Helen Martin 是一位很棒的导乐，她让我的孕期和分娩经历变得截然不同。
Helen 有一种非常随和的气质，让我和我的伴侣一开始就觉得和她在一起非常舒服。
我告诉她，我的一个主要关注点是希望她能帮助我的伴侣更好地在我们儿子出生时支持我。而当真正到了那个时刻，她在这方面做得非常好。她支持他，并指导他如何帮助我。
在我儿子出生前，Helen 还和我们一起参加了 BTC 的分娩课程。我们在分娩前做的准备工作越多，我就感到越有准备、越有信心。
在与她合作的整个期间，Helen 也一直都可以通过短信回答问题或处理我的担忧。这让我感到非常安心。
在剧烈的宫缩和疼痛中，Helen 一直陪在我身边，把我拉回现实，提醒我通过呼吸来度过宫缩。我非常感激她在那里引导我、支持我。有她在，我感到非常安全、非常安心。
后来因为并发症，我们最终不得不去医院。即使当时我已经非常疲惫、精疲力尽，Helen 仍然为我的意愿发声。她提醒我自己已经走了多远，也提醒我我想要什么，以及为什么想要那样。我对此永远心怀感激。
我个人在产后很难信任别人照看我的儿子。通过和 Helen 一起经历分娩，我对她建立了很多信任。后来 Helen 来我们家做产后上门探访时，我完全放心让她照看我的儿子。
我强烈推荐 Helen Martin 作为导乐。我计划在未来所有孩子的分娩中都请她做导乐。她为我做了准备，她支持了我，并且在医院里为我发声，确保我获得充分信息并被听见。
爱你的，
Lindsey Pierpont

Helen 作为一名导乐，远远超出了我的预期！我第一胎是一次计划外剖宫产，所以在生第二个宝宝时我非常紧张。就在那时我联系了 Helen，她给了我非常大的帮助！她给了我很多关于分娩的信息，甚至还鼓励我和我丈夫去参加一门分娩舒缓技巧课程（她当时也在场）。她还给了我一些肯定语卡片，我在整个孕期都经常使用。我相信，如果不是因为她以及上帝的恩典，我不可能成功实现 VBAC（剖宫产后阴道分娩）！Helen 在产后也帮了我很多。她不仅照顾我的新生儿，还会照看我那个精力极其旺盛的幼儿，这样我就有机会安安静静地洗个澡。她一边哄我的宝宝睡觉，一边给我的大宝读书。而且除此之外，她还处理了大量家务。她对我们家来说真的是极大的祝福，我非常感恩上帝把她带到我们身边。如果将来我们还会有更多孩子，我们一定很希望再次请 Helen 做我们的导乐！

Words cannot describe how grateful we were to have Helen be a part of our pregnancy and labor journey. She was there for us every step of the way.
When we went into labor, Helen was by my side, the minute we arrived at the birth center. She guided and massaged me through nearly 15 hours of intense labor. Due to complications with my baby wedged into the right side of my pelvis, we had to transfer to the hospital. Having Helen’s expertise and reassurance guiding me through the hospital process, put my mind at ease. I felt informed of each medical step we had to take through having the epidural, inducing and eventually an emergency C-Section. Helen was there through nearly 2 days of labor in the birth center and hospital. Ryden was born July 4 completely healthy and happy. After 2 days of labor, Helen even took the time to visit me the following day to see how we were.
We couldn’t have persevered through this labor without Helen’s love and support. The bond between my doula Helen and I will forever be in my heart.
Love Tanya, Rodrick and baby Ryden

