    Nina met us promptly at the hospital, and was absolutely invaluable in helping us to have a natural birth.

    : Not a nice person. Be sure to check her return policies…read morefor any items you consider purchasing as the belly binder a is ripped up sheet (muslin) that you can purchase at your local Joann's . This is the video I was given for the technique. I can't include it due to Yelp rules, but it is a regular person's YouTube account, not even one of the doulas or Maura. Search Bengkung Belly Binding on YouTube and a ton of videos will come up. The binder did not help me feel held in. I asked for a refund and was told the price was mainly for the doula coming to my house--which was unnecessary because the YouTube video was the guide. After continued times trying to reach a reasonable resolution, Maura told me that I was harassing her. (What the heck weirdo woman?) What doula worth anything speaks to a mom of a 2 week old that way. Beware!!!!!!!!! This doula is unstable and no new mom needs that. Get a Bellefit binder. It helps without dealing with a psycho doula.

    Maura was a joy to work with before, during, and after the birth of my little one…read more She obviously approaches her work with a great deal of professionalism that isn't always present in the birthing world. For example, her email communication is clear and prompt, she is obviously very well organized, and she gave me sweet little new-mama-related gifts at our first meeting, as well as after Baby's birth. But all that is not reason enough to hire a doula, right? When I first met Maura, I must confess I was a bit dismayed by her youth. Although I knew she had lots of experience supporting births and more medical training than most doulas, there was a part of me that wanted an older presence on my birth team. Well, thankfully the rational part of me won out over this other, ageist part, because Maura was wonderful and everything we (my husband and I) could have wanted. And I'm sure she's probably not quite as young as she seemed that first day ;) My labor and birth were pretty quick, uncomplicated, and relatively painless. I don't think I actually noticed Maura much during the process. However, when I watched the video of my baby's birth (which Maura was happy to film and photograph for us), I noticed Maura was the one who'd pick up on how I was feeling and cheer me on when I seemed to need it, and my husband and mom (who I wanted hands-on with me) would follow her lead. She just seemed to have this way of fitting in and being exactly what we needed her to be at the time, even though we ourselves didn't know what that was. After Baby's birth, she provided encouraging support and a postpartum visit to see that all was going well for our family. She was pretty awesome answering my questions via text, about all things from newborn poop to homeopathic remedies. I know that she will soon begin to study midwifery, but if you find her still offering doula services, I would highly recommend adding her to your list of doulas to consider.

    Caley is a delightful, warm, calming, competent,…read moremakes-you-wish-she-was-your-mom/best-friend-in-real-life kind of person. My wife hemorrhaged after her labor, which was really scary for both of us. Somehow, even in the middle of a medical emergency, Caley made sure my wife's voice was heard (she had to pee and needed a bedpan, she was freezing and needed blankets) in a way that was absolutely perfect and never overbearing. Our care team loved her; we loved her. She checked in with me exactly enough (I was doing my best to stave off a panic attack and was so relieved that Caley was supporting my wife so I could keep a little distance and shield her from my own anxiety). In the middle of an intensely stressful situation, she managed to make my wife smile and laugh, got our son to latch, and allowed me to get my emotions together. She even grabbed our camera and got some pictures of the first few minutes after birth. FWIW she was completely supportive and excited that we planned to encapsulate our own placenta, even though she offers professional encapsulation services, which was super nice. Zero weirdness/upselling. The postpartum visit was also great - our baby had trouble gaining his birth weight back, and she was far more reassuring and helpful than the lactation consultant we saw at his three week check up. She even helped us get in touch with a breast milk donor and brought a cooler full of donated milk to us - and to top it all off, offered to help out around the house! You seriously can't go wrong - she's excellent.

    Submitting a new review (I deleted my 2018 one because it was just a bit too lengthy and personal),…read morebut Cloud nine was the best decision I made for my birth. They were more helpful than even the actual midwives, even with an unexpected transfer to the hospital. I felt empowered, educated and cared for. My doula (Laura) was absolutely amazing with physical and emotional supports for both me and my husband, and she helped me make informed decisions throughout my labor even when we had difficulties and a very long labor. Honestly my birth was a million times better because of her, and an experience that likely would have been pretty terrifying ended up being beautiful and safe for me and my family. The class was a bit too introductory for me. I do wish they had maybe a harder class or one that covers post birth things like baby wearing, breastfeeding and postpartum anxiety and depression. But it's a good overview if you aren't familiar with birth. Overall - definitely give them a call and speak with Kelsey. I'm so glad I did.

    I can't say enough great things about cloud nine! We worked with the Kelsey/Valerie team and their…read moresupport was unmatched. Valerie came to our house first to talk about physical support and labor prep. She could not have been more kind, understanding and knowledgable about birth prep. Both continued to check in weekly towards the end and we're always willing to answer questions. When it got to be birth day, Kelsey knew exactly when to come before I had to ask and was the best support. She was intuitive, comforting and even in the midst of the unexpected kept things calm and gave me exactly what I needed. I cannot recommend this team enough! They truly care about making sure clients have the birth they desire and are able to support both the birthing person and support person.

    Joy was an incredible support throughout my entire pregnancy and birth experience. During the…read moreprenatal months, she provided thoughtful guidance, answered all my questions with care, and helped me feel confident and prepared for labor. When it came time for the hospital birth, Joy was the calming, steady presence I needed. She made my partner and me feel calm and supported, and truly cared for us every step of the way. She was also a strong advocate, ensuring my wishes were respected and my voice heard, and has positive relationships with the hospital staff. Joy was, without a doubt, the most positive and empowering part of my birth journey. I'm so grateful for her and recommend her to anyone considering working with a doula.

Everyone else kept scaring me with their horrid birth stories. Why do people do this to pregnant women? Save your traumatic birth story for your therapist, not a hormonal, vulnerable pregnant woman! I needed someone to guide me, calm my nerves, and be my rock. Joy was that and more. She couched me during my pregnancy about birth and we created a birth plan. Any question I had she would answer, in a knowledgeable, fun, and unjudgemental way. I ended up changing my ob when I was 37 weeks pregnant to a midwife. Joy helped me not feel so crazy for doing this! And it was absolutely the right decision for us. She also gives the BEST aromatherapy prenatal massages. During labor, she helped me go through each contraction, she would "feed" me my protein shakes during labor since I was high risk for c-section and wasn't allowed to eat, but she wanted to make sure I was getting enough fluids and sustenance to keep going through labor. She helped teach my husband how to help me work through contractions and massage me. She kept me moving to progress my labor. And when my son arrived, we all cried together. It was beautiful and I know I wouldn't have had this beautiful experience if it wasn't for her.
