We cannot recommend Harriet highly enough as a doula. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond — visiting our home multiple times before my due date to teach us contraction techniques and make sure we felt truly prepared. 

When early labor began, Harriet was an incredible calming presence over the phone, talking me through my initial contractions and wisely advising us to stay home much longer than we would have on our own. 

At the hospital, Harriet created a soothing environment (complete with candles!), kept me focused and breathing through contractions before my epidural, and made sure my husband felt involved and useful every step of the way. When I hit a wall during pushing, Harriet kept me grounded and calm — I honestly don't know how I would have gotten through that stretch without her.

Harriet visited us at home afterward to debrief the birth, process the experience together, and answer all the questions that come flooding in once you're home with a newborn. That postpartum visit meant more than I expected.

Harriet is knowledgeable, warm, intuitive, and dedicated to her clients. We are so grateful she was part of welcoming our baby into the world.
