I continued to see Jaci monthly throughout my pregnancy for massages and also attended her birthing class. The information I learned and the insight I gained through her classes helped me through my birthing process. I also used Jaci's placenta encapsulation services and I feel it has helped with my postpartum depression and anxiety.

I can't say enough good things about Kate! She was the most amazing Doula and friend during my…read morepregnancy and labor. She is truly one of the kindest hearted people I have ever met. I chose to have a natural birth at a birthing center and I truly do not think I could have done it without the help and support of Kate. Not only did she have amazing techniques to help ease pain during contractions, she also brought a calm presence to an otherwise hectic situation. Her peaceful manner helped me stay calm and as relaxed as I could be. If you are pregnant and thinking about hiring a doula, I would absolutely recommend Kate. You will not regret it!!

Lynzie was absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond in every way, not just caring for our…read morebaby with so much love, but also supporting us as parents. Our daughter was a NICU grad, so those early weeks felt especially intense, and Lynzie handled everything with such calm confidence. She was a huge help with all things lactation and latch, which made a meaningful difference right away. She kept thoughtful daily notes, was always on time, and brought a steady, capable presence into our home. Beyond that, she taught us so much about sleep and newborn rhythms, and gave us real confidence as new parents. She also checked in on us, which meant a lot during a pretty overwhelming time. And on top of everything, she is just a genuinely fun, warm person to be around. We feel so lucky to have had her.

Lynzi is just wonderful in every aspect. I interviewed quite a few people and Lynzi had every…read morequality I was looking for, and more. Her quiet strength, and vast knowledge is what I really appreciated. She knew when to step in, when to give space, and I never doubted she would put anyone in check if needed, without me even saying something. She was my doula for both of my babies, and I'd have her again if I could! She's such a wonderful person inside and out.

Let me start by saying Jen is absolutely amazing! She is kindhearted, genuine and compassionate!…read moreShe truly loves what she does and it shows in her work. We interviewed a lot of doulas before deciding to hire Jen. I had honestly already selected a doula I wanted and almost cancelled the consultation appointment with Jen but something told me to keep it and I am so glad I did. After chatting with her I knew she was the one. Her energy and calming voice was exactly what I knew I needed! Jen has been there for me EVERY step of the way on this wild rollercoaster to motherhood! She is always just a text or call away and the amount of time I've called her and spent an hour or more on the phone with her just crying, venting, laughing or bouncing thoughts with her. She's quickly become one of my dear friends! At my birth she was pivotal, and kept me calm by helping with breathing tactics and pain management tools. She even helped me push my baby out. I am so grateful to have walked this journey and to keep walking this journey with you Jen! Thankfully we also added on her postpartum package and she has been spoiling me with yummy meals, foot and back massages, sitz baths and loving on my son. Jen is an absolute gem and I highly recommend her! Oh and I almost forgot she captured my birth beautifully too with photos and videos. And the education she gives during her prenatal visits are like nothing else any other doula does. Most doulas start there visits in late 3rd trimester and show up at the birth. Jen walked along this ENTIRE journey with me. I am so grateful to her for everything!

She was…read moreflexible & able to accommodate changing schedules, great with communication not only about tasks I needed help with but also helping me navigate communication with family members helping out, and provided a complimentary at home massage from a professional for my last visit.

It was so nice and I highly recommend her

Giving birth is exciting, unknowing, personal and natural. To have someone by your side who…read moreunderstands the experience and shares the same excitement is a gift to yourself during one of the most memorable moments of your life. I've learned that when you give birth you need the consistent support, warmth and knowledge of a Doula. Liz embodies all of these and more. During my hospital birth, as nurses were changing shifts or taking breaks, Liz was my much needed stability. She will play cards with you, she will coach you through your contractions, she will hold your hand (or you legs) and encourage you until your last push. From start to end, Liz never left my side and gave me the best birth experience I could have asked for. She's the real deal, the one stable person everyone should have when bringing a new life into the world.

From the owner: Doula is derived from the greek word meaning "mother's helper"…read more Every birth is unique and every birth is etched in the memory of all mothers. I hope to help make the memory of giving birth as pleasant as possible without any regrets. Education is key and as I doula I hope to help parents make informed choices and know their options so the memory is one to be proud of. The top priority of every birth is a healthy baby and a healthy mother. Continuous emotional and physical support and advocacy throughout the birth by a doula gives the parents the one on one attention that all mothers deserve and that seems to be lacking in today's culture. I hope to help parents feel empowered and up to all the challenges that come with a birth. Studies have shown that women who have a doula present are less likely to have a C-section, less likely to need pitocin and pain medications, and are more satisfied with their birth experience.

