Ally was our incredible, giving, peaceful, easy, steady, intuitive doula.  This was our second baby and we did a homebirth with Ally.  Ally met with me in home several times as we got ready for the birth. She made me feel so confident and excited. She did a mini birth class refresh for us. She brought all kinds of tools / bouncy ball / resources and strategies for pain managment and setting a beautiful zen scene with candles, scents, music.  It was everything I could have dreamed of.  Lol And then as can happen, everything went wildly fast. Labor was basically 2.5 hours and midwife and Ally barely made it in time. We had a beautiful second daughter in our bathtub before we had time to set up the birthing pool.  Then Ally stayed and took care of us for hours. She helped me breast feed, made coffee, got snacks, helped us process the insanely fast birth and stayed around until we were totally confident and comfortable with our new babe. She came back the next week and we all talked through the birth again and celebrated together. I cannot recomend her enough as a doula. Her vibe is perfect. She's gentle yet grounded and just loves babies and kids.  Wish I could have another baby just to work with Ally again, but we're happy as a family of 4.   Definitely book Ally is you want an experienced, generous, zen, sweet, sensitive, skilled, competent doula.
