Scarlett was the first and only person we interviewed when looking for doulas. Her warm, straight forward and extremely flexible style was exactly what we were looking for and what fit best for both of our personalities. During her pre-birth visits, Scarlett was such a comfort and wonderful resource for us both. She was extremely easy to talk to and while offering advice, she really honored our choices for our birth.
Scarlett worked equally with both of us, again honoring our beliefs and desires for birthing. She brought us information/dvds and researched questions we had when there wasn't a clear answer. She checked in all along the way after prenatal checks when concerns arose. She provided ongoign support in what was a very difficult journey with breast feeding after the birth.
My birth experience was phenomenal. We had a written plan with Scarlett's feedback and while things did not completely as I had hoped, having Scarlett in the room wevery step of the way made the experience that much more amazing. She beloeved in my ability which allowed me to. She helped navigate family, knew when to step in and when to allow us to do our work. I highly recommend Scarlett. She is professional, compassionate, real, witty, and nurturing, which are all wonderful traits to have in someone supporting the most important journey in your life. I have already recommended her to several of my friends.
