Here is what a client named Ebony Redd has to say about working with Briana:

Hello, This was my first pregnancy and of course it was a lot of questions and scares. Make it even worse I was bed written most of first and second trimester. Briana was godsent through the entire process. First of all she was my doula pro bono! Which was an automatic blessing. Secondly, she came to me by seeing my post on Facebook. She said how she had been drawn to help me that it was just on her heart. Sis came through!!! We had sessions where she showed me how to exercise with the ball and without it. She showed my partner how to comfort me during labor what things to look for, what questions to ask. Like there wasn't a ground we didn't cover. She showed me how to feed the baby, what to feed the baby, pointers on how to start off feeding  because I was breastfeeding. She made comfortable the entire process. It was nights I had pains to where I couldn't take it and she motivated me on how strong I was talked me through it. Educated me on what I was experiencing. Like she was just there!!! Every step of the way. It would be days she'd be in my home area and would call to see if home to stop by just checking on me and the baby. Like we built a bond. It was beautiful. When it came time for labor sis was  clutch!!!! She was there massaging me, helping with breathing techniques, propping me up, engaging with the dr and nurses on what I wanted. Like I was out of it and sis stepped up and did what needed to be done. My active labor was literally 6 minutes my baby boy was out. I'm forever grateful for my now sister. I would highly recommend her services. She's genuine and very knowledgeable and nurturing. You'll be in amazing hands. ??

Here is what a client named Irfan Choudhry has to say about working with Shannon:

My wife introduced me to Shannon. Learning that she was a Muslim doula gave me the confidence that she would understand our values. I then talked to Shannon myself to express my hesitations and our expectations. She listened and acknowledged what we wanted from the birthing process. She explained what she does, seeking our input and helping us feel comfortable with her service. We then met for our 1st official meeting where she proposed a birth plan, including our wishes and desires on how we would like to approach the birth.  My wife went into early labor within a few days. I had just gotten home from my overnight shift at the hospital and couldn’t make it to the hospital. Shannon was by my wife’s side in no time. When I showed up I was met with a soothing melody of Quranic verses playing on the portable speaker next to my wife’s bed. The lights were dim and flowers were abundant. It seemed like Shannon had manifested a soothing experience in the hospital room! I met Shannon by my wife’s side helping her use the birth and peanut balls in the room. She massaged her back and walked with her to and from the bathroom. My wife had a strong contraction while in the bathroom and Shannon was there helping her through it. She advocated for us when the doctors were making haste decisions and made sure that we understood what was happening so that we could make informed decisions. Even as a physician, I was not in the right head space at the time to think clearly but Shannon made sure we understood what was happening. After the delivery, she stayed for a while to help my wife with the latching process and to provide us with some much needed comfort. When she left I realized how much of a helping hand Shannon had been to us. Absolutely worth every penny. Not only did her calm demeanor keep us from getting overwhelmed, her soothing touch towards my wife put her at ease throughout the whole process as well. Will book her for our next delivery!

Here is what a client named Dominika Sledz has to say about working with Patrycja (Patty):

Choosing Patty as our doula for our second child was a no-brainer for my husband and I. Patty is extremely knowledgeable and all things regarding pregnancy and labor, and even helped me with some tips regarding early postpartum and newborn stages. During the days leading up to my labor, Patty and I kept in touch and she was extremely quick to respond to all my messages as well as my husbands messages. On the evening of my labor, Patty helped me with some movement tips as well as activities I should be doing in order to get baby in the correct position for labor to proceed well. Throughout my entire pregnancy, and specifically during my labor, Patty was extremely calm, and very positive. She was always giving me positive affirmations, and continuing to remind me that I was built for labor, and I was built to bring this baby into the world. I am so grateful for Patty's knowledge on labor and how things can progress. Her recommendations helped our baby boy get into the right position and be born safely and peacefully at home. Patty's photography skill is truly unmatched as well. I'm so grateful that she was able to take photos during her birth, because these are memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life. Not only is Patty, extremely passionate and professional but for us, she's truly become a close friend and a part of our family, as she's been a part of the birth of both of our sons.
