I cannot recommend Mara highly enough! From the very beginning of my pregnancy journey, she was an incredible source of knowledge, support, and reassurance. She helped me establish a thorough birth plan, took the time to research my many questions around vaccines and interventions, and guided me through various techniques to use during labor. Her dedication was evident in the way she made herself available at all times, even doing multiple home visits to help us prepare for delivery.
Although my birth took an unexpected turn, resulting in an unplanned C-section, Mara was right there by my side. She came to the hospital as I labored, assisting with positioning and advocating for my birth plan. Her calm energy, unwavering support, and even her sense of humor made all the difference in the moment.
After our baby was born, we faced another challenge—our little one spent a week in the NICU. Mara continued to be a pillar of support, checking in frequently, visiting the hospital, and offering the emotional encouragement my husband and I needed during such a difficult time.
If you’re a first-time mom looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and deeply supportive doula, Mara is the one you want by your side. She truly goes above and beyond, and we are so grateful to have had her as part of our journey!
