Where do I start?! Mallory is an incredible human being and an amazing doula! She is so kind, patient, thoughtful, empathetic, and full of wisdom. I literally don't think my birth would've gone the way it did if it wasn't for her support and encouragement. From our first time meeting when I was early along in pregnancy all the way through postpartum, she was there for me every step of the way! She has so much knowledge and experience when it comes to pregnancy, labor, and birth. I learned a lot from her and she was so patient with all my questions. She shared resources with me whenever I was trying to make a decision about something and never pressured me to lean a certain way. She also showed me different moves and exercises I could do throughout pregnancy and even labor. She supported my husband too and empowered us! She would share information and support whatever we decided. I loved that! 

I knew from the day I found out I was pregnant that I wanted a doula by my side since pregnancy and birth were always a little fear I had! I truly believe God placed her in my life for a reason because all the way through my birth, I felt calm and didn't worry like I thought I would. I just felt at ease! My birth was an amazing experience because she prepared me, she worked close with me, and was there for me every step of the way! I can't thank her enough for everything she did for me these last 9-10 months! Thank you Mallory! We love you!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mallory as my doula for a home birth at the end of October (2022). From the very beginning, I knew I had made the right choice in hiring her.

Mallory was incredibly resourceful and creative during my pregnancy. She did an unforgetful exercise to prepare my body and mind for labor and delivery. Laying out the cards and becoming even more clear on our non-negotiables was the best! She was committed to being by my side throughout the entire process, which ended up being a very long, 81 hours!

Throughout labor and delivery, Mallory was extremely prepared and supportive. She helped me find different positions to ease the pain and was always ready to help support the ideas I had. She also provided real-time support for me and my husband and made sure we were both comfortable when timely decisions were being made. She truly went above and beyond to support us as a family to get the birth we wanted in the best way possible.

Not only did Mallory support us through the birth, but she has now become a forever part of our community, family, and our son's life. Even after the birth, she was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had and made sure we were all adjusting well.

I couldn't have asked for a better doula to help me through my first birthing experience. Mallory was an invaluable asset, and I would highly recommend her to any expecting parent(s). She is an incredibly caring and compassionate person, and her skills and experience as a doula are second to none. I am forever grateful for the support she provided during one of the most important moments of my life.

I was very anxious about child birth so about halfway through pregnancy, my husband and friends suggested that I find a doula to work with. We started our research and found Mallory! We interviewed others but knew after our first meeting, that Mallory was right for our birth team. 
I immediately felt supported and learned so much just from our initial conversation. She helped me makes decisions I had been avoiding (or not even considering) which allowed me to feel empowered as we got closer to giving birth.

I was induced a couple of days before my guess date and ended up in the hospital for almost 2 days before our daughter was born. Mallory was at the ready the entire time and made us feel very supported. She helped through contractions with some body work and made the hospital room a warm and comforting place. She was extremely encouraging during the pushing phase and made sure my needs were being met. Everything from a few "forbidden" snacks to cool wash cloths soaked in peppermint on my forehead and endless verbal encouragement, she was an integral part of our birth team. I am so thankful she was there.

Mallory was extraordinary!

As a first time mom I felt nervous of this experience and even though I hired her late through pregnancy she was just what I needed and more. 
On the day of delivery she got right into action doing counter pressures on my back, helping me breathe through my contractions, encouraging me that I'm doing wonderful(and so much more) and as contractions were increasing she was there with me the whole time. She kept helping me with counter pressures on my back, reminding me how I'm supposed to breathe so my body is can work with labor and not against it. There were moments where I wanted to give up but she encouraged me, reminded me what was all this pain bringing. And thanks to her I have my baby boy with me in my arms. Words can't even describe how valuable her presence was in that day. 
Thank you for all you did in that room for me and baby! We are extremely thankful.
