I first worked with Michelle during the birth of my oldest child in 2020. As a first-time mom, I…read morefelt excited about giving birth but also overwhelmed by all the unknowns. I wanted someone who could help me understand my options, prepare for labor, and provide support beyond what I expected from my medical team. Hiring a doula gave me the reassurance that I wouldn't have to navigate the experience alone. Knowing Michelle would be there to guide, educate, and encourage me made me feel much more confident and prepared going into my first birth. After that, having a doula, for me, was a non-negotiable. Michelle has been by my side for the births of all three of my children, and I can't imaging a birth without her. Each experience was so unique and different, but her support, knowledge, and encouragement were invaluable every single time. I wanted unmedicated births, and Michelle gave me the confidence, preparation, and tools I needed to achieve that goal. During labor, she knew exactly how to support me physically and emotionally, helping me stay focused and calm through some of the most challenging moments. When I doubted myself, she reminded me of my strength and helped me trust my body. What sets Michelle apart is that she doesn't just show up on the day of your birth. She invests in her clients, provides evidence-based information, answers questions, and helps you feel empowered to make decisions that are right for you and your family. Her presence brought a sense of peace and confidence that benefited not only me, but also my husband. She helped my husband understand my needs and how to be a source of strength. She guided him through ways to encourage and comfort me during labor, which allowed us to work together as a team and made the experience even more positive. Because of Michelle's support, I look back on all three of my birth experiences with gratitude and pride. If you're considering hiring a doula, I wholeheartedly recommend the Modern Momma team; they are compassionate, knowledgeable, professional, and truly passionate about helping mothers have positive and empowering birth experiences.

I hired Michelle as my birth doula through Modern Mama and overall had mixed feelings about the…read moreexperience. She is clearly knowledgeable and experienced, and I am thankful for the role she played in my birth. During transition and pushing, she offered guidance and support that was helpful in those intense final hours. I do believe she understands birth well and brings expertise to the room. That said, there were a few things that did not sit right with me. At multiple points during contractions, when I looked up, she was visibly on Facebook and Instagram. I understand that long labors can involve downtime, but she was only physically present at the hospital for a few hours during transition and pushing. Given the relatively short window of in person support, it felt disappointing and inappropriate that she was on social media during that time. It made me feel like she was not fully present in such a vulnerable moment. There were also moments where her reactions felt disproportionate, such as when the toilet water unexpectedly splashed up. Her response heightened the situation rather than helping me feel grounded and calm. In addition, I found the overall value of the package to be underwhelming compared to other doulas I interviewed. Many offered formal childbirth classes (which were extra through MM) and ongoing support groups as part of their services, whereas Modern Mama primarily offered monthly mini classes on rotating topics, which did not always feel directly relevant or comprehensive. For the investment, I had expected more structured education and support. Though I was appreciative of the nice photos that were included. I am grateful for her knowledge and the role she played in helping bring my baby into the world, but I do wish the level of presence, professionalism, and overall value had been stronger throughout the experience. I likely won't hire Modern Mama again although I don't have experience with the other doulas.

We cannot say enough great things about Ashley! She was everything that we each hoped we could get…read morefrom hiring a doula, and so much more. We hired Ashley for the birth of my second child, when I was attempting an unmedicated VBAC after a horrendous experience with my first birth. I knew I wanted labor support for this birth, but honestly hiring a doula was a little "crunchy" and outside of our realm of comfort. From the first meeting with Ashley I could tell that I was completely wrong! Ashley was so real and down to earth, and made us both feel completely at ease and prepared for our TOLAC and hopeful VBAC. During actual labor, Ashley came when I told her I needed her, and helped me to do relax through contractions and do some exercise to try to turn my posterior baby. We labored at home with her help for as long as possible, and when I felt "pushy" she got us to the hospital and into a room ready to have a baby! Her coaching through early labor, transition, and especially pushing was instrumental to my successful VBAC. She was amazing at addressing my fears during labor and made sure I was informed and felt completely in control the whole time, as well as kept my husband calm and helped him to be involved with helping me. After the experience we had, I would 100% recommend Ashley to everyone I know, and would have her by my side for all future births.  Thank you so much for our healing experience Ashley!!

