Alexis was absolutely AMAZING!!!!...I knew she was the perfect fit from the start. Very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and responsive. (PERFECT) 

I planned to have an unmedicated VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Cesarean) in a hospital environment. I knew in order to achieve this I needed a support team that truly believed in me. Alexis exceeded my expectations!!! 

Alexis worked with my partner and I months before my delivery date educating and providing resources for birth. I was extremely pleased at all the knowledge she was able to provide. 

My birth experience was remarkable!!! Alexis guided me with breathing techniques, position changes, assisting my partner, advocating my desires with the medical team and affirming me of my main goal! I truly wouldn't been able to make it through my birth without her!!


 I would highly recommend Alexis as a Doula and will use her for any future births.
