Wanted to share a wonderful experience I had this past week! A magical moment I will treasure for…read moreyears to come I just barely 3 months postpartum with twins, decided to step out of my comfort zone & celebrate 3 months being blessed to breastfeed my boys, with a milk bath session with the wonderful Martha! It was such a pleasure! In such a vulnerable time when you may not feel entirely like yourself; or how the world can be so loud with "bounce back" culture .... She made me see myself as strong, powerful, resilient! & also soft, beautiful & my children's safest place!!!! If you're ever looking for a doula, birth photographer, or like me a special breastfeeding session she is amazing! It was comfortable, she brought some beautiful energy to my home & in seeing these reminded me how truly remarkable women are ANYWAYS, TAKE ALL THE PICTURES, I promise you will treasure them one day. Forever thankful to people like Martha who use their beautiful work to remind us how cool moms are! 5 stars is not enough, you cannot go wrong with Martha

Martha was an irreplaceable piece of my birth experience for BOTH my babies. Her images captured us…read moreso intimately but without imposing in the moment. Having pictures to remember these special events means the world to me and she tailored her style and presence to fit our needs and the environment we wanted to create. I highly recommend her - if you're on the fence, do it. You won't regret it.

The nest offers the cutest mommy and me (infants) yoga class. If you are super into yoga, just be…read moreaware this class is not super zen but it is a great yoga class to start moving after labor and socialize with your baby. The class is located inside a dance studio with a different name. Only down fall is the instructor didn't start till everyone arrived (which was about 20/25 mins after), very nice for people running late but not so nice for early birds who tried hard to make it on time.

Love love love all the classes offered here! I took…read moreprenatal yoga and learned so much. Gained so much awareness I actually used what Ifat taught to utilize the positions to make my labor successful. Now that I'm a mom I do mommy & me yoga with Ifat and Zumbini with Laura. It's the perfect combo schedule for me. Baby girl gets to dance and play... then mommy gets to unwind and stretch while gently helping my body heal from pregnancy/birth. I'm so elated I found this place. It's brought me so much peace and acceptance. Even when I was sick and could only sit on the floor during the class The teachers are so perceptive and supportive. They really cater to you physically and emotionally.

Chelsea is absolutely amazing. She is just such a sweet, caring person and you can tell she truly…read morecares about you and your baby throughout the entire process. Chelsea went above and beyond in preparing us for the delivery date, staying with us after delivery to help us breastfeed and a follow-up visit with us to help us get acclimated and help us with additional breastfeeding support. Honestly, when my wife told me she wanted to hire a doula, I thought it was unnecessary, but I wanted her to be happy and have as good of a pregnancy / birth experience as possible. Looking back, I am so happy we made this decision to hire Chelsea. She has a wealth of knowledge and experience. She helped us come up with questions and plans we never would have thought of. And, when we had questions, she was always available to answer. I am so happy we made the decision to hire Chelsea for the birth of our first baby. Also, so great to have Chelsea there to take pictures on delivery day when my wife and I are focused on our new baby and not even thinking about taking pictures. I wouldnt have done anything differently. Chelsea is such an amazing doula and person and we are blessed to have met her and had her be a part of our journey.

Words cannot express the amount of love and gratitude we have for Chelsea. To say she goes above &…read morebeyond is an understatement! She truly gives her heart to this work and is a living angel put on this earth for all the mamas! She never once left us feeling alone or unprepared through every step of this journey... pregnancy, labor & delivery, and postpartum. Any and all the questions, she's there to answer. She also never hesitated to give the hands on support that was needed, even throughout a 40 hr labor. She didn't just help empower me as mom, she also fully supported dad in this experience too! Most importantly, I didn't just meet and hire a doula - I made a lifelong friend.

Dawn was at the top of my list of doulas to meet. Her bio had everything I was looking for. I…read morereally enjoyed her energy and personality upon meeting her. For me, that's a deal breaker. I enjoyed being near her. My husband and I just knew she was the one! Take the time to meet her and if she is the one, you may just know it! She spoke very openly to us; very tell-it-how-it-is. She is exactly the strong woman energy I felt I needed near me during birth. I was new to the area and had little resources. She was able to point me in directions I never knew to ask. This is invaluable. She knows the area very well and has the experience as a doula that made me feel comfortable. We were planning a HBAC (home birth after cesarean). My 2 1/2 year old daughter would be there also. It was very important that we found the right person to be support for my husband and daughter also. She was the one. My daughter grew very fond of her leading up to birth. She looked forward to our visits. I could be at ease with my daughter's position during birth with her support. Dawna helped us make our plan possible. Leading up to birth, Dawna was a constant resource. I looked forward to our visits and felt like she was my personal cheerleader. I really needed that! She knew I could do it all along. This was my second birth, and unlike my first one, I felt like everything flowed with all my plans and wishes respected. Everyone there was valuable. Dawna just did exactly what needed to be done while I was in "labor land". She gave me the encouragement I needed and took a load off my husbands shoulders. She brought me drinks with a straw without being asked. She was like an amazing birth angel. Her energy is very calm, strong/confident, go with the flow, and on point! I'm obviously very happy and would hire her again. Right after birth, she made sure I was comfortable and fed. My 2 year old couldn't wait to see her again. We all looked forward to her postpartum visit. There's a reason why she is so experienced and adored by her clients.

