Lexi was a fantastic support during my last trimester and labor! We could always feel her kindness, compassion, and excitement for the work she does. She was a wealth of knowledge and so incredibly helpful in creating the best conditions for the birth experience that you want. The quality that stands out to me most about how Lexi works is how strong of an advocate she is. Labor and delivery is a very vulnerable time, and my biggest concern during the process was being dismissed or ignored by healthcare providers. We called Lexi our "guard dog," as she was always checking in, speaking to nurses for us to clarify things and make sure we understood everything, and advocating for us when we weren't sure about how to navigate something. I can't recommend her enough, hire her!

Lexi is well informed and always had resources on hand for any and all of my questions along the way.

She was never more than a text or call away with lots of links, books, and information, or plenty of heartfelt support whenever I needed it.

Super enthusiastic and outgoing, she helped me navigate through all my concerns and was a steadfast hand holder when I needed her. ????

Our experience with Lexi was truly exceptional. Throughout a long birth, she provided unwavering support, offering both comfort and expert guidance. Her optimistic demeanor and deep knowledge of the birthing process made us feel safe and reassured every step of the way. Lexi was always attentive to our needs, providing encouragement and practical suggestions that helped us stay focused. Her presence was a source of immense comfort during a time of uncertainty, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We highly recommend Lexi to anyone seeking compassionate and skilled care.

I was matched with Lexi Vass for my first pregnancy/birth and it was amazing. She always answered any/all of my questions, even the dumb ones, that I had and relayed any and all information that the hospital said to us in a simplified but honest way. She made it comfortable and calm (environment) while also joking around with me and my husband. She let me "take control" meaning that I could choose what felt right for me/birth plan/my birthing experience while supporting me/advocating for me but also giving me information to help me come to a decision. She advocated for me from the start of my labour until the end (about 48 hours) and I really couldn't have done it without her.

Lexi was a great addition to our birthing experience. This was our first child and I knew I had a lot to learn especially when I came to supporting my wife during labor. Lexi came to our house and walked us through all the scenarios and details that we might come across during labor and I felt at ease when she left. She wasn’t only there for my wife but she was also there to guide me. When my wife ended up having a c section, she waited with me and let me know exactly what was happening and what to expect when I went in. We feel so lucky to have had Lexi’s expertise throughout this whole experience and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!

Lexi was an incredible support for us through my pregnancy as well as postpartum.  She is extremely knowledgeable which helped us make the best decisions for the birth of our son. Lexi came to our house before our son was born to talk about preferences, she helped us install our car seat, and set me up for huge success with breast feeding. Lexi was available whenever we needed her via text or phone call and she never made us feel like our decisions were anything but our own. She encouraged me to ask questions and advocate for myself during labor and was also a huge support for my husband. I’m grateful every day that I had her with me through it all. I tell every pregnant person I know that they need a doula and Lexi is one of the best! We were so lucky to have her on our team!

We loved Lexi and cannot recommend her enough as a doula!! We really appreciated her considered, science-based approach and support as we were going through the birth of our first son. She was there with us when we had questions in the weeks leading up to the birth and her intimate knowledge of the hospital we were to give birth at gave us confidence that we were in great hands. When our son had issues breathing when he was born and had to whisked away, Lexi was with me every step of the way, breaking down what was happening and assuring me that he would be okay. I cannot imagine that moment without her. 

She was also so amazing post-partum, even going so far as to lend us a breast pump when I was having some struggles getting my milk in. We loved her enthusiasm and ability to snap into action mode when required. Truly cannot recommend her enough, we love Lexi and so glad she could be such an integral part of our birth story.

I had a lovely experience with Lexi as my Doula.  We clicked right away, she is personable, kind and has a great sense of humour.  She was incredibly supportive during my very difficult 3rd trimester, post C-section and post pregnancy.  Was a wealth of knowledge and reassurance - the birth preferences work was excellent.  She filled an important gap in my care which really made all the difference for me, and my husband too. Attentive and understanding, responsive and non-judgemental.  She is confident in what she does, the midwives and hospital staff all know her and have great things to say about her as well. I would absolutely recommend Lexi and should I have future children would be seeking her support again.

Lexi was our doula for my natural childbirth experience. She really took the time to get to know my husband and I, to the point that she would be able to communicate for me in a healthcare setting with my complete trust in her. My goal was to (mostly) labor at home, and give birth naturally. When we arrived to the hospital I was 9 cm dilated and my daughter was born shortly after. Lexi knew based on my presentation when to go to the hospital. She prevented a lot of discomfort that I would have experienced by laboring in the hospital. If you are looking for someone who is absolutely selfless and willing to stand up for you when you are most vulnerable, Lexi is your girl!

I Love Lexi!

I am so grateful for everything she did during my labor. Despite my nervousness, her words always had a calming effect on me. We went through our birth plan together, and she stayed with me the whole night, counting my contractions and comforting me. It's truly difficult to express just how much her support meant to me. She is incredibly professional and well-managed, so I didn't have to worry about a thing when we arrived at the hospital. She even came and visited me to check in on me after my child's birth. I'll always remember the laughter we shared, even during all the chaos. Her positive energy was contagious and made the entire experience feel more manageable.

You were more than a doula for me, Lexi. Thank you for being you! Your friendship and support mean a lot to me, and I will always cherish the memories we created together!!
