Here is what a client named Eilish has to say about working with Deanna:

I could not have had a better match for a doula than Deanna. She made me, a first time mom, so comfortable in our prenatal visits and encouraged us with stories of other mommas and  shared the most helpful information. During our home birth, she literally never left my side. Her voice calmed and soothed me through each contraction and the supports she offered always helped. It was an amazing experience that I'd do over again. The hardest part is missing her, now that our visits are over. <3

Here is what a client named Amanda Stover has to say about working with Katie :

We hired Katie to be the doula for the birth of our first child, and loved her so much we brought her on board to assist with our second child's birth, too!  My husband was hesitant at first to have a doula--he was afraid she would 'replace' him during the birth.  Katie quickly put him at ease, and let him know that she would help HIM as much as she helped me; she would give him tips and ideas during the birthing process on how to support me...and that's exactly what she did.  With Katie's help, encouragement, suggestions and support (to both my husband and me) I was able to have two natural child births, and for that I am incredibly grateful.  Katie provides great post-birth support, too.  After both births she came to our home to visit, providing tips on breastfeeding, baby care, and mom's health (physical and mental), too.  She was also of great help after the birth of our second child when we encountered serious issues with his inability to sleep.  I look forward to the day when I can tell both of my boys their birth stories and about their amazing doula, Katie, who was an important part of it all!

Here is what a client named Anna Crivaro has to say about working with Kate:

When I got pregnant with my second child I was not only very excited but extremely scared. I have known for a while that I wouldn't have much support from family so I was a bit stressed on taking labor on myself after a traumatic first childbirth. Kate became my doula very early on in my pregnancy and was the person I went to for any emotional, mental, or physical needs. She would drop everything and make sure I felt healthy, safe, comfortable, and happy. Even before labor, she was guiding me through my very normal (but very difficult) symptoms & easing my mind. During my labor, Kate was the only thing that got me through the pain. I was able to get to 5cm without the epidural, which was much longer than I anticipated. When my epidural decided to  not work, I was in a lot of pain but was ready to push. Kate not only helped me by physically massaging me and making sure I was as comfortable as possible, she also was there for mental support, helping me power through a very challenging situation. She empowered me, made me feel not only comfortable but full of confidence and strength. After bringing my son home, Kate was right there when I needed her. Came to help me with my toddler, dishes, groceries, etc. My son is 6 months old and Kate is still asking how she can help me through this postpartum journey and how she can lighten my load. To say the least, I would be lost without Kate. She is not only a great and beautiful person, but the most phenomenal doula!! I recommend her to anyone that is going through or thinking of going through pregnancy!
