Natalie was a god send, not only in the physical help she provided, but encouraging words and motivation as well! She was there with me every step of the way and I felt comfortable going to her with questions and advice. I truly feel she helped me not only in the birth, but in preparation as well. She was a true blessing and my husband and I are very grateful for her!

Natalie goes above and beyond! She has a beautifully sweet and caring soul and we were truly blessed to have her as our doula. As a first time mom, I had many questions throughout my pregnancy and she shared her expertise whenever needed. When it came to making a birth plan, Natalie helped with all my inquiries. I planned on having an all natural hospital birth which thankfully went smoothly and according to plan! Being able to text her in the early labor stages eased my mind. At the hospital, she was amazing at reminding me to breathe, massaging my back, suggesting walks, and simply encouraging me along the way! She had this awesome scarf called a Rebozo which she held around my belly and lifted while I was on all fours- such relief that I would’ve never thought of! I had gotten very nauseous and she pulled out a kit of essential oils for me to breathe in. Natalie is so thoughtful and calming. I honestly don’t know how my birth would’ve been without her presence. There are some photos she captured of the first time I held my son and when my husband cut the cord that I treasure. I didn’t think to ask her to take those photos, but she knew how much those would mean to me before I did. After we were settled at home, she brought us a home cooked meal of chicken soup, fresh baked bread and cookies! She has a true heart for God and carries that into everything she does. I can’t suggest her enough! Especially if you choose to have a hospital birth, nurses come and go but Natalie is always there for you! ??

Natalie was such a calming presence during the birth of my last baby. She was available during my pregnancy for any questions and helped me navigate a few different situations. During birth she was so calming and helped me control my labor pain through natural measures. After our sons birth, Natalie came to visit me and baby at my home. She brought the sweetest care package for me and even brought something for the baby and proud big siblings. I can not recommend her enough!

I hired Natalie less than a week before giving birth to my daughter, and I'm so glad I did! Especially because my daughter was premature, so our planned home birth became a hospital birth, and we hadn't fully prepared yet. Natalie gave great advice over text when I was in early labor at home. And then when we were at the hospital, I really appreciated the counter pressure on my back, as I was experiencing back labor. I know my husband also appreciated having her there to help him know how he could help me, and help him understand what was going on in the immediate postpartum period when our daughter was taken to the NICU and I had to stay in the delivery room. 
Natalie followed up with us by text during our NICU stay. Then when we came home she came to our home for a postpartum visit, and brought a much-appreciated meal! I really appreciated getting to talk with her about my birth experience and have her fill in some of the gaps in my mind. Although this birth didn't go as I planned, Natalie made it better, and I'm very thankful that she was there.
