I took Lisa's hypnobirthing class before the birth of my second baby. I was hesitant to take the…read moreclass because of a traumatic birth with my first baby which was supposed to be natural, but ended up with so many medical interventions, and was skeptical of being able to do a natural birth given my previous experience. However, Lisa was very kind and understanding of my situation, explaining that my first experience was filled with special circumstances and assured me that none of that would happen again. She educated me and my husband with all our options for our hospital birth and giving me a new hope and courage that I would be able to give birth naturally. This past week I had a scare that I had a rupture of membranes and did not go into labor (the same thing that started my first traumatic birth experience) and I reached out to her through text. She gave me lots of advice, reminded me to stay calm, and suggested some natural induction methods which worked. We also benefited from using the acupressure pain relieving techniques we learned from Lisa during labor. I started getting strong contractions at midnight, got to the hospital at 2:30am, and had my baby girl in my arms by 3:37am. She was a whopping 9lb3oz and I was able to push her out with no epidural and no tearing!! It was an amazing experience and I'm so happy to have had Lisa's help and advice throughout the way. Thank you so much Lisa!

Lisa was nothing short of amazing for my second birth. We befriended each other before as she…read moreprovided childbirth education for my first and was just a wonderful woman that yearned to help expecting mamas in any way she could. I didn't plan for a doula for my first but I knew for my second I wanted the experience and to have that extra support. She provided many tips and checked on me consistently as I began to get near my due time. The labor started rather quickly and she intuitively picked up on cues that I relayed to her over the phone and made it quickly to my home! She was gentle, encouraging, and took beautiful photos of my labor ! I had such a great birth experience and I know including her in my sacred day made it so. She is well versed and everything you are looking for in a doula. She is a beautiful person and great at what she does. I highly recommend!

We even set up a call with her afterwards and she was flexible enough to schedule a personal zoom class for us around our schedule. She gave us a bunch of tips to help with our journey. She also has a vast network of professionals and that helped us find our pediatrician and other resources that we needed. We highly recommend her services.

Sheri was an absolute blessing to our family! Sheri was my labor doula, but it didn't stop there…read more First, as soon as we told her we would like to have her as our doula, she had her phone on her 24/7 to answer any questions I had about my last few weeks of pregnancy. From ways to naturally induce labor, questions about certain pregnancy symptoms, and concerns about labor, she was there to help me to prepare for my upcoming labor and delivery of my son. Sheri was with me throughout my entire 33 hours of labor. She practically turned my labor room into a spa! With aromatherapy, LED candles, relaxing music and essential oils, she made my room so comfortable and serene! She tended to my needs during the entire labor. She used massage, imagery and breathing techniques to get me through every contraction and obstacle in labor. Her experience as a labor and delivery/postpartum nurse also helped to give me piece of mind since she also had the medical background and knowledge to understand everything going on between the medical professionals. She was able to explain to me things I didn't understand, offer suggestions, and be an advocate for me when it came to my nurses and the entire health care team. After the birth of my baby, Sheri continued to go above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. She visited me at the hospital the day after the baby was born and brought me lactation cookies and padsicles (frozen maxi pads with aloe vera and witch hazel... AMAZING!!!), she visited me at my home when I was having issues with breastfeeding, and when I mentioned something about wanting to wear a Moby wrap, she told me she had some loner wraps and brought me one to my home. I could text her anytime of the day with a question or concern and she would respond very quickly. The only way I can truly describe Sheri is by saying she is seriously an angel. Her calm demeanor, her soothing voice, her graciousness, gentleness, sincerity, patience and love for her job make her someone you just want to be around, especially during this very intimate time in your life. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Sheri to anyone looking for a labor or postpartum doula. We don't know how we would have done it without her. She will be a special person in ours and our son's life forever.

We took her Childbirth and Beyond course alongside having her be our doula for the birth. As first-time parents, Nicole's Childbirth and Beyond course gave us a lot of knowledge to prepare for the birth and caring for our baby. As a doula, Nicole is so calm and supportive. Leading up to the birth, she was informative and gave us lots of insight of our options. We felt informed about all the decisions going into the birth. She was also responsive about all the questions we had, even for late night texts! Going into the birth, we were afraid that we were dilated enough and the hospital would turn us away. Thankfully, she knew better than us and joined us for our birth right on time! Nicole was so calm and reassuring during the birth. Her solid presence was so appreciated during our birth. She also took photos of the birth, which we are so grateful for to be able to look back on for years to come. We HIGHLY recommend Nicole to anyone!!!

Prior to the birth, she visited my…read morehusband and I and trained us on pain relief techniques that turned out to be absolutely vital in having an unmedicated hospital delivery. She also taught us some useful diapering and swaddling techniques. In the weeks leading up to my due date, she coached me via text through prodromal labor and helped me understand what was happening. On the day of the birth, she was my anchor and helped me stay calm through my pain and have a successful natural birth. She always knew just what to say, how to touch me, and what would help. I strongly recommend Amber for your birthing journey.

