About a year ago, I had no idea what a doula was. When my wife said that she wanted to hire one to…read morehelp during pregnancy and delivery, I instinctively said yes because I'm no fool and a pregnant wife gets what she wants. Later that night, I quietly Googled it... Guys - think personal quarterback mechanics coach. Rebecca was referred to us from a friend who had used her services for her own pregnancy just a few months earlier. My wife scheduled a meeting and Rebecca arrived on-time, very prepared and very knowledgeable. She discussed her methodology and services and answered our questions. She encouraged us to think about it before making a decision about whether or not she was the right doula for us. She was not pushy at all, and never passed judgement on our birth plan. (I was pro-nitrous because I wanted some for myself.) Seriously though, she's so Zen/calm that it's contagious. Because we felt such a strong connection with her, we hired her. Honestly, we probably could have chased after her in the driveway because it didn't take long to know we had found an amazing, caring resource that we NEEDED to help us in our journey. With Rebecca at our side, we always felt prepared. When things came up, we knew we could rely on her to help us with experienced guidance and research. "Let me send you an article on that..." was probably the most common phrase to come out of her mouth. (Mostly because I apparently wasn't doing enough reading/researching on my own.) Even when things veered as far as possible from our birth plan, Rebecca helped us in ways that we never expected, especially in extraordinary ways that were beyond what she was obligated to do. She helped keep us calm and sane in a time when fear could have easily gotten the better of us. I can't imagine the birth of our daughter without Rebecca being there. And if you're reading this review, you are probably searching for a doula to assist with your pregnancy. Congratulations - you found the best.

My wife and I highly recommend Rebecca. This was our first pregnancy and a friend told us the best…read morething they ever did was hire a doula, so we took their advice and found Rebecca through Yelp, which really was one of the best decisions we made for the birth of our son. We chose Rebecca out of all the other doulas because right from the moment we met her, we felt comfortable. For us, that was very important. My wife's pregnancy and birth had its own set of complications and once we hired Rebecca, she was available for all the support we needed. She kept an open line of communication, which was especially helpful through some difficult times leading up to delivery. There were never any judgments on our birth plans or on any of our decisions. She 100% supported us and would always answer all of our questions, even emailing us articles regarding any of our concerns. By the time our delivery came around, we had grown so close to Rebecca, it felt like we had a friend there to support us. She was ready and so prepared when we needed her, that we never felt like we had to ask her to do more for us. During delivery, Rebecca kept everyone positive and motivated. She also made sure I was taking care of myself properly! i.e. eating and resting when possible. We don't know how we could have made it through delivery without her support. Overall, Rebecca is smart, kind, supportive and we felt blessed to have her there for the birth of our son. There is no question that we will hire Rebecca for the birth of our next child.

She is kind, warm and funny, but knows her stuff. I felt very comfortable with her immediately and I would feel calm and excited for giving birth each time she was around. She was in constant contact with me and came right when we decided she should. Her positioning recommendations and massage made this birth so much more manageable than my first. In addition, she was able to attend to my needs while my husband was busy driving to the hospital, checking in, answering questions, etc. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I want to have more babies just so she can be our doula again.

When I went into labor she was already at the same hospital helping another mama but she told us she would be there as soon as possible and her partner Jenna would meet us at L&D. Jenna was so wonderfully calm and jumped right in, gave me a foot massage while we were waiting to be triaged. After about an hour Rachel came in, having just finished a super long labor & delivery but was ready to continue with us. She was so supportive for me and reminded my husband to drink water and eat which made me feel I could focus on me and baby. She helped remind nursing staff of our birth plan and even took pictures of us after baby came. She and Jenna were both awesome.

I saw Dr. Griffiths here for a couple of years and moving and switching doctors made me realize how…read morelittle care I received by her. I only saw her for preventative care and annual exam but each time she was in and out of the door and barely asked me any questions. I had to ask her to do bloodwork. I switched doctors after moving and all the questions they asked in my appointment made me realize this doctor just did the bare minimum for me. I would see her in her office giggling on her phone as I would walk out each time as if she couldn't wait to finish the appointment to get back to texting and scrolling. I felt this way both times but also didn't have health concerns to care as much but honestly she could have easily missed things given that she basically asked nothing during those appointments, highlighted to me now that I have a caring doctor. Keep an eye on this behavior if she is your doctor.

