    Odelia is wonderful! Sweet, thorough, and knowledgeable, she helped diagnose my infant's tongue tie & solve mysterious breast pain.

    I filled out a questionnaire regarding my needs so when Odelia came for an in person consult we went straight to the issue!

    I was EBF for 3 weeks until I came here. The day before my appt. I had my pediatrician apt to see…read moreif my baby had gained his birth weight, which he had and I was told we were doing great. I came in to my apt with a LC and she basically told me i wasn't producing enough milk to feed my child and to go home and give formula asap. She even discouraged me from breastfeeding because she said my baby was spending to much energy at the breast. I left completely distraught and not supported in the breastfeeding journey at all. Wether she was right or wrong it's not what she said its how she sad it.

    I came to MJ Lactation Services with an appointment with Christine and left the office in tears…read more She insisted that my baby had a tongue tie and I had to meet ASAP with a dentist to get it clipped and fixed after my baby had been checked and cleared for tongue tie from a pediatrician and a neonatologist. She claimed that due to this tongue tie my baby wasn't feeding enough and was falling asleep from pure exhaustion even after all other signs indicate that my baby was feeding fine (gained his birth weight, lots of wet diapers, calm demeanor). I specified at the beginning of our session that I needed help establishing a good latch and she did everything but help me with said request. I reminded her of this request and asked her to help me unlatch and relatch my baby so I could practice, and she ignored my request and continued to just lecture me on various breastfeeding topics. At the end of the session she insisted on scheduling a follow up appointment in 2 days claiming we had to closely monitor his weight with her scale. I left her office feeling frustrated, unsupported, lied to, and swindled out of $200.

    It's difficult to sum into words the positive difference this place has made into our lives. This…read moremay be a little long but please read on. My husband and I came to TGP just for information on hospital birth and ended up being blessed in so many ways by the employees there. After meeting and becoming informed by Michelle, one of the owners, we decided to hire a doula in order to have assistance during the birth of our first baby. Their doula services come at different prices in order to ensure that everyone from varying financial backgrounds can have access to this vital service. Our doula, Florencia, was a rock for us during the birth. She kept me focused and ensured that I got the birth that I wanted for baby and me. All the doula services come with access to three very informative classes. Take advantage of these and their very knowledgeable team! We learned so much and met other families going through this experience. It was wonderful. I can't say enough and express how grateful I am to these ladies. They made the community real for me when I didn't think it possible. I had arranged to have the two female doctors at the practice I used be available to assist my birth. The day I went into labor, my doctor and her backup became unavailable. Leaving me to their male doctor who had been particularly unkind to me at previous visits. I was a wreck laboring thinking he would be at the delivery. My doula contacted the owners at TGP and they made magic happen. Through their help I was seen and had my baby delivered at the hospital by an amazing midwife. My situation may not be common but their assistance was amazing and made the community of women empowering child birth real to me. It goes without saying my husband and I couldn't be more grateful for their services. Our little baby boy was born healthy, naturally, and drug free this past May.

    Be very very careful if you use this company to select a doula. Having a doula was incredibly…read moreimportant to me during my labor that I actually booked one from the Gathering Place at only 4 months pregnant. At 34 weeks, my doula contacted me via EMAIL to inform me she was moving out of state and no longer able to attend my birth or provide postpartum support. Frantically I tried to find a new doula but at that point there weren't many options and I did not have anytime to build rapport. They gave me an alternate doula who was listed as a level I (I paid for level IV) and then tried to suggest that their website was not up to date. They were also impossible to get in touch with and only communicated by text and email. I ended up not being able to have any doula support at very complicated early induction due to preeclampsia where I ended up having every intervention under the sun short of a c section to make sure my daughter could be safely delivered. My daughter just came home from nicu and I have no postpartum support - my family does not live near me and with the covid resurgence they are not able to come - another reason why I wanted a doula. The kicker is, the Gathering Place won't even give me a full refund after all of this. If having a doula is an important part of your birth plan or postpartum plan, I would highly recommend going elsewhere to ensure you actually have one when your baby actually arrives.

I honestly don't think I would had done it without her guidance and support. From the beginning on the prenatal visits she gave me all the tools and information to prepare for birth. She helped me ask the right questions to my OB and made me feel confident on the decisions I was making. It was great to be able to ask any questions and know I had support 24/7. I also had so many questions once the baby arrived and on my postpartum visit Lisi gave me valuable information in regards to breastfeeding and much more. I am extremely thankful for Mother's Care and for Lisi for helping me achieve my goals and for helping me have a wonderful childbirth experience.

She cares about your whole self, and applies her extensive knowledge, as as well as consulting with other professionals, to your unique needs. I have used her as a doula twice as well as used her for induction massages. Without Carolina I would have never been able to birth my first born vaginally. She was more knowledgeable with what worked for my body than the hospital staff was. My husband now tells every pregnant couple that we know to hire a doula!! I cannot say enough about how vital her presence has been at both of my births. She holds your hands, while also gently motivating you to get the job done! Love her!! Edit: I forgot to mention that my labors were days long, and she was there for the long haul!! Never leaving my side when I needed her.

    I was having a scheduled c-section so I didn't think I needed a doula. But with two kids at home…read moreand no family nearby, my obgyn told me it would be smart to have a professional on standby to support me at the hospital. A midwife is a bit overkill for a c-section so I decided on a doula. I asked around and ended up hiring Carolina to assist me as a postpartum doula. Best. Decision. Ever. I went into labor way ahead of schedule. Like months ahead of schedule. It was a completely chaotic and terrifying morning. My husband drove me to the hospital but was stuck outside of the operating room with our two older kids. I was in a panic but suddenly remembered "Duh! You hired a doula!!!" and I called her as I was being wheeled into emergency surgery. Carolina got to the hospital lightning fast and was my patient advocate during surgery recovery until my husband and children were allowed to visit. Obviously the nurses at the hospital are there to assist you, but it made a huge difference having someone who was by my side 100% of the time. Women feel incredibly vulnerable after giving birth, especially a traumatic birth. It's important that you feel protected and supported. And it is even more important that you are able to rest while someone coordinates your care. I was able to SLEEP while she handled getting me a hospital breast pump, scheduling a visit from the lactation consultant, and making sure the staff stayed on top of my pain management. She even brought me a ponytail holder and some essential oils. She made a very difficult day soooooooo much easier. I'm all done having babies but if you plan on reproducing anytime soon, you definitely want this chick at your bedside before, during, and after your birth.
