We hired Ashley for the birth of my second child, when I was attempting an unmedicated VBAC after a horrendous experience with my first birth. I knew I wanted labor support for this birth, but honestly hiring a doula was a little "crunchy" and outside of our realm of comfort. From the first meeting with Ashley I could tell that I was completely wrong! Ashley was so real and down to earth, and made us both feel completely at ease and prepared for our TOLAC and hopeful VBAC. During actual labor, Ashley came when I told her I needed her, and helped me to do relax through contractions and do some exercise to try to turn my posterior baby. We labored at home with her help for as long as possible, and when I felt "pushy" she got us to the hospital and into a room ready to have a baby! Her coaching through early labor, transition, and especially pushing was instrumental to my successful VBAC. She was amazing at addressing my fears during labor and made sure I was informed and felt completely in control the whole time, as well as kept my husband calm and helped him to be involved with helping me. After the experience we had, I would 100% recommend Ashley to everyone I know, and would have her by my side for all future births.  Thank you so much for our healing experience Ashley!!

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!

She was there every step of the way and made us feel informed, confident, and cared for throughout the entire process. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelly. If I ever decided to have another baby, she would be the very first person I would call.

We contacted her around 34 weeks pregnant because I was feeling a serious lack of agency and options with my OB but didn't know where to turn. Kelly encouraged me to seek a new provider, helped me get in quickly with Premier Midwifery (which I also strongly recommend) and empowered me that I could have the birth experience that I was looking for including waiting for spontaneous labor and going unmedicated. At 41+4 we welcomed our son within ±6 hours of arriving at the hospital - sped along by the wisdom that Kelly brought to the delivery room. She is deeply empathetic and knowledgable and absolutely the person you want by your side in labor. My only regret is that she wasn't there for my first baby!

Wow. What an amazing home birth experience. First of all,…read morelet me express my gratitude to all the midwives at Aurora. They are all kind, highly experienced, knowledgeable, and relatable. It's hard to come across a practice where ALL the providers are top notch. Usually there's one great provider with the others being mediocre at best. That's not the case here! Regardless of who ends up being the midwife when you give birth, you won't be disappointed! Secondly, I am extremely thankful for their ability to provide modern care with a holistic approach. The reason I chose Aurora is because they are truly up-to-date on natural approaches to pregnancy management and what is considered safe vs not. Most modern providers don't give you advice on nutrition, natural pain management (because that doesn't exist), nor do they make sure you are ok mentally. From my previous pregnancy, where I received care from an OB at another practice, I was treated as if pregnancy was a medical condition and the provider never asked for consent. They used scare tactics to talk me into getting things and doing things that I would never normally agree to. With Aurora, they take pride in asking consent for every single action before doing so. I had never experienced care where they actually consider the individual's values and opinions and not just their educated beliefs. Lastly, the whole experience of the birth was amazing and enlightening. During my first pregnancy, many things went haywire and it felt very much like a medical procedure. With Aurora, my birth at home was very peaceful and hands off. The midwives assured me every step along the way to trust my body and to do what it was asking me to do. By trusting them and listening to my body's intuition, I was able to have the best, quickest birth at home with my husband and toddler! Overall, I would give them 10/10 and recommend Aurora Midwifery to any momma who is currently pregnant. Although it's most likely my last pregnancy, I would choose Aurora time and time again for pregnancy care.

I interviewed half a dozen doulas but ultimately I chose to work with Stephanie for the birth of my…read morefirst child in June 2022. Right off the bat on our Zoom call, Stephanie exuded warmth, expertise, confidence, and intelligence. I got good feelings about her positive, flexible personality, gentle sense of humor, and knowledge of birth practices. She was also super organized and professional, and her communication was prompt and helpful whenever I had questions. I had two in-home preparatory sessions with Stephanie to create a birth preferences document (for which she provided a really useful template), and she walked me through all kinds of eventualities around birth and newborn care. I even had been given multiple breast pumps from my local buy-nothing group and Stephanie helped demystify them for me! My birth turned out to be absolutely wild--it was NOTHING like what I'd expected based on my childbirth education beforehand. Whereas I had mostly heard of first-time birth parents enduring many hours of labor, mine lasted all of three (very intense) hours and we barely made it to the hospital in time--so naturally, through no fault of her own, Stephanie was not able to attend the birth. This is a highly unusual occurrence. However, she was available to me during labor by phone and text, and arrived at the hospital as soon as possible to help guide us through the post-birth process. She also took precious photos of us with our newborn and helped make sure we were situated before heading home. Our postpartum visit was also a wonderful boost, and she got to meet our baby at several weeks old. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to any parent looking for a caring, knowledgeable, flexible advocate throughout their birth journey. She will equip you to feel safe, empowered, and cared for as you bring your baby into the world!
