Ali

I truly can't imagine my birth without Ali.

One of my favorite memories is when she first arrived at our house in early labor. I had already been laboring on my own for a few hours and was in the bathtub when she walked in carrying tea light candles and a lavender diffuser. She looked around, smiled, and said, "Wow, this is gorgeous." It seems like such a small moment, but it immediately made me feel like I was exactly where I needed to be. Her calm, grounding presence changed the whole atmosphere.

She stayed with me through every contraction for about five hours at home, helping me find my rhythm and guiding me so gently that I completely lost track of time. She timed contractions, offered comfort measures at just the right moments, and helped us know when it was time to head to the birth center.

My labor ended up lasting 24 hours and took several unexpected turns—from home, to the birth center, and eventually the hospital for pain relief and support with a prolonged labor. Through every transition, Ali was a steady, reassuring presence.

One moment I'll never forget was when plans changed at the hospital. We'd hear what the doctor had to say, and then I'd instinctively lock eyes with Ali and my partner, looking for reassurance that we were making the right decision. Just meeting her eyes gave me so much peace.

The nurses and medical staff clearly enjoyed working with her, and she helped us feel like a true team. She also came to our home a couple of weeks after the birth to process the experience together, which meant so much.

Looking back, I feel incredibly satisfied with my birth experience, and I know Ali played a huge role in that. I truly feel bonded with her forever and will always be grateful for her compassion, wisdom, and unwavering support. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made.

Ali was fantastic at preparing me for the birth experience and working with me for a hospital delivery! I am so grateful for all the work we did ahead of time about what to expect and creating multiple plans for labor. She was a great coach and I truly could not have gotten through labor (especially pushing) without her! I would not hesitate to with her again for our next child! Both baby and I had great health outcomes too :)

Ali was so wonderful to work with! During our prenatal visits, she was encouraging, educational, and joyful to be around. I was hoping to have a low intervention birth back in December but I developed pre eclampsia and needed to be induced. Ali was supportive during the change of plans and provided excellent care for me physically and emotionally so we could still have as little interventions as possible. She made laboring fun and I couldn’t imagine introducing my baby boy into the world without her by my side!
