We attended her birth class as well as hired her as our doula, and we are so happy we found her. She has so much experience and really helps you to believe in yourself.

I think it's really important that people know doula support is not exclusively for those wanting…read morean unmedicated birth. When we hired Ashley, I was open to either unmedicated birth or an epidural- I had no preference and she was totally game for either. After I had been in labor for quite some time, I decided to proceed with the epidural; a decision Ashley knew was completely supportive of and helped me through. In that moment, I was slightly worried we had invested in a doula who would now be of less service to us, since I would be having a medicated birth... I could not have been more wrong! I am 100% certain I would have ended up having an emergency c-section if she hadn't been present to advocate for us. She noticed things our nurses didn't catch (who knew you could have a bad bag of Pitocin??), she kept me comfortable through lots of back labor, and she acted as a confident guide through a long labor. She was the calm in the storm for both me and my husband, and we are so thankful we had her with us when our daughter surprised us with a sunny-side up arrival. In addition to her invaluable labor services, she noticed an impending medical issue during her postpartum visit we had overlooked. She helped us be more prepared for what was to come, which allowed us to seek the appropriate medical care in a timely manner. We will forever be thankful for Ashley's presence in our lives, and we can't wait to utilize her services again in the future when we try for baby #2!

Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel for Tiffany. She has became my friend through the…read morepregnancy and delivery of our little girl. I was recommended by another friend who used her services and from our first meet and greet, I knew she was a great fit. This was my 2nd home birth and I knew I wanted to try a new midwife with my 2nd pregnancy. Tiffany is attentive, real, extremely supportive and knowledgeable. Home birth is about choice, power, safety, spiritual, honoring the birther and child. Tiffany touched on all these and so much more. She delivered the facts, research and left the choices to the parents. From a young adult, I knew I wanted a home birth. After watching the "The Business of Being Born" it solidified my desire. Then covid happened and I was sold on home birth. Now, I can't imagine having gone through labor and birth with the restrictions of a hospital. Thank you Tiffany for showing me care, kindness, protection, and reassurance that I can do it, I did it, we did it and now I only wish I wanted more and more babies so I can go through this scared experience with Tiffany again. And the fact that she brings her business partner, Amanda who is another practicing midwife to all births really portrays the support every birther should have

Tiffany completely changed my birth experience - on baby #5. I had four hospital births before…read morethis, three with epidurals and Certified Nurse Midwives and 1 unplanned natural with an OB. The last experience pushed me to try something new this time. And I'm so incredibly grateful. Tiffany gave me all the information to questions I asked in a very non-biased way. She gives you lots of time at appointments and is so easy to talk to. She lent me books to read and helped me feel empowered that I could have exactly the birth I wanted. When I had prodromal labor after my due date she came to my home for a non stress test and predicted that the cord was around the neck and suggested getting monitored at the hospital just to be sure everything was ok and that baby could withstand birth at home. She didn't take any unnecessary risks. The birth was at home, calm and perfect - even better than I had hoped (and Tiffany was right - the cord was loosely around the neck). She connected me with Meredith at Nourish Nevada - the most amazing lactation group that has blessed my life after 4 failed breastfeeding experiences with my others. She recommended an amazing pelvic floor therapist that helped my birth be amazing and my recovery even better. I'm actually mourning that this is my last baby because I'm finally surrounded by this incredible team of women who know how to help you have the best experience with birth, have a strong body, feed your baby like a pro and feel so proud of yourself and what your body can do. I can't express how much I wish I had found Tiffany and my team sooner. But better late than never I suppose.

How are there not more reviews for this amazing team?! I…read moreworked with Amanda at Sage Springs Midwifery for my second delivery, my first was at a hospital. All I can say is - I don't know why anyone goes to a hospital!! Before baby arrival - Amanda made me feel like a human being, not a baby production factory. I never had to deal with an underpaid front desk staff - I always had direct contact with her. She took time for all my questions, never made me do extra, or coerced me to do something. When I was late or needed to reschedule there was never a late or cancelation fee, just understanding that I was a busy person. During and after delivery- I made all the choices, I was allowed to follow the flow of my body, and Amanda just gave me confidence I needed. She of course had all of the expertise to keep me safe, but she never made me feel belittled or like I couldn't do it - which was the experience I had during my hospital delivery. So all in all - she helped me have the perfect delivery experience! I felt empowered by what my body could do, in the comfort of my own home, and had a healthy baby.

I didn't have a single girlfriend here, no family nearby, no one who really understood what I was going through. I was scared, and I felt so alone. BLB changed that. Milk Makers' Circle gave me a room full of moms who understood the exhaustion and the joy of breastfeeding. Music classes became the highlight of my toddler's week and mine too. Sarah's Comfort Measures class helped my husband and me feel ready instead of terrified for birth. Erin's prenatal massages helped me feel taken care of. Webster chiropractic care with Hannah helped turn my breech baby, and my doula walked beside me through the whole journey of bringing my son earth side at home. You will find a village here, one class and one appointment at a time. If you're a mama in Reno feeling even a little bit lost, please know this place exists. It changed everything for me.