Choosing Helen to be our doula was one of the best decisions we could have made. As a first time mother and one of the first of family and friends to have a baby, I felt in over my head before we decided to have Helen become our doula. Helen gave me so much information without it feeling overwhelming. She was always there checking in on me and gave me the confidence to make sound decisions on my birth. Births don't always go as planned, and mine was such the case, but Helen made sure that I could make decisions based on truly what I wanted and I believe that thanks to her I was able to avoid a traumatic birth experience. She also was able to help me through contractions when my husband went to get us food, and after the baby came she sat with me while my husband was in the nursery with our son who needed extra care. Helen is excellent and keeping a level head and helped me stay calm, and she was there to pray with us as requested. She has been checking in on us after the birth and has gone above and beyond throughout this entire experience. She is kind, she listens, she is professional and she is so supportive. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Helen is an amazing person and doula! If you are thinking about working with her, do not hesitate! Helen helped me and my newborn son as a postpartum doula for multiple nights. I cannot emphasize enough how engaged, caring, and trustworthy Helen is! My son has some medical needs and Helen was willing to learn how to safely care for him. She is a fast learner and I was able to 100% trust her to provide loving and safe care to my baby overnight. Helen is a warm and accepting person. I would have hung out with Helen and talked with her all night if I wasn't so sleep deprived! Thank you Helen! I'm so grateful for you!

I believe hiring Helen Martin as my doula for the birth of my 6th child was worth it. I have never had a doula before and it was a new experience for me. I hired Helen because I wanted to have a epidural free birth in the hospital. I achieved my goal of having a beautiful epidural free birth. Helen helped make that possible! She was an amazing support person for my husband as well as for me. She was right there when I had a question, even at 3 am. She would respond right away via text message and checked in reguraly. In labor she stepped in and was attentive down to the littlest detail. Helen cares and is giving of her time. It is so nice to have the extra helping hand and listening ear during the time leading up to and during labor. You can rely on Helen and would reccomend you hire her as a doula for your labor. I met with Helen a few times before my due date and it was encouraging to have someone to talk to. I mentally worked through a few hard times in my past labors. Helen brought a fresh and encouraging perspective to some of those mental challenges I was having. She is a treasure trove of resources. I am forever greatful to Helen and the postive experience she brought to my labor! Thank you again Helen.

I knew I wanted a doula but wasn't sure I could find one who matched my values and understood my wants and needs for my birth, but once I reached out to Helen and she and I connected, I knew right away she was the one for us. She is amazing help in all ways - preparation, emotional support, communication, labor and delivery, education, resource sharing, and so much more. She was knowledgeable, compassionate, and calming throughout the whole pregnancy, labor/delivery, and postpartum process. Additionally, I can't thank her enough for being there for my birth, I don't think my husband and I would have gotten through it without her. She made sure everything ran smooth and was a constant shoulder to lean on. If you're on the fence about a doula - hire Helen. Worth the expense and she will not disappoint!

I had the pleasure of having Helen as my Doula for postpartum care and highly recommended her exceptional services. Throughout her visits to our home, she brought with her not only humble expertise, but also a sense of warmth and calm. Being a first time mother felt very nerve-racking as did taking help, but from the first day Helen was with us she was able to immerse herself into our family and made me feel comfortable and supported. Her positive demeanor is infectious, making even the hardest days of postpartum seem brighter and more manageable. Helen's ability to keep our newborn daughter content and well cared for put all of my fear and anxiety towards being away from her at ease. Every time she entered the room my daughter would hear her voice and start glowing. Helen would play, sit, bounce, read and rest with my newborn for hours at a time. In the midst of massive snow storms or trying to work around our crazy schedule, she was always there for us. In addition to being an excellent doula, having Helen around for me and my family was a pleasure. She has a wonderful personality that makes her not just a doula, but a great friend. I am forever grateful for the time she spent with us and the care she provided my family. My daughter and household thrived under her care. I believe anyone in the community who receives Helen’s services will be well-served.

