I cannot recommend Heather Lee enough. From the moment I decided to have her as my doula for my very first birth, I knew I had made the right choice. My birth experience was extremely long, and I needed someone I could trust completely—someone who would make me feel safe and comfortable through every step. Heather Lee was all that and more.

Before the birth, she provided thoughtful guidance and support that made me and the hubs feel prepared and empowered. During labor, her calm presence and unwavering care were like an anchor for me as she guided and supported my husband in the birth we had dreamed of having together, soft, and filled with love. She emanates love in such a profound and comforting way that it truly changes the energy in the room. I feel so grateful to simply know her, let alone have had her as my doula. 

Even after the birth, Heather went above and beyond to ensure that I was supported both emotionally and physically. She is the kind of person who pours her big glowing heart into her work, and it shows in everything she does.

If you are looking for someone who will love, support, and guide you with genuine care and compassion, Heather Lee is your girl!

The instant we met Heather we had a connection with her, she gave off the most calming and soothing vibes and that is something we were looking for in Doula.  As soon as we got to chatting my husband and I gave each other the "look" and both knew she was the one, she was knowledgeable, friendly, funny and of course again gave us the calming, everything is going to be ok feeling. We hired Heather so happily and began our visits, we felt so comfortable to have her in our home, like welcoming back a long time friend and she easily answered all our questions and if she didn't know she would get back to us with the answer which was very helpful.  With her help most of our worries melted away and we felt very informed and support in our journey to parenthood.  She gave us great techniques for labouring and crafted us a fantastic birth plan, she even went over lots of things we never ever thought to talk about which was great.  Unfortunately when the time came I had to have an emergency C-section and things didn't go as planned.  Heather was so supportive, whatever we needed she was there and willing to step in as much or as little as we wanted her.  We can't recommend her enough not only as a Doula but as a person! I feel like we have made a life long friend and even almost 2 weeks out she still checks to see what need, recommendations on new born photographers, she is on it, questions on belly binding, Heathers got all the info.  We truly love her and are so thankful she helped us through this journey!! Heather stans for life over here. ♥?

I hired Heather on as my doula for my natural birth for my 2nd child, this was my first natural birth and really wanted the extra support from a doula as well a my midwives.  Heather exceeded all expecations and was absolutely wonderful to work with. She was very on top of commuication and scheduling our appts and her contract was straight forward and consise.  Heather's personality was what made us hire her on, she aligned with us, very professional, light hearted and very nurturing!  When it came to the day of the birth she arrived in a prompt manner and immediatley jumped right in to take care of me and assess the situation. I wasn't able to labor long at home so we all drove to the birth center and she was with me the entire time so my husband could take care of getting our bags up stairs etc. She stayed by my side the entire time through the birth and comforted me by reminding me to breath and other things we had talked about during our initial meetings. After the birth she was there if we needed anything as well gave us time to bond.  She checked in with me during the day and throughout the week to make sure myself and the baby were doing ok. She made a postpartum visit and even brought me a heatpack. I would 110% recommened Heather as your doula if you are looking for one in the Boise/Nampa area. She exceeded our expecations and I think she will exceed yours!

Heather made my pregnancy and birth experience so much easier. She helped my mental health a lot during the pregnancy. She also was great at letting me know my options for birth. During my birth she helped make me comfortable and helped me feel less pain.  She was with me when I was in labor and during the birth, she made me feel very comfortable and I had a lovely birth experience.

You know when you meet someone and instantly know they're going to be a special part of your life? That's how I felt when I met Heather. It was serendipitous, and when I found out she was a doula, I knew she came into my life for a reason, and I (of course) hired her. Heather guided us to the most educational and truly helpful birth classes; she helped us understand pros and cons of so many birth aspects and create a clear and meaningful birth plan; and, most importantly, was a HERO during the arrival of our first baby. He came 4 weeks early. Heather kept us calm, labored with us, was attentive not only to me but also to my husband during the birth so that he was involved and aware, and literally held my hand when I needed her. Her presence during the birth of our baby boy made the entire experience so much more magical than it otherwise would have been. She was calm, attentive, aware, and is overall one of the kindest and purest humans you'll ever get to meet. She is absolutely the person I would want in the delivery room with me again. Hiring Heather made our birth experience incredible. Thank you for being you, Heather. ??

It's hard to start describing how important Heather was during the birth of our child. This is our first child, and even though we read many books and my wife is a trained doula, Heather's support was incredibly valuable. She anticipated my wife's needs, suggesting new and different labor poses, offering pain management strategies, and supporting her throughout the entire process. Sometimes something as simple as reminding someone to drink water can make a huge difference!

It is also really important that Heather was there for me as a non-birthing partner. Heather allow me to have some time to take care of myself, reminding me of things we had planned for, and supporting me through an experience that I had never experienced before. And she also took incredible photos on my phone.

Overall, my wife and I felt incredibly supported throughout the entire process, from the pre-natal visits, to her texts checking in, to laboring at home, and finally through labor and birth.

