Choosing Grace as our doula was one of the best decisions we made, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate support and guidance throughout pregnancy and postpartum. As first-time parents, we had a lot of uncertainty about what to expect, and so much of that anxiety disappeared after our very first meeting with Grace. Throughout our pregnancy, she was always available for emotional support, shared valuable resources, and made every interaction feel personal and reassuring. During her home visits, she helped us understand what to expect during labor and delivery and guided us in creating a comprehensive birth plan that reflected our preferences and priorities. Although my labor and delivery happened quickly and unfolded very differently than we had anticipated, Grace adapted seamlessly and met us at the hospital, helping create a warm, familiar, and comforting atmosphere during our recovery. Grace’s skills truly shined during her postpartum home visits. She took the time to answer our questions, reassured us through the challenges of new parenthood, and helped us build confidence in our abilities as first-time parents. She cared not only for us and our newborn, but also made sure our dog felt included in the transition. Her kindness, expertise, and steady presence made an enormous difference during such a transformative time in our lives, and we are incredibly grateful for her support. If we were to have another baby, Grace would be one of our first calls.

We hired Grace to be our birth and postpartum doula for the birth of our second child. She was incredibly thoughtful and thorough in understanding our wants and needs before the arrival of our daughter and what type of care we would want in the postpartum stage. She was a clear communicator and always made us feel comfortable, safe, and taken care of. She relieved so much pressure and stress with her humor alone. Grace was such a blessing to our family and I would hire her and recommend her in a heart beat.

Grace was extremely helpful after the arrival of our fourth baby. Having extra hands to keep up with the daily tasks such as laundry, dishes, and tidying up is, of course, a huge gift. However, Grace provides care that is absolutely priceless. In addition to filling in the practical gaps so that I could focus on letting my body heal and bonding with baby, Grace attended to my emotional needs, lending a listening ear and gently encouraging me as I navigated postpartum hormones. She made sure I was always well-nourished with nutrient-dense food, plenty of water, and time for rest. Grace has an incredible ability to integrate into our home seamlessly, taking notice of what would be helpful to do each day without ever feeling like an awkward presence. I felt completely comfortable retreating to my room to rest while she worked around the house (all while wearing my baby!). Not only is she efficient, but she does a quality job in every task that she sets out to accomplish. Whether it be folding heaps of clothes, playing with my big kids, attending to the baby, or sharing a cup of tea with me and my tears, Grace brought peace and calm into our fourth trimester chaos. When our time together came to a close, she had made me feel equipped and ready to handle our new normal. I will forever by grateful for her support in this season!