This was our second child (our first we didn't use a doula, but wish I had now!) and, as much as I love him, my husband just wasn't enough alone for me the first go around. I knew I needed some added support. That's where Jamie and Stevie came in and filled that much needed gap. My birth experience was extremely positive, full of love and support, smooth and without any regrets or feelings of inadequacy. I know I couldn't have done it without their preparation and commitment. Gosh, the number of times I pinged them in the middle of the night, even well before my delivery... I was always so apologetic about that, but they assured me it was no big deal and that they were there for me any time I needed them. Please, hire them. You won't regret it, I promise!

My partner and I hired Stevie and Jamie to prepare for our delivery of our first born in February…read more2021. In addition to Doula services, we decided to take the Evidence Based Birthing 6 week course taught by Stevie, the CPR class and the breastfeeding class taught by Jamie. The EBB course was extremely informative and helped us prepare for the type of delivery we wanted. I felt confident in my decisions around the type of birth I wanted but also prepared for any unplanned changes that may occur. The CPR class was something my husband and I planned to take through the hospital but enjoyed having Stevie come over to our house and receive 1:1 instruction. The breastfeeding class was extremely informative and useful for not only myself but my husband as well. Due to covid restrictions only one doula was allowed in our hospital room so Stevie joined us since Jamie had just given birth to her 4th baby a week prior. Stevie knew our nurses, anesthesiologist, and OB which was comforting. My birth plan changed from what I originally intended and Stevie made sure I was comfortable with the change and helped me feel confident with my decision. My baby's heart rate dropped extremely low a couple times during labor and she helped us stay strong and reassure us that we were in good hands. I couldn't have asked for a better team for our delivery and I think that Stevie is largely to thank for that. 3 days after my baby was born, I became concerned because he hadn't had a wet or poopy diaper in 2 days. I got an appointment with our pediatrician a day earlier than originally scheduled but still had a day to care for my child. I reached out to Jamie and Stevie for advice and Jamie got me connected to a Lactation Consultant and helped me make the decision on a feeding plan until our appointments. She even brought over a bag of breastmilk since my milk hadn't come in yet . I found out that my baby wasn't able to get enough milk from my breast due to some latching issues and worked with the lactation consultant Jamie recommended for the first 2 months of his life. I am now almost 6 months postpartum and now have a great breastfeeding relationship with my child - something I again largely attribute to Jamie. As first time parents, getting a doula was the best decision we made and we couldn't be happier with the services provided by Jamie and Stevie!

It all started on March 13th at 9:30 am in the morning...John and I were taking about my water breaking and how that would be... moments later my water broke! My official due date was March 24th it was surreal I could hardly believe it was happening... I was able to rest a bit and take it easy till around 3:30 pm when my contractions started. They came on fast and furious but I was able to manage the pain with my AMAZING HUSBAND BY MY SIDE!!! my mom and best friend also helped me through each contraction as they kept getting closer together and lasting longer each time... I can not explain how my body was in full control and I was just along for the ride... at around 9 pm our midwife arrived at that point I had just started to feel the pressure to push. Diane Schaub our midwife empowered both my husband and I to feel confident in our decision to have a home birth I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the ultimate special experience that birthing your child at home provides. After a few hours of pushing at 12:34am my husband helped guide our son into this new world. We are both in awe of the process and are so madly in love with our son Clayton Rae Keady he has brought so much joy and love into our lives and its only been a week so excited for all that the future holds for our little family!

She worked with the hospital staff in the best way possible & together they made a fantastic team. I went in wanting a non-invasive birth (and specifically wanting to give birth standing-up) and with her guidance and encouragement that is exactly what I got! She gave my husband so much knowledge into how best to support me, in a way where the intimacy of the moment was strengthened and not hindered in any way. She also gave my husband much needed breaks and even brought us delicious food when energy needed to be sustained I will never forget how incredible this experience was. When you've had a couple of difficult birth experiences, you just want that redeemed, and that is exactly what she gave us.

When I was pacing the halls she walked with me, and the only thing that helped me with the strong contractions was dancing through them...and she danced with me through every contraction so I didn't feel silly and alone.

Danielle is incredible. Couldn't have asked for a better person to be there in the crazy pregnancy…read moreand birth process. To think some people go through the birthing process without the support of a quality doula is mind boggling to me. Future dads and non-birthing partners - at first I thought the doula was more to support the woman giving birth... which for pregnancy and birth prep is true, but also, depending on circumstances (with baby mama will be in birthing-la-la-land) you'll end up working pretty closely with the doula making sure the birth goes according to plan. Do yourself a favor and hire Danielle. Its worth way more that the monetary cost. Doctors are there to crank out as many births as possible, not to follow the plan you and your partner have laid out. Danielle helps deliver the birth you want, no matter what that plan may be.

It was after the class that we decided a birth doula would be a good fit for our family and we hired Danielle to support us.
