Here is what a client named Jade has to say about working with Sarah:

We were originally a couple that was not looking to hire a doula. As a young, healthy pregnancy who was under the supervision of a midwife i was not sure the service would benefit us and the cost was something we were aware of so close to welcoming a baby. After hearing a friend's positive experience and weighing out our options we proceeded with hiring Sarah at her recommendation. I am so glad that we had her! She has a wonderful calm demeanor, and I found an even mix between holistic and medical based care. I never felt judged for wanting an epidural or hospital birth, and her ability to be able to explain things in an easy to digest way was comforting. She showed me how to hand express properly and collect colostrum, which was very helpful. Going in to labour can feel very scary and to have her in my home through the early stages with my husband and I creating a very calm environment, showing us ways to cope through contractions and new ways to relieve pain was something we were both so thankful for. If not for her we would have gone to the hospital 4-5 hours sooner and certainly been sent home. She was present through the birth and helped create a calm environment in the hospital as well. She had great rapport with my mideife. She offered support to myself and my husband - having someone there who's entire job is to support you is so comforting. After the baby came she stayed with us until we were settled in the next ward. We have seen her once so far postpartum - she helped us through our first bath, how to properly babywear, and making sure I was doing well emotionally and talking through the birth experience, which wasn't something I had realized I needed but felt much lighter afterwards. I am so glad we decided to go with Sarah in the end and would recommend her services to anyone asking. If it is something you can manage financially it is 100% worth investing in your comfort and feeling safe for what can be a scary and totally unknown experience.

Here is what a client named Chen & Hao has to say about working with Elizabeth:

From our first interaction, Liz set herself apart as an exceptional doula. Her quick and attentive responses to our calls and texts gave us comfort and confidence in her commitment. Liz's willingness to be by our side at a moment's notice, making house visits whenever we needed her support, was beyond what we could ever hoped for.

During early labor, Liz was the first to arrive our house. From the moment contractions began, she was there, bringing comfort and calm with her pain management techniques. Her presence was not just a source of emotional support; she played a crucial role in ensuring our voices were heard, effectively helping us communicate with our midwife and advocating for our needs.

Liz's familiarity with the hospital also proved invaluable, guiding us seamlessly through the hospital hallways to where we needed to be. When faced with the unexpected delay of the epidural, her presence and care were the reassurances we needed to endure the long hours.

Liz was with us every step of the way during labor. She even helped guide the nurses, suggesting different birthing positions. She also captured the precious moments of our baby's first arrival in beautiful photos and videos. Her commitment didn't end with the birth; the postpartum visits with homemade soup and her ever-present support through calls and texts, were a testament to her passion and dedication. Liz was there to guide us through the challenging first couple of weeks at home, offering advice on everything from burping the baby to breastfeeding.

We are eternally grateful for Liz's support, guidance, and heartfelt care. Her involvement made our journey into parenthood not just manageable, but a cherished experience. We could not have done this without Liz. We are looking forward to having Liz by our side for our next adventure into parenthood. For anyone seeking a doula who is responsive, knowledgeable, and dedicated, we cannot recommend Liz highly enough!

Here is what a client named Holly Rohani has to say about working with Tamara Cleaver - :

Tamara was my post partum doula for 5 months. She helped me tremendously as a first time mother, and was amazing with my newborn son. She's patient, kind, compassionate and respectful, and it was clear my son loved spending time with her! She helped with breastfeeding as I was having trouble, and even created a detailed list of breastfeeding articles and infortmation, it was extremely thoughful. It was a joy for us to have her as our doula, and I cannot recommend her enough.
