Here is what a client named Katya has to say about working with Susan :

Susan Martin is profesional and knowledgeable. When I googled her name and found out that she has been a La Leche League leader for 17 years, teaching the Bradley childbirth classes for 10 years, I really wanted her to be our Doula. In the couple of months, we built our relationship with her and I felt very comfortable and supported in Susan's caring hands. She wanted us to be educated and prepared for birth as well as postpartum. We borrowed from her library books and videos. She was teaching us the meditation and relaxation. Working with Susan helped me to build a stronger relationship with my husband. We were writing in Susan's class about our feelings for each other and sharing games to make our baby's birth as healthy as possible. My husband learned how to do massage for me and be supportive during labor and after. We were prepared by Susan for anything. My labor was 60 hours! Susan was with us for much of this time and her presence let my husband rest as much as possible before important moments. She drove me to my midwife's office for a checkup and let my husband sleep after he was up all night. She walked with me, and was taking amazing care of me that I will never forget. Her touch and massage was my pain killer; she really knew what to do. I didn't have epidural and do not remember any pain. She brought to us a lot of helpful supplements and props. I learned from Susan's birth preparation lessons how to push and it helped me a lot, I didn't have episiotomy and almost no stitches. After our girl was born, Susan visited us to check on our recovery, breastfeeding, and baby care. She helped me with my breastfeeding challenges with hands-on technique, sent me links on educational videos, and emails with support. She even asked us if we needed anything from stores. We hired Susan for postpartum, too. On the days when she was with us, I was able to rest, because she really knew what I needed. Susan cared about us like her own family!

Here is what a client named Emilie & Sebastien has to say about working with Lauren:

My birthing and postpartum experiences would have gone so differently had Lauren not been part of our team. I cannot recommend her more highly and have come to think of her as a friend and resource that I will forever be grateful to have in our lives. I was immediately drawn to her upon our first call where she shared evidence-based information, answered all of my questions with a calm, confident energy, which is exactly what I was looking for. Once we began working with her, she was open to my ideas and struck the perfect balance of informing without dictating and she supported me through decisions about my birth plan. She also coached my husband and made him feel prepared and ready for the birth. She understands the pregnancy journey and has a very high level of empathy, which allows her to remain flexible, open-minded, and adaptable to the changing needs of her clients and their birth journeys. I felt confident after our prep sessions which I never thought was possible for me with regards to childbirth; I am someone who suffered from a deep fear of labor and had planned to schedule a c-section! When the big day came, she was responsive and supported all of my needs at our home and the hospital. When we needed to pivot away from the birth plan, she helped us do so with ease. Her presence throughout the day was incredibly calming for both my husband and me and we still believe we couldn't have done it without her. We enjoyed working with her so much that we also hired her as a postpartum doula, during which she provided me with desperately needed help and care as we live away from our families and are without the village so many new parents have. I love that she has been a part of my now 7 month old daughter's life for her whole life and she is one of the only people in whom I have complete confidence when it comes to caring for her. Lauren is kind, intelligent, informed and supportive and any birthing person would be beyond lucky to have her as their doula.

Here is what a client named Yoonmy Hanneman has to say about working with Jill:

We did not initially think to have a doula on our birth team but our friends recommended it. I am so glad we looked into doula support because we found Jill.

Jill was an amazing support throughout pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum. She supported all our preferences without judgement and helped us make informed decisions on topics we did not know about as first time parents. She created a beautiful calming ambiance to the delivery room with twinkle lights. We loved her positive energy and humor. She was attentive and always available to answer any questions we had. We would highly recommend adding her to your birth team!
