I couldn't recommend Noleen more! I actually had no plans to have a doula for my first pregnancy…read moreuntil I was at a birthing class and found out that I was one of the only ones there who hadn't secured a doula. After doing some research, I found that my insurance covered doula services, so I immediately began researching doulas. I came across Noleen and noticed her across the board 5 star reviews. At this point, I was 36 weeks pregnant and thought "There is no way this woman is going to be available for my delivery." I reached out to her on a Friday night and she responded back within a few hours! We briefly corresponded over the weekend and had a meeting set up for the next week. I'm SO grateful she was available. I enjoyed learning from her and hearing her balanced perspective about labor and delivery. It quickly became apparent that as a woman going through all of this the first time, having a doula was a must! By the time I went into labor a few weeks later, I texted Noleen, who was in labor with another patient. I was heartbroken to think she may miss my labor. She was able to send a backup doula to my birthing center, but that was only needed for a few hours before Noleen went from her other labor into mine (with maybe a few hours rest in between). Noleen showed up in the morning on a Tuesday and my baby wasn't born until the following day (Wednesday) at 9:23am. So to think Noleen went from one labor to the next with very minimal rest shows that she is superwoman! My labor wasn't an easy one and I REALLY struggled to relax and just allow everything to loosen up. I would get so tense, which ended up prolonging labor to the point where I requested to be transferred from the Birthing Center to a hospital so that I could get an epidural. I was scared that Noleen, my birthing team and my spouse would be disappointed in me, but Noleen was so reassuring that this was the right move for me. I felt supported and understood. There were many moments in the labor where it was so helpful to have Noleen there to answer questions, provide perspective and expertise. Which was incredibly helpful for my spouse as well. It felt like he and Noleen were partners in the birthing process. It's now something I tell all expecting couples is that the Doula is there for the husband just as much as she's there for the wife. My husband really appreciated having her there to ask questions (and vent about the prolonged process!). I also got the package with the photography and the photos Noleen took are so very special to us. It's actually hard to narrow down which ones to frame. There is one that Noleen captured of my husband crying immediately after the baby was born. It's something I didn't notice or even see because I was so focused on the baby. But every time I see that picture, I tear up (currently tearing up as I'm writing this!). I never would have known that moment even existed without Noleen capturing it! We also had her do the postpartum visit with photos and I've sent them to so many family members and they all agree that Noleen did a fantastic job! I could go on and on, but I want others to read this, so I don't want to be too lengthy :). I will definitely be reaching out to Noleen as soon as I find out I'm pregnant with baby #2 (God willing!).

Initially, it seemed sort of unlikely that she would be the one at my birth due to the timing of some international travel for her, and even though baby's timing and hers ended up aligning, I was always confident I would have the care I needed thanks to her thorough backup plans. I was in touch with her and a backup doula while she was away. Noleen helped keep me grounded through transition, encouraged me through pushing and captured moments that will forever be amazing to my family and me. She is easy to talk to, confident and assertive - you definitely want her at your birth! And all the help before and after as well

I cannot stress enough the value of having the support of a postpartum doula as you navigate recovery, and Lori is truly the best of the best!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Stephanie -- she is truly exceptional!

She is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, patiently answering all of my questions and making sure I felt confident every step of the way. Beyond her expertise, what really sets her apart is her encouragement and genuine care. She made me feel supported, empowered, and never rushed -- like I truly mattered as a client and as a mom. She was an absolute joy to work with, and I'm so grateful for the guidance and reassurance she provided. I would highly recommend her as the TOP lactation consultant to work with in the East Valley -- anyone would be lucky to have her on their postpartum journey!

