Previous birth experiences in labor and delivery weren't great for me and my husband. Moving from…read moreCA to Utah recently and not having any family in town, my husband and I talked about hiring a doula for the birth of our 3rd child. When Hanan and I first met, my 2 little ones were a little wild and couldn't sit still that morning. Hanan was patient with them and took her time with me. I felt very comfortable and wanted to hire her on the spot. She was so nice, knowledgeable and caring. I knew I didn't need to interview anyone else and she was the one I wanted to help me while I was delivering. My husband and I spoke that afternoon and I immediately let her know that we chose her! Anytime I had a question and yes it could have been a silly question she always answered. She gave us a recap on a class in our home and it was nice to go over things that I forgot or may have not known from my previous 2. She made me and my husband feel comfortable and looked forward to delivering baby. I ended up getting induced. Since my husband had to be with both kids and was going back and fourth between hospital and home, Hanan came shortly after labor and delivery checked me in. She was there every step of the way. I had no idea if I was going to have a non medicated labor or have an epidural. She provided me knowledge along the way. She kept my mind off contractions. She used techniques to help my contractions feel better. She was positive and kept cheering me on. When I got to 7 cm dilated I didn't think I could do it. She encouraged me and was my cheerleader. I got to 8 Cm dilated and I was freaking out. The pain was horrible. All I wanted to do at that point was to get an epidural but I knew I couldn't. I got this far and knew I had to finish up what I always wanted to do. Hanan was right there helping me try to feel comfortable. Again using different techniques and just being positive and calm. Next thing I knew I had to push. Hanan knew it was important to me to have my husband with me while baby was being born. She went out and got him and stayed with both of my kids while I pushed baby out. I am forever grateful to her for being there for us, helping me get through a non medicated labor , being positive and calm and being my cheerleader. She was an amazing doula and gave me a birth experience will never forget. One of the best birth experiences we have experienced. I would highly recommend Hanan to anyone asking about a doula. She truly is the best and know if you chose her you are in the best of hands.

I had recently been diagnosed with GD and although being told initially that I could not have an out of hospital birth, I was determined to have the dream home birth that I have always hoped for.

For every ailment I had during pregnancy, they had a holistic and effective way of addressing the issue. I was honestly blown away.

She still took the time to genuinely get to know me and my wants for pregnancy and birth even with all the missed time. I quickly felt like I knew her well and that she cared for me and my baby. The rest of my pregnancy I felt very heard and in good hands with any all of my questions answered and options given for anything i was wondering about.

Working with Destiny Olsen was one of the best decisions we made during our first pregnancy…read more Immediately upon meeting her during our initial consultation, we felt connected and a huge relief that she was able to walk us through our first pregnancy. Destiny is a guide, sacred witness, educator, incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in the birth world, but most importantly a present, loving, and deeply respectful human. She supported us throughout the whole process and was available for check/ins, meetings, and provided us with so much helpful information, resources, and referrals in the birth community.  She is a throughout communicator and is very organized and well connected in the birth community. She is deeply respected as an expert and we felt trustworthy of her and her recommendations/information provided.  If you are exploring a birth doula or postpartum doula, I truly cannot recommend Destiny more. She is a delightful human to be in your circle during such a potent time as pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. She brings knowledge, evidenced base research, as well as an embodied, heartfelt, intuitive wisdom.

From the…read morepreparation sessions included in the doula fee to tailored individual education for my spouse and I, we felt informed and supported. When it came time to labor and delivery she was readily available for all the questions we had. She was a core part of my care team. On the day of she was present, supportive and gave us reminders to engage in self care. She was a crucial support for myself, my partner and my medical team. Postpartum care was necessary for support and integration with a new baby. She did an overnight with us, day time education, lactation support, organizing and overall emotional support. I cannot say enough things about destiny and how amazing she is. Hands down best decision to have a doula and more specifically Destiny in our corner!

