Testimonials

“I felt so cared for and supported by Heather during my postpartum as a first time mom. Their guidance helped me practically and, more importantly, emotionally, as I navigated becoming a mother. Heather was there for me during my hardest and longest days and nights. Heather is a pillar of strength and support, and full of endless wisdom. They are also well connected in our community, which helped me and my little one connect with professional support like lactation consultants, and also with mom support groups and other families, bringing us into the wonderful world of parenthood surrounded in community.”

"As a third-time-mom with a pretty robust village, I didn’t initially consider myself someone who would benefit from postpartum doula support, but I truly could not have made it through the first few weeks without Heather’s support. When we started experiencing feeding issues a week in, Heather was there to ensure that my needs weren’t forgotten, and that I had someone to lean on for emotional support. When things quickly spiraled and we found ourselves in a different city living in a hospital for two weeks for our infant to receive emergency surgery, Heather was there every step of the way. Heather provided heartfelt and grounding emotional support, often through the night. Heather is warm, compassionate, wise, and thoughtful. The support they provided was tailored to my unique needs every step of the way, and I felt so cared for and supported. Everyone deserves a doula like Heather!"

“I am so thankful to have had Heather as my doula. Heather's unwavering dedication of support was such an immense comfort to have during birth and all that comes before and after”

Heather was our doula for our (very late) baby boy! They were so patient and reassuring with me as I waited to go into labor, and jumped right into action when it was finally time! I felt very comfortable with Heather, and they intuited so much that I needed during my labor. Their calm demeanor helped me feel safe even when labor felt overwhelming and it was invaluable to have Heather there. Their support postpartum to help me and our baby settle in was also really nice, I truly couldn’t imagine what this would have looked like with without Heather!

We absolutely loved our experience working with Heather. As a queer couple, it was important that we found a doula who was both understanding and aware of our unique needs. Heather was knowledgeable, and they made us feel immediately relaxed and comfortable. They helped prepare us throughout my pregnancy, meeting with us numerous times, and sparking conversation regarding topics we had not considered for our upcoming birth.

When my birth plan changed in the middle of labor, Heather was communicative, and was there to help support and advocate. They provided a calming presence, while actively navigating interactions with the healthcare staff as well as supporting both my partner and me. They provided education as the plan continued to change, ensuring we understood our patient rights.

Heather was intuitive and read the room well, providing my partner with breaks as needed when all that helped me was counter pressure for hours, and also giving us space as a couple to be present with one another.

After birth, Heather was very communicative, reaching out by text to check in to see how recovery, bonding, nursing, etc was going, and providing valuable resources and support.

We highly recommend choosing Heather to be your doula!
