Testimonial for Mary Skinner
I cannot recommend Mary Skinner enough. She is not just a doula—she is an angel sent from heaven to make your labor and delivery experience as smooth, supported, and empowering as possible.
From the moment we connected, Mary’s depth of knowledge, warmth, and intuition put me at ease. She met with my partner and me before delivery, spending hours walking us through what to expect, how to prepare my body, and how my partner could actively support my experience. No question was too small, and she answered my endless stream of inquiries with patience, wisdom, and zero judgment.
When it came time to labor, Mary was by my side every step of the way. Even though my birth was not what we planned, Mary advocated for me and created a calm and sacred space with soothing massages, body oils, and sound bowls. When I think back to my labor and birth story, I literally see her face… she practically labored WITH me through her hands on support, coaching, encouragement, guidance, and unwavering empowerment. It carried me through.
And her care didn’t stop there. Postpartum, Mary showed up at my home with a bundle of thoughtful recovery goodies. She not only provided a healing full-body massage and prepared a soothing sitz bath, but she also cleaned my (very messy) postpartum bathroom—without hesitation or judgment. Her level of care, both physically and emotionally, is unparalleled.
Mary was truly a godsend during my first pregnancy, and I will undoubtedly hire her again for every one of my future births! If you’re considering working with her, don’t walk—RUN to book her. She is simply the best of the best.