I met Dawna back in 2016 for the birth of our first child. With that pregnancy, we ended up having…read morea C-section and Dawna was a phenomenal support at the hospital and postpartum. Specially as we navigated first time parenthood. We just had our second baby (natural delivery) and we're lucky to have Dawna again as part of our birth team, including her doula services. I can only describe her as the whole package: unique, invaluable, knowledgeable, dedicated, intuitive, resourceful, multifaceted, gifted, flexible, encouraging, fun and all around indispensable. My husband describes her as "heavy artillery" as in "call in the very best!" Though I have the greatest husband and my phenomenal sister was supporting us, all of us agree the experience would have been significantly different without Dawna. She truly has a calling which we were lucky to experience in both types of birth settings.

Besides having a proper table that allowed me to finally lay face down, she does such amazing work, really took care of me and cared about my pregnancies and wellness. I don't know how I would have made it through my twins' pregnancy without her. I'm postpartum for the 3rd time and still use her services as much as I can. The cupping she does really does wonders for my tight and achy spots and the hot stones are my favorite.

My husband and I took Eyla's Bradley weekend workshop. This is information that every woman (and…read moreher partner) NEED to know for their pregnancy and labor. She even discusses postpartum and lactation matters and provides crucial resources in the community that every new AND experienced mother needs. I sincerely wish I would have found her for my first pregnancy (I found her for my second pregnancy). The medical system and your traditional OB provider will never even have the time to explore such topics with you and it's not information that can just be picked up off the internet. I'm so happy that Eyla and her team, it was such a necessary investment that will empower you and leave you feeling supported in every way no matter what kind of birth experience you choose. I really wish we would have been able to take the 8 week course but my husband and I were not able to this time.

I birthed at a hospital, she stayed in touch with me via text to be prepared to pick up my placenta no matter what time it would be ready. She came right away and took my placenta with her.

The whole experience was seamless, I would recommend working with her.

I saw there was only one review of my school and unfortunately this review was giving false…read moreinformation insulting not only my school but my professors. I too am doing the RN program during covid currently, almost on my last semester to graduation. Simply put: if you need help at HCI, all you have to do is reach out. There is not a single person there that has ever treated me poorly, and they go above and beyond to see us students exceed including using their off time to meet with us either one on one for tutoring any time we request help, and also to do extra review sessions not during class hours. It insulted me to see that someone blamed their own academic performance on the college. What you put in, you get out. If you need help- ask for it. Just because the easier decision is to blame something besides yourself doesn't mean it's correct. Yes, some professors do have multiple jobs. Those with multiple jobs or children home in online learning as well still make time outside of class to answer us and help us whenever possible. Administration is extremely responsive and always willing to help as long as you come to them and ask. Covid has made things messy for everyone- but HCI is doing their best just like us to make it work as smoothly as possible. It is something unprecedented that no one has experienced therefore no one will be an expert on how to handle it, yet HCI college did their best and in my opinion has done an amazing job at helping all of us. Even during the confusion of clinical hours- instructors and admin were MORE than helpful and understand with issues with hours or not understanding the content requested to complete clinicals. Also as for accreditation- please do look into it because the claim was false. HCI is and has been accredited, and is in the process of being accredited by ACEN additionally. (nursing schools have two forms of accreditation, maybe this is why they were confused?) My opinion from personal experience of HCI- the main people who have a problem with HCI are people who prefer to blame anything but THEMSELVES before they have to take responsibility and put forth the effort to get off their behinds and get it taken care of- which is simply done by asking! Also if you don't like it here, then leave. No one likes bad company.

I will be honest, I recently graduated about 1 month ago. And since day one of the last semester,…read morethe mentality of the administration staff was to make us fail. I was top student number scoring only A+, and it is sad to see several of my fellow students fail due to this. They implemented several measures to flunk you in a way or another. For instance they want you to pass 5 exit exams including HESI, Kaplan, ATI. They tried implementing a 50% in subcategories, what does this mean. That even if you had a A+ in a class and A+ in the final exam, if you dont get all subcategories in your final exam above 50% you would fail. And most of the times this subcategories had what 2-3 questions so you missed one question you would be at 33% and would have to repeat the whole class and pay 5000 dollars again. Which makes no sense at all. Administration does not care about you, they dont give you information written they implement stuff with out written proof. There where so many incongruencies with the administration staff. Im not saying all of them are bad. There are amazing people working for them but the head of this school is simply terrible. I would definitively not recommend you assist this school. Please look somewhere else if you dont want to be stressed and with a limited chance of graduating. With the probability of paying thousands of dollars just so you fail one question or you fail you final exit exam and you have to repeat the whole semester again, which makes you loose money and time.
