I couldn't be happier and more grateful for the care I received from the women at the joyful birth! My placenta was encapsulated quickly and the process was incredibly easy! Our doula Olivia has basically become apart of our family! She met we us prior to me going into labor, answered all my questions and gave me confidence at a time when I really needed it. My birth took place at a hospital, my doula arrived promptly when needed and guided me through a very difficult birth. We initially thought we only needed a couple weeks of postpartum care, but due to an unforeseen medical issue postpartum I was hospitalized and we ended up having Olivia continue working with us for postpartum assistance through 5 months! She is easy to get ahold of, knowledgeable and truly a great human. She treats our daughter as if she was her own and is incredibly knowledgeable about all things birthing related! Having a postpartum Doula is the greatest experience and I highly recommend it, especially if you don't have a lot of family living nearby to help.

    I came across this business on Instagram and I reached out via the business page. I was then sent a…read moretext reaching out regarding some information for pick up and drop off. Considering I was to deliver the baby near the Christmas holidays I reached out to see if her services would still be available during that time, and luckily she was!! The entire process was seamless. She has a variety of services from midwifery to birth photography! The options are vast and there are greatly priced! We opted for the placenta encapsulation with the artwork and cord keepsake. It came out so beautiful I ended up framing it and putting it up in our bedroom. Should we have another baby, I would definitely do this again! Definitely worth every penny!! Loved everything about this!!

    Friend Lauren C. recommended this spot to me when I was considering hiring a doula for my first…read morebirth. Their website is helpful and informative, and we were able to submit a form to be contacted - we met Jasmine on site to hear more about their doula services and other offerings. If you know early on that you're interested in using a doula, contact them sooner rather than later, as they have Open House events where you can meet their various providers to see who might be a good fit for you. I ended up getting induced a week later and did not end up using a doula - while my delivery went just fine without, it's worth looking into if you can afford it, and there is evidence that their involvement can shorten labor and improve outcomes. As first-time (and probably only-time parents), we were more concerned about having someone able to fully explain options to us and advocate for what we wanted in the hospital environment. That being said, WRM has more than just doula services - they also have midwives and a lactation consultant, as well as several classes offered onsite that you can take before, during and after your pregnancy. My husband and I took their 2-hour Newborn Care Class and it was helpful to hear the most important info and ask questions right before we had our baby. The class included a helpful book with free access to an app, and was led by their lactation consultant, Rory. It also served as a good way to get to know her in case we ended up needing LC services.

    I know this review is long but PLEASE take the time to read, hiring a healthcare professional to…read moreassist you during and after birth is crucial to you and your baby's wellness. Don't make the same mistake we did. We hired Emily as an advanced doula from WRM when I was a little over 38wks. I didn't agree with my OBs decision to induce me early so even though I was so close to giving birth I considered going for the natural way instead. After meeting with Emily, my husband and I decided to labor at home and a hospital birth with Emily as our Doula. We only met with her Twice for prenatal care where we discussed my birth plan, and my main concerns about birth. I was very adamant about not wanting an induction. I also expressed my concerns regarding breastfeeding. She reassured me that even though things might not always go according to plan than she, as my doula/advocate will do her best to still give me the ideal birth I wanted by making sure my birth plan/requests are still honored. Also, that she will assist us with our transition taking our baby home. Everything sounded good. And I was looking forward to working with her. She said she can be in the OR during the delivery- she said it's all good because one of their owners actually sits on the board of Henderson Hospital. So they know her there and know her work. On the day my water broke I kept her posted. Texting and calling through contractions until it got really painful that my husband had to take over. Now just to really show you how unethical and uncompassionate Emily and this whole company is, She then asked for more money DURING LABOR!! stating that according to her contract half her doula fee of $1200 had to be paid before she can go to the hospital with us. We had already paid $900, and at the office she said we only needed to pay half prior the delivery and there will be a payment plan. We paid but this just left such a bad taste in my mouth. When Emily arrived at the hospital It had already been 36 hours since my water broke. My Doctor discussed the complications of a vaginal birth in my case. He suggested that I go for a c section because he thinks my baby will be 9-10 pounds & gave us a couple of hours to make a decision. I was so scared and so frustrated. I was in pain! After long consideration, we didn't want to take such great risks and decided to go for the surgery. Prior to going into surgery I Spoke with Emily again about my birth plan. I asked her if she will be there with me to watch over the whole thing and she said Yes. I really expected her to be present in the OR, as she will act as my advocate making sure my requests for my birth and baby were honored. I thought even if it's a c section, my birth can still be somewhat ideal. Unfortunately, most things on my plan were not followed: - I did not get immediate skin to - My baby's vernix was wiped off. - Cord clamping was Not delayed. - Exams for baby were not delayed. - Vaginal swab for cesarean birth was not done. Needless to say, I was so sad about this. Emily bought us dinner, took pictures & then left...since she can't do any sort of medical assistance there, she might as well be just any other visitor. She might as well just text us and act like a virtual doula because she was of no use to us at the hospital. After delivery my main concern was my baby's latch and breastfeeding. Emily sent me a "How to breastfeed" YouTube video the night of my delivery - like I will have the time to watch that?! I could have looked that up myself. These are all examples of her failing to show up for us. The first hours with my child are incredibly important! I needed immediate post partum care/ lactation assistance! Once you're in hospital care they hit you with "It's a liability!" Therefore their care cannot be provided. All their help are now deemed useless. If we fully understood this ' you're now under Hospital care caveat, that they can't intervene because it's all up to our doctors and nurses now, we wouldn't have hired WRM in the first place. When you complain about the lack of care/ services, get ready to be answered with...well technically it's in your contract so sorry. You're trying to cover with technicalities now? From a contract we unwittingly signed on an iPad for one minute on our way out the door. We had a TWO HOUR!! consultation with them, you'd think they'd take two minutes to go through the contract/ scope of services and limitations with you before taking your money. We tried setting up a meeting to discuss our experience multiple times in the course of 2 weeks, Not a single staff member from the WRM office returned our calls or bothered to get back to us. Again showing the lack of care for their paying clients. We're currently waiting on the status of this matter. I'll keep this review updated.

