Cassie was the best person I could have had during this experience. We met a few times before my due date. During those meetings, she was really helpful as she introduced us to the tools, knowledge and answering our 1000 questions about what would happen on the delivery day, which gave us a lot of confidence. My husband and I were expecting our first child and are not from the US so we were new to this in a new country. She went beyond and tailored her service/advice as the end of my pregnancy journey got messy ( I had a breech baby, I was planned for a C section then got induced, lots of changes in a matter of weeks)

Then I got induced, my labor lasted 48hours, she was not able to be physically with us from the beginning of my labor but she was such good help, emotional support as well and I was relieved to see her enter the delivery room. During labor we used all the tools and techniques we talked about so we knew exactly where we were heading. Delivery was tough but her support made it easier for both my husband and I.

During post partum, Cassie met us few time as well and gave us great advice again and support as we were discovering a whole new life with our newborn (and with my post partum body).

I cannot imagine how we would have managed this journey without Cassie, she was a really great fit for us.

Cassie was absolutely amazing!!! Being pregnant during the pandemic had its own set of hightened anxiety,  but actually having a baby during it?!

Cassie was readily available whenever I needed her virtually. We did multiple child birth classes and was so thorough with explaining everything to me.

When I was induced due to high blood pressure she reassured me everything was ok and helped me attmept to stick to my birth plan as much as possible. Life had other plans and ended up needing a c section due to a ruptured placenta but Cassie was with me the whole way, so I felt comforted.

She even stuck with me thru all my postpartum issues ( my sons father passed away when I was 7 -1/2 months pregnant). She monitored my emotions with compassion and empathy while just having a simple conversation and to hear "are you really ok today?", really does make all the difference. On top of that she helped me with some lactation issues I was having starting off. Needless to say, Cassie was a life saver and couldn't have done this without her!
