This being my first pregnancy I didn't really know what to expect or what I was looking for in a midwife or Doula. All I know is that I wanted someone that would support my decisions, to be extra help in the delivery room, be an advocate for me when I wasn't able to speak for myself, and to inform me of things that I didn't know. Isylah did all of those things and then some. She exceeded all of my expectations. Not only is she a kind and gentle soul, but she is powerful and knowledgeable. I was in labor for a long time and when Isylah came, she asked the questions neither I or my partner thought to ask. She tried very hard to stick to my birth plan because it was important to me whilst also keeping me and my baby safe. When it came time to make the decision on how I would deliver, it was her support that helped me realize that I was doing the right thing and the safe thing for me and my baby in that moment. She made me feel heard in a stressful and scary situation. I am 2 weeks post partum currently and she checks in with me regularly and answers any and all questions I have. As an anxious first time mom, she is a godsend. I am very grateful for Isylah.

Our family is eternally grateful for Isylah's expertise and guidance as we welcomed our first child this year. She entered into our life with compassion, grace and most of all a profound willingness to support our family holistically. We found comfort in her many years of experience working with infants (specifically newborns) both from personal and professional experience. We cannot thank her enough!

Isylah was an absolute gift to our family. She put us all at ease as soon as we met her and each member of our household felt well taken care of and in good hands. As a mom, I slept deeply knowing that my new son was being so gently and lovingly cared for. We are so grateful to Isylah and can't wait until we have our next child so that we can be with her again!
