As a first time mom, I knew I wanted a doula so that my husband and I would have support during my pregnancy and especially my delivery. We wanted somebody who was an expert in a field that was so new to us, somebody who would guide us and walk us through the process of labor, somebody who would listen to us, and somebody who lead with kindness. Mariah was that somebody we needed! Towards the end of my pregnancy we found out my baby was breech and I had to have a scheduled c-section. Mariah was very supportive and there for us - supporting me as I grieved not having the vaginal delivery I thought I would, collaboratoring with me to revise my birth plan, and being as present as she could on my baby's birthday (even though she wasn't allowed in the OR due to Covid protocol, she showed up pre- and post-op). Mariah was a calming precense and centering voice, and available by phone/text/email when I needed her. Thank you!
