Cj was a great help to me and my fiancee during pregnancy! She gave us a lot of prenatal education and resources and always made sure we felt comfortable with everything that was happening when we were at the hospital. I'm rly happy she was there for our birth.

My wife and I had the most incredible experience with CJ Thorp. She brought such calm, care, and confidence to our journey. Her support during labor was beyond what we could have imagined, offering both physical help and emotional reassurance for my wife—and for me as a first-time dad. She empowered us with her expertise and kindness every step of the way. We couldn’t have done it without her, and we’ll forever be grateful. Highly recommend her to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and truly dedicated doula!

My first birth experience resulted in a c section because I had placenta previa. It was not ideal, but it was safe for my baby and I. This is my second birth and when I found out I didn't have previa and was a candidate for a TOLAC (trial of birth after cesarean), I immediately interviewed doulas. I chose CJ because she showed me that she was knowledgeable, sensitive to my needs, warm and friendly. She helped calm my anxiety about natural birth and prepare me for the experience by discussing my expectations and answering my questions. On the day of, she drove me to the hospital, supported my decisions, encouraged my spirit and reassured my gut when I felt an option was not right for me. She was instrumental in allowing me to have the vaginal birth that I wanted. I had a successful VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) and all the photos for remember the unforgettable event. She followed up with me several times during postpartum to provide some support, it was really nice to have someone understanding to talk to. I would recommend CJ to any first time, second time or third time mom. She's very sweet, respectful and reliable.

CJ was a game changer for my partner and me in the first weeks postpartum. Her help made everything easier, and let us get more rest and more time with our new baby. She is patient, easy to talk to, understanding, and kind. Highly recommended!

One of the most patient, comfortable nicest person to be around ..... Cj is not only my sister-in-law , but my best friend who helped me out during my child's birth ! She held my hand with every contraction , supported me with every word she said to me .... rubbed me when I felt like I couldn't any more . Fed me when I wasn't able to . The best doula . Cj helped me a lot with stuff I wasn't well informed about such as . Planing my birth , calling places , preparing myself . Knowing the difference between contractions. Such a great person ! definitely recommend !!! Breastfeeding was one of the other things she helped me inform myself about too . I was a first time mom In need of help & attention . This was my second child birth & I was so ready for it ! Cj made sure the nurses gave me what I needed & asked for to my comfort & my baby's  ?? I appreciate Cjs work & the love she has of it.
