Sheila was an amazing doula, she went above and beyond to be there for me and listen to what I wanted and needed from her. She took care of everything so I could focus on me. My first two births I didn’t have any help and I was so glad I did for my third it made such a difference in my stress levels. My husband was able to be glued to my side cause he wasn’t running around doing everything she was. I highly recommen her!!!
