"We were so beyond blessed to have Helen to support us during the birth of our angel.

Initially I was on the fence whether I wanted a doula or not but being a first time mom I figured it was a good idea because I wasn’t sure what to expect for labor, boy am I glad we had her!! We would have been lost and I would have had much more pain if it weren’t for Helen. She knew exactly what to do and when with the counter pressure, cold towels, making sure I was staying hydrated, and so much more. Her encouraging words made me know that I could do this and got me through each contraction. There is no way I would labor naturally again without Helen’s support, she was a true God send, we love her."

"She helped guide my husband and I through the hardest contractions and I felt like she knew exactly what I needed at each moment more than I did.

She knew when I needed a cold cloth on my head or when it would feel good to change positions. I felt like I barely needed to think because she was anticipating my next request. Things progressed quickly and she definitely contributed to that in my opinion! The doula experience exceeded our expectations. My husband and I really enjoyed getting to know Helen before the birth and she made the labor experience so much more enjoyable. She lifted a cloud of worry from us because I knew that she would tell us what was normal or not and she could also anticipate how I was feeling at any given stage of labor. The birth went much quicker than I expected, so that was great! She stuck around and made sure my son latched on and she knew when to give us space as well."

"We had never heard of a doula before and my husband and I weren’t sure we needed one.

Today if you asked my husband about having Helen at the birth he would tell you she was a lifesaver and such an awesome support to us. Helen was simply amazing. She was calm, therapeutic, and relaxed. She knew what I needed and gave me that “motherly” support without overly sympathizing. She was consistently so sweet and upbeat, her and my husband made an awesome duo and worked their tails off.

I truly believe that having Helen by my side made my natural birth such a different experience had she not been there. The work that a doula does is simply priceless. Even though I have only been around Helen for a few hours outside of my labor, she truly feels like family. I would genuinely recommend Helen to anyone who is expecting, especially (but not limited to) those planning a natural birth."

"It was a blessing to have her with us during our long, hard labor and birth.

She was awesome! She endured nearly two days next to us in the hospital without sleep; not much more needed to be said... My mother was at the hospital with us and she does not speak English and was having a difficult time seeing me go through a long labor; even though there was a language barrier, Helen took the time to take care of my mother. I ended up having to have a cesarean and she was able to be with us in the operating room and hold our little bundle of joy when she was born (and she took some great pictures that we wouldn’t have if it wasn’t for her!). There’s definitely a connection between our family and Helen that we really enjoy having! She’ll always have a special place in our family."

"I will forever be grateful for the guidance of my wonderful doula, Helen,

and the way she brought me back to earth and guided my husband to comfort me in all the ways she knew how. I will be grateful for the continuing support she provided when I was whisked away to surgery after laboring naturally and instantly mourning the loss of my birth plan. I don’t know how any woman could make it through labor, natural or not without someone like this."

"Words cannot express our gratitude for having you there with us through the birth of baby E.

We are so thankful that you joined us and helped us to have such a wonderful journey bringing her into the world. Helping families is definitely your calling-you are such a natural. We feel like you are family."

"When it came time to have my son having both my husband and Helen there was the most amazing experience.

Experiencing the support of a woman who herself has had 5 natural childbirths made such a difference! She was so in tune with what I needed and when I needed it, things such as making sure I was hydrated, knowing the exact spot I needed pressure during contractions, helping coach me in my breathing, the things that I really needed in order to continue experiencing natural labor. I sincerely recommend to any woman who is embarking on the journey of motherhood to really take the time to plan out and research the birth you want, look into the history of doulas, and all of the benefits there are to having an experienced woman at your side during your labor. I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to have Helen at my son’s birth. I know my husband agrees wholeheartedly! They truly made an exceptional team."
