I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sandy! I contacted Sandy when my twins were 6 months…read moreold, and sleep was becoming a distant memory for us. She came highly recommended from a friend, and from the first moment I talked to her on the phone, I knew we were in good hands. Sandy's scheduling expertise and calm demeanor helped me feel much more confident about my babies' ability to sleep on their own. She answers texts whenever I'm having trouble, have a question, or just need encouragement. She was also nice enough to come over during nap time when one of my babies was having trouble sleeping during the day. I am happy to report that my twins have been sleeping through the night for two months now and take their daytime naps like champs! We are a much more rested family, and Sandy is the one to thank. You cannot go wrong working with Sandy, I promise!

Sandy truly was a godsend to us. My husband and I were extremely sleep deprived with our baby girl…read more She was waking up multiple times a night. I was searching everywhere for something or someone that could help us, and I found Sandy's information online! Sandy came over and taught us about putting our daughter on a schedule, as well as sleep training. By 6 months, our daughter was sleeping through the night! She is now a year old, and is such a great sleeper. Regardless of teething, developmental leaps, etc., she continues to sleep through the night. Others are amazed at how well she sleeps. We never thought we would get to this point, but with Sandy's compassionate guidance, we did! Thank you Sandy for all of your help and mentoring with our daughter; we are truly thankful to have met you!

I can't speak highly enough about my experience with the team at the Natural Birth Place! I saw…read morethem for my fourth pregnancy and I wish I had found them sooner. I learned more about pregnancy and birth during my visits than all my other OB experiences combined. The appointments are so personalized and thorough and I felt informed every step of the way. I ended up being induced at the hospital but I was still able to have an unmedicated delivery thanks to my amazing birth team. I couldn't have done it without Maria's guidance. It was the first time I had a provider I knew beforehand in the room with me. I genuinely felt cared for throughout my labor and it was a game changer. I am recommending midwife services to all my pregnant friends from now on. I'm honestly sad this is my last baby - I would do it all over again with this team!

I highly recommend Julie! I saw her with my son and she was excellent and saved my breastfeeding…read morejourney. I knew i had to see her again after my daughter was born. She is so knowledgeable when it comes to breastfeeding and has the best advice and tips on positions and excercises to help baby latch better. She is also very skilled at assessing oral ties, but is not pushy in any way to get them released. If you do decide to release a tie, she has a list of people she recommends who are all great too. The support she gives is amazing. she is always so calm and kind and truly cares about helping you. It makes you feel really comfortable. Breastfeeding is not easy but having Julie is a godsend!!

I was two months away from going back to work and my baby was completely refusing the bottle. I was…read morepanicking, I tried everything I could find in the forums: different times of day, trying while I was home vs. out of the house, different bottles, different approaches. Nothing was consistent, and I was terrified I was just making him hate the bottle even more. That's when we reached out to Julie and honestly it was the best decision. She gave us specific exercises to work on and helped us go slow and rebuild positive associations. She was also just a text away whenever we ran into issues, which made me feel supported and confident that we were doing the right things. I would send her a video if things weren't going well and she would be able to advise on way to tweak to help him accept the bottle. After 3 sessions, baby was finally opening his mouth readily when presented with the bottle, something we never thought possible! Fast forward -- my baby is now 6.5 months old and happily takes five bottles a day at the sitter while still breastfeeding at home. He switches between the two so easily now. It has been such a huge relief, and the progress has been incredible. It was absolutely worth it, and I highly recommend her to any parent struggling with bottle refusal or feeding transitions!

It's been a rough 8 weeks but I felt so much relief and reassurance after just one appointment. She listened to me and my needs and gave me the correct nipples sizing for my flanges. Looking forward to my next appointment. I'm already producing more milk than from when I first visited and it's just been a few days. Her tips were helpful. The office was very homey also

I attribute my success in breast-feeding entirely to Janae. I hired her for a prenatal consultation…read morewhere she taught me how to hand Express colostrum to the point where I had collected ample before my baby was born five days later. Additionally, I hired her for a postpartum visit, where she helped alleviate engorgement in my breast. I would have paid triple for her advice and her guidance for-feeding. She completely changed the game for me and my son. I am no longer inflamed, the engorgement in my breast is manageable with her massage techniques, and my positioning, while breast-feeding allows for my baby to maximize eating. She is worth her weight and gold and is a complete godsend. I would highly recommend her for anyone who is pregnant or recently postpartum because she will completely change your life for the better.

We got referred to Alyssa and thankfully she was able to be w me w short notice. Now I'm a firm believer that everyone should have a doula! She was very helpful with keeping me on track with my goal of a natural birth. Helping with positions, keeping me focused, and making me feel as comfortable as possible with each phase. I will def hire Alyssa if I have another much earlier. And I would say especially if l ever have a hospital birth it would be soooooo helpful to have someone else there helping you. I was able to keep my birth plan I had hoped for. Such a doula advocate now haha

We LOVE Alyssa!!! She took so much time with us during our consultation and prenatal appointments…read moreanswering all our questions and concerns. She checked in every couple days to see how I was doing while waiting for labor to begin. I went into labor at 2:30 AM and texted her at 2:50 AM to let her know and was at my house by 3:30am. She helped me through the contractions by giving counter pressure on my hips (a serious godsend) and massaging my back. She also made sure I was eating and drinking enough throughout the day. My labor stalled a couple times throughout the day so she suggested things to help get it going again (I.e. Walks, changing positions, pressure points). At 5:50pm we arrived at the birth center and she continued to support me through contractions. My midwife swept my membranes and went for a walk. My water broke during the walk and she helped me back to the birth center where I felt a TON of pressure. She alerted the midwife that I must be getting close. During the time I was pushing she was telling how much of the baby she could see and getting me cold washcloths as well as saying encouraging words to me when I felt I could not continue. My healthy baby girl was born at 7:20 pm weighing in at 8.3 pounds. Alyssa was with me for 16 hours during my labor and birth, and stayed an additional 2 hours after to make sure we were settled before we left to return home. I honestly do not think I would have been able to have my unmedicated birth without her constant attention and support through my labor. Having her attend my birth was invaluable and I will be definitely have her attend my next birth!
