Here is what a client named Navita Mittal has to say about working with Mairi:

We had the pleasure of working with Mairi during our pregnancy. Our decision of choosing Mairi as our doula was hands down the BEST DECISION we made during our pregnancy. What sets Mairi apart is her love and passion for the birthing process. Her depth of knowledge blew our mind and she is very data/evidence driven which is very educating and reassuring for first time parents. Additionally she is honest, generous and genuinely cares about your experience which really made her stand out.

Before childbirth: We entered the birthing process as complete noobs. Mairi patiently educated us about each and every stage and decisions involved in the process through evidence based course, in-person sessions and podcasts. Going through these sessions/material educated and enabled us to really own this process and make informed decisions. Mairi deeply cares about empowering parents and provides great feedback to drive even more clarity in decisions and birth plan. During childbirth: Childbirth is definitely one of the most challenging things especially for the mother. Having Mairi who has extensive knowledge and provides unwavering support by our side was a game changer. When unexpected things arose, she kept us informed and empowered. Throughout labor, her calming presence, comfort measures and reassuring guidance were indispensable, turning what could have been a daunting experience into one filled with confidence and comfort. She also beautifully captured those memories that we can cherish forever. After birth: Mairi provided hands-on assistance with breastfeeding and baby care and went above and beyond in connecting us with the right resources/ support groups. Overall, Mairi made this one of the most memorable & beautiful experiences. Her expertise, in-depth knowledge & empathy is unmatchable. I highly recommend her to everyone embarking on this beautiful journey!

Here is what a client named Cherry has to say about working with Marta:

Having Marta & Hannah by my side through the pregnancy was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. I highly recommend working with Marta & Hannah. They were the dream team, and we're so grateful to have met them.

At first, I was skeptical about hiring a doula because I didn't quite understand the value doula brings to the pregnancy journey. However, many of my good friends highly recommend working with someone. Through research and connections, eventually, we were fortunate to meet Hannah & Marta.

We want to be informed enough to make the right decisions about my well-being and preparation for birth, mentally, physically, and emotionally. There was a lot of the unknown, given that this was our first pregnancy journey. While we have lots of trusted friends & family with a ton of helpful information, it was too overwhelming. Marta & Hannah guided us through the process and provided us with the right amount of information we needed at the right time. It was so important to have them by our side, to hear our concerns, and provide a sense of calm and reassurance in our preferences. I felt confident and at ease about my childbirth experience. My husband was prepared and knew that he had the support he needed to take care of me.

I wanted a natural birth. I ended up with a 36 hrs long labor at the hospital with very little intervention. We had a healthy baby boy. It was long and intensive, but I appreciate every moment of it. Marta & Hannah were there by my side the entire experience. It would have been much more challenging mentally and physically without their support. They made sure that I moved around, explored different positions during labor, and helped me cope with the intensity with various counter pressure techniques. They knew to step back when I needed my space and knew to step in when I needed them.

Just hire Marta & Hannah, you won't regret it.

Here is what a client named Victoria Lopez Zahurksy has to say about working with Ashley:

Ashely Pitcher was a true Godsend into our pregnancy, labor, and postpartum.

Ashely prioritized us, our birth plan, and our values. She helped us get educated and face our birth fears as we mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually prepared for birth and postpartum as first time parents.

We truly felt a personalized, loving nourishment during pregnancy and beyond. She would either check in on phones or come over. She cared about and equally valued my husband, because my husband's role in the birth was very important to me.

In my labor, Ashley was ready to go at any moment. She set up our environment, protected and guarded my birth space and birth plan, and helped me push through the most painful and hardest hours of my life. One of the things I mentioned is that I wanted to have a romantic and intimate birth with my husband. I truly wanted my baby to be born into love. Ashley respected our space and gave gentle guidance on different positions or ideas.

I asked for photos and videos to be taken throughout the experience and I watch and look at them every single day because it was legitimately the best day of my life.

I still can't believe that I achieved an unmedicated hospital birth. I wasn't even attached to a saline lock and Ashley made sure that whatever I put in my Birth Plan was respected. Without Ashley, I don't think I could have done it. From the education and support from the start of my pregnancy to the guidance and love in postpartum. Ashley was an angel sent to us to help me gain the confidence in my body and deliver our baby girl the exact way that we dreamed of. She made what seemed impossible reality.
