We engaged Gentle Seed for prenatal consulting, birth-delivery support, and postpartum consulting. What really stood out is the genuine approach and positive energy that Lisa brought to every interaction together. We never felt like "we were just another client". She always listened and answered our questions thoughtfully - and believe me, there have been A LOT of them! I'll admit, at first, I was skeptical about engaging a doula for our birthing experience. But now I can confidently say that I am a fan and an advocate. If you are considering any doula support, I strongly recommend reaching out to Gentle Seed! Thanks, Lisa and team!

We had the honor, no, the privilege, to work next to Sydney for a very very short time. We came to the decision to hire a doula late, maybe 30-32 weeks into the journey and we received every cent of our money's worth. Sydney was quick to answer, forward and honest in her answers, and took to my many questions both with great fervor and understanding. We knew that every step of the way she was there to support us, lend us her expertise, and to stand bastion for us. She neither shirked nor shrank from the great task before her and words cannot ever express our thankfulness to her. Seeing as this will be our last child, we lament that we did not find them sooner, but they will be forever be the first recommendation to any of our friends who decide to embark on the journey to parenthood.

Molly was an amazing doula to work with! She really got to know my desires for my 2nd delivery…read moreexperience, my needs, as well my prior delivery experience. I had a C-section (questionable whether it was necessary) with my first, and wished I had an advocate to make sure I was more well-informed in making decisions, and especially to have extra physical & emotional support. I felt her calm & positive energy would transfer well to helping me throughout the delivery. I wanted a natural delivery this time for several reasons. She had assisted several VBAC deliveries in the past. Molly gave us so much knowledge & coached my husband in assisting me throughout the birthing process. She used constant pain management techniques (massage, counter pressure, etc), and various birthing position recommendations when things became difficult or I wasn't progressing. She also helped me stay focused & relax between contractions. I had intense back labor too, so she worked extremely hard to help me manage the pain. After 21 hours of natural labor, she helped me make a difficult decisions to have an epidural which could've slowed my laboring progress. However, she communicated with the nurses and advocated for me to receive the help I needed to progress, while keeping baby safe of course, and avoid the OR. After 32 hours, plus 2 hours of pushing (which she also offered great emotional & physical support through out), we met our sweet baby girl. I am so grateful we had her honest, compassionate support. We had to make some difficult decisions & were so grateful for her input & support, especially when we had to make the next best choice for the delivery of our baby. She kept in touch with me often throughout my pregnancy, and after delivery, making sure I was doing okay and answering any questions (this was on top of our meetings prior to the birth, and after). She also provided breastfeeding help whenever I needed it. She even managed to take some beautiful photos of labor & delivery as she was able to. They are priceless, and I'm so glad she took them.

I absolutely couldn't imagine how my birth may have gone without having Erica as my doula and educator! She is knowledgeable, well educated, prepared, and brings such a calming presence. She helps mothers feel empowered to make informed decisions during their births and helped me cross the finish line to birth my baby after an extremely long labor because of baby's positioning. She helped make the hospital room feel like it was our own and made me feel comfortable enough to communicate my needs and wants to the hospital staff without ever having gone through birth before. If you are hesitant about hiring a doula or signing up for birthing classes, this is your sign to sign up. You 100% won't regret it!

I never felt judged or pressured and she made sure I was well informed on everything I needed to know. Amy is open and supportive in a way that mothers-to-be feel empowered and strong about their bodies and their ability to birth naturally and peacefully and in their own "perfect" vision. Her presence set me at ease in our visits together and during my baby's birth because she was totally confident in me which reaffirmed my confidence in myself. She has great resources and recommendations for birthing classes, vitamins & supplements, prenatal yoga and beyond. I always value and trust her input because I know it's something she would use or do herself. Amy has stayed in touch and become a dear family friend after walking with us through the intimate and powerful experience that is pregnancy and birth. We will most definitely use her for our next baby and look forward to doing it all over again.

The difference between my births was night and day. I didn't realize how different birthing a baby could be when you have the help that Deb gave me! I enjoyed the process of laboring through contractions instead of immediately getting an epidural. Deb knew and understood that I still wanted a traditional hospital labor (I have other medical conditions and this made me most comfortable). She adapted to my needs and stayed up to date with my overall health, not just my pregnancy. She was very respectful when it came to how reserved I was showing any personal body parts, a huge plus for me. I would absolutely recommend her and if I wanted another baby would definitely use her services again.
