Renee was absolutely wonderful. I didn't need much assistance during the entire pregnancy since it was my third time but during pre-labor, labor and delivery she was exactly what I needed. Great with her hands, great with support, very gentle and strong the same time. But also loving and fun. She is my #1 choice for whenever the 4th starts coming along. Thanks Renee!

We had an amazing experience with our doula, Renee! We were new to the area for this pregnancy and referred to Renee through another doula. From the first meeting she was kind, energetic, knowledgeable and passionate about the birthing experience! I had a very long labor with our first born and was worried about the same experience for our second. Renee is certified in the Body Ready Birth Method and referred me to some courses on there. As we neared the due date for our son I felt in tune with my body, confident in the birthing positions I had learned about and movements to support us, and Renee really took the time to understand our goals for the experience. Our baby boy surprised us 3 weeks early, Renee showed up to the hospital, helped with massage, body positioning, words of encouragement and positivity. I started pushing and he was with us in just 45 minutes, no tearing, and a truly BEAUTIFUL and eventless experience. She checked in several times after birth and offers several services to support you and baby. Her positive energy and wisdom truly elevated our experience and we are so grateful for her!

I worked with Renee and a team of doulas during my first pregnancy, and Renee was the doula assigned to my birth, she was so amazing that I knew I needed her for my second birth too!! With her help I was able to achieve my dream unmedicated delivery. She was so helpful every step of pregnancy, and so helpful during delivery as a support person. She was able to show me different positions and moves to help the baby get into optimal position and reduce pain to have the best birth possible. I would highly recommend Renee to anyone!!

Renee did an absolutely amazing job coaching me through labor and delivery! She knew exactly what to do when and was such an encouragement when I needed it the most. Thank you for making my home birth experience so special and for giving our family the support we needed to welcome our firstborn into the world!

It was wonderful to support you - I wish for the best for you and your family!
Renee
