Here is what a client named Irina has to say about working with Noshaba:

Working with Noshaba was the best part of my pregnancy and birth experience. She was incredibly knowledgable, caring, and empowering. She supported me and my partner in articulating the type of labor and birth experience we were hoping for - and was there every step of the way. She offered physical, emotional, and spiritual support. In the moments when I felt most afraid and unsure of myself, Noshaba was there to offer guidance, courage, and help me tap into my own strenght. I was able to endure 12 hours of unmedicated labor - something I never thought I had the strength or courage to accomplish - with Noshaba's care, affirmations, and guidance. Besides meeting my baby, working with Noshaba was best part of my labor experience!

Here is what a client named Annie has to say about working with Melissa F.:

Where do I even begin? We found Melissa during my first pregnancy in 2021 after our first doula was unable to continue on, and let little did we know how big of a blessing that would be! Melissa supported us during a hospital birth during the height of Covid, and we hired them again to support us through the birth of our second baby at home. It’s been such an honor to have their support besides me for the birth of both my babies. In the hospital, they helped me gain confidence in advocating for myself and kept me encouraged. At home they kept me centered and focused on letting my body do the work it needed to do. In both pregnancies, Melissa provided so much educational resources, and was always open to chat about topics that I had questions about or anything I was experiencing. Their help in baby wearing with my first pregnancy has helped me teach many friends how to confidently wear their babies! We also hired them to encapsulate my placenta, and I can say that after nearly 3 weeks of taking the pills, my recovery this time has been a  night and day difference! With our first, I cried daily when the sun set for the first few weeks and thought it was a myth that some people don’t experience the baby blues. This time I have felt like my normal self! I highly recommend hiring Melissa for anyone looking for a doula.

Here is what a client named Ebony Redd has to say about working with Briana:

Hello, This was my first pregnancy and of course it was a lot of questions and scares. Make it even worse I was bed written most of first and second trimester. Briana was godsent through the entire process. First of all she was my doula pro bono! Which was an automatic blessing. Secondly, she came to me by seeing my post on Facebook. She said how she had been drawn to help me that it was just on her heart. Sis came through!!! We had sessions where she showed me how to exercise with the ball and without it. She showed my partner how to comfort me during labor what things to look for, what questions to ask. Like there wasn't a ground we didn't cover. She showed me how to feed the baby, what to feed the baby, pointers on how to start off feeding  because I was breastfeeding. She made comfortable the entire process. It was nights I had pains to where I couldn't take it and she motivated me on how strong I was talked me through it. Educated me on what I was experiencing. Like she was just there!!! Every step of the way. It would be days she'd be in my home area and would call to see if home to stop by just checking on me and the baby. Like we built a bond. It was beautiful. When it came time for labor sis was  clutch!!!! She was there massaging me, helping with breathing techniques, propping me up, engaging with the dr and nurses on what I wanted. Like I was out of it and sis stepped up and did what needed to be done. My active labor was literally 6 minutes my baby boy was out. I'm forever grateful for my now sister. I would highly recommend her services. She's genuine and very knowledgeable and nurturing. You'll be in amazing hands. ??
