Client Testimonials for Ace Eberle

Louise & Bo

We hired Ace as our doula and have absolutely zero regrets about it! We could tell in our interview with her that she was knowledgeable but also capable of tuning in emotionally to our needs, and that's why we gravitated toward her (more on that later).

In our prenatal sessions, Ace really helped prepare us for what to expect in the delivery. Despite the reality that birth is something that must be experienced before you can really comprehend what it entails as new parents, we feel we were as prepared as we possibly could be going into it and even going through it. She was thorough in covering all things delivery-related and graciously answered all of our questions, really taking care to ensure we understood what she covered. 

Ace was truly a life-saver during the labor and delivery process. We reached out to her when contractions started to sort of avalanche (Louise was induced via cervidil insert and it was one of the super rare instances where it worked way faster than anyone had anticipated), and she showed up exactly when she was needed most. She jumped into action right when she got there, tending to Louise's needs and supporting her through heavy contractions. Watching her work really helped Bo understand how to fulfill his role as Louise's birthing partner and that was worth every penny of the doula fee. She was able to sort of bridge the emotional divide between us in that crucial moment. Being in a completely new and intense experience together can have a sort of shell-shock effect, and there's a lot of uncertainty, so we remain grateful and indebted to Ace for her fearlessness in the delivery room.

The post-natal visits helped us reflect on our experience and better appreciate and process it all. Ace guided Louise through some art therapy that helped her get in touch with the feeling aspect of what she'd been through.

Ultimately, we highly recommend Ace! A rock-solid doula!

Ace went above and beyond making sure all my needs were met and answered my questions promptly. She also coached both my husband and I so we felt ready. She has an amazing personality and was also easy to connect with. It was like having a longtime friend whose also passionate about your childbirth experience at your side. You can tell she's really dedicated to her role as doula and I cannot recommend her enough!

Ace helped prepare me and my husband for natural labor as I was hoping for a vbac. The techniques she showed us helped relieve pressure off my back in the last couple of weeks. This was my second baby and I knew nothing ever goes to plan. I ended up having a repeat c section. I went in for my 38 week appointment and was told baby was coming the same day. I messaged ace and she was able to make it and be there with us. I had a horrible experience with my first c section and having the extra support there helped me get through it and it was an amazing experience. I won’t be having anymore kids but if I did, I would definitely hire Ace again. She was amazing in every way possible.

As a first time mom, I felt happy with our decision to hire Ace. She was responsive, respectful, and professional, even from the very start. More importantly, she was kind, reliable, caring, respectful to me, my husband, and our baby! Ace has geniune empathy for moms-to-be and families, we felt comfortable and safe around her. We love that she's passionate about helping moms and families through their birthing experience. 

I had an amazing birth experience. I planned on an unmedicated birth with no medical intervention unless necessary. I also wanted to have a water birth. Most of our labor was at home, and we contacted Ace via call and text messages which was helpful to making sure we are doing things that are helpful for labor. 

It was a little rough around the active labor phase and pain was a lot more intense, but I felt supported by Ace all throughout my labor and birth. We ended up going to the birthing center when my contractions were about 3-1-1, and immediately after Ace was there to help me deal with the intensity of the contractions. I really felt supported, especially when our midwife suggested walking upstairs to encourage movement of the baby. Throughout the intense stage of transition, I was happy Ace was there. She said really encouraging words, gave lots of counter pressure, took photos for us, even told some jokes, and fed me snacks and hydration. 

One other highlight of my birth was working with Ace on an art commission. Ace is a talented artist, and her work, especially paintings and sculptures related to pregnancy and birth, are beautiful, inspiring, and creative. She created a birth painting for us after birth. She captured the moment well, and her artistic style made it very special, meaningful and beautiful!.  

Our birth plan came along together - it was really the perfect birth. It was a memorable and very positive birth experience - and I'm really glad Ace was a key part of it.

We are so thankful Ace was present at our birth! Although we could only meet online beforehand, due to covid, I was struck by how thoughtful and intuitive she is. She was a bright, warm presence at our birth that helped me feel at ease. It can be hard to verbalise what you need while in labor but Ace was intuitive and attentive to my needs and respectful of my wishes prior to birth. I really appreciated that she supported my partner and I with online classes and conversation to allow his support to be the focus of my comfort measures. She enabled us to keep our connection in the forefront while gently guiding us through the process. I would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Ace worked with my husband and I virtually during the height of the Covid pandemic. She was incredibly kind and accommodating, down to earth, and extremely knowledgeable. The time she spent helping us prepare made us feel so much more confident and comfortable going into the birth of our first child, and helped us feel ready despite not being able to have the in person support we had hoped to have. My husband was especially grateful for our time with Ace, and felt ready to ‘doula’ for me. I have since recommended her to another friend, who subsequently sang her praise after her own precipitous birth.

Warm, confident, and intuitive are just a few of the words we'd use to describe our wonderful doula, Ace Eberle. My labor was long, and both physically and emotionally challenging, in part because my daughter arrived posterior. Ace was tireless in her support and care. She remained a strong and reassuring presence, gently encouraging me when I felt I could not continue. Somehow, Ace helped make the room feel safe. Due to my baby's posterior position, I was at risk for a c-section and had to attempt a variety of delivery positions. Ace guided us through these positions, including recommending bilateral pelvic pressure that our midwife later credited with catalyzing the birth. Ace exceeded all our expectations as a doula. We cannot recommend Ace strongly enough!
