My experience with this Doula service in Kamloops BC was amazing. I attended the prenatal classes with Vanessa Mack until right before I was due. I got to the hospital after laboring at home and Vanessa was the most amazing support. I planned on a natural delivery and ended up without medication at all. So Vanessa knew the signs and allowed me to follow my own body's guidance while she gave me tips/tricks to manage the pain. I had my son on Valentines Day with my boyfriend and Vanessa by my side guiding me through the phases of giving birth. It was the most beautiful experience. I also received a photo album from Vanessa that was wonderfully put together and included gorgeous photos that I didnt expect to be able to have. Thank you Vanessa for your experience and ability to kindly guide me through nonmedicated birth so quickly and effortlessly. I would definitely use this service again when I have another pregnancy. Thank you

I was fortunate enough to receive continuous guidance & support from Vanessa throughout my first pregnancy. She was always there to answer our questions, know our choices, reassure both my partner and myself in times of worry and help us to understand the journey into parenthood. Kayla was also a bonus support through our journey ensuring we felt more at ease with our decisions or questions and be prepared for when the time came to bring our son into this world. Both very lovely, welcoming, well experienced ladies and a pleasure to work with, highly recommend their services to anyone looking for additional support with the growing of your family. Very grateful & many thanks

I highly recommend Vanessa as a doula. I had the privilege of having her co-teach my prenatal and baby class at Birth Matters and her calm presence, wisdom, experience and deep care were invaluable to us in our birth story. We then were gifted hours by family to have Vanessa as a postpartum doula for a few weeks after our son was born and it was a game changer. She would arrive, hold my son, do my dishes, fold laundry and I got to sleep the entire time! Some of the best sleep I have had in months because I knew my son was in the best hands. Her care and encouragement and practical help is one of the best gifts I was given! I could not recommend her more highly! Also, if you are looking for a way to support a friend who is giving birth soon or recently given birth I highly recommend gifting them hours with Vanessa as a postpartum doula.

To say that having Vanessa as our doula  was the best thing we could have done for our birth would be a huge understatement. It did not take long to connect with Vanessa and see her passion, care, and strength as a doula. To have Vanessa’s calm reassurance, encouragement and guidance through a difficult birth was an incredible gift to both me and my husband. She was thoughtful and kind , assuring that we were both well looked after throughout the delivery process. She took the time afterwards to debrief some big emotions with me and continues to make sure we feel supported and cared for in postpartum. Vanessa is a treasure and we can’t recommend her enough!

I have had the privilege of having Vanessa as my doula, and I couldn't be more grateful for her exceptional support. Her passion for her work makes all the difference. Vanessa is not just a doula; she is a source of comfort, knowledge, and genuine care. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a dedicated and passionate doula. Bonus, she does postpartum care!!

Vanessa is extremely helpful. I recommend her to any family needing assistance during the post partum period. Having help during this time is one of the best gifts you can give yourself to enjoy your family and new baby.
