Here is what a client named Anna Maier Rogers has to say about working with Alla:

I came to the doula search process quite late in my pregnancy, and Alla saved the day! My husband and I had a wonderful experience working with her. After attending a birthing class while I was approximately 8 months pregnant, we realized that we would benefit from the support of a doula since we don't have many family members nearby. We found Alla's profile on this website and were able to get in touch with her right away. She was very responsive and non-judgmental. I gave birth at UCSF Mission Bay. I appreciate that Alla is open to supporting a range of birth plans and scenarios. She helped to prepare me for the process of labor and delivery in a hospital setting. She put me in touch with an excellent acupuncturist when I went past my due date. She also introduced me to Natural Resources which has provided invaluable breast feeding support.

While in the hospital Alla's presence was soothing and empowering. She provided me with a tens unit which really helped with pain management and suggested different positions and methods for natural pain relief. She also reminded me of my personal agency while in labor and made it clear that her role was to support my decisions rather than making any decisions on my behalf. This included advocating on my behalf if any issues arose with the hospital staff.

Alla is a talented photographer and took pictures during the birth which I will treasure. We've kept in touch during the post-partum period as well. I whole heartedly recommend her as a doula and am so glad she was by my side during this special time in my life.

Here is what a client named Cherry has to say about working with Marta:

Having Marta & Hannah by my side through the pregnancy was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. I highly recommend working with Marta & Hannah. They were the dream team, and we're so grateful to have met them.

At first, I was skeptical about hiring a doula because I didn't quite understand the value doula brings to the pregnancy journey. However, many of my good friends highly recommend working with someone. Through research and connections, eventually, we were fortunate to meet Hannah & Marta.

We want to be informed enough to make the right decisions about my well-being and preparation for birth, mentally, physically, and emotionally. There was a lot of the unknown, given that this was our first pregnancy journey. While we have lots of trusted friends & family with a ton of helpful information, it was too overwhelming. Marta & Hannah guided us through the process and provided us with the right amount of information we needed at the right time. It was so important to have them by our side, to hear our concerns, and provide a sense of calm and reassurance in our preferences. I felt confident and at ease about my childbirth experience. My husband was prepared and knew that he had the support he needed to take care of me.

I wanted a natural birth. I ended up with a 36 hrs long labor at the hospital with very little intervention. We had a healthy baby boy. It was long and intensive, but I appreciate every moment of it. Marta & Hannah were there by my side the entire experience. It would have been much more challenging mentally and physically without their support. They made sure that I moved around, explored different positions during labor, and helped me cope with the intensity with various counter pressure techniques. They knew to step back when I needed my space and knew to step in when I needed them.

Just hire Marta & Hannah, you won't regret it.

Here is what a client named Renee has to say about working with Paige:

Paige is truly an incredible woman and artist. Through my pregnancy, birth and after she was there to not only answer all my questions but was there to support me.

Having pictures of my labor and moments when my sweet baby boy was born bring me indescribable joy and healing. My first birth did not go as planned and I didn’t have any pictures of my husband and I with our newborn baby. For this labor I knew that I wanted support of a doula. At first I didn’t think I wanted any photographs and she expressed to me how beautiful and healing it could be. It really was and I am so grateful to her. It gave me a peace about my first birth that I could have never had without my experience with her and my midwife.

I had my toddler and husband with me during labor. She captured precious moments of my toddler. Him holding my water bottle, giving me a kiss just to mention a couple. She took my toddler to fill up my water bottle a few times which he loved and gave my husband and I some moments together. Just so many little things that she did extra with so much compassion.

I felt safe and cared for. Both my toddler and newborn were cherished by her. She took care of me from the moment she arrived and stayed with me until baby and I were all settled.
