Testimonial for Hilary Baxendale
There are not enough positive words to describe how incredible Hilary is as a doula. I truly can’t imagine my birth experience without her — it absolutely would not have been as calm and stress-free as it was without her on our team.
We were in frequent contact leading up to my birth, and Hilary is an absolute wealth of knowledge. She answered every question, eased so many of our worries, and made me feel completely prepared and supported. I never thought that as a first-time mom I would feel as calm as I did going into labor, and I credit so much of that to her.
At the hospital, she was incredible. She made me feel at ease every step of the way, took the time to explain what was happening, advocated for my comfort, and somehow always knew exactly what I needed. It was also so clear that the hospital team knows and loves her — there was such a warm, genuine energy throughout the entire experience.
Her support didn’t end after the birth either. She continued to check in and made me feel so cared for during those early postpartum days. Even my husband says there is no way he could have done it without her!
Hilary truly is the best of the best, and we feel so lucky to have found her. I could not recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a doula.
