Sheila was a wonderful doula! She has a great demeaner, very calm, and explains things accurately and thoroughly. She took her time with us to explain various aspects of the birthing process and covered many topics that we didn't even think to ask. She wanted to make sure we were 100% comfortable and informed. She always attended every appointment on time and arrived at the hospital well before the delivery which was perfect. At the hospital, she helped support my birth plan and wishes by explaining what's currently happening, what to expect, any options or alternatives, suggesting different laboring positions, etc. We couldn't have been happier and definitely recommend her.

Sheila is such a kind, and easy person to get along with. She gave me a sense of comfort before, during and also after my birth! She's was always there any question or concern I had. I'm so thankful to have found her, and to have her by my side when I welcomed my sweet baby into the world. She has alot of great knowledge about birth & being a mother. I really couldn't have asked for a better doula! If I ever have another baby I will 1000% want her by my side again!

From the very first time I spoke on the phone to arrange a meeting with Shelia Dilling, I felt instantly comfortable with her. As a first-time mom, I was nervous but determined to have an unmedicated birth, and Shelia gave me the confidence, knowledge, and calm I needed to make that happen. From her attentiveness and help with planning—providing birth plan templates and guiding my husband and me through both a Plan A and Plan B—to the moment labor began, her reassurance and experience gave me the strength to move forward with confidence.

When labor started, Shelia was there right away. She walked laps with me, helped ease contractions with hip squeezes, and gently guided me through different positions to help my body progress. She came prepared with everything—from a labor comb and soothing music to thoughtful reminders that helped me stay grounded through every wave. One of the things I appreciated most was how she advocated for me—like getting the birth pool filled at just the right time—and how she intuitively knew when to suggest trying it to ease my transition.

Shelia never left my side. She comforted me when I was exhausted, encouraged me when I doubted myself, and even helped hold my leg during pushing. With my permission, she captured the most incredible photos during labor and birth that I will treasure forever. After our 15½-hour unmedicated birth of our 8 lb baby (with no tears!), she followed up with a postpartum visit, making sure I was recovering well and reminding me she was always available if I had questions.

Shelia made me feel safe, cared for, and strong through one of the most powerful experiences of my life. I will forever be grateful that she was part of our birth story.

Sheila was an outstanding doula who made a significant impact on our birthing experience. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, answering all of our questions without ever coming off as a know-it-all. What I appreciated most was her ability to provide her professional opinions while always encouraging us to consult with our doctor or hospital staff.

Her knowledge in areas like breastfeeding, labor preparation, and hospital protocols was impressive. Sheila recognized the importance of preparing not just me but also my family and support system, actively including them in discussions and ensuring everyone was on the same page regarding my needs for labor.

When the time came, Sheila was there for us, even showing up in the middle of the night after I had endured three long days of induction. She stayed with us, offering support and comfort as I faced intense contractions. During delivery, she worked seamlessly with the nurses, providing physical assistance and never hesitating to help in any way she could.

Both my husband and I feel incredibly grateful for Sheila's support and expertise, and there’s no doubt we would hire her again for our next pregnancy. She truly made a difference in our journey to parenthood.

Shelia is the epitome of the perfect birth doula! I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through my birth without her. She was always available when I needed her and she was so supportive and informative. Sheila is professional and sweet and does everything she can to be what you need in the moment. I highly recommend her and am so lucky I had her by my side before and after my pregnancy. Thank you, Shelia!! ???

I really enjoyed having Sheila as my doula. She made me feel very comfortable and she was so helpful. It was nice to have an extra set of helping hands for not only me but my boyfriend as well. She made sure we didn't need for anything. My only complaint is that I didn't have her for my other two children. 10/10 would recommend her for others.

I found Sheila two ish weeks before my induction date. She took my birth on no problem. We met once over the phone initially and then twice in person. I ended up going into labor two days before my induction date and she arrived at the hospital in no time. 

Sheila is the most comforting person, considering we didn't have much time to really get to know each other. She's very knowledgeable and her voice is very comforting especially during labor.

Without Sheila I would've missed out on a lot of photos being taken, my favorite one she took was when they placed my baby on me right at delivery. 

Sheila has consistently checked in on my family throughout the first week of having my first child and has rooted for my breastfeeding journey. We are planning our postpartum visit soon to ensure my baby and I are settling well?? 

Again she is FANTASTIC and a wonderful person to be around
