I had the incredible fortune of meeting Isylah less than two weeks before my due date, which turned out to be 16 days sooner than expected. As a mother having my second child two decades after my first, I was filled with a crazy amount of anxiety. The uncertainty of being induced because the doctors couldn't determine when my water broke only added to my nervousness. Her calming presence and reassuring words throughout that process was exactly what I needed.

From the moment I met Isylah, she made me feel at ease. She offered constant encouragement, assuring me that everything would be okay. Her support was a blessing during my labor and has continued to be so for the past two months since giving birth.

She has been a voice of reason, a source of encouragement, and a calm in the midst of a temporary storm. Her genuine care for the families she serves is evident in everything she does. Personal POV: This isn't just a job for her; she really does care about the well-being of those she supports. I feel like I have gained a big sister for life, and I am beyond grateful for her. 

Isylah... I appreciate you!

Isylah was an incredible advocate during my hospital delivery. She became my voice when I felt vulnerable and spoke up for me when I couldn’t. Her emotional and physical support was invaluable—she helped me find comfortable positions and encouraged movements that eased my labor.

She also went above and beyond in helping me create my birth plan, taking the time to educate me on important details I might not have known as a first-time mom. Her guidance made me feel confident and prepared. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better partner in my birth experience.

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!
