Here is what a client named Kristen Atabay has to say about working with Teresa:

To put it simply, Teresa changed not only my birth experience - but my life. She proved herself worth far more than the cost of her services, within minutes of our first conversation. The birth of my first child was extremely traumatic both physically and emotionally and left me, not only with PTSD and postpartum depression, but with a fear and distrust for doctors (despite having close family members in the medical field). I searched and struggled for years, trying to find someone I could trust as I also struggled to get pregnant and deal with my intense fear of having another traumatic birth. My story is long, and detailed, and deeply personal, but one that I can say with absolute certainty would have ended in another heartbreak if it weren't for Teresa. She helped me tremendously to change the course of my journey, which ultimately ended with me having the birth of my dreams. At 45 years of age, I was able to go into labor naturally (5 days past my due date) and have a successful, unmedicated, VBAC solely in the presence of midwives, my family, and Teresa - at St. Joseph hospital in NH (also amazing). There is absolutely NO DOUBT in my mind that had I not met Teresa, I would have ended up with another traumatic c-section at the hands of an OB who cares more about numbers and protecting their own self-interests than they do seeing an individual for who they are and doing what is best for them. I feel redeemed, fulfilled, complete, and no longer feel as though my body has failed me. I am in awe, eternally grateful, and ultimately blessed. I know, more so than most, that life doesn't usually go the way you planned. But I *also* know that had I not planned, worked so hard, and of course, met Teresa, what I had "planned" would NEVER have happened. So, from the bottom of my heart, thank you Teresa. And if you are reading this and considering her - first of all, congrats! And second of all - look no further. She is *everything* and more. <3

Here is what a client named Alexandra Carter has to say about working with Marissa:

We had the privilege of having Marissa as our doula throughout the journey of welcoming our son into the world, and we cannot express enough gratitude for her invaluable support. From our initial meetings to the postpartum period, Marissa's warmth, expertise, and unwavering dedication made all the difference for my husband and me.

During our prenatal visits, Marissa took the time to truly understand our hopes, fears, and preferences, creating a tailored birth plan that reflected our wishes while also offering insightful guidance. Her calming presence and wealth of knowledge provided us with much-needed reassurance and confidence as first-time parents.

When the big day arrived, Marissa was a rock of support, both emotionally and physically. Her calming presence and encouragement helped ease the intensity of experience, while her expertise and support provided invaluable relief especially when things didn’t go as “planned.” She helped us stay grounded, present, and even laughing through the whole process. Having Marissa with us helped my husband and I feel empowered and confident through the birthing process.

Even after our son was born, Marissa continued to be a source of support and guidance during the postpartum period. Whether offering breastfeeding advice, emotional support, or simply lending a listening ear, Marissa's genuine care and compassion made the transition to parenthood smoother and more manageable.

We are forever grateful for Marissa’s unwavering support, expertise, and compassion. She played an integral part in our birthing experience, and I cannot recommend her services highly enough to expecting parents seeking a knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated birth companion. Thank you, Marissa, for being an invaluable part of our journey to parenthood.

Here is what a client named Megan has to say about working with Maria:

Thank goodness for Maria.

We knew we wanted to work with a doula early on and interviewed several before chatting with Maria. Immediately after speaking with her, my husband and I looked at each other and agreed that she was the best fit for us. We were looking for someone science-based, patient, and kind who could act as an advocate and advisor for both of us throughout the pregnancy journey; Maria was all that and more.

Maria helped us prepare with in-depth discussions of the labor process. She was incredibly patient in answering our questions and recording our preferences. She asked about all the little nuances that might make the experience more or less difficult for each of us and helped come up with approaches that aligned with our vision for the birth.

As a first-time mom, I had a lot of questions and concerns that felt very dismissed by the hospital staff during my labor. Maria made me feel validated and did her absolute best to make my concerns heard. Maria helped me work through the exhaustion and discomfort of labor, literally drying my tears and suggesting different ways to try to ease the physical symptoms.

Maria was indispensable during and after delivery. She reminded the hospital staff of my preferences and helped advocate for me when those preferences were dismissed. She helped my husband keep me calm and updated me on what was going on at all points. She stayed with me while my husband accompanied my son to the NICU and made sure that I was emotionally okay, got food, and had any questions answered. 

Maria followed up with us several times in the subsequent weeks to make sure we were okay. I am so grateful that Maria was our doula. She is so kind, thoughtful, attentive, and patient. I've already recommended her to several friends and have no reservations continuing to do so here. She was one of the best decisions we made for our pregnancy, labor, and delivery experience.
