We originally weren’t sure if we wanted a doula, but after meeting with Alexis for a consultation we knew we had to have her at our birth. She has a calming, open demeanor, has been through the birthing process first-hand with her three kids, and she is so obviously passionate about being a doula. She came over two times prior to the birth to get to know each other and try different coping techniques together, and she also must have answered thousands of questions from me over text prior to labor, at all times of the day and night. Once labor began, she came to our house in the middle of the night and helped with pain management through hip squeezes and applying heat. Afterwards, my husband commented on how glad he was to have her there because otherwise he felt like we needed to head to the hospital immediately vs. laboring at home for awhile as planned. Throughout labor she had a great balance of providing relief while also letting my husband and I have time together. I’m so happy with my birth experience and credit so much of it to her presence. Now that baby is here, she has been over multiple times to help with breastfeeding and general new parent concerns. Alexis has become a great friend and I highly recommend her as a doula.
