Allie was a perfect doula from start to finish, and we cannot recommend her enough to anyone who is looking for an extremely knowledgeable and caring doula who will be with you through every step of the process. If you're having trouble deciding, take it from us that Allie is the right and best choice!
It was clear from day one that Allie deeply enjoys her work, is passionate about it, and is so very knowledgeable. We were blown away by the wisdom she shared with us in our very first meet and greet! Through our virtual sessions, Allie really helped to educate us about the ins and outs of pregnancy. Her experience and knowledge base is extremely impressive-such as how she was able to answer any question we had (and we had many!) with so many useful details and explain things in an easy to understand way.
Leading up to the day before giving birth, Allie really helped us as an expert, unbiased voice in terms of when was the best time to go to the hospital, really taking a lot of stress out of the equation. We were faced with some difficult decisions, and Allie helped us think through our options. When we did go to the hospital and Allie arrived to help, it's no exaggeration to say that she was a breath of fresh air. Her positive, upbeat attitude and calming presence made a world of difference and helped to reassure us. She also added some much needed levity to the overall situation, helping us to laugh and relax.
Allie was with us every step of the journey, from the early days when the due date seemed so far away, to the minutes leading up to the actual birth, helping with pushing and positioning. We honestly can't imagine going through the process with anyone else, and wholeheartedly recommend Allie to anyone and everyone looking for a doula in NYC. We are forever grateful for such a positive birth experience, Allie!
