We knew we were in the best possible hands with Abigail from day one. Throughout our pregnancy, Abigail took the time to really get to know our values and our hopes for the birth experience. She met with us several times to talk through every detail, from pain management preferences to communication styles. She also went above and beyond by sending resources to help us feel confident and informed about our choices.

When it came time to create our birth plan, Abigail’s experience made all the difference. She helped us think through things we wouldn’t have known to consider and made sure our plan reflected our values while staying flexible.

During labor and delivery, she was a source of calm reassurance. Abigail coached us through positions and breathing techniques that helped labor progress and kept me as comfortable as possible. She was attentive not only to me but also to my partner, ensuring he felt supported and knew how to help. She asked us the right questions and was never too pushy or too distant. In the birthing room, Abigail was an invaluable advocate—asking thoughtful questions of the medical staff, beyond what we thought were educated questions we had asked the hospital staff first, helping us understand our options, and making sure our voices were heard at every step.

We didn’t have family in town, so Abigail was the  warm and compassionate safety blanket for us. She was always prompt, organized, and fully present, balancing knowledge and empathy in a way that’s truly rare.

Looking back, we can’t imagine our birth experience without her. Abigail helped us stay calm, connected, and confident through one of the most intense and beautiful experiences of our lives. We’re endlessly grateful for her care and would recommend her to anyone looking for a doula who is both deeply skilled and genuinely kinrd.
