Here is what a client named Shardé Copeland has to say about working with Rachel:

Words can not begin to express how grateful I am for Rachel and her team at Family Ways. I was 37 weeks pregnant and researching different businesses for placenta encapsulation. Family Ways was recommended by my OBGYN as well as another doula service. I hadn't quite settled on a group I wanted to use yet but when I unexpectedly delivered my baby 3 weeks early I jumped on finding someone who could take my placenta immediately. After leaving several messages for different groups Family Ways responded rapidly and started the process for my encapsulation. Rachel provides me with so much helpful information & when I was unsure about something, she would give me my options, provide pros and cons, and tell me to think about it. I never felt pressured to do anything and always felt reassured. I also loved that they offered more than just encapsulation for the placenta. Who knew that there were so many more options with your placenta. Rachel was prompt with picking up my placenta on again such short notice and delivering it in time before my discharge. Family Ways has made my post pregnancy dreams a reality that I didn't think would happen, given my last minute delivery. Her team is professional, very trustworthy, and went above and beyond my expectations. I can't wait to have my second child to use their services again!

Here is what a client named Daryl has to say about working with Julia :

As a dad, working with Julia not only supported my partner’s labor experience but helped me feel calm and confident in my support during the labor as well. She has a calm and reassuring presence that was invaluable and even though she had just met us (Julia stepped in for our labor last minute when our doula was at another labor), she picked up on our needs quickly and provided just the kind of support we were hoping for. She connected with my partner and helped her navigate through the contractions but also made a point to connect with me throughout it the labor which turned any of my anxious energy into something more productive. She helped us ask questions of the midwife to ensure we knew what to expect and worked seamlessly with the nurse and midwife throughout the labor which meant I could just focus on my partner. Thanks Julia!

Here is what a client named Elisabeth has to say about working with Nathalie:

My husband and I had our baby last January and are so grateful we had Nathalie's support. Her experience and attitude towards birth appealed to us, and I was happy that she and my husband got on well since it was important to me that he feel fully included. I think Nathalie is very sensitive to this and made sure he felt supported in his role.

We saw a lot of different providers during prenatal check ups, so it was really nice having Nathalie as a constant presence through the pregnancy. She checked in with us often and sent helpful information and videos. As our due date approached she helped us develop our birth preferences and was able to offer insightful advice without any judgement.

Unfortunealy due to COVID restrictions we knew she would not be able to join us at the hospital. When labor got going, she came to our home and supported us for many hours - it was a long labor! I was initially nervous that I would feel self conscious laboring in front of anyone, but Nathalie has a very soothing & unobtrusive presence. Having her there was very comforting, especially when we felt unsure about how things were progressing. She helped us balance active labor and rest, guided us through exercises, and just sat with me helping me relax between contractions.

After we left for the hospital she stayed in contact with my husband via text. I wasn't sure how remote support would go, but it was actually very reassuring. An unexpected outcome of texting with her is that we now have a recap of everything that happened that day, which is so nice because it's all kind of a blur now!


Nathalie was a wonderful support during labor.  She also went above and beyond after the birth to make sure we were settled in at home and that I doing okay emotionally.  We truly felt like she shared our joy at the birth of our son, and are so glad she was a part of that incredible experience. Thank you Nathalie!
