My wife and I used Glory as our postpartum doula for several weeks following the birth of our son. She was incredibly helpful to us. We knew we wanted to wait a few weeks after our son was born before hosting our families, but as first time parents we also had a ton of “now what?” questions after getting home from the hospital. Glory helped us bridge that gap. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing there was someone there to help us through those early days, which can feel really overwhelming. She helped us get comfortable with the basics of feeding, diaper changing, swaddling, holding and soothing — all the things it takes some time before you fed confident as first time parents. Her focus was on helping us feel confident and figuring out our own methods for everything. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and easy to communicate with. We knew she was going to be an amazing help to our family from our very first meeting with her. I would highly recommend her services to anyone.

I had an amazing experience using Glory for prenatal and birth suppprt. I cannot say enough good things about her approach and would recommend her to anyone considering using a doula. She doesn't have a schtick or try to steer you towards a particular type of birth experience, which I really appreciated. She helps you figure out what you want and she's on board 100%.

She was also able to tailor our meetings based on what I wanted in terms of support and information, which helped us make the most of or time. I had done a few prepared childbirth classes through the hospital where I was planning to deliver, so I was already familiar with some basics, but Glory helped me dive into the topics I wanted more information on to come up with a birth plan that felt right to me.

As a birth support, she is everything you would want: calm, encouraging, and extremely responsive to how you're doing in the moment and what your needs are. I ended up delivering with a different doctor than my regular OB, and having Glory there helped make the entire process so much smoother. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone interested in using a doula.
