I loved having Chelsie as a doula. Between her quick response to my initial inquiry and our first phone conversation where we connected, I knew she would be a good fit for my birth experience. Even though I was worried I might be "bugging her" with all my prodromal labor (AKA false alarms) and not knowing whether it was time for baby yet, she assured me it was normal. When it was finally time for baby to come, my plans had to change a bit, and Chelsie was there to advocate for me the whole time. Between hip squeezes, massage, and even braiding my hair, she was available for whatever I needed as I labored. I was very grateful to have Chelsie as a continued resource in my postpartum period as well since questions continue to come up with breastfeeding, healing, etc. I would encourage you to consider hiring Chelsie for a wonderful birth experience!

I was incredibly blessed to find Chelsie for my doula. There are few moments as memorable and life-altering as giving birth, and who you have present is just as important. Chelsie commands the atmosphere to be warm and positive, thus curating an exceptional experience. She posseses a natural strength making her an effective advocate for the mom. The marriage of her knowledge and practical application fuses together creating an ideal doula.
The moment she arrived to my home birth, I knew I was safe and had the support I needed to get through anything. During labor, Chelsie anticipated my every need and helped me stay calm and positive through contractions. I am incredibly thankful to have had her as my doula and would not hesitate to hire her again.

Chelsie was fantastic support. I texted her when I was pretty sure I was in early labor and after I called her to say it was time she was at my home within a few contractions (I think). She provided great support when my wife had to go be with my daughter everytime she woke up at night, she was there to cheer me on while I breathed through each contration. I look back on the birth with fondness and a of being feeling encompassed in support. I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed at one point with back to back contractions (especially after my midwife telling me I was 5 cm) but Chelsie's presence and encouragment helped me to stay calm. Thank you Chelsie for everything!
