Laine was an amazing help to my wife and me! The birth of our first child saw me woefully underprepared as a partner, and while I unskilled significantly, it was absolutely worthwhile having Laine there too. She was able to be "hands-on" when I couldn't, and always seemed to have just the right comfort item or birth aid magically appear where it needed to be right when it was needed. I'm intensely grateful for her and for everything she did to support us as we welcomed our son to the world!

Laine is an incredibly thoughtful, knowledgeable and caring doula. She helped us throughout our pregnancy, birth and post birth adjustment, and has been truly wonderful throughout our whole experience. Laine also took the most beautiful birth photos for us and I'd recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Laine for making our second birth as smooth as it could've been and advocating for me when I needed it most. We're incredibly appreciative of you!

Laine was a wonderful asset to our birth. We were first time parents so having someone with experience in pre\post natal care helping us was so beneficial. She was very knowledgeable, professional & supportive. I felt empowered to make decisions for what was best for myself, baby and our birth plan. Not only did she provide support for myself, hiring her took a load of stress off my partner. Having the extra support made for a really positive first time birth. I would highly recommend having her as your doula!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Laine for the birth of our first child. She was a huge support to us throughout pregnancy, labour and postnatal. She is highly knowledgeable, experienced and brings a calm and confident approach to childbirth. I felt I was in such good hands and was empowered to make the best decisions for myself throughout her care. I appreciated her honesty, warmth and sensitivity, especially in the tough moments. I would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of hiring a doula and would choose her again for a second pregnancy in a heartbeat.

Laine was an excellent support during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. She was very easy to connect with and showed up to the hospital at 3am with calm, confident energy and a bag full of comfort measures.

Laine was a constant steady presence during labour and I felt very well supported as things progressed quickly. She also supported my husband as a birth partner and they were an excellent team in providing me comfort and reassurance. My birth was intense and unmedicated but the strong support helped me progress with confidence.

We also had support during pregnancy and postpartum - Laine helped with meal prep, household tasks, and shared lots of knowledge.

Highly recommend hiring Laine as a doula! It makes a big difference having an experienced support person through the journey!
