Here is what a client named Kelly has to say about working with Shelby:

I was so grateful to work with Shelby. She was easy to talk to, kind, caring, knowledgeable, and supportive. I especially appreciated her advice on foods and exercises to help make labor easier - they helped a lot!! 

Shelby also helped me think through and research some delivery options that my doctor gave me. Her advice and guidance ultimately helped me have the exact birth experience that I was hoping for. I don't think I would have arrived at the same decision without Shelby's support and experience, so I will be forever grateful to her. 

Shelby helped me immensely in the delivery room as well. She stayed with me the entire time and gave me very helpful suggestions to be more comfortable and successful in delivery. She answered my questions, supported me, and cheered me on when I felt overwhelmed. 

I know my birth experience would not have been the same without her, and I will recommend her to all my friends and family. :)  Thank you, Shelby!

Here is what a client named Haley W has to say about working with Laurelen:

I knew that I wanted an unmedicated, physiological birth when I found out I was pregnant and started doing my research. As a first time mother, I was both incredibly excited and extremely nervous for the unknown. I quickly knew that I wanted a doula to walk through my pregnancy and birth with us. A doula friend from another state recommended Lauralen, so I scheduled a consult with her. From the first meeting, I felt comfortable talking to her, confident in her knowledge, and sure in my decision to hire her! She was a wealth of information and encouragement throughout pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. Whether it was our prenatal and postpartum workouts, birth plan writing, or my plethora of random questions, Lauralen was always quick to respond with thorough information to allow me to make the best decision for my baby and myself. The day of labor, Laurelen was such an encouragement and motivator throughour my labor. When transition hit, I started to doubt myself but trusted in her instruction. I had a pesky cervical lip, and we spent a few hours of labor working to move it out of the way. Again, Lauralen was our guide - directing us on positions that could help, applying counter pressure, and ensuring a comfortable and relaxed environment. 

Admittedly, my husband was not so sure about hiring a stranger to be in the delivery room with us on such a special day. He agreed to hiring a doula but wasn't doing backflips at the thought quite like I was. The day our daughter was born, my husband told me how thankful he was to have Lauralen there with us. He hadn't been sure of what to expect before, but he was very glad we'd had her to walk with us!

I simply cannot recommend her enough!! With our next little one, Laurelen will likely know I'm pregnant before our family and friends!

Here is what a client named Joshua Morrison has to say about working with Julia:

One of the things we most appreciated about Julia is here attitude. Exuberant might be the best word to use here, which is defined as "filled with or characterized by a lively energy and excitement." Julia was exuberant and brought a lot of support and assurance to my wife and I as we had our first child. She's a great listener and her experience helped us to feel calm and supported when our inverted daughter took us off script into a C-Section. We had exhausting all resources to get her flipped, even attempting an ECV. The hospital pushed back our ECV at least 10 times over the course of 24 hours while other moms needed the OR more urgently. Julia waited with us through it all, played games with my wife and I to pass the time, and sometimes just sat with us in the quiet moments. Julia may bring a lot of energy, but she's also very dynamic and can adjust to the changing needs of any situation.


Most importantly, she helped me feel calm during the cesarean procedure, helped take pictures for us that we would never have been able to capture ourselves, and helped me to be in the right places when my daughter was born and my wife was still in the middle of the procedure. It hard to know what to focus on in the OR when so much is happening.


Her knowledge immediately solved an issue with inverted nipples right when we got back from the OR, and I can't say thank you enough for all the support she provided. As a new dad/mom who have precious little knowledge of newborns, Julia filled in the gaps we didn't even know existed.


If you need a Doula, Julia is well experienced and I would recommend her to anyone.
