We even set up a call with her afterwards and she was flexible enough to schedule a personal zoom class for us around our schedule. She gave us a bunch of tips to help with our journey.

Sheri was an absolute blessing to our family! Sheri was my labor doula, but it didn't stop there…read more First, as soon as we told her we would like to have her as our doula, she had her phone on her 24/7 to answer any questions I had about my last few weeks of pregnancy. From ways to naturally induce labor, questions about certain pregnancy symptoms, and concerns about labor, she was there to help me to prepare for my upcoming labor and delivery of my son. Sheri was with me throughout my entire 33 hours of labor. She practically turned my labor room into a spa! With aromatherapy, LED candles, relaxing music and essential oils, she made my room so comfortable and serene! She tended to my needs during the entire labor. She used massage, imagery and breathing techniques to get me through every contraction and obstacle in labor. Her experience as a labor and delivery/postpartum nurse also helped to give me piece of mind since she also had the medical background and knowledge to understand everything going on between the medical professionals. She was able to explain to me things I didn't understand, offer suggestions, and be an advocate for me when it came to my nurses and the entire health care team. After the birth of my baby, Sheri continued to go above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. She visited me at the hospital the day after the baby was born and brought me lactation cookies and padsicles (frozen maxi pads with aloe vera and witch hazel... AMAZING!!!), she visited me at my home when I was having issues with breastfeeding, and when I mentioned something about wanting to wear a Moby wrap, she told me she had some loner wraps and brought me one to my home. I could text her anytime of the day with a question or concern and she would respond very quickly. The only way I can truly describe Sheri is by saying she is seriously an angel. Her calm demeanor, her soothing voice, her graciousness, gentleness, sincerity, patience and love for her job make her someone you just want to be around, especially during this very intimate time in your life. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend Sheri to anyone looking for a labor or postpartum doula. We don't know how we would have done it without her. She will be a special person in ours and our son's life forever.

My husband and I sought out a doula after experiencing a very rough first trimester mentally and emotionally. I knew after going through a rough pregnancy and PP with my first child that it would be a good idea to bring on additional support. I researched multiple doulas, and after interviewing another person who in my opinion was tied for first-- something told me to go with Amanda... And I'm so glad I did. The thing that I gravitated toward the most with her was her empowering, yet calm energy as well as the fact that she herself is a mother and has experienced birth. She connected with me on so many levels during my pregnancy and labor/delivery. Even having such an involved and supportive husband, Amanda provided support and assistance in ways we never could have done on our own. I felt so comfortable and grateful to have her in my pregnancy journey/labor & delivery experience. It wouldn't have been the same without her. Her doula service is well worth the money and I would absolutely use her again! Thank you so much Amanda

Updating this review to say I actually went forward with hiring a doula after attending the…read moreHypnobirthing classes. I went with Lucy who ended up being the perfect fit for our family. As this was our first born child, I was looking for someone who would be the best advocate for our wishes as well as someone who would be the other person in the room in this very special time. Lucy was both professionally exactly what we needed and personally just such a joy to have around. For some context, both my husband and I work in tech and appreciate data and evidence to make decisions. We also are fairly utilitarian but birth like pregnancy (and many other things in life!) can be very emotional and unpredictable! I wasn't particularly attached to having an unmedicated vaginal birth, but my research deemed it to be the best (read: least cons for me, all paths to birth have something). I was open to pivoting if needed. We met with Lucy twice in-person to discuss our birth plan. She was incredibly responsive through text throughout my entire pregnancy. She was proactively checking in and answered my many questions, no matter how small. I also particularly loved how Lucy educated my husband on many items. Being pregnant my mind was constantly on the pregnancy, the baby and the changes in our future and Lucy was a great resource for my husband to learn from. Our son ended up coming a whole month early and I had severe pre-eclampsia (which has serious complications for the mother (seizures/eclampsia, stroke) and baby (preterm birth, low birth weight)). Needless to say, everything moved fast and what I thought would just be a blood pressure check ended up being 7 days in the hospital with a lot of decisions. The pivot mentioned above was needed at many turns through that week. Lucy was THE needed soundboard for all the thinking my husband and I had to do throughout that truly harrowing time. I ended up needing to have a c-section but felt good about the path and final decision to go that route. I am really grateful for that because I know that's not the case for many moms. Lucy presented all the necessary information in an objective way and at no point pushed anything on us. The hospital environment can feel like a pressure cooker and Lucy never added to the stress. She also was great at asking questions to our providers, identifying gaps in explanations or giving us context in real time. We're all healthy and good on the other end now and I have Lucy to thank for even getting us to go the hospital that first night I had had the high blood pressure signal. (I was in denial and didn't want to go! She also firmly instructed us to go to the hospital with more NICU resources which I wouldn't have thought to do had we not hired her.) She continues to be a helpful resource in postpartum and has only had my best interests in mind and at heart. As a new mom, navigating this transition with a supportive, knowledgeable, and deeply empathetic human being has been amazing. She has also opened up her network and resources - through Lucy I have a lactation consultant I ADORE, as well as last-minute hired someone to encapsulate my placenta. Each doula relationship is particular to the parents and their needs, but I deeply endorse working with Lucy. As noted by many other reviews on this page, Lucy was critical for this life event!

This review is for Meghans doula service. Very long review-hope it helps:…read more I had my baby in 2017 - overdue review. Meghan was amazing at answering all my random questions as this was my first baby. I was looking for a doula to help me in delivering my baby naturally. I didnt want pytosin or an epidural so i interviewed a few doulas and Meghan sounded perfect. I didnt want a doula who would act like a doctor and argue with my ob during my delivery. I just wanted someone who would help me with managing the pain and to coach me while i delivered. I knew the pain was going to be bad and an epidural would sound great so i wanted someone to push me and remind me why i wanted a natural birth. From the day I meet with her up to the day i delivered, Meghan was amazing like i mentioned before. Quick at replying to texts, answering questions, just amazing so i was excited to know she would be present during delivery. The day i began having contractions she was on the phone repying back making sure i was ok. She showed up and everything was great. Of course as soon as i got to the hospital, the nurses offered pytosin which i declined. The pain increased and Meghan offered help with the medicine ball and other methods to ease pain. When night came and the pain was to much, i was disapointed that she just kind of sat back and watched. This is when i needed her coaching, her encouraging me to fight through the pain, that everything was going to be ok, that the pain would get worse but then better when id see my baby for the first time, helping me with my breathing something like that. The room i delivered at had ONE fold out chair for my husband to sleep in. She set up post and passed out in that chair. My poor husband had nothing to rest on but a standard plastic chair. I was in pain so i didnt find out about this until after i had delivered my baby and was home. In the end i did get and epidural and my birth did not go as i had hoped. She was there when i delivered my baby and was helping me with pushing. She took some amazing pictures that captured some beautiful moments which im forever grateful for. I do feel like hiring a doula was a waste of my money in that she didnt really encourage me and push me to keep going which is why i wanted a doula. I do understand it was my decision but thats why i hired her, to help me be strong. The contract also uncluded 2 postpartum visits, she only came to 1. The final visit we scheduled but she never showed up. I hope this helps anyone also looking for a doula. Would i hire her again, not for her doula service. Shes a very loving and caring person but not the strong woman i needed for a natural birth. Her salves are great. I cant really speak on the ecapsulation service sense i didnt get that.
