Here is what a client named Angela de Silva has to say about working with Dani:

Serendipitously, I booked Dani the night before I was induced (unplanned)! I was speaking with different doulas a week before, and I just loved Dani's energy and approach. She spent over an hour answering my questions, telling me about herself, and aligning with how she could help with the needs I communicated. We scheduled our first pre labor meeting for that weekend, but I started leaking fluid and was induced the next day after our call-4 weeks early! I texted Dani right away and she said she would come to the hospital whenever I needed her to be there. I didn't need her until the next morning when I started to get more uncomfortable and tired, and she came right away. It was perfect because my partner had been awake all night so he finally got to sleep for 3 hours becuase he felt so much more comfortable with Dani there. That break helped him so much for when it was actually time for him to support me while pushing and after the baby came. It was amazing for me as Dani and I had great conversations, and she did body work on me the entire time. I felt like I was getting a 6 hour massage! It definitly relieved the aches I was having from being in the hospital bed for so long. My neck had a horrible kink in it also which she was able to get out. When it was time to push, Dani, my doctor, my parter and my nurse made the perfect team, my partner at my head and Dani and the nurse holding each leg. When the baby started crowning (and a few moments during the pushing and many photos after the delivery) Dani was able to get the most incredible birthing photos. I'm SO glad to have these as it was such an amazing experience and a perspective I didn't get to see during! I talk about Dani and how amazing my experience was when anyone who asks about the birth. She made me feel so comfortable and made me feel like my labor experience was very easy! I will definitly be using her again for the next one!

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

Need a doula?
Autumn was the most unexpected blessing of my pregnancy. If you or someone you know is pregnant, I cannot recommend her enough! We video chatted about every other week for the last half of my pregnancy - she had all the information I could ever need, and anything she didn’t have, she found out for me. Even just to have someone to text at 3am when I thought baby was coming (he wasn’t!) she was there to guide me through the symptoms and encourage me that my body was just getting prepared!
Get a doula! We would have been lost without her.

Here is what a client named Louise Harding has to say about working with Katharine:

We worked with Katharine as our doula for our first birth, and I don't think words can describe just how invaluable and supportive she was. I hoped to experience an unmedicated birth and without Katharine's support I don't think that I could have done it, especially considering that labour went for 15 hours, all through the night. Despite surely being exhausted, Katharine was fully dedicated the entire time, from beginning to end, always full of ideas for shifting positions and easing my discomfort, supporting my partner throughout, and acting as an essential protector of our space. A hospital setting isn't always ideal, and we were unlucky to be under the care of a nurse who didn't entirely understand or support our desire for less intervention, and Katharine was able to calmly and diplomatically engage with her in multiple instances that meant neither myself or my partner had to experience that kind of stress in an already highly emotional time. From the very beginning, with every prenatal appointment, Katharine was thorough, kind, warm, and genuine. She's extremely knowledgable and all of her resources have been so helpful for us. It was such a relief to see her again postpartum as well, and I know she's helped set us up to be the most successful new parents that we can be. I loved welcoming her into our new little family.
