Connecting with Barbara as my husband and I were looking for a Doula was such a blessing! From the very first call, I felt incredibly valued, heard, and inspired. She has a beautiful gift of making you feel safe, just by talking through the phone.

We were due with our first baby in April and having Barbara as a support person was/is beyond my expectations. It was really important to us to have someone on our side that knew a little about everything - Barbara went beyond that! I really appreciated the prenatal classes to prepare both my husband and I for what was to come. She's hands-on, interactive, and judgement-free. I loved the way she made my husband feel more confident going into the labor and delivery process.

Our birth story was a dream and from the very moment we all arrived at the hospital, Barbara was encouraging and made sure my wishes were being respected by the nurses and doctors. She was the cheerleader everyone wants in their corner! 

We're now a few weeks post delivery and she continues to check-in on us to see how everything is going, including coming over for a postpartum visit. I would absolutely recommend Barbara to my closest friends and family. This entire experience was so much better because of her!

We worked with Barbara as our birth doula last Fall in preparation for the birth ofour first child. From the very beginning, Barbara was warm, compassionate and knowledgeable. She offered comprehensive in-home sessions leading up to our baby's birth and was always available for calls or text when we had questions On the day of our baby's birth, Barbara was by our side and stayed with us in the postpartum unit for several hours afterwards. She always made sure to follow up postpartum and even coordinated care with our Postpartum Doula. She is relatively new to the Doula community however she is a great asset and offers great expertise with a touch of TLC.

Our experience with Barbara was absolutely wonderful! She was very knowledgeable and made us feel so at ease with the whole process (which was very nerve wracking for my husband and me). I love that I was also able to text her day and night about my many worries and she was always very responsive and calming. But the best part was during the actual birth -- After 30+ hours of labor at that point, I didn't realize how stressed I was until she met me at the hospital and brought with her such peace and warmth. Through her massages, guiding me into various labor positions and encouraging me to get in touch with my baby and body, she took me from 3 cm to 10cm in just a few hours! I was beyond stunned. She made me feel so taken care of and I'm forever grateful. Writing this as I hold my healthy, beautiful newborn girl :)