    After being released from my OB for not showing up for my appointments, it was time to look into…read moreother options. I wish I could say it was for more noble reasons that I came upon Allyson. My husband is the smart fellow who had researched the history of birthing and knew a home birth would be right for us. But the first midwife we interviewed took a while to answer basic questions such as, "What complications would necessitate us leaving the house for the hospital?" When asked the same question above, Allyson immediately listed several instances. She even brought out a doll and a 3D model of the pelvic bones to demonstrate. That's my kind of professional! Direct, organized, and eager to share her knowledge. I knew Allyson would be the perfect midwife for me. Like most women, I did not experience any complications during the natural birth process. Allyson and her apprentice, Romina, expertly and lovingly guided us through 18 hours of labor in the peace and quiet of my downtown apartment. I was 36 at the time of delivery, which is considered high risk, but everything went as smooth as it could. Post birth experiences with Allyson were also invaluable. She is as concerned for the mother as much as the baby, which is a level of service unique to midwives. Allyson's post birth home visits are a luxury I wish every family could experience. My experience with Allyson has changed my perspective on medical care, in general. I feel much more empowered as a patient, and know what good care looks like. Allyson spent one hour, I repeat, one hour with me during every visit. This provides ample time for me to digest information and to ask questions. Unlike the OB I had visited previously, Allyson proactively provides the information you don't know you need. Through Allyson I have also learned about home remedies, herbs and more.

    The care that I received from Allyson Butler is the reason why my son is completely healthy and…read morehappy. She made sure that I was having a low risk pregnancy before working with me. She involved my significant other in the entire pregnancy, made sure that my labs were normal, that my baby's labs were normal, that I had whatever kind of birth I wanted and even if on that day it had changed, it didn't matter. She had a ton of reading, audio and video materials to loan to mothers-to-be from her library. She also recommended classes that we could take to learn more about Lamaze, breathing technique, or breastfeeding. She had tips for how to cut baby's nails, how to get started on cloth diapers, and how to care for myself after the birth. I told her I didn't want an epidural and that I at first wanted a water birth. I ended up doing my prelabor in the bathtub then laboring on the bathroom floor in my own house. She was supportive of all the animal grunting sounds I was making and cheered me on. She gave me olive oil to rub on the baby's head, gave me fresh coconut juice when I needed rejuvenation, took some memorable pictures for me and my new family, counted his fingers, toes, took his measurements, had my significant other weigh the baby, and she even did the footprints. She was great with prenatal and postpartum care. She told me what diet I should be on, but also that I should just eat whatever I felt was right. She encouraged me to be me as much as I could be me during the pregnancy with respect to having a healthy pregnancy. She gave me suggestions during my seventh month as to what exercises I could do in the pool since the treadmill was starting to become too hard on my knees. Whenever she wanted to incorporate a teaching moment for other doulas or learning midwives, she would always ask for permission first. She respected me, my son, my significant other and our beliefs. She gave me lactation consultation and helped my son to latch on. She was great about scheduling if anything ever came up and fit me in even when she seemed like she couldn't. She was always reachable and was never more than a few hours away by phone or email. I am glad that I went with her versus going to a doctor or a hospital. Even when I had thought about having the birth in the hospital, she was still supportive of my decision and was ready to do the patient-transfer paperwork and then was supportive again when I decided that the hospital thing was not my cup of tea. For my hundredth review on Yelp, she's whom I'm writing about and Great Expectations Midwifery Care is what I care about. She did an awesome job and if I were to have other children in the future, I would definitely go back to her. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.

