In September of 2017, I was lucky enough to have Iuliana as my birthing doula. Long story short, I…read morehad a complicated pre-term delivery which caused me to be in labor for 5 days. Each one of those days, Iuliana was there for me. From calling her when my water first broke, to my first few days at home with my son once he was discharged from NICU. Iuliana helped keep me calm during this difficult time and even helped me afterwards with recovering from my emergency C-section. She showed me how to use my breast pump and even helped me with getting my son to latch. Although I had my family, friends and partner there, knowing there was a strong, experienced woman who was there for any questions, concerns or extra emotional support I needed, helped tremendously. To this day I am thankful for her and we stay in contact with each other. My partner and I are still undecided on having another child in the future, but what we do know, is that Iuliana will be by our side.

At thirty-five weeks pregnant with my firstborn, I knew I wanted a med-free birth in a hospital but…read morewas worried that unnecessary interventions might take place, so we decided to hire a doula for additional labor/hospital birth support. I found Renea online & met with her a few days later in our home. I knew by the end of our meeting that she was who I wanted beside me as I labored and gave birth. On the day I went into labor we were in constant communication via text. Once active labor began she came over to my home (with all of her essential oils!) and worked through the contractions with me. She was a strong supporter for me during this intense time! She came with us to the hospital and was right by my side as I delivered my son. We hired her again for our second-born son's delivery and she was with me, again, during active labor and at the hospital. We also saw her for a postpartum visit after each delivery. It's been 2 years since we first hired her and we are still friends. I text her randomly with a question and she is quick to reply! I've said this before and i'll say it again--i wouldn't want to birth my babies without Renea by my side!

I received a prompt response based on our price range request. I also inquired with another company at the same time but they never replied. Thanks Dina!!

Cannot recommend Bree or Breezy Doula enough!…read more We're due in September and have already had so many great experiences with Breezy Doula. We first learned about them at a Memorialcare Saddleback open house. We were not at all familiar with doula care and at first didn't understand, but now we cannot imagine giving birth without a doula (specifically one from Breezy Doula!). Upon reaching out, we filled out their online form then received such a warm, quick and thorough response from the doula director, Sarah. She gave us a list of doulas within their group that matched our preferences and budget. We ended up meeting with two amazing doulas and didn't need to interview more. It was such a tough decision as both doulas were super warm, responsive, knowledgeable, and experienced. We decided to move forward with Carla and picked the grand package! See the attached pic for the package offerings, I removed the pricing as it varies per doula and prices may have changed since I last received this. We've taken the spinning babies (1 day) and hypnobirthing classes (wednesdays for 5 weeks straight) with Bree in Laguna Hills. Such a great experience! We've learned SOO much. Bree is so passionate about birth and motherhood. She keeps the content easy to digest and informative, but is also very patient with the many questions we had. Also another point for all the yummy snacks she provides! I also really love how she brings in guest speakers (baby & maternity chiropractor, IBCLC, acupuncturist, etc.) So excited to give birth! The classes have really helped me feel prepared, debunked the common misconceptions around childbirth, and have removed the fear brought by unrealistic situations shown in movies or on TV. Definitely reach out, you will not regret it!

Sandy was absolutely amazing as a Doula! She offers a free consultation which is great because you…read morecan get to know her beforehand. Very intuitive in deciphering your needs in labor- when you wanted to be left alone, when you need a massage, when to get you water etc. She was there right when my labor started and was there all 32 hours of my labor! She has a calming presences and lots of helpful tools (birth ball, candles, massage instruments, music etc) to help you relax during labor. I would highly suggest her to any pregnant moms looking for a Doula. She doesn't have a set price but rather bases it on each individual woman's wants and needs as well as financial situation. Also so travels all around so cal to meet her women so she is not just in Riverside county. As a mom with an 11 week old I reflect back on my labor with joy because Sandy was incredible!

She arrived before my midwife & was just there for my general support, whether emotionally or physically! She gave me words of advice during my labor in such a loving comforting way.

I had terrible low back & hip pain so she was constantly giving me hip compressions which is a very physically demanding thing to do! & she did this for hours just to help me stay comfortable and get through the contractions. Another plus is that she does a few prenatal appts too! So she isn't just a day of type of gal. Such an amazing experience!! She is so selfless & so loving! I am so glad we found her and I can't wait to be pregnant again so that we can have her attend our next birth!!

What would have been a terrifying experience for most proved to be a peaceful and divine Moment that I was completely prepared for as a direct result of LaKeisha being My Doula and instilling confidence in me. I'm so grateful for her. If you're looking for a Doula who cares LeKeisha of Agape Birth Doula is the one!

She is very knowledgeable and reassuring (which I really appreciate as a first time parent!), has excellent communication skills, and is willing to help in any way she can. Every time she comes over she meets us where we are at that day. Sometimes we have a big project that needs doing and she helps us tackle it. If we don't have a lot of specific things to get done, she intuitively finds a way to match what we need that day. In terms of both emotional support and the physical hard work that it takes to care for a newborn, she is always there for us. Thank you Moon Sister!

Monica did not disappoint. She was amazing and she lessened my postpartum anxiety and helped eased my family's transition from a family of three to a family of four. Monica has a warm and professional approach. During the in-home meeting, she listened carefully to mine and my partner's concerns and worked with us on the hours and days we wanted her to provide postpartum doula services. When she was working with us, she would anticipate what we needed or wanted - such as helping with picking up, sweeping, dishes, and taking out the trash - without us asking. Primarily, I needed assistance with my older child (2yrs old), such as watching her so I can get some sleep, take a shower, or just have a break. She was amazing at both watching my child and helping out around the house. Monica also provided some knowledge on diastasis recti, different holds for the baby when she has gas, and how to wear baby carriers/wraps. At the end of each session, she checked in with me about whether all mine and my family's needs were met and how she could better assist us for the next session. She listened carefully and came prepared for the next session. Both me and my family looked forward to each session because she made the post-partum period easier and less frustrating. I recommend Moon Sister Doula to my friends that are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.

She is extremely knowledgeable about all things labor and delivery, works seamlessly with the staff at Hoag Newport, and is fantastic at collaborating with the husband (me) both leading up to and during labor and delivery.

She truly has a gift for bringing calm, clarity, and confidence to the birth process. She was texting us consistently leading up to going to the hospital, which made us feel deeply supported, cared for, and never alone. We would absolutely recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a doula who is skilled, compassionate, and genuinely invested in your experience.

She had very helpful info on the birth process, options for birth plans etc. we were so thankful for her guidance with our first. I had to be induced both times and labored with pitocin.

Overall she's super knowledgeable, wants to advocate for you at whatever level you're comfortable with, and just generally helps everything go more smoothly. Highly recommended Lauren as a birth doula!
