I feel incredibly lucky to have had Shalin as my doula for the birth of my second child! Shalin is…read moresuch a warm, caring, and genuine person. As a doula, she is extremely capable, professional, and supportive. When I first connected with Shalin via videochat for a consultation, she instantly made me feel comfortable. I decided to go with Shalin based on how experienced and knowledgeable she seemed, as well as how comprehensive her doula services package was. Over the course of my pregnancy, Shalin visited my house several times to educate my husband and me about the birthing process, evidence-based approaches to birth, and different ways to prepare my body for birth, and to go over my birth plan. The whole process made me feel really prepared for the birth and gave me a greater understanding of what I wanted for the birth. I also appreciated that I got to know Shalin more during the pregnancy so that she didn't feel like a stranger at all. In fact, she is so warm and friendly that she felt more like a friend! She didn't push any particular views on me but wanted me to feel supported in my birth preferences.  When I went into early labor, Shalin was very responsive and kept checking in on me to see how labor was progressing, and when we decided to go to the hospital, she was super quick to meet us there. She was prepared in every way and set up lights and candles for the room. The hospital room was a vibe and very peaceful! Since I gave birth in a hospital setting, it was also important to me to have someone who could help advocate for me. When my hospital care team asked me to do certain things, Shalin checked in with me to see if I wanted to proceed with what they were asking. During the labor, she suggested different laboring positions and did counterpressure and other comfort measures, which helped me tremendously in coping with the pain. With Shalin's help and support, all my birth preferences were met! I had such a positive, empowering labor - something I never would have thought possible after my first delivery experience (without a doula).  I loved having Shalin as my doula and I highly recommend her! I can't stress enough how having her as my doula made such a difference to my second delivery experience. I am so happy with how everything went and really couldn't have done it without Shalin!

When I wrote this last time I was the supporting non-birthing parent. Thankfully just got the…read morechance to work with Shalin from the other side with the birth of our newest little one!!

Hailey and Maddee were a dynamic team that supported us in prep, L&D, and postpartum. Hailey was our primary doula and she came in with such expertise, attention to detail and passion for what she does. She listened so intently to our needs and helped us curate a birth plan my husband and I felt confident in, and ensured our medical team followed our plan. At the time of birth she not only ensured all my needs were met but also guided my husband on how best to provide me support to create an intimate and connected birth experience. As first time parents the availability and responsiveness of this team helped us navigate L&D and the early weeks. My only regret was not signing up for this team earlier in my pregnancy!

There were multiple unforeseen circumstances that came up after our child was born, such as illness of our oldest child, Medical emergencies of myself or my wife. They have come through whenever we needed help. They moved things around on their schedule to help when needed the most. The feedback they gave every night was helpful as well. They are truly Masters of their craft. Theyre very good with communication, taking care of the newborn and just overall good people. I don't think I've met a kinder group of people. You could really tell that they put their hearts into what they do. It's not just a job to them. They are here to help mothers get through the most difficult time after childbirth. I could see the struggles my wife was going through, and I did my best to help, but I knew that it wasn't enough. Rebecca and her staff provided that extra edge we needed to help out my wife. They truly are a godsend.

I didn't have a good birthing experience at Kaiser - I went into Kaiser with full intention of…read moreepidural but Kaiser didn't believe I was advancing fast and they asked me to wait until it was too late for epidural; what's worse was they didn't wait for my planceta to come out so they manually removed my planceta without any pain meds. Painful isn't enough to describe the experience. Pregnant with my second son, I didn't want to repeat the experience. Knowing I am likely birth fast again, I wanted to go without pain meds again, with as much help I can get, and natural birth of the planceta. I reached out to Tashina pretty late in my pregnancy. Knowing my situation, she responded to my email right away and managed to squeeze me into her schedule. She did a very thorough interview with me and my husband, fully understood what experience we are looking for and made amazing recommendations. She recommended me with a hospital I wasn't aware of that has great staff and with midwifery care. Since I was late stage pregnant (32+weeks), she pulled all her strings to help the new hospital accept me as a patient. And all the way up until the delivery date, she was only one text/call away for any questions I had. The birth was still painful, but with the midwifery care, Tashina's preparation with me and my husband, the hot tub setup, and her being there as my advocate, the birth was quick, smooth, and no manual extraction of placenta! My second son was almost 8lbs and no tear or stitches. Even weeks after birth, Tashina came visit and always checked in with me to help me with breastfeeding issues, baby colic issues etc. Tashina is so knowledgeable, caring and loving. We will always appreciate her help and she will always be a special person in my second sons life!

I'm convinced that fate brought Tashina into my life so I could have a beautiful, natural, and…read moreconfident first birth. Other than her deep knowledge of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, there is something extra special about Tashina and the calm presence she brings into your pre and post birth space. She not once shied away or avoided any of my questions or expectations for my birth and was so understanding of my boundaries around specific things. I felt absolutely safe and held by her to surrender to birth completely. Moreover, she helped my husband feel confident in supporting me in a natural birth too. All I can hope for is to have her at any of my future births as well! :) Thank you Tashina!