I think everyone going through birth should have a Doula on their side and Heather is an amazing one. Thank you, Heather!

Heather was an amazing Doula for my husband and myself. When my labor was progressing faster than I expected she got to our house very quickly in the middle of the night and immediately started offering support for both of us. When we arrived at the hospital I was already very much in active labor and focused on the contractions. I knew that Heather was there for me, through her calm presence, physical touch and the way she supported my husband. When it came time to push she was right by my side, and also was able to take some amazing videos and photos that are so special to us now. She kept reminding me to breathe down into my belly, and always had water for me when I needed it. After the birth she stayed until we felt comfortable being around, helping me with my first latch and also bringing my placenta back to my home. 

I absolutely recommend Heather as a Doula for you. She is kind, supportive, very calm, and all around helps everyone feel at ease. My husband and I are so happy she was us, she provided the perfect balance of space and support.

Heather was an absolute life saver. Her prenatal visits were super helpful in making me feel supported and prepared. I was comfortable talking with her as things came up that I was nervous or unsure about. She took the initiative to help me navigate tough decisions I wasn't sure how I wanted to handle.  She stayed in great communication with me as labor started and showed up super quickly after I was ready for her. She got thrown into the fire after my labor progressed extremely quickly immediately after she showed up and she helped me feel so supported and guide me through it. I tell everyone that if it wasn't for her I would have never made it to the birth center in time for my baby's delivery because of how quickly things progressed. She was able to stay calm and promt me in the right direction throughout the chaos and that was exactly what I needed. Truly worth every penny and I would recommend her to anyone. ??

My doula was out of town when my water broke early so Heather was my back up so we didn't get to meet until I was in labor! But her easygoing personality and helpfulness was extremely comforting. She was with me through nearly 3 hours of labor and helped me get through contractions when the epidural stopped helping the pain. She kept in contact with my family and made sure I felt comfortable with the decision to have a c section when my doctor told me baby wasn't coming down anymore and made sure she got my placenta for encapsulation after I delivered. She was extremely easy to talk to and I'm so happy she was able to be there for me when I needed her!

Heather left our house after our post partum check in and my husband quipped, “Heather was my favorite part of the birth.” I think that about sums up our experience with Heather. As first time parents we didn’t know what to expect. I wanted a doula as support during my hopeful natural birth but also as support for my husband.

From the beginning, Heather was extremely professional. She was punctual and came prepared.  As a mother herself she has a very nurturing spirit about her. I appreciated her periodic check ins over the course of my pregnancy. I felt very supported and cared after.

Our birth went completely the opposite of how I prepared and envisioned. Instead of a birth center/possible home birth I ended up at the hospital with an epidural. I had not prepared for that route and was so grateful for Heather’s presence. She asked the questions I wasn’t prepared to ask and was knowledgeable support. I didn’t feel like any procedure was forced on me and that I had full understanding of everything I gave consent to with Heather’s help.

Heather played a huge role in the joyful and peaceful birth for which we had been praying. We are so grateful for her and we couldn’t be happier with our decision to hire her as our doula. Thank you Heather!!

We loved having Heather Lee for our doula. We can't imagine our birth without her.My husband and I were unsure of what to expect as we were having our first baby. While I was laboring, she had many ideas of different things to do to help me progress and manage pain. My labor was much longer than expected and Heather went above and beyond. 

After the birth, Heather checked in on us to see how we were doing. I felt comfortable asking questions or for her advice. Heather was so quick to respond to text messages. It was so comforting postpartum, knowing that I could reach out if I needed anything. Her service was so amazing, we have mentioned it to all our friends. We recommend her to anyone and everyone.

We highly recommend Heather as your birth doula! My husband and I did not have a doula when our first daughter was born, and we knew we wanted one for our son's birth. Little did we know how significant having Heather with us would be! My second birth was much harder and longer, and because of Heather and my husband's team effort during very unexpected back labor, I was able to keep going. She was with me during every stage of labor, including at our home and at the birth center and gave my husband the opportunity to keep me hydrated, fed and helping me mentally and emotionally, while she provided the physical support. During the very intense parts of labor when I wanted to give up and felt defeated, she continued to remind me that I was one contraction closer to meeting my son. She also helped me breath through the pushing so that my husband could be on the other end to catch our son!

Heather not only provided the support for the big event, but also during my pregnancy. She attended a prenatal appointment with me where she got to know my midwife and see the birthing suite. Heather also came to our home twice and practiced with us comfort measures for each stage of labor. She took time to listen to what was important to us as we thought about my birth experience, and how she could come alongside us. She also has continued to check in with me almost daily to see how postpardum recovery is and how our son is doing. 

We are so grateful for the support we received from Heather. She respects and values what is important to you through your pregnancy and birth, and will be an amazing support person during a life event you will always have close to your heart.

Heather is so wonderful to work with! She is so organized, professional, and personable. The skills that she taught me helped make the birthing experience much more manageable. Even though she wasn't able to attend my birth in person due to COVID restrictions, I was so glad to have her help leading up to the delivery.
