We asked Lana to be our Doula for the birth of our second child. We had some  munideal circumstances with our first being a hospital birth, and wanted to have a different experience with our second at a homebirth. Lana was an amazing listener and wanted to know every detail of the labour of our first, She asked great questions to help us figure out what exactly our birth plan would look like for our second at home, she gave great exercises to try if labour would stall out - hoping to avoid the need to head to the hospital, She gave my husband and I some comforting exercises and stretches to do during labour as well.When I called her while in labor, she promptly came, prepared the snacks I wanted to eat that in our kitchen (highly recommend watermelon!!) so that my husband didn’t have to leave, and she helped with simple things like filling the bathtub and making sure it was the proper temperature and water level. We had an amazing experience with homebirth, and I give much credit to her for her suggestions for natural, medication-free pain management!

Lana was instrumental throughout the pregnancy and birth of my first baby! Being first time parents, my husband and I wanted to ensure we had all the support we could get and the decision to have Lana as our Doula was one of them. From our initial meeting with Lana, she was personable, incredibly positive and made me feel so confident in my pregnancy. She was available when I had questions and was always helpful and reassuring

Leading up to and during the birth, Lana was so supportive and comforting. She helped guide me through breathing techniques, labouring positions, strategies for a positive labour experience and how my husband can support me throughout the labour. She worked seamlessly with my midwives and provided the emotional and mental support I needed to have a positive home birth experience. Postpartum, Lana was again available for questions and provided both my husband and I with knowledge and reassurance of our new life with our baby. 

It is evident that Lana loves what she does and her confidence in you radiates. I would recommend Lana to anyone!

Lana was an essential part of our birthing experience. We truly couldn't of done this without her. Lana is kind and compassionate and truly invests herself in your journey. Her immense knowledge provides you with the confidence needed to bring your baby safely into the world. We love you Lana!

Lana was a great addition to our home birth. As a first time mom- I didn’t know exactly what to expect and I am certain that her confidence and help preparing before labour influenced our energy coming into the birth for the better. We ended up with a quick delivery of our son and both my husband and I were grateful to have her there to help us welcome him and celebrate that intense journey with us.

Her postpartum support was a great comfort for us both as well. She touched our lives and welcomed us into parenthood and we are forever grateful.

Throughout the transition into motherhood, Lana was an amazing person to have by my side. During my pregnancy she was always there for me when I had any questions or just needed someone to talk to. She taught us many techniques and strategies to assist us in early labour. When I was delivering my baby, Lana was such an encouraging presence. She helped both me and my husband stay calm and strong through my first delivery. Even after my baby was born, she supported me through my breastfeeding journey. It felt like reaching out to her was like reaching out to a friend. I am so grateful to have had Lana in my most life altering experience! She truly is the best!
