"I can't say enough how extremely satisfied I am with Stephanie and her team. I knew ahead of time that having my third child would be challenging for me (especially since I have very little family in the area), but I didn't know how much until my son arrived. I needed their assistance and they surpassed my expectations. They truly cared for me and about me and for that I am so grateful. I would recommend their postpartum doula services for any mom (new or experienced) who could use the help to adjust and find her stride after having baby."

QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR DOULA SERVICES?
A birth doula is a non-medical, professional birth guide who provides continuous physical, emotional and advocacy support during labor. Our birth doulas also offer resources and education during pregnancy, labor, and the immediate postpartum period.
"I was referred by a friend --- you have to trust your friends, right? Even my husband says that he couldn't have imagined having to go through the whole birthing process without a doula. I completely agree! Stephanie was patient and knowledgeable when she helped create my birth plan, and she was the total hero in the hospital when my 28+ hour labor ended in a cesarean. She kept my husband as calm as she could and was quick to remind us of our options. She totally went above and beyond."
