Here is what a client named Malvika has to say about working with Gretchen:

Gretchen was my birth doula and assisted in the birth of my first child. She is professional, to the point and very knowledgable. I went in labor 5w before the due date and Gretchen was able to make time and help us with the birth in the hospital. During my hospital stay, she gave very useful advice multiple times on different scenarios which was very helpful considering we weren't prepared to go into labor at the time. At times of anxiety, she was able to calm the room and provide great support to me which gave me confidence and set me up for a successful vaginal delivery. Thank you, Gretchen!

Here is what a client named Kelly L has to say about working with Ana:

We decided fairly late into pregnancy that we wanted a doula. Ana was very accommodating, working with our compressed schedule to get us the information we needed in order to have our child our way.

Ana is very knowledgeable; she helped us to understand our options. She also was very helpful when unexpected issues arose (such as our baby being breech!), giving us the best natural methods to encourage our baby to flip so that we could have a natural birth (and they worked: I gave birth naturally and without pain medication, just as I had wanted!).

She has a calming presence, helping to bring a peacefulness and acceptance to the birth itself.

Ana’s postpartum care is hugely helpful. To give two examples, we were getting very little sleep because we had to trade off our newborn, swapping who slept and who stayed up with her. Ana showed us some sleeping techniques – simple but very effective – and now we can both sleep most of the night! Another example was burping technique: more gentle and effective than the standard “hit the baby on the back”. Her food is delicious and nutritious too!

Here is what a client named Sunbin has to say about working with christiane:

I met Christine while searching for a doula when I decided to try VBAC with my second pregnancy. I had a very traumatic birth with my first pregnancy, which involved medical induction, 12-hours of labor, and an emergency c-section. I felt helpless the whole time, which made me think I needed help and support from someone who understood the birthing experience.

I interviewed several doulas, and Christine was the warmest, most informative, and most compassionate. When I explained to her my previous experiences and why I wanted to try VBAC this time, she listened with all her heart. She was highly resourceful and always provided the right advice at the right time. She never forced me to do things in specific ways and always communicated gently. With her help, I safely delivered my child through VBAC without any medical interventions. The whole process was surprisingly smooth and quick!

The baby is already 7-month-old, but even now, Christine is still the first person that comes to mind when I need help with lactating or parenting. Thank you, Christine. I really wish I had known you during my first pregnancy. And I can vouch for you over and over again for those who need help with VBAC or any births.
