As a same-gender couple, finding a doula who truly understood and respected our journey to parenthood meant the world to us. From the moment we met Hannah Fillette of Hudson Valley Birth Partners, we knew we were in the right hands. She welcomed us with open arms, creating a safe, affirming space where we felt seen, supported, and celebrated.

Throughout pregnancy and birth, Hannah was a steady and compassionate presence—offering education, emotional support, and so much encouragement. During labor, she helped us navigate every stage with calm confidence, offering comfort measures and thoughtful advocacy that helped us stay grounded and connected.

When our baby boy arrived, Hannah’s care didn’t stop there. She checked in often, offering postpartum guidance and gentle reassurance as we settled into life as new parents.

We can’t recommend Hannah and Hudson Valley Birth Partners enough. Her warmth, professionalism, and respect for all families made our experience not just positive—but truly empowering and beautiful.

As a father and now a grandfather, I wanted to make sure my daughter had all the support she needed during her pregnancy and birth. When I came across Hudson Valley Birth Partners, I decided to gift her doula services—and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I could’ve made for our family.

Hannah Fillette was incredible from the start. She guided my daughter and son-in-law through every stage with compassion, professionalism, and true care. During labor, Hannah provided calm reassurance and advocated for my daughter when she needed it most, even suggesting alternative interventions that helped her induction go more smoothly.

Knowing my daughter was in such capable, nurturing hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. Hannah’s dedication and kindness made all the difference—not only for the birth itself, but for the confidence my daughter carried into motherhood.

I can’t thank Hannah and Hudson Valley Birth Partners enough for the comfort and support they brought to our family during such a special time.

Working with Hannah was one of the best decisions we made for our birth experience. From our very first conversation, she brought a calming, grounded presence and a wealth of knowledge that made us feel completely supported. Hannah took the time to understand our hopes and concerns, offering both emotional reassurance and practical guidance every step of the way.

During my induction, Hannah was an incredible advocate — helping us understand our options and suggesting alternative interventions that supported the progress of labor while honoring my preferences. Her calm confidence and ability to communicate with the medical team helped me feel empowered and in control of my experience.

Throughout labor, she remained a steady, compassionate presence—anticipating our needs before we even voiced them, offering comfort measures, and helping create a peaceful environment.

After the birth, Hannah continued to check in, providing thoughtful postpartum support and resources that made the transition to parenthood smoother. She truly goes above and beyond for the families she serves.

We are endlessly grateful for Hannah’s care and can’t recommend Hudson Valley Birth Partners enough to anyone seeking a positive, empowering birth experience.

Working with Hannah from Hudson Valley Birth Partners was one of the best decisions I made during pregnancy and early motherhood. From our first meeting, she made me feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for. She took the time to understand my birth preferences and guided me with so much compassion and knowledge.

During labor, Hannah was a calm, grounding presence. She knew exactly when to step in with comfort measures or words of encouragement, and she worked seamlessly with my partner and care team to help me stay focused and confident. I felt empowered and supported every step of the way.

Her postpartum support was just as amazing — helping me rest, recover, and adjust with gentle care and reassurance. From baby tips and lactation guidance to emotional support and simply holding space, she made the transition to motherhood so much smoother.

Hannah isn’t just a doula — she’s a true gift. I can’t recommend Hudson Valley Birth Partners enough to anyone preparing to welcome a baby.

As a husband, I wasn’t totally sure what a doula did before we started working with Hannah from Hudson Valley Birth Partners, but now I can’t imagine going through the birth process without her. From the first meeting, she made both of us feel comfortable and prepared. She answered every question we had, gave us realistic expectations, and helped us go into labor feeling calm and confident.

During the birth, Hannah was absolutely incredible. She knew exactly how to support my wife — physically and emotionally — and she also made sure I knew how to help. She never took my place; instead, she empowered me to be an active part of the process. She guided me through ways to comfort and encourage my wife, and when things got intense, her calm presence kept us grounded.

After our baby was born, Hannah continued to check in and offered so much support during those first few weeks at home. She helped my wife recover, made sure we were both resting and eating, and even gave me reassurance and practical tips for taking care of a newborn.

I can’t recommend Hannah and Hudson Valley Birth Partners enough. She’s compassionate, knowledgeable, and truly cares about the families she supports. Having her with us made the entire experience — from pregnancy to postpartum — smoother, less stressful, and so much more meaningful. If you’re even considering hiring a doula, do it. Hannah was worth every penny and more.