In the end. She was there when I had no one to go with me to give birth and held my hand. This time around I just needed a loving warm supportive person. This was a very special birth because I didn't really need to fight. I had a good team that understood my trauma. Amy was very helpful for my PTSD while birthing. Although I wasn't being assaulted and listened to with this birth I still needed that calming support and Amy offered me that.. I was very lucky to have Amy. Thank you.

She is…read moreextraordinarily prepared, punctual, professional, personable, nurturing, and a wealth of knowledge. My husband and I decided to hire Amy (back in April) for the birth of our second child. After interviewing with several doulas, there was no doubt Amy was the perfect doula for us. We conveniently met at a local coffee shop for our initial interview. Once we arrived, Amy had already set up a table with materials for our perusal and water for our enjoyment (talk about attention to detail)! She explained her practice to us and listened attentively as we described our birth-plan vision to her. At the end of our meeting she provided great materials for us to take home (including evidence-based articles, pamphlets, and the River Bend contract/policies). During our pre-natal home visits we bombarded Amy with questions. Not once did she waiver, and she provided thorough responses and reassurance. She showed us several relaxation techniques and exercises to implement during the early phase of labor. She walked us through the entire process of what to expect and how we would work together to achieve our ideal birth. On the big day, we agreed to meet at the hospital. She arrived well before we did and was ready to hit the ground running. As my husband parked the car, Amy wheeled me in and handled the registration portion and helped me set up in the delivery room (she had memorized all of the vital info/details and was able to answer the hospital staff's questions). Not having to do all this myself was such a relief. She suggested a better position at the time of pushing, continually offered words of encouragement, and wiped the sweat off my forehead, etc. She knew exactly what I needed without me having to say a single word. All of this as I'm yelling at the top of my lungs! After the birth she helped take pictures and even set up my meal. The post-partum visit followed in similar River Bend fashion (Amy will cater to your specific needs). Overall, our experience working with Amy at River Bend was magnificent. We cannot say enough good things about the service and Amy's admirable work ethic. Thank you so much Amy!

We hadn't planned our pregnancy and really knew nothing about childbirth. Jenn walked us through what to expect and fielded all of our questions with ease.

Her constant encouragement enabled my wife to get through the roughest patches of labor and stay focused. She was also great in helping me support my wife through the labor process. The birth of our baby was a wonderful, amazing experience and Jenn played a large part in making that come to be. Highly recommended!!!

I was determined after having my first child that the next two times I would have a doula! Yay me for following through! I contacted Dolphin Doula & Yoga and chose Jen to be my doula. A doula is so much more than just a birth coach; a doula is a partner and sister to help you before, during and after. With my second child we danced during labor in the hospital. With my third, stuck in a diagonal breach position, Jen was there to help me meditate and relax while the doctor performed a "version", turning the baby from the outside to get the head down. Yes, baby stayed head down and was delivered in the next few days! Whew!

OK, so my wife and I had our first child about two months ago. Being new to the pregnancy process…read moreand being a new Dad (to be), there were more things that I didn't know than I did, but the problem was that I had no idea how much I didn't actually know. When my wife first started talking about doulas, my first reaction was, "What could we possibly need a doula for?" Nearly two months after my wife gave birth, I have had a few friends who are now expecting and when they ask me about things that I know now that I wish I knew during the pregnancy, my first response is, find a doula, I know one who is awesome. For context, a few months before my wife gave birth, she interviewed multiple doulas and decided Liv was her choice. From a husband's perspective, Liv was a breath of fresh air from day one. She came to our house, answered all our questions and had my wife pumped up and ready to run through walls when the baby came. During our pre-birth meetings, there were questions I had that I was afraid to ask our providers, but I felt comfortable asking Liv. She showed up on time, stayed late, showed up at all hours of the day and night when my wife was in the hospital and came to be supportive even when she didn't need to. She stayed with us and helped through all the important parts of giving birth, including the good and bad. By the time everything was said and done, we definitely viewed her as both an incredible resource and a friend. I am not a big 'review' type of person, but if you're even contemplating getting a doula, call Liv. I work in the healthcare field and I have never seen so many nurses compliment her foundational knowledge, work ethic and attitude. I may have been half asleep, but I think one of the hospital nurses or lactation specialists actually asked Liv about being her doula for her up and coming baby. Again, all of this is from a husband's perspective, but looking back on the whole set of events, I have no idea how we would have made it through without Liv helping us through each step. Do yourself the favor if you're looking for a doula and at least give her a call. Liv, if you see this, thank you from myself, Lori and baby Harlow.

If it wasn't for Liv, I'm not sure that I would have had the physiological birth I had always dreamed of having! I knew from the beginning that I wanted an unmedicated and hands off birth and she was my greatest advocate. Liv's support was comprehensive and tailored to my needs. I wholeheartedly recommend her doula services to anyone looking for compassionate, knowledgeable, and empowering support during their pregnancy journey. There were so many moments where her support was particularly meaningful, but her unwavering belief in my ability to birth my baby stands out the most. Thank you, Liv, for everything!!
