I hired Isabel from doulamatch for my birth last October, and I couldn't imagine the experience without her! Isabel was friendly, professional and really respectful my preferences while supporting me before, during, and after birth. 

After I first contacted Isabel, she came to my home to meet me and my husband. We had two meetings prior to labour where she was really organised with questionnaires and information covering things I hadn't considered. We also met her backup doula in case we needed to use a backup in a pinch. When in labour, Isabel came to the hospital and stayed with us for about 16 hours. Her massage, breathing techniques and support considering further intervention was invaluable. Around 6-8 weeks post partum, we had a debrief on the experience which I found really helpful as I could not remember a lot of labour. Her package included a 4-hour post partum session which was great. 

Overall, I would recommend Isabel to any expecting family in the Southern California area. She was responsive and a great communicator. Isabel had recently begun working as a doula before my birth, however you could not tell! She was so knowledgeable and great with out baby from years of experience as a nanny.

Isabel is absolutely amazing at what she does. She's the perfect Doula for new moms, and basically a lifesaver. Isabel was excellent with our baby and helped my wife while she was recovering and I had to go to work right after our baby girl was born. She even goes beyond what her duties call for without being asked. She takes initiative and that is absolutely helpful. Her calm and soothing energy made it super easy for our 2 babies to feel safe and comfortable with her, and that is exactly what you want in a Doula. I wouldn't hesitate for one second hiring Isabel to take care of Mom and newborn when it's most needed. She's the perfect hire for your Doula job.
