Working with Sam was great! I would 100% recommend her doula services. She was knowledgeable, professional, and personable. She made me feel very comfortable, which was important, as pregnancy is a very personal and vulnerable time. She was also very giving of her time and resources/experience. I felt like I learned a lot from our sessions and that they helped me feel prepared for labor. Most importantly, Sam was there for me when I really needed her. My labor had some serious complications and Sam helped me hold it together so I could be strong for my baby and for myself. I am forever grateful.

Sam is an excellent doula. My husband and I felt immediately comfortable the first time we spoke with her. It was clear that she is not only knowlegable and experienced, but truly cares about helping facilitate the birth experience her clients are hoping for. She took time to get to know me, my partner, and my toddler during our pre-natal visits. She has a calm, warm presence which was especially helpful during the more intense parts of my labor and delivery.

My husband and I were blessed to have Sam help us bring our bundle of love into the world! Having a doula was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. Especially during covid, when we couldn't have close family members and friends' support, having Sam help us through the labor and delivery process was wonderful. Sam is calm and very knowledgeable, she has been part of our journey throughout my pregnancy, delivery and postpartum. When I got admitted to the hospital, Sam arrived within a couple of hours and stayed with us until our little one joined the world. She guided us through the delivery process and provided my husband insights on how he can support me during labor. I will be working with her for any future pregnancies I may have. I highly recommend Sam for anyone who is looking an amazing doula.

She was amazing doula. We clicked instantly. She explained her services and how she could assist me, filled me in on the things I had yet to realize I needed to know, and offered phenomenal emotional support. Though my pregnancy didn't go as planned, she encouraged me and did her best to help me stick to my birth plan. It made the whole ordeal a bit more manageable for me.

Sam West is fantastic. She supported my husband and I at our daughter’s birth. From when I first met her, I was exceptionally impressed by how knowledgeable, professional and friendly Sam was. During the birth, Sam was highly competent, relaxed and reassuring, guiding us through possible labor positions, comforting me, helping my husband in terms of how best to support me, providing information, and ultimately, proving to be much more fully present, knowledgeable and supportive in guiding me through pushing than the labor and delivery nurse was. I ended up needing an unplanned ceserean - Sam was there throughout. In looking back at the experience my husband and I both agreed that we are not sure how we would have made through the birth without her. I cannot recommend her more highly.

Sam was extremely affective at making me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and especially during the birth. She provided me several helpful resources both before and after the birth. Her services were a great value. The best part of having her as part of my birth experience was the confidence she gave me by equipping me with knowledge about the birth process as well as the physical comfort she was able to provide and teach my partner how to provide during my labor.

Dear Sam,

I could not have made it through my intense and rapid labor without you. Your guidance, comfort measures, and emotional support helped to calm my fears and go with the flow of labor. I’m honored to have had you cut Solaris’s cord in my natural birth and we will hold you forever in our hearts. 

Thank you,
