Hannah was exactly what I was looking for in a birth doula. She acknowledged all of my concerns about achieving a more natural birth. She is very knowledgeable about pregnancy and the birth process and provided very beneficial information that helped achieve my birth goals. I also live farther away and Hannah was on the road as soon as I let her know I was in labor. Overall I could not have asked for a better birth and doula experience. My husband and I highly recommend Hannah, she was fabulous!

We absolutely loved our experience with Hannah! This was my third birth and first at going epidural free. Hannah was easy to talk to through the easier contractions and when things became more difficult she was very calming. Hannah answered all my questions, was calm and reassuring and tried many different pain relief strategies throughout my quick labor. I didn't need to ask her to do things, she was on top of it before I asked! I'm so thankful for my experience!

I could not have asked for a better birth experience working with Hannah. She was amazing from suggesting questions I may want to ask my provider about at prenatal visits, to helping navigate all there is to learn in your first pregnancy, to being with me at the hospital during a long overnight labor process. Hannah was always encouraging and looking for ways to help my birth plan go as I had envisioned while also supporting me in decisions when the birth started to look different from what I had originally planned. I'm so thankful Hannah was there to assist me and my husband through this special life event and I wouldn't hesitate to have her as my doula for the next baby.

If you’re thinking about having a doula, Hannah is the one to have! This was our first pregnancy and since we didn’t know how labor and delivery would work for us I wanted to make sure we were well supported. We had a planned home-birth with midwives and Hannah was so supportive of our decisions and what we wanted our birth to look like. Our visits before the birth were super informative and helped us get to know each other before the big day! Hannah made me feel so comfortable and helped with anything we needed during labor and delivery! She helped to get baby in better positioning, with pain relief when I had terrible back labor, gave me constant encouragement, and even just held the fan when I was in the thick of it! We ended up having to transfer after laboring at home and in the hospital she had our birth plan ready so everyone was on the same page. She stayed with me and held my hand after our baby was born while my husband stayed with him. All in all I can’t imagine not having Hannah there with us through our labor and delivery. She brought so much comfort and encouragement during that time! Thank you Hannah!!

We've been working with Hannah in a postpartum capacity for over a month now and we couldn't be happier! She is an excellent doula. She is knowledgable, compassionate, and accommodating, and she has developed such a sweet relationship with our 3-month-old son. She has generous and flexible availability for overnights and evening care, which is such a relief for us! We love working with her and would highly recommend her to anyone seeking doula support, whether for birth or postpartum care!

Hannah was such an amazing resource to have both during pregnancy & child birth. She was able to give me tons of information and things to do to try and help get baby in the right position. While in labor she was consistently recommending trying new things/positions and even was able to help assist with breastfeeding after the birth. This was my first birth with a Doula and I would definitely use Hannah again!

Hannah was extremely helpful and an integral part of my positive birth experience. She was a life saver through contractions, helping my husband support me, and ensuring my birth plan was followed. I know my birth would not have been the same without her-I'm grateful she was there!

 Hannah did a wonderful job helping my wife in labor. She's very professional, knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do and when to do it. It was the birth of our first child and I had no idea what to expect. Hannah's calm demeanor helped keep me calm and helped my wife as well. I honestly believe that without Hannah in that room, the birthing experience would not have been as positive as it was for my wife.
