    Amazing midwife! Felt like a friend that was there for me every step of the way. I had a much better experience here than at the hospital.

    I wish there were enough words to express the amount of gratitude owed to Tashona and her company…read moreViumbe Wellness. In March 2020, when the city started their CoVid curfew, this company did a great job at making me forget what was happening in the outside world! Professional, welcoming, present, understanding, and emotionally intelligent are all some words to describe Tashona's character during her being my doula. I got connected later in my pregnancy due to me moving. However, with all of my personal situational events, Tashona didn't hesitate to go above and beyond in accommodating my family and I every step of the way. Tashona is a passionate humanitarian and that made my experience with her so much greater. She introduced me to another mother, Janelica, during my journey that was on her educational journey to becoming a doula and the match in energy couldn't have been more perfect! With me recently moving to the area amidst my pregnancy, connecting with like minds and supportive mothers was a goal of mine. Tashona didn't fail by any means at making this dream come true for me. There is so much more i'd love to share, but for the wrap up: I received doula services (which included an intense amount of education for preparing for labor) as well as placenta encapsulation. I feel so satisfied with all of the services received from Viumbe and am always looking forward to share this company's information with others in need of the services that Viumbe Wellness provides. I am forever a lifelong client of Viumbe and hope to continue to share them with others so they can enjoy a great experience with any of the services they offer through and through. My review is way over due! ONE LOVE ‍

    There are moments in life that you know you will remember forever, and the birth of our daughter is…read moreat the very top of that list. Without exaggeration, Staci, our doula, was one of the biggest reasons why that experience was not only smooth and supported, but truly magical. From the very beginning, she was so much more than just a "support person." She was our advocate, our guide, our calm in the storm, and at times, the steady voice we didn't even realize we needed. She struck the perfect balance between being proactive and intuitive. She knew exactly when to step in, when to speak up, and when to simply be present. What stood out most was Staci's unwavering commitment to my wife's comfort and well being. Every phase of labor brings its own challenges, and she was there for all of it, handling even the most difficult and yes, unpleasant parts of the process with grace, professionalism, and genuine care. Nothing ever felt clinical or transactional. It felt human. It felt safe. She brought an incredible sense of empathy and vulnerability into the room. She shared pieces of her own story, asked thoughtful questions about ours, and created a connection that made us feel like we weren't just clients, we were people she truly cared about. That emotional presence made all the difference. It transformed what could have been an overwhelming experience into one filled with confidence, reassurance, and even moments of joy. There were multiple times where her advocacy made a real impact. She helped ensure our voices were heard, our preferences were respected, and that we stayed grounded in what we wanted this experience to be. That kind of support is invaluable, especially in such a high stakes and emotional environment. Looking back, it's hard to imagine going through this without Staci by our side. She elevated every aspect of the experience physically, emotionally, and mentally. She didn't just help deliver a baby. She helped create a memory that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. If you are considering working with a doula, let me make this as clear as possible: you want Staci in your corner. Whether it's your first child or your fifth, whether you're feeling confident or completely unsure, having someone like her by your side is a complete game changer. We are endlessly grateful. Truly one of the best decisions we've ever made.

    I decided to hire Staci at The Statesville Doula when I was 34 weeks pregnant. I had spent several…read moremonths interviewing different doulas in the area and none seemed to be the best fit for me and my wife. During our consultation, Staci made me feel comfortable and in charge of my birth. She actually made me excited to have my baby after months of being nervous. When I went into labor, Staci was a calm presence over the phone and when I needed her, she came right to me, able to show me and my wife how we could work together for my comfort. It was an overwhelming and empowering experience. If we choose to have any more children, we will be hiring Staci right away. I can't recommend her enough. She is an asset in the birth room.

    I thought I would leave a "dad review" here. When my wife proposed the idea to me, I didn't know…read moremuch about what a doula was. To be honest, it seemed kind of overkill. Isn't that was the doctors and nurses are far. But, since the first meeting with had with Natural Baby Doulas, I can't imagine going through this again as a family without a good doula service. We met with three different doulas before the birth. We asked a lot of questions. They listened really well and were very informative. They even prepped us about how we could approach our doctors visits and what questions to ask. My wife and I felt like a team going into the birth. Jessica was an incredible help during my wife's labor. She coached my wife, gave us perspective and vision, reminded us of our goals, was an advocate with the nurses, and helped us make decisions. There were many occasions where I would have been overwhelmed and terrified, but Jessica's calm and competent presence helped me support my wife. From a dad's perspective, I can't recommend Natural Baby Doulas enough.

After meeting several doulas I felt like the ladies at Naurtal Baby Doulas were the most relatable and down to earth doulas in the area. They care deeply about what you want out of your birth experience and I never felt pressured or judged about my choices. With the help of the amazing Kristian, we were able to have a successful, non-medicated, water birth. I truly believe that I would not have been able to do this without Kristian's encouragement and the knowledge I gained from Sarah's class. I am so thankful I found these ladies and will definitely be giving them a call when we decide to have another child!

    I reached out to Michelle to see if she could be a sibling doula for our family when we were…read moreexpecting our second little one. She was very accommodating to what I requested even though it wasn't part of her typical doula package. She met with myself, my spouse, and my 2 year old on multiple occasions prior to my labor to ensure my son would be comfortable with her and her children. When I went into labor around midnight she was quick to respond and was over to my house within 15 minutes so we could head to the hospital. She kept me updated with pictures and schedules while my son was in her care. She kept great track of what he did while in her care so I was able to see what happened while I was away. She even had an extra toothbrush for him to use while staying with her! She sent me photos of my son on various adventures having a blast with her children. I would highly recommend Michelle as a doula and as a childcare provider or sibling doula. She offered me pregnancy advice even though my focus for her services was on having a safe and friendly environment for my son to be in while my spouse and I were away at the hospital. Michelle was professional, easy to talk to, accommodating and loving while caring for my toddler. I would hire her back without a second thought if I needed her doula or nanny services again!

    Michelle Key's Nanny services are outstanding. I hired her to watch my four year old son, while I…read moreworked. I always felt like my son was in a very safe environment. She watched him in her home, which was very clean, free from clutter + also contained toys, artwork + fun stuff for him to do. I was able to go to work free of worry. Another thing I like about Michelle, is her great communication skills. She gets back to you in a timely manner, and picks up the phone when it rings. She also notified me, when her family was going to be staying at her house, on the same day as when my son, would be babysat by her. She communicated with me, that there were going to be 'new' people in the house, but that my son would be under her watch all day. I appreciated the information, because she didn't have to tell me, but did. Michelle also, hands out a one page: 'Toddler Report', that tells me what my son ate, what his bathroom breaks were + what his sleep habits were for that day. Additionally, she was flexible with me if my work schedule changed. I would definitely hire Michelle, because, she makes the daycare part of my day, stress free. She has a calming, gentle way about her, but at the same time, detail oriented + professional when it comes to the children she cares for. Thank you Michelle !!