I chose Helen because she was extremely supportive of my desire to vbac at home. My goal was a vaginal delivery, and if transfer to a hospital necessary that's fine. She was so supportive the entire pregnancy and offered tons of resources and handouts for me to process trauma, work through my feelings, and support a vaginal birth. She responded to my texts promptly and during labor was with me the entire time. She made sure I felt comfortable and safe and all my preferences were adhered to when we did transfer to the hospital for pain relief. I will use Helen again if we don't move away before then. :)

As I was pregnant with my 3rd baby I wanted a doula to be there for me and my birth story. My OB recommended Helen Martin and we set up our first meeting (meet and greet). Helen was very kind, intelligent, knowledgeable, and caring. We liked her from the start. My birth progressed rather quickly and she met us at the hospital. She was never pushy but rather very supportive and encouraging. During my labor she was holding my hand and praying for me, rubbing my shoulders and being a very calming/soothing presence for us in the room. I couldn't be any more happier with our experience having her as our doula. She was simply amazing. If you are looking for a great doula, look no further ??

She was amazing. She always responded to my text right away when I had questions or updates, showed up to the hospital when she said she was when I was getting evaluated. She showed up before I did when I was in labor, she helped me with my birth plan as well, I ended up getting a doula when I was thirtyish weeks. She always gave me tips on what I can do to help my contractions and progress them I tried them all, when I was actually in labor she followed my birth plan despite me screaming in pain and saying no, she was sooooo patient and comfort me like I asked her too. She reminded me to take breaths and moan the way it would relax then even if it was hard for me to do. Reminded the nurses the visitors I did not want. After I had baby my leg was painfully cramping and my foot she massaged it out for me and asked the nurses to bring me socks as well because I was really cold and it was one leg and foot the other one was fine. She made sure I didn't need anything else before I left. Constantly checking in on me after I had baby. She is amazing! I couldn't recommend her enough. If you're pregnant and thinking of a doula ,you should do it. She will not disappoint you.

Our doula Helen Martin was absolutely wonderful! At our first meeting with Helen, we felt immediately at ease and heard. Helen's passion for birth and the journey leading up to it is so evident! Helen was very intentional about taking the time to get to know our hopes and desires for our birth experience. With this being our first birth experience, we were eager to learn from Helen and glean from her experience to help guide us as we prepared for this journey. Helen was available to answer questions throughout my pregnancy and would go out of her way to send articles, links, and helpful information pertaining to questions we had. Helen also joined us for two birth classes, which was a lot of fun and showed her committment to our birth journey.
On the day of our birth, Helen was sick and unable to attend our daughter's birth. However, Helen had already planned ahead in the event of an unexpected sickness or emergency like this. She had a back-up doula ready and had made sure that we had met her back-up doula prior to the event of our birth. This brought my husband and I great assurance knowing that a plan was in place. Though Helen was unable to attend our birth, she was nevertheless a huge part of our overall birth experience. Her involvement and investment both before and after the birth of our daughter was immensely valuable and made us feel incredibly supported, empowered, and encouraged.
Helen is very kind, assuring, and personable; everything we hoped for in a doula and now a dear friend!

I first met Helen later on in my pregnancy and she was so willinging to help me along my journey as well the birth of my son. She came to my house to get to know more about me and about what I was looking for in a doula and how I wanted my birth plan to go. She was so supportive in every decision that my partner and I made and had some great advice and tools that I can use during labor and delivery. I ended up having an emergency c section and she stayed the whole time and even after when I was in recovery. I am so thankful I had her by my side to help me in really hard decision making and staying calm.

My experience working with Helen was absolutely amazing. She was such a huge support before, during, and after giving birth. Especially for a first time mom not knowing what to expect or what is normal Helen really was informative. She was with me every step of the way and was open for phone calls and chats any time of the day or night. My birth was really hard because I had to be induced and it wasn't anything like I thought it would be. She held my hand and gave me soo much support. She was wonderful for both me and my husband. Helen is friendly and laid back. I never felt pressured to do or except anything I didn't want. I really felt like Helen truly listened to me and spoke up for what I wanted. She showed me ways to relax my body and mind. I definitely will be giving Helen a call when I get blessed with my next baby.