I wanted a natural birth and Ashley helped me get it! I wouldn't have done it without her help!…read more She had many techniques to help me get thru the pain and also tips for my husband to help during labor and delivery. She made herself 24/7 available whenever I had questions since this was my first birth. She's very compassionate, caring, genuine and understanding to what you want. If I had to do it again I would hire her again in a heartbeat! If you're reading this, hire her...you won't regret it!

Rebecca is a rare gem that I feel so blessed to have found to be a part of our birth story. She…read morecame alongside us on our journey to VBAC after 2 cesareans. My labor was long and difficult, but she was there every step of the way. This being my first time laboring I had a lot of anxiety going into it due to unexpected circumstances, and I felt like I had such a strong advocate and caring spirit by my side through our 60 hour labor and delivery. My husband and I don't know what we would have done without her presence. She gently guided us in different laboring positions, softly spoke words of encouragement, gave relaxing massage when I needed it, gave my husband the help he needed to keep me comfortable, and even spent a night in my cold hospital room as to not miss the delivery of our sweet son. The icing on the cake is that I have never had the opportunity to have pictures captured of the moments during and immediately after the births of our first two sons. It is such a treasured gift to have those moments, as hard and intense as they were, to look back and appreciate the journey we took. There were things I didn't have the energy to remember, and when Rebecca came to see me post-partum with pictures of our birth it just made my heart smile being able to relive the experience through her eyes. I can't recommend Rebecca enough. If you are looking for a sweet spirit to come alongside you on your birth journey who knows what she is doing, is incredibly professional, and will make sure you are well taken care of....don't look any further.

She is an angel sent from above to help the entire family embark on a new chapter. She takes the time to get to know you and your goals/ beliefs. She does everything she can to make your birth plan happen. She is connected to so many people in the industry and she directed me towards creating the best birth team. She has a loving motherly touch that instantly comforts you. She is professional and comforting all at the same time. Rebecca went above and beyond on every promise she made. I highly recommend her services.

Kelly has been such a blessing throughout my pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum journey…read more I decided to hire a doula much later in my pregnancy and can say, without a doubt, that it was one of the best decisions I made. Kelly has been an incredible resource for every concern I've had, from ways to support my recovery to recommendations for other specialists based on my individual needs. When I was facing the possibility of an induction, Kelly suggested that I see someone who could help get labor going, and it worked like a charm! Having an unmedicated birth was really important to me, and Kelly played such a huge role in helping me achieve that goal. She breathed with me through contractions, helped me get into different positions, showed me how to push more efficiently, gave my husband guidance on how he could best support me, and constantly encouraged me and kept me strong when things got really difficult. I truly don't know if I could have had the birth experience I wanted without her. Even beyond labor and delivery, Kelly has continued to be such a wonderful support during postpartum. She is incredibly knowledgeable, caring, responsive, and genuinely invested in her clients. I felt so much more confident knowing I had someone I could turn to throughout the entire process. I am so grateful that Kelly was part of such an important and life-changing experience for our family. If you are considering hiring a doula, I cannot recommend her enough!

She has the most calming energy while somehow also making me feel like a rockstar who can do anything. This time, I had a precipitous labor and gave birth just one hour after checking into the hospital! Thankfully Danielle was monitoring my contractions through the app and ended up calling me to tell me to go in, even though I was convinced they were just Braxton Hicks and I'd get sent home. Little did I know, she saved me from giving birth in the car lol! I'm so incredibly grateful for her support, from our conversations leading up to the birth to the photos afterwards. I truly couldn't recommend her more!

If you're on the fence, I would highly recommend her!!!

We paid for the doula services up front in full, but did not receive several of the services…read moreoutlined in our contract. Julie or a back up doula did not come to the hospital at all during my labor or delivery. * I was in labor for 37 hours. * We informed Julie when my water broke and continued to provide multiple updates via text and phone call on my labor progress including notification when I was in active labor. * We did not receive the postpartum support outlined in the contract, including meals and initial breastfeeding support. The whole situation has caused me a lot of stress and I believe it has made my post-partum harder. After we requested a refund directly, her attorney contacted us with a letter containing private medical details, threatened a defamation claim, and requested that we sign agreements as part of a partial refund offer. We did not reach an agreement and are pursuing the refund through small claims court. This review is limited to our experience and the services we received under our contract.