I was so busy with my recent pregnancy that I was 28 weeks before reaching out to her. It was meant to be because she still had space in her schedule. Reach out to her early because she takes a limited number of clients per month. I like that she doesn't overbook and I felt confident she'd make it for my labor and delivery. I instantly felt comfortable with Shannondoah. My initial call to her unexpectedly lasted over 30 minutes. She inquired about so much and really took an immediate interest. I felt the same after our first in person meeting. She's so knowledgeable, calm, and personable. I can't praise her enough for what she provided on delivery day. My husband commented that he was really glad we hired her too. She was flexible about coming to the hospital whenever I wanted. After delivery she stayed for awhile helping with nursing and making sure I was comfortable. She wasn't in any rush to leave even though delivery was close to midnight on a Saturday night. During labor she arrived with a literal bag of tricks. She had things like a diffuser, tens machine, a rebozo, chapstick, and energy bars. She jumped right in doing anything that was needed. She supported what I wanted in my labor versus trying to push any ideas. She worked so well with my husband and my L&D nurse at the hospital. Once we were home she came by to help with nursing issues. Again, she helped and didn't seem in any rush to leave. She was more concerned with making sure I had what I needed. I'd highly recommend Shannondoah to anyone looking for a doula.

My husband and I have used her for prenatal massage, placenta encapsulation, lactation support, and postpartum doula services in addition to the birth/labor, she is amazing every step of the way. The labor nurse was so impressed with her and made sure to keep telling me how lucky we were to have her. She is also kind, empathetic, and extremely supportive of what you want in your birth plan rather than pushing any of her own beliefs onto you. Any time we have any questions or need help she is there to assist any way she can. I truly could not have done the birth and initial care of my first baby without her!

From the very beginning, Jillian provided compassionate, evidence-based birth education that helped us to feel at ease, empowered and informed as first time parents. She took the time to really understand our desires and priorities for our birth experience, and she was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process leading up to our birth. We met twice prior to birth and she helped us to create our birth plan. Jillian was available via text at any point, but was very helpful and responsive toward the end of my pregnancy. When my birth plan shifted and I needed to be induced, Jillian was immediately available, offering steady guidance, emotional support, and practical tools to help me feel comfortable and prepare for the unknown. She made an extra trip to the hospital simply to guide us through the induction process. Jillian was by my side through many (late, never-ending) hours of our very lengthy labor. She guided me through the pain and many hard decisions. She was a calm and encouraging presence not only for me, but for my husband's ease during the intense labor as well. While our labor brought us many deviations from our original birth plan, Jillian helped us ask the right questions, understand our options, and feel confident in our decisions. I never once felt alone or overwhelmed because she was always there to reassure me and offer honest & safe birth guidance. Even though our birth ultimately ended in a c-section, I can honestly say I felt supported, respected, and strong throughout the entire experience, because of Jillian. Jillian stayed in our labor and delivery room during the c-section to help completely pack us up to move to the postpartum floor. She was one of the first faces I saw upon returning to our labor and delivery room and she was eager to help with skin to skin and latching. Jillian stayed with us to help us get settled and returned the next day to check in on us. Jillian visited our house twice more for a postpartum visit and delivery. We were always so happy to see her bright, kind face. She brought a very cheerful, yet calming presence to our home. I know if we had labored with her at our home, it would have been a beautiful, calm experience. I also utilized Jillian's placenta encapsulation services and was very pleased with the results. She even made us little heart art out of our baby's umbilical cord. So kind. Jillian's warmth and deep knowledge made all the difference in our experience. I'm incredibly grateful to have had her by our side, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a doula who is both deeply compassionate and skilled. We will forever be thankful to Jillian for being such a huge part of bringing our sweet girl into the world safely.

I found myself single mom-ing when my son was pretty young and needed a warm, loving, and trustworthy Mommy helper. My little one is 4.5 now and Jillian has been a part of his life for over 4 years of that. When he was young/prior to preschool age, Jillian helped me with my Luca consistently 3-4x/week. I always felt so at ease by way of her updates on his eating, sleeping, play, mood and toilet type updates. As he grew and needs evolved, she remains my go-to sitter and even our kiddos enjoy playing together, get together for holiday/other celebrations. She is as amazing at caring for little ones as she is at leaving you feel like she is part of your family. I've also witnessed her tirelessly learn, grow and complete all steps towards being an amazing midwife, and the efforts she has always put into being a doula. You don't want to miss Jillian supporting you and your family, whether that is during your pregnancy, birth, postpartum, or a mix. We love Auntie J endlessly!
