Natalie was the most incredible doula I ever could've dreamed of having. From the moment we connected, I knew I needed her presence at my birth. She was so informative and gave me a very unbiased reporting of all my birthing options, talking me through everything, helping me choose what was best for me. When it came time for birth, she was so supportive in the best ways. She helped keep pressure in the right places during labor, helped me feel confident in my birthing decisions, got me into more comfortable birthing positions when my providers weren't, encouraged me fiercely when I didn't think I could do it anymore, and then to top it off, took the most beautiful pictures without being asked of one of the most precious moments of my life. Natalie topped any doula I ever could've imagined, and if a 5 hour drive was doable for #2, I'd ask for her presence without a second thought.

Natalie is phenomenal, I couldn’t recommend her and her services enough!! I knew I wanted her as my doula when I found out I was pregnant. We met third trimester and went over education and my birth plan which was super informative to a first time mom! All the education went over what happens to your body when labor comes. Super informative and easy to understand. We had originally planned for a natural birth at a birthing center but due to some complications, we ended up doing hospital birth. Everything had gone left from what I had planned but Natalie comforted me through the entire labor process. She was there when I needed some emotional support and physical (thank god for counter pressure!!!) I had a decent sized support system at the hospital with me but having her there put me at ease. She helped us speak up after having complications with my epidural and helped position me to help my cervix dilate. After being in labor for 44 hours, I was exhausted and spent. I had made the decision to get a c-section and she reassured me that everything would be okay (I was freaking out cause none of this was in my birth plan). Once babe came, she came to visit to talk about my birth. Looking back at my entire labor process, I couldn’t have done it without Natalie. Even though I was in the hospital, having her presence there reassured me that everything was going to be okay even though my birth wasn’t going to plan. She is an amazing doula who knows her stuff and a forever friend!

In 2020- quite possibly the worst time to have a baby- I hired Natalie to be my doula (virtually) because not even my husband could go to the appointments with me. She helped guide me through my birth plan and helped me understand how important each decision I made affected my baby and myself. She educated me and made me feel very sound with my birth plan. And that exact thing played out, exactly as we planned. I had the most amazing birth and I will always trust Natalie to help other mothers with this journey!

I reached out to Natalie as soon as I found out was pregnant yearning to have a VBA2C. Natalie’s online class was so informative and I immediately knew she absolutely loved everything about birth knowledge. She was extremely responsive, and if any question I had that she was not 100% confident with she would get back to me in a timely manner after finding the right answer. Birth knowledge is Natalie’s second language. I am pleased to add I was able to achieve my VBA2C twice after receiving so much support and knowledge from Natalie.

I have no doubt in my mind you will be so pleased and happy that you chose A Brighter Birth for your pregnancy and post pregnancy journey.