At thirty-five weeks pregnant with my firstborn, I knew I wanted a med-free birth in a hospital but…read morewas worried that unnecessary interventions might take place, so we decided to hire a doula for additional labor/hospital birth support. I found Renea online & met with her a few days later in our home. I knew by the end of our meeting that she was who I wanted beside me as I labored and gave birth. On the day I went into labor we were in constant communication via text. Once active labor began she came over to my home (with all of her essential oils!) and worked through the contractions with me. She was a strong supporter for me during this intense time! She came with us to the hospital and was right by my side as I delivered my son. We hired her again for our second-born son's delivery and she was with me, again, during active labor and at the hospital. We also saw her for a postpartum visit after each delivery. It's been 2 years since we first hired her and we are still friends. I text her randomly with a question and she is quick to reply! I've said this before and i'll say it again--i wouldn't want to birth my babies without Renea by my side!

Ashley was my doula during pregnancy and postpartum. She was culturally responsive to me. She…read moresupplied teas, oils, and even made me a vegetarian meal after I had my baby! I will never forget when she helped me carve time for myself by making me take a bath. In a time when all you can think of is your baby it was really powerful to step back and think of myself for at least 15 minutes. I had a c-section and she made it a point to communicate my alternate birth plan to my team. Without that, we would have never been able to remember to save our placenta. I am truly appreciative of all the gentle care Ashley provided for me. From paint therapy, to yoni steams, to the closing of the bones ceremony. She made such a meaningful time extra special.

Where do I even start? I found Amanda immediately when I found out I was pregnant. I made a couple…read morevirtual appointments with doulas in my area, but Amanda was first. After we talked for over an hour, I cancelled my other appointments. I knew we were a good fit for each other and I loved everything she stood for and the knowledge she had! I was also very interested in Hypnobirthing. My husband and I truly enjoyed her Hypnobirthing courses. We both learned so much about women's bodies and how we are designed to birth babies. She made the classes memorable and not boring at all and she always provided you with material to take home yourself. Amanda was so good at checking in with us and even came to our house a few times to go over everything before birth. She always made us so comfortable and confident! She helped us with questions we had about our birth plan, and even though my birth plan sort of went out the window, she was still there with her presence and knowledge to guide me through. I truly don't think I could have done this without her support (and my husband of course) they were the BEST team for me. She was simply amazing through it all, especially my birth. Constantly checking on me, massaging me, talking through things with me. And she never once made me feel any type of way for the decisions I made. I truly could not have picked a better support person than Amanda. I'm eternally grateful for her.

From the moment we chose Amanda, we knew we made the right decision but we had no idea just how…read morelife-changing her presence would be. My birth didn't go exactly how I had envisioned. I reached a point where I needed intervention, and that was not part of my original plan. But at no point did I feel like I had failed and that is because of Amanda. She never judged, never pressured, and never made me feel anything but supported. She met me exactly where I was, honoring every decision I made with compassion and strength. Because of her teachings and especially her hypnobirthing classes I was able to handle contractions and even the pushing process in a way I truly don't think would have been possible otherwise. She prepared me not just for the "ideal" birth, but for the reality that birth is unpredictable. I felt informed, grounded, and empowered to expect the unexpected. She didn't just support me she equipped both my husband and me with the knowledge and confidence to advocate for ourselves. She always provided us with information, never opinions, so we could make decisions that felt right for our family. And then there was the moment I will never forget. During labor, a few unexpected things happened not serious, but enough to cause fear. My husband, who had prepared so much, suddenly felt overwhelmed and unsure. I could see the panic in him. Amanda came to check on me, but she immediately sensed where my attention was on him. Without hesitation, she asked if I wanted her to go to him. I said yes, and she did. In the middle of everything, she became his calm. She reassured him, explained what was happening, and grounded him in a way I couldn't in that moment. I watched his fear soften. He was still concerned, but no longer lost. That kind of support... you can't teach that. That's who she is. Amanda wasn't just our doula she became family. She advocated for my birth plan, stood by us in every moment, and created a space where I felt safe, strong, and supported no matter how things unfolded. Looking back, I truly believe my labor and delivery experience would have been completely different without her. I am forever grateful that God placed her in our lives during such a sacred time. Hiring Amanda was one of the best decisions we've ever made and I would recommend her 110% without hesitation

To say that investing in a doula was a good idea would be the understatement of a lifetime. My wife…read moreand I heard about this magical concept as if it were a fairytale idea out of our reach, a luxury item in no way meant for us. That was until we met Kathryn and One Moon Doula. They showed us how we could achieve the dream goals we had for those first precious weeks while also honoring our modest budget. Not knowing what to expect, as this was our first child, we did understand that having someone with us would change everything. We were quickly linked with a few doula interviews and fell in love with one of them. Our schedules aligned and boy did it ever change our lives. I can't imagine not having our doula there for those critical nights of transitioning into parenthood, while making space for healing and recovery. We both slept more than we ever thought possible, while our son was cared for better than we could have imagined, AND we learned so much to build a foundation of comfort and confidence moving forward. No family member or friend would have been able to step in the same way. If you have nothing else on your registry other than a fund for this...do just that. It will change your whole early parenting experience for the better. Thank you to One Moon Doula and their network of Angels.
