Post a testimonial for Aleecia Hodges

Aleecia is AMAZING! She is so insightful, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, kind-hearted, and patient! I am so glad I picked her to be my doula. Her expertise kept me well informed through out my pregnancy. From choosing where to deliver, to getting information about ways to care for my body through acupuncture and massage, Aleecia had an unlimited amount of researched suggestions and recommendations. Due to her amazing coaching, my baby girl was born quick and easy without any major tearing. As a first time mom, laboring with her was everything I could have ever hoped for. She kept me at ease and focused, as well as upbeat and joyous. Everyone deserves an Aleecia in their labor room!

Having Aleecia as my doula during my labor and delivery was such a wonderful experience. Aleecia made me feel cared for and supported during my laboring process, she was very communicative, motivated, supportive and helped to be advocate for me. Aleecia would go out of her way to make sure that I had what I needed in Oder to have a positive labor experience. I personally want to say that I adore her sweet and bubbly personality, I definitely recommend to have her as your doula for your labor and delivery journey! As a first time momma, Aleecia had helped me a lot by educating me on pregnancy, labor and delivery and even postpartum. She was very informative with the information she provided for me and my baby's journey.

Aleecia was such a pleasure to have by my side during such a vulnerable time. From the day I met her she was on top of things and throwing information at me left and right (all very useful). Her bubbly energy is very infectious and inviting. We met late in my pregnancy due to me just moving to town but that did not prevent her from getting all my needs met. She is very resourceful, knowledgeable and attentive. If I didn't know she had other clients I would feel like I was her only one. She was readily available and made me feel like her top priority. This was my second birth and I was praying I didn't have back labor again. Unfortunately I absolutely did have back labor! She pulled some tricks out her bag that helped me get through each contraction. The relief from her massaging and counter pressure techniques was heavenly to say the least. Aleecia listened to me and voiced my wants when I was unable to, I felt very safe and supported in her presence. I would definitely recommend her to everyone especially moms that fear they might have back labor. She felt like family but was very professional at the same time. I am very pleased with the Aleecia experience. 10/10 highly recommend ??

My experience with Aleecia was great! Although she had other clients she made it a priority to continue to check in with me and my partner throughout my pregnancy. My baby was born a week early and Aleecia was on call that whole time leading up to the delivery. When it came time to deliver she was right there supporting me and helping my delivery go as smooth as possible while also Advocating for me as a black women.

Aleecia was everything I could have asked for in a doula. She consistently checked in on me with visits all the way up until I gave birth and each visit I felt very confident that my birth was going to be a pleasant and exciting experience with her compassionate and empathetic support. She made me feel so comfortable about the birthing process and even printed out my birth plan to hand out to the nurses at the hospital because she wanted to make sure my voice was heard about how I wanted things to go. She has such a bright and positive energy and I'm very lucky I got to have her as my doula for my first baby.

I would say from the time I met Aleecia through a zoom call due to covid, she was very nice and I had a very interesting converstaion with her. From that first call, she gave me information about pregnancy and birth that I didn't know before and it was very helpful and every call I had with her after the first call made me feel more and more confident about labor and delivery before it came. She let me know my rights during labor and delivery beforehand and she kept me educated on the risks and pros and cons on everything. When I was in labor, she was very encouraging and when I was pushing for hours and was making no progress and i got very discouraged she was still very supportive and tried to encourage me along with my fiance'. Because of them, I was able to push for another hour after I was told that i wasnt making any progress. Overall, I'd recommend her to anyone I know in the future that might need or want a doula there with them. I do plan on having more kids in the future and I'd want her to be my doula again.
