When I got pregnant with my third, I knew I wanted a redemptive unmedicated vaginal birth. I was nervous about finding a doula that would not only support me in my vba2c endeavor but be my trusted advocate at the hospital. The moment I got off the phone with Hannah I knew she was the one!
Her communication in the weeks leading up to my due date was top tier, always making herself available for my questions and sending me much needed resources. I felt nothing but unconditional support as she made me see how absolutely common and possible it was to have a successful vba2c (what I used to think was far-fetched). No wonder I had nothing but confidence heading into my baby’s delivery!
As we had guessed, during my labor we were met with many voices trying to get me to the operating table. But Hannah’s voice in those rooms was both powerful and calming, as it reminded me time and time again I was strong enough to do it and to advocate for myself. During the contractions, her and my husband became my DREAM TEAM when it felt like I couldn’t keep going.
As labor progressed, things not on my birth plan became a reality, but because of Hannah’s knowledge and encouragement, I felt like I was 100% in control, and nobody else was making the decisions for me (something that I felt led to my first c section).
Although my son’s birth did not end the way I envisioned, the experience provided an unbelievable rise of confidence in my body and mind. Something I know would not have been possible without Hannah.
Not only did I get an amazing and capable doula, we feel like we got a lifelong friend!

My first birth was traumatic but having Hannah as one of my support people for my 2nd birth helped me have the redemptive and beautiful birth I was hoping for.
She helped create a supportive and calm environment for both me and my husband even when things became intense and scary.
She has such a beautiful soul. Her empathy to past experiences and current fears made me feel so supported from our first meeting together. I had met with a couple other doulas previously and came away feeling like they would do a good job, but I felt like they may not have the same understanding of my specific needs to support me the way I needed. After my first meeting with her, I got in my car and texted my husband "I found my doula!"
I was hoping to find a doula who was trauma informed and I 100% found that in Hannah.
I wish I had her support during my first birth. I'm certain my experience would have been completely different.
If you are looking for a person who will make you feel completely supported during one of your most vulnerable but beautiful moments, Hannah is the best decision you could make.

Having Hannah by our side during the birth of our son was such a gift. When labor brought unexpected decisions and emotions, she was our steady anchor. She constantly reminded us to slow down, take a breath, and remember that we didn’t have to rush into every decision. Instead, she encouraged us to ask questions, consider all of our options, and make the choices that felt right for our family.
One of the things I’m most grateful for is how Hannah advocated for us to simply have a few moments to pause and process before making important decisions. That support helped us feel empowered, heard, and confident during such a life-changing experience.
I’m so thankful she was part of our birth story, and I truly can’t imagine going through it without her. Thank you, Hannah, for your kindness, wisdom, and unwavering support.

After a very traumatic first birth experience, I knew it was important to have the guaranteed support of a Doula. Hannah was such a comfort and mama bear during my birth. From our first visit to baby day, Hannah ensured I felt the love every step of the way. Hannah arrived at the hospital very shortly after we did and cheered me on as I attempted a VBAC for 14 hours straight. Between my midwife, labor nurse and doula it was the perfect team. Baby was in a difficult position, so Hannah used her spinning baby knowledge and had me move in different positions every thirty minutes throughout labor. Even with an epidural, she helped guide me. After doing everything we possibly could, my birth did unfortunately escalate to a repeat c section. Hannah was able to join us in the operating room and stayed well into our recovery to make sure we were okay. She then surprised us with incredible photos and footage of my c section. Hannah went above and beyond. If we ever were to have a third child, we would ask Hannah to be our doula again in a heartbeat.
Thank you, Hannah!

My husband and I so appreciated having Hannah as our doula! She met with us a couple times throughout the pregnancy to check in and discuss labor and delivery details, and as the due date neared would text encouragement and suggestions regarding symptoms.
During labor and delivery she was calm, caring, and so attentive from beginning to end. She listened to me when I would express a need and she was always quick to jump in and help support me and keep me comfortable. She was knowledgeable about the labor and delivery process and would suggest helpful techniques on managing pain and progressing labor. When things got intense during L&D she was reassuring and helped us stay calm to make decisions. We are so thankful that Hannah was a part of our birth story and so glad to have had her support!

I can not say enough about how amazing Hannah is. She was the doula at my best friend's delivery and I truly believe she made it the beautiful experience it was. Her attention to detail, the thoughtful additions and ambiance items that she brought were so wonderful and brought so much calm and homeiness to the sterile hospital room. Her interactions with the Drs and nurses were so professional and incredibly helpful, with several mentioning how much they appreciated having her there as well. She had great suggestions for many different scenarios that really helped my friend thru her pain and difficulties during the delivery. Hannahs energy and skills are excellent. She is a deeply caring person who is all in with her delivering mamas and offers so much support to all members of the family (and friends) of the Mama. I wish I could do my deliveries again and have Hannah there!!

My experience with Hannah was a true blessing. She is very passionate about her role. She is gifted and focused on her passion to help and support expectant mothers. Her desire to create a beautiful and supportive experience for every member in the family throughout the birthing experience goes above and beyond what a mother would expect. Her knowledge, compassion, and relaxing support was very beneficial to me as a mother, heading into my second childbirth.

During my Birthing Process, Hannah was there every step of the way. From the day we first met her, my husband and I felt very comfortable with her, and glad to welcome her to come alongside us for this journey.
Birthing a child is an incredibly intimate experience, not just anyone should be there for it, and I felt very safe and reassured that Hannah was a good person to be there for my Birth process.
She was so helpful in assisting us in developing our Birth Plan prior to going to the hospital, and once we were there, she came as soon as we contacted her. Hannah was there the entire time we needed her, supporting me, with knowledge, understanding, and kindness.
She was very attentive to my needs, and I am so grateful she was there, especially for the difficult times, when I needed support the most. I truly appreciate Hannah's assistance and companionship for this life changing experience.
Not only did she bring me great support and guidance, she was also attentive to my husband, making sure he was doing okay during this overwhelming period of our lives.
I love that Hannah came to visit us the day after our son was born, just to check in and make sure we were doing well.
Hannah is a true friend, as well as an amazing Doula, and I will recommend her to other pregnant women every time, Hannah is great.

During my wife's Birthing process, Hannah was more than amazing. Along with her thorough knowledge and understanding of Birthing a child, and the many possible directions these situations can go, she is also incredibly thoughtful of each individual's needs. Nancy and I were encourage by her compassion and attention to detail, ensuring that Nancy had every bit of support and guidance needed during this experience. She was present with us at the Hospital the whole time we needed her there, alongside Nancy during the labor process.
After our baby was born, Hannah followed up the next day to see us and our new son, to make sure everyone was doing well.
Hannah is more than a Doula, she has become one of our good friends, her heart is full of kindness, and we truly appreciate having her support during the birth of our son.

My dear friend Hannah Marie Fisher has been a life saver during my pregnancy. I would be completely lost without her as she was a blessing of information, resources and support. She truly cares about her passion for helping others to include soon to be mothers and has taken another step to become a professional doula. I highly recommend her services if you or anyone you know seek that ultimate guidance and support. She is truly amazing and will change your world for the better.