With my first, we did hypnobirthing classes, but only made it to week 3 of 5(he was a preemie). I had a mostly natural birth, but still felt completely out of control. When I found out I was pregnant with our second, I knew I wanted to do things differently, and Jessica was absolutely the answer. She was able to ensure that my husband and I were fully prepared, educated, and empowered. COVID regulations hit DAYS before I went into labor, and she pivoted on a dime. She made sure that even though she was unable to be with us in the hospital, both my husband and I were 100% ready to take charge of the birth of our son. Hiring her is absolutely the best decision you could possibly make.

She educated me, helped me with hypnobirthing techniques, and supported me (and my hubby) during my pregnancy and leading up to labor. Because of covid I knew she wouldn't be allowed in the hospital but she had already given me so much - including helping me decide to change prenatal care and birthing hospital which I'm SO GLAD I did. I was able to find a hospital with midwives that was on board with my birth plan! The plan was that she would come to my house and labor with me as long as possible before going to the hospital and she would teach my husband how to support me as well. That's exactly what happened when I went Into labor. She basically did all the work with me at home, helping me manage pain and helping me trust that I could have the unmedicated labor I wanted (even when I doubted myself). Thanks to her I did it! By the time I got to the hospital I was 9 cm dilated! She had helped me do all the work at home, my baby was born 20 minutes after getting to the hospital they didn't have time for any intervention, and I'm so glad everything went according to my birth plan. But it's only because I had Jessica through it all!

I knew I wanted a doula for my labor/birth, and had a doula recommended to me by a friend. I…read moreprocrastinated on contacting her, and by the time I did- she was booked. So, about 10 weeks before I was due I started the search for another doula and came across both Lora, and Chelsea, individually. I contacted them and they let me know they had recently teamed up and were available. We had a zoom call with them and my husband and I decided to book them for our August birth. Chelsea & Lora came for a home visit in June, so we could meet them and discuss initial ideas about my labor/birth/etc. They both brought their individual strengths and so much knowledge. They then came back a few weeks before I was due to discuss plans for when i went into labor, comfort measures, etc. They were both there any other time my husband and I had a question throughout the whole process as well. I had a long, long (44 hour) labor and we (mainly my husband) were in contact with Chelsea/Lora the entire time. About 22 hours in, once the pain had gotten pretty bad, Lora came to our house at 8pm. She quietly supported us and helped get through the contractions. At midnight, Chelsea swapped in so Lora could get some rest. Chelsea encouraged me to keep moving and try different things to help progress labor. When we thought it was time to go to the birth center, Chelsea came with us. When I finally ended up being admitted, Lora was the doula who ultimately joined us at the birth center- and spent over 12 hours there with us. I had mentioned during one of our previous meetings that I would love it if the doula who was present could snap some pictures during the day of labor/birth- I wasn't looking for anything too fancy or professional but just wanted some iphone pics. Lora went above and beyond, using her own camera to take lots of pictures and a video of the birth- which we haven't seen yet but are so excited for! Both Lora & Chelsea truly went above and beyond, and are a perfect complementary team. They came for a 2 week postpartum visit and it felt like having friends over to meet the baby- we cannot recommend them and their services enough & will definitely be using them for baby 2!

I have been telling every friend and provider I can about her. Trine is the IBCLC I wish I had found with my first child and I'm so thankful I've found her now. Her office space is welcoming, clean, easy to access, and conducive to the work she does. She explains everything she is doing and empowers caregivers to learn what she is doing with your baby so you can take it home and feel confident. She gives so much information, but don't worry, she knows that postpartum caregivers have so much on their minds so she doesn't expect you to remember every single thing she says. Her way to support you is to provide a detailed but succinct visit note in a timely manner after your visit. She encourages you to ask questions and no question is silly. She also is very understanding if you walk into your appointment and your baby immediately has a massive diaper blowout. Ask me how I know. I highly recommend Trine to anyone needing this type of support.

I instantly felt comfortable with Trine when I entered her office, it was very welcoming and inclusive. Her energy is beautiful and safe as well. I trust her whole heartedly with my postpartum breastfeeding care plan and I've already seen such a difference after my first visit.