I absolutely love the staff…read more The original doctor I worked with has since retired but I'd like to still mention his name! Dr. deCastro was amazing, and honestly felt like I was finally being listened to. We struggled with unknown infertility and had felt written off by other clinics and shoved under the rug. But we came in with our concerns and he listen and created a plan that led us to our first baby! Now we're on our second journey and have decided to work with Dr. Davis and he was just as amazing and made me feel so comfortable! Absolutely love this clinic, I have nothing but good news to say!

I have PCOS and had a low supply and tongue tie with my first and wanted to get baby checked out right away so we could do what we needed to help milk production. Rosemary was amazing and came right away and helped me navigate all the things related to breastfeeding and feeding my baby. I felt heard and very well cared for in those beginning days when you are so vulnerable. We had a follow up today and she reassured me that I'm doing everything and heading in the right direction. She was really there to listen to what I had to say and my concerns and gave the advice that I needed to feel confident and keep moving forward. So thankful for Rosemary and Bridgetown baby for the much needed support.

We were lucky enough to work with Katrina who from the very first meeting, was incredibly kind, patient, and supportive. She created a comfortable, judgment-free space where I felt heard and understood. What I appreciated most was her collaborative approach. She really took the time to listen to our concerns, answer questions thoroughly, and work together to find solutions that felt right for our family. Her guidance was practical, encouraging, and tailored to our specific situation. I'm truly grateful for her expertise and compassion, and I would highly recommend her to any family looking for knowledgeable and caring lactation support.

Great providers who really care, are extremely knowledgeable and holistically focused which are in alignment with my views.

Love that they have virtual or in person appointments and love that it doesn't feel like a hospital setting at all, it's very cozy and warm

I had an incredible experience working with everyone at Canyon Medical. I met with Leslie and Karen…read moreand can't say enough good things about them both! I felt heard and supported throughout my entire pregnancy. Karen talked me through my concerns of having a big baby and going over my due date. She gave me tips to get my baby in a good position for delivery, and I feel they really helped as my labor was only 3.5 hours total from start to finish. I felt so calm once I got to the birth center and had Karen and 2 of her assistants help me have the birth of my dreams. I especially loved the time shortly after my baby was born where we were left alone in the room and able to bond with our new baby without being constantly interrupted. The birthing suite was so homey and we have had no problems with billing whatsoever. (They actually over estimated my cost with insurance and I got a partial refund!) Canyon was the perfect place for us.

Ashley hosted our private birth education course. Even though we had completed a birth course with…read moreour first baby, Ashley created a customized course to support us in the kind of birth we wanted the second time around. Her teaching style was warm and friendly, she made me feel so comfortable and empowered. Would highly recommend her.

I was fortunate to have Ashley as our Hypnobirthing instructor at the Birth Education Center and…read moreour birth doula for my first child (pre-COVID). My husband and I were on the fence about having a doula, but my friend who took the classes and had Ashley as a doula recommended I at least meet Ashley in person. During our hour-long chat at the coffee shop, I realized that the birth of my child would be one of the most important days of my life, and what we see on our TV and movies is FAR from how the birth experience really is. Ashley was so knowledgeable about all the hospitals/doctors/protocols, anatomy, just anything birth-related. This was helpful in having the awareness and expectation so that I could make my own decisions. I had to get induced at 38 weeks due to high blood pressure and other conditions and was basically freaking out. Ashley helped me through it and assured me that this was the right time and the right call for my situation. Her calm demeanor kept me calm. She was very hands-on and helped me throughout my labor (utilizing spinning babies technique and massage/hip squeezes), and my husband still talks about how helpful it was to have her there so that he could take a break and eat lunch! Ashley was an advocate for me during birth and I am so grateful, like when the nurse just decided to buttoned my gown up in the chest because that's more "modest" and Ashley, knowing the importance and benefits of skin-to-skin and my wishes, unbuttoned it when the nurse wasn't looking! Small things like this add up and actually mean a lot. I ended up having a beautiful and positive birth at the hospital (opted for epidural) and I have Ashley to thank for it. Ashley is one of my favorite people, and I cannot recommend her enough. She is a fairy godmother! As for the hypnobirthing...my first reaction was "I'm not a hippie," but after that meeting with Ashley, I realized it is a total misnomer, and Hypnobirthing is just relaxation methods AND birth education to help you feel confidant on the big day. I recommend taking these classes over the classes taught at hospitals which tend to be more clinical.

