As someone who struggles with being emotionally and physically vulnerable, birth is something that I've always been afraid of. In fact, when I found out that I was pregnant, hiring a doula was not even a conversation that my husband and I were planning on having. In hindsight, hiring Hailey to be our doula was one of the best decisions that we could've made. Hailey is an incredible coach in every sense of the word. She gave us the advice that we needed in early labor of resting and getting sleep, which set us up for success in active labor and delivery. She helped prepare our home and really set the mood so that it was a comfortable and relaxing environment for all of us. When things started to get difficult, Hailey had different tactics and plans to keep things moving and to help me understand what was going on at that point in my labor. I never once questioned why she was suggesting certain things because they just seemed to make sense and ultimately did help the process. Hailey kept a calm demeanor throughout the entire 20+ hours that we spent together and made me feel like I was capable of anything. She was an amazing addition to my birth team, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone preparing for birth or looking for postpartum support.
