phone and talked us through the concerns. She knew exactly what was going to happen and met us at the hospital as soon as my induction took effect. She was extremely calming and helpful especially since we had a nursing staff that was not so supportive of our birth plan and changes that had to take place. Kimberly gave us the courage to say what we wanted and the care to get me through contractions. She was also extremely helpful in showing my husband how he could best support me through the process as well.

Kimberly helped birth my baby girl and even took intimate photos and videos of the special moment. She really went above and beyond as our doula and I am so thankful we had her with us and hired Little Sister Doula!
