Tracy's incredible knowledge of the birthing process can only come from someone as dedicated and experienced as her.

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!

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.

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.

It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Lynzi as a night doula. She is, without exaggeration, a…read morenewborn whisperer--calm, intuitive, and deeply skilled with infants. From the very first night she was in our home, it was clear we were in the presence of someone uniquely gifted in her work. What sets Lynzi apart is her extraordinary ability to provide expert care while maintaining impeccable boundaries. She is warm, nurturing, and wholly trustworthy, yet never intrusive--an incredibly rare balance. She seamlessly supported our family while never becoming a distraction or disrupting our rhythm. Her quiet confidence and deep knowledge of newborn behavior gave us peace of mind and the invaluable gift of rest. We always felt that our baby was in the most capable and caring hands. Lynzi took initiative without overstepping, anticipated needs before we voiced them, and brought a sense of calm and consistency to what can otherwise be an overwhelming stage of life. We are endlessly grateful for her presence during those early weeks. If you are considering working with Lynzi, you can do so with full confidence--she is a true professional, and anyone would be lucky to have her support.

When we hired Kaitlin as our birth coach, we were so grateful to have someone as knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient as she is to support us as we embarked on this exciting yet terrifying adventure. Kaitlin listened to our concerns, shared resources and information - including giving us the name of the best Obgyn when we unexpectedly needed to move cities only a couple weeks before the birth and needed a new doctor - and gave us helpful guidance before and after the birth of our daughter.

She helped my husband and I feel comfortable and confident going into the birth and super supported. Kaitlin and I hit it off immediately; she is warm, very knowledgeable, passionate, and intuitive. During labor, she was a calming, steady presence for both me and my husband. She tirelessly helped me cope and ride the waves of contractions, assuring me every step of the way. When I needed it, she suggested helpful ideas to both mentally and physically shift things, and I can still hear her smart words in my mind when I think about my birth. She was there when I searched for her eyes, and she answered even my most impossible questions during intense labor. She had my back and my heart every step of the way. As our son was born, she whispered beautiful words into the space, which still gives me chills to think about. In the days following, she was a great support, especially in helping my husband and I navigate early postpartum and in breastfeeding. She helped us so much in getting off on the right foot with breastfeeding. We felt cared for, supported, and in excellent hands. I definitely recommend Kaitlin as a doula, educator, and women's health advocate. Her knowledge runs deep, and her contribution to this field is already and will be vast.

But I am recommending her because I cannot imagine our birth without her. We planned on an unmedicated, hospital birth but ended up in an emergency cesarean. Many decisions had to be made quickly - baby was not doing well - but Kari's presence relieved so much stress. She knew what we wanted, she understood the medical situation better than we did, and she had already developed relationships with many of the hospital staff and was skillful in communicating with them in a respectful manner while advocating for our needs & preferences (I have heard stories of other doulas in town being unable to collaborate effectively with their hospital team). Both my husband and I felt deeply supported throughout the experience. Despite not having the birth story we had hoped for, we both feel confident that we got the best outcome possible in the situation - with Kari being a central part of that. Thank you Kari!
