I recieved a beautiful email from a past client of mine sharing her experience with me as her doula.

The birth of my son was such a positive experience, and I know that it would not have been the same without our wonderful doula…
Chelsea played such an important role in providing support for me throughout my pregnancy, during labour, and in the days afterward. During my pregnancy I really appreciated what a good listener she was. I had some decisions to make about my doctor and she really validated my concerns and encouraged me to do what felt right. Thanks to her support I was able to switch to a midwife, which was exactly what I needed.

I loved her philosophy on birth and really benefited from some of the books she lent me. I was introduced to a new way of looking at labour and birth; it doesn’t have to be scary and horrible! I wanted a drug free delivery, and I’m sure that I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Chelsea there! I loved her calming presence, and supportive nature. Being a doula seemed to come naturally. Her expertise in helping women cope were invaluable to us both. My partner was able to be there for me in his natural way, without worrying about things like how to make the right birth noises along with me (which Chelsea did while holding my hand in the back seat on the way to the hospital!), or what to say when I was looking panicked. She was so encouraging and most importantly, she really believed I could do it, which helped me keep going.

I love the photos she took of our faces the moment our son was born, and the lovely story of his birth that she wrote. In the weeks after the birth she was helpful in referring me to a lactation consulant which I really appreciated.
I feel very grateful Chelsea was there for me and would highly recommend her to anyone!

I’m so grateful to have work with this amazing new family and to have been apart of their birth experience.
