We had a wonderful, easy and seamless experience doing Placenta Encapsulation with Doula Samantha Martin. We reached out last minute just a few weeks before our baby was due, and she was very prompt at replying and giving us all of the information we needed and options to choose from. We knew what to expec tthe day our daughter arrived; she picked up the placenta from the hospital in a timely fashion, gave updates on the encapsulation process and delivered them to our house within the first 48 hours! They came with very clear instructions, an email and easy ways to reach out if we had any questions. She followed up to see how they worked for me, and was overall a very kind, knowledgable and reliable person. If we have another baby- which we hope to! - we are already planning to use Sam again for encapsuation, and to look into her for a doula as well :) Highly recommend Sam!

Samantha is super friendly and knowledgeable! She has tons of great resources to share as well. She helped me with my second-born and I loved how person-centered she is with the service she provides. Thank you, Samantha!

Samantha is truly someone special. Everything she did was calm and helpful! From meetings before the birth to meetings after she was full of wisdom and calmed all our nerves. I learned so much from her that I didn’t know before as a new mom and I felt very prepared for my labor because of her guidance! She just has this beautiful presence that helped my anxiety as well as calmed my husband through every step. I am so grateful for Samantha! Hiring her was one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy!!

Samantha was a very good Throughout the whole birth process and even before the birth of my daughter. She was very nice and helpful and had a lot of information on everything to do with having a baby. She also did My Placenta encapsulation and it made me feel a hundred times better mentally wise since with my first daughter I had postpartum depression.

Samantha was our doula for our daughter's birth. I'm so thankful she was there. Prior to the birth she helped us create a birth plan and was a great resource for questions. She is very experienced with Maple Grove Hospital, which was a huge help. My husband and I had no idea what we were in for and Samantha was awesome in guiding us. My husband especially appreciated having someone there to help instruct him when he had no clue how to help. Samantha also inspected our car seat installation to make sure it was correct. If we have another pregnancy- I hope Samantha is available for us again!

Samantha made all the difference for my wife and I and our 2nd child. We did not have a doula with our 1st but realized the extra guidance and support that Samantha provided was tremendous. I would recommend her to anyone for any of your birthing plans and needs. She is gentle, caring, and offers the best insights at the right moments. Affordable pricing and very consultative.