I had the honor of working with Kylee from Doulas of Utah (formerly utah valley doulas), and I…read morecannot express enough how grateful I am for the incredible support she provided throughout my birthing journey. From our initial meetings to the postpartum follow-up, Kylee showed professionalism, friendship, compassion, and expertise. She made my pregnancy and birthing journey truly remarkable. Kylee's warm personality and abundant knowledge put me (and my husband) at ease throughout our pregnancy. She took the time to understand my unique needs, talk me through fears, and helped me clearly lay out a birth plan that incorporated all my wishes. Her ability to listen attentively and offer emotional support was invaluable. She even helped us find our perfect midwife! During labor, Kylee's presence was absolutely needed. The days leading up to going into labor Kylee checked in frequently, Once I had gone into labor we gave her a late night/last minute call and she arrived at the midwife very timely. She brought a sense of calm and reassurance that helped me navigate the intensity of my experience and did an amazing job instructing my partner. She held my hand through each contraction (I'm sorry if I squeezed too hard) and her knowledge of various birthing techniques, comfort measures, and positioning options was extensive. Kylee's unwavering encouragement talked me through the most difficult parts of my labor. She not only supported me in my decisions but also worked collaboratively with the midwife team to ensure open communication and a harmonious birth environment. In the postpartum period, Kylee continued to be a pillar of support. Her follow-up visits were thorough, and she provided valuable guidance on postpartum care, breastfeeding, and adjusting to the new dynamics of parenthood. Knowing that Kylee is there for me beyond labor added an extra layer of comfort and reassurance. Choosing to have a doula was one of the best decisions I made for my birth experience. The passion Doulas of Utah have for empowering women and creating positive birthing memories is evident in every aspect of their work. I wholeheartedly recommend Kylee and Doulas of Utah to anyone seeking a supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate team member for their birthing journey. Thank you, Kylee, for being an integral part of my transformative birth experience! If you find yourself on the fence about whether to enlist the support of a doula, let me tell you that the decision to have one by your side is one you won't regret. I felt heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way. (+) I also participated in a Birthing Class (Hypnobabies) offered by their team which my husband and I greatly enjoyed. It helped us connect with our baby and each other. (+) I also chose to do use their Placenta Encapsulation service which was a game-changer for my postpartum journey! The process was fun to watch, and the capsules were made right in my own kitchen.

I have never received such thorough and personalized care from any care provider in my life. Bonnie…read moreand Karina are incredible! The office itself is very homey, clean, and calming. Davis County Midwives provide all of the routine labs, but I appreciated having more control over the process. For example, I opted to track my glucose levels with a glucometer rather than taking the glucose drink. Their care is extremely proactive with an emphasis on nutrition. Bonnie and/or Karina were thorough in answering all of my questions about diet and supplementation, but they were never judgemental. Whenever I had a question or concern I could message them, and they typically responded within the hour. Bonnie and Karina are both very affirming in their interactions, and they never made me feel silly for asking a question. They are extremely family friendly. They involved my husband at every appointment and during the birth. He was able to be very involved in the process, and he felt valued and respected during the birth (as opposed to feeling like he was in the way during my previous birth at the hospital). My three year old was present at all of my appointments, and the midwives always helped her to feel comfortable and to understand what was going on. We opted to have the birth at home, and had an amazing experience with the Davis County Midwives. They practice intermittent monitoring, so I was able to have peace of mind knowing that my baby and I were ok, while still being able to give birth freely. As the labor progressed, Bonnie was perfect in helping me overcome some fear/trauma that came up from my previous birthing experience. After birth, the midwives would come to our home for each appointment, which was amazing. I had all the support I needed from them through the postpartum experience, and my baby has been thriving. Thank you Bonnie and Karina!

I loved being able to text or call her with any of my concerns, especially since I didn't have a partner or traditional support. She was calm and patient during my unmedicated labor and delivery (even when I was yelling at everyone in the delivery room). If you are considering a doula or if you're curious about the process, I highly recommend at least talking with Katie to see if she is a good fit for you.