Blyss is by far the most understanding medical person I've ever encountered. She compassion for her…read moreclients, her understanding of hard times, while still being a place of positivity is unmatched. She advocates for what her clients want and helps them advocate for themselves as well. The specialist she recommends really know their stuff (chiropractic care, breech specialists, and ultrasounds to name a few). I could not have chosen a better practitioner/midwife to be under the care of. So grateful she's part of my birth team. Her weekly prenatal group zoom calls have been supremely helpful during this difficult time. They've brought a sense of community I felt like I was missing during this pandemic. Knowing that others are going through the same things is so so helpful during this time. I love cheering on fellow members as they get closer to meeting their babies and cheering on the newly pregnant people as well! And her Innate Journey class with Haize Hawke was the cherry on top! So informative, so realistic and caring. Precautions were taken to keep everyone safe during class, while bringing us together as a small group of couples getting ready to meet our babies. We touched on the spiritual and the practical. I've never felt closer to my spouse than after we finished the last class. Haize and Blyss are an absolute dream team!

I interviewed a handful of midwives but no one stood out like Blyss. My husband and I connected…read morewith her right away and knew she would be someone we could go on this birth journey with. Every prenatal appointment I felt seen, heard, and cared for in such a deep way. Blyss went above and beyond to check in with me during the ongoing pandemic/covid-19 and during the black lives matter movement. Blyss even created a weekly zoom group for her clients to hold space for us to breath and also connect and ask questions. I was bless to have a homebirth at 41 Weeks with Blyss and she was so professional and caring. Her calming presence and years of experience illuminated during my labor. I trusted her and she constantly reminded me that I can do it. Blyss is passionate about being a midwife, its not a job for her, you can see it's her spiritual calling.

I've had an overall disappointing experience with this practice, and unfortunately I can't…read morerecommend them. The midwives themselves have been great. They are kind, knowledgeable, and supportive, but the front office and administrative side has been consistently frustrating. The administrative staff is disorganized and unprofessional. They frequently mix up appointment times, give conflicting information, and make even simple tasks feel unnecessarily difficult. They don't use email or an online portal to send updates, test results, or appointment confirmations, which makes it almost impossible to keep track of anything. Everything has to be done by phone, and the communication is often curt or dismissive. Another major frustration is that any time I need bloodwork, I have to schedule a completely separate appointment with a third-party lab instead of being able to do it in-office. This makes routine prenatal care far more inconvenient than it needs to be. I really wanted to have a good experience here, especially since the clinical care from the midwives has been positive, but the front-office management has caused so much stress and confusion that I'm choosing to switch practices. I hope they improve their administrative processes and communication in the future.

If there's one thing you can do for your pregnancy to prepare for birth, TAKE DARCY'S CLASS! This class is pretty much like reading all those pregnancy books in one, but on top of all that, if you have a question, you get an answer from a knowledgeable person instead of having to google it. Not only did it help me, but it also helped my husband and he was extremely helpful during the birthing process. Darcy is informative, helpful and is a great resource.

I was at a very low point when I heard from my friend that Estelle was a Doula. She has a background as a midwife in Belgium and so she not only knows how to take care of this mama, but also is great with my baby. She made me feel comfortable immediately. She did baby yoga, helped put her down for naps, gave baths...I could go on. Before Estelle came to my rescue, my baby wouldn't eat solid food. After Estelle, my baby was not only eating healthy solid foods, but I was too. She grocery shopped and cooked for me in my time of need. She truly helped me heal. Unfortunately, I didn't have a Doula when my baby was first born and had a tough experience in the weeks after. If I could go back in time, I would hire Estelle in a heartbeat as my Doula for the birth and days after. Call Estelle!

So happy to have found Estelle as my birth doula! Not only was she my rock through labor and…read moredelivery but also helped so much pre and postnatal. Estelle is not only one of the sweetest, most caring people you will meet but also very knowledgable when it comes to all things birth. My husband and I had a couple prenatal sessions with her before birth which helped us mentally prepare for being first time parents and I also had one-on-one prenatal yoga sessions with her which helped me physically prepare. She was also very helpful postpartum as a lactation consultant. I ended up having a natural breech home birth in the middle of COVID19 and she not only stuck with us through all the changing plans but was also always so positive and encouraging when so many others were negative about going on the path of natural childbirth with a complete breech. She was cool, calm and collected throughout the entire experience and we couldn't have done it without her!! Highly recommend her :)

I felt cared for and supported by everybody at Pure Births through each prenatal and postnatal appointment. I literally cannot imagine how I would have gotten through my pregnancy without them. They listened to my every little worry, reassured me that everything was okay, and encouraged my preference of wholistic care. Pure Births also works with a lactation consultant and a childbirth educator that provide classes at their facility to help you be prepare for when your baby comes - these classes were so informative and they helped me feel lees nervous about becoming a new mom and breastfeeding my baby. I am specially grateful for Angela, she did my intake session and was the midwife on call the day I gave birth, I felt so safe, understood, and cared for with her. You will all forever hold a special place in my heart!
