She took such good care of me before & after birth. I was so nervous since this was my first, but she calmed me and knew exactly what to do.

Athena is not only caring with her practice, but shes also considerate. If you want a doula- you've come to the perfect person. Not only is she knowledgeable, but she is well versed in birth. It's quite obvious that she takes great care in what she's doing.

Athena was the BEST doula and I'm so grateful I had her there with me! She was so comforting and provided me with so much evidence based advice, I felt so confident giving birth with her on my team. I cannot recommend her enough!!

At all costs, please do not consider Athena. She has scammed me and one other mom out of money. Please consider joining local birth worker groups to see the thread of information.
