From our first meeting, Evelyn had a genuine, easy presence and I felt such relief knowing I had someone who was 100% behind what I wanted for my birth and would help me speak up for myself. Talking to her during my pregnancy relieved my anxieties, and I went into labor with confidence in myself. I'm so thankful!

I cannot say more positive things about Susie as our doula. From the first phone call she exuded kindness and compassion. She was open to supporting me through my hospital birth experience and was ultimately such a fierce advocate and support for my wishes during labor. I ended up with an induction and her knowledge and experience with my birth hospital was key in getting me a room with a shower and worked with my bedside RN in order to help me use the shower despite me on pitocin. She was there through every fierce contraction and used pressure points and counter pressure to help me through. Additionally, she helped support my husband support me. While her support during labor and delivery was invaluable, her help post partum was equally incredible. She came to my home and helped me with valuable lactation advice, but also supported my mental well-being post partum. The whole experience with Susie was excellent and if we have another child in Rhode Island she will be my first call! 

Chayse was a last minute addition to my care team, and I'm so lucky we were able to be squeezed in. As an older Mom I was really nervous to give birth in the US for the first time. But Chayse came up to Boston worked with me to help calm me down and feel prepared. Thankfully I was allowed to have my Mom with me too and she even helped my Mom prepare. We have a confinement tradition after birth that Chayse was surprisngly knowledgeable about and provided support through.  Amazing cook, a wonderful spirit, and someone I can trust.