Sarah is incredible! As a first time mom, I was really nervous about labor/delivery and wanted an…read moreexperienced doula to help me and my husband through the birth process. Sarah exceeded all expectations I had. First, she was a wonderful source of support as we approached the end of my pregnancy. She prepped my husband and I for the labor process, what having a newborn would look like, and answered all of our questions. She was non judgmental, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. She kept asking us questions to figure out what we did and did not want and then supported us through that. When I did go into labor, Sarah was my hero. She encouraged me the whole time, helped me get into a variety of positions to encourage the baby to move down, reminded me to breathe, and used multiple methods to ease my pain through the contractions. Further, she included my husband and helped him support me through the process as well. Even though it was obviously very painful, I had a really positive birth experience and I largely owe that to Sarah. I can't image what it would have been like laboring without her and I'm so so so thankful that we were able to work with her. If you're looking for a doula, Sarah is absolutely incredible! I could not be more grateful for the support and comfort she provided me.

As a working mom, sleep and getting a good night's rest is very important to me. Also, being a FTM,…read moreI was overwhelmed by all the sleep training advice out there--wake windows, endless methods, instagram reels--it was a lot. When my baby was about 4 months old, I reached out to The Birthing Stone Doula for guidance, and I'm so glad I did. The set-up process was super easy. Tiffany quickly got back to me, asked a few questions through phone call, and matched me with Julia, one of their sleep coaches. From the very first home visit, Julia was incredible--kind, empathetic, and so knowledgeable. She helped me recognize when my daughter was self-soothing and gave me practical things to try. We set goals like easing daycare naps, learning to self-soothe, and adjusting to her crib. Throughout the process, Julia was always there--quick to respond, thoughtful in her answers, and endlessly encouraging. She gave me confidence to trust my instincts as a mom, while also teaching me tools to help my baby build healthy sleep habits. Within a few weeks, we met all our goals. Now my baby is a solid sleeper, can self-soothe, and sleeps through the night. I honestly don't think we'd be here without Julia's support. Highly recommend!

FTM | Casey and Charli are excellent…read more My daughter is just short of 4 months old as I write this review. I'm a first time mother who really had no idea what to expect with the labor and delivery experience. Here are the main points of what we knew we wanted for our birthing experience: *delivery at Legacy Meridian Hospital *labor as long as I could without any pain medication *make use of resources to be comfortable (medicine/peanut ball, jacuzzi, massages, essential oils, dim lighting...etc) *doula for support No judgements. Compassion. We interviewed one other doula before choosing Casey and Charli. Without hesitation I knew I had to have this awesome team to support me. They are incredibly warm and friendly with tons of knowledge and experience with the whole process (pregnancy to postpartum). I felt completely comfortable upon meeting them. One of the biggest reasons why we chose them was because we were guaranteed to see one of them on the big day. Other doulas are so busy with other clients that they may send someone else from their company to support you on your big day, and that was something I didn't feel comfortable with. Casey and Charli didn't make me feel like I was just a number to add to their list of births. They always listened and asked questions. The process was easy and accommodating: first contacted via e-mail, set up the first meeting, establish a contract and deposit, set up another meeting, maintain 24/7 contact throughout pregnancy, go through labor and delivery, pay balance, and postpartum appointment. Birthing Stone offers a lot of great classes, so take advantage of these! Casey and Charli had excellent communication throughout and a great, well-organized system down to support me at any moment. I opted to have a doula-in-training to attend my delivery as well. My delivery exceeded my expectations! I had a fast delivery and ended up not using any of the resources available at the hospital. Charli and the doula-in-training were supportive and helped me to focus on breathing and relaxing during my labor. Charli made me feel like a super woman! She tied my hair back and not only worked with the medical team for me, but she made sure my husband was taken care of too. After my delivery, they checked up on me at home and helped me with any issues I had with breastfeeding. I like that they don't leave you hanging because there's SO much to this whole experience. Overall, I highly recommend Birthing Stone!! If you're looking for a doula team, this is it.
