Chelsea has been a tremendous help for our family. Her care and attention to our daughter have been exceptional, providing a calm and nurturing presence that has allowed us to rest easy. Beyond her outstanding care for our baby, Chelsea has been an invaluable source of emotional support for us as new parents. Her compassionate guidance and reassuring demeanor have truly made a difference.

Chelsea was absolutely amazing. From the moment she entered our home her warmth, encouragement, confidence, sensitivity, intuition and empathy made it seem like a visit from an old trusted friend. She slipped seamlessly into the labor and birthing process, filling the gaps that I hadn’t been able to anticipate, giving us her undivided and unwavering attention. I cant imagine going through this without her. She is a very special person and we will love her forever. Thank you thank you thank you until the end of time!

Chelsea was especially helpful with working with my breathing during contractions. She never left my side, encouraged me to look in her eyes, breathed with me and even made the same sounds with me. I found this extremely validating as well as absolutely essential for me to stay present during the labor and not spin out of control. Her presence was calm and confident, and she was extremely comfortable in our home, even though she’d never been there before. I really appreciated the space she gave to me and my partner at times, and I so appreciated the support she provided my partner—encouraging him to eat and giving him time to set up the birth pool. We cannot imagine the same successful birth outcome without her presence. We feel so fortunate to have met Chelsea!
