As a first time mom, having a doula was especially important to me. Alyssa is amazing. She is resourceful, compassionate, and supportive. These are all qualities you want to look for when choosing a doula. During my pregnancy, she gave us so many great resources to help guide us through pregnancy. She met with us in-person and was very responsive to texts/emails. When I went into labor Alyssa was a true game changer, even going into labor late at night she was extremely responsive and helped my husband with coping skills until she arrived at the hospital. Once Alyssa arrived she completely changed the atmosphere of the hospital room and gave me the confidence boost (and snacks!) that I needed. She provided comfort measures that immediately made me feel more at ease. She was able to ask the nurses questions that my husband and I didn’t think to ask (position, station, etc) and when the midwife suggested pitocin and breaking my waters due to contractions slowing down, Alyssa was there to help us make an informed decision. Alyssa truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to support them. We can’t recommend her enough!
