Had the pleasure to have Alyssa as our DOULA agent. She was absolutely helpful and thoughtful with my wife and baby daughter prior to labor, at labor and postpartum. She is very knowledgeable, kind and supportive. She visited my wife at home and volunteered to assist with the housekeeping. She gave honest advice on everything we asked her. I wish her all the best and I definitely recommend her

I am writing this after 3 days of c section postpartum. I cannot stress enough when I say this but just close your eyes and hire Alyssa as your doula. she is on top of the information, has best interest for you, organized and so much knowledgeable in this field. I feel blessed and lucky that I hired her as my doula and if it wasn't for advocating for my health, I wouldn't be able to birth my beautiful baby girl. As a first time mom I had no idea what I was going to go through, Alyssa walked me through every single struggle and helped me fight all the fears I have about child birth and whole process. hands down one of the best decision I have made that I got her as my doula. she's truly the best!

I can’t say enough great things about Alyssa. I did a lot of research before I reached out to birth doulas I thought she would be a great fit. Alyssa is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate and gracefully direct. When it was finally go time she took great care of my partner and I. She communicated well with the hospital staff and made sure our birth plan and overall health of the baby and I were the main focus. Regarding postpartum care she’s been amazing! I’m a person who likes space and independence. She checks in on me and baby regularly without being overbearing and I love that. I will be recommending Alyssa to anyone who is considering a birth doula!

Alyssa is incredibly kind. I couldn't have asked for a better doula. Her presence and affect were so gentle and reassuring. She anticipated my needs as well as my partner's through the whole experience. She predicted thingsi could not have expected and helped me handle the sudden changes to keep me and my baby safe and as close to our birth plan as possible given the complications. I'm so grateful. Her expertise is beyond measure. I can't thank her enough. It was so meaningful and emotional and Alyssa was here for it. We will never forget how she made us feel! I just can't imagine going through all that without her! Thank you, Alyssa!

Alyssa was an amazing support throughout our entire birth journey. Her calm, experienced presence helped put me at ease, and she was there for us every step of the way. One of the highlights was how she captured beautiful photos and videos during the birth—moments we’ll treasure forever.
Her care didn’t stop there. The postpartum support and follow-ups were incredibly helpful, and it was clear she truly cares about her clients. I’m so grateful for her guidance and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate doula.

Alyssa was an incredible birth doula! Her soothing energy and calming presence made a world of difference during my labor. She provided unwavering support, guidance, and comfort, helping me feel at ease every step of the way. I can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled doula!

I gave birth to my first baby on Oct. 1st 2024 with the wonderful help of Alyssa! I truly believe had she not been there I would not have had the healthy delivery of my dreams. I was being pressured to make certain decisions along the way by nurses and staff, but Alyssa helped me calmly consider my options and advocate for me and my baby! Her guidance, support, and overall good nature quickly made her feel a part of our family! I can't recommend her enough! Alyssa is incredible! I have a trauma background and Alyssa helped validate and empower me through the entire birth experience. She also captured beautiful memories during and after the delivery! 10/10 recommend

I honestly wasn’t planning to get a doula but when I was offered the opportunity to afford one as a baby shower gift, I figured why not. I really didn’t have many expectations because I get way too stressed when I read too much into things so I just planned to go with the flow. Alyssa answered all of the questions I didn’t even know I had. You can really tell she has so much knowledge and passion for her patients and their babies. As the pregnancy went along (this was my second labor and delivery) I totally just tuned out my own needs as I was busy with life and work, but Alyssa was still on it, following along with the term of my pregnancy and asking specific and calculated questions to anticipate my needs. She was professional with the doctors, and took initiative being the best bedside advocate to get things done the way I had visioned them while also not stepping on the doctors toes. She is wonderful and I will definitely use her again if u have another baby and for someone as meticulously decisive as I am, I am happy to say I will be recommending Alyssa to my own sisters and all of my friends and family because I know she will take good care of them.

Choosing Alyssa as my birth doula was one of the best decisions I made while pregnant! As a first-time mom, I was both excited and anxious about the birth of my baby. Before labor, Alyssa and I met to discuss my birth plan. Her knowledge and genuine care put me at ease immediately. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answer my questions, and help me develop a birth plan that felt right for me. During labor, Alyssa was an incredible asset; her calming presence and reassuring words helped me navigate each contraction with confidence. She provided physical support when I needed it most and encouraging words when I felt exhausted. Alyssa’s ability to confidently recommend new positions and assist with labor as it progressed truly made labor easier. She was attentive to my physical needs and was able to adapt when my labor progressed (or didn't progress) in unexpected ways. After the birth, Alyssa continued to provide invaluable support. She photographed and filmed our newborn's first moments of life which are some of my most cherished memories now. I'm so grateful she was there to capture those precious first moments with her artful photography skills. Postpartum, she also helped me adjust to life with my newborn. I cannot recommend Alyssa enough to any expecting mom. Her passion, dedication, and compassion make her an exceptional birth doula! I will definitely be contacting her again for my next child's birth! Thank you, Alyssa, for being there for me during the most important moment of my life!
