Biggest Little Baby is more than a resource, it's a lifeline for new and expecting parents. I moved…read moreto Reno as a travel RN, and within months I'd met my now-husband and found out I was pregnant. I didn't have a single girlfriend here, no family nearby, no one who really understood what I was going through. I was scared, and I felt so alone. BLB changed that. Milk Makers' Circle gave me a room full of moms who understood the exhaustion and the joy of breastfeeding. Music classes became the highlight of my toddler's week and mine too. Sarah's Comfort Measures class helped my husband and me feel ready instead of terrified for birth. Erin's prenatal massages helped me feel taken care of. Webster chiropractic care with Hannah helped turn my breech baby, and my doula walked beside me through the whole journey of bringing my son earth side at home. You will find a village here, one class and one appointment at a time. If you're a mama in Reno feeling even a little bit lost, please know this place exists. It changed everything for me. They have a library, a second hand maternity clothes store, community events, you can get fitted for and lend baby carriers. Check it out!!!

Ashley is someone you truly want on your team when going through the transformative experience of…read morebringing a life into this world. We attended her birth class as well as hired her as our doula, and we are so happy we found her. She has so much experience and really helps you to believe in yourself.

I think it's really important that people know doula support is not exclusively for those wanting…read morean unmedicated birth. When we hired Ashley, I was open to either unmedicated birth or an epidural- I had no preference and she was totally game for either. After I had been in labor for quite some time, I decided to proceed with the epidural; a decision Ashley knew was completely supportive of and helped me through. In that moment, I was slightly worried we had invested in a doula who would now be of less service to us, since I would be having a medicated birth... I could not have been more wrong! I am 100% certain I would have ended up having an emergency c-section if she hadn't been present to advocate for us. She noticed things our nurses didn't catch (who knew you could have a bad bag of Pitocin??), she kept me comfortable through lots of back labor, and she acted as a confident guide through a long labor. She was the calm in the storm for both me and my husband, and we are so thankful we had her with us when our daughter surprised us with a sunny-side up arrival. In addition to her invaluable labor services, she noticed an impending medical issue during her postpartum visit we had overlooked. She helped us be more prepared for what was to come, which allowed us to seek the appropriate medical care in a timely manner. We will forever be thankful for Ashley's presence in our lives, and we can't wait to utilize her services again in the future when we try for baby #2!

Words cannot describe the gratitude I feel for Tiffany. She has became my friend through the…read morepregnancy and delivery of our little girl. I was recommended by another friend who used her services and from our first meet and greet, I knew she was a great fit. This was my 2nd home birth and I knew I wanted to try a new midwife with my 2nd pregnancy. Tiffany is attentive, real, extremely supportive and knowledgeable. Home birth is about choice, power, safety, spiritual, honoring the birther and child. Tiffany touched on all these and so much more. She delivered the facts, research and left the choices to the parents. From a young adult, I knew I wanted a home birth. After watching the "The Business of Being Born" it solidified my desire. Then covid happened and I was sold on home birth. Now, I can't imagine having gone through labor and birth with the restrictions of a hospital. Thank you Tiffany for showing me care, kindness, protection, and reassurance that I can do it, I did it, we did it and now I only wish I wanted more and more babies so I can go through this scared experience with Tiffany again. And the fact that she brings her business partner, Amanda who is another practicing midwife to all births really portrays the support every birther should have

The last experience pushed me to try something new this time. And I'm so incredibly grateful. Tiffany gave me all the information to questions I asked in a very non-biased way. She gives you lots of time at appointments and is so easy to talk to. She lent me books to read and helped me feel empowered that I could have exactly the birth I wanted. When I had prodromal labor after my due date she came to my home for a non stress test and predicted that the cord was around the neck and suggested getting monitored at the hospital just to be sure everything was ok and that baby could withstand birth at home. She didn't take any unnecessary risks. The birth was at home, calm and perfect - even better than I had hoped (and Tiffany was right - the cord was loosely around the neck). She connected me with Meredith at Nourish Nevada - the most amazing lactation group that has blessed my life after 4 failed breastfeeding experiences with my others. She recommended an amazing pelvic floor therapist that helped my birth be amazing and my recovery even better. I'm actually mourning that this is my last baby because I'm finally surrounded by this incredible team of women who know how to help you have the best experience with birth, have a strong body, feed your baby like a pro and feel so proud of yourself and what your body can do. I can't express how much I wish I had found Tiffany and my team sooner. But better late than never I suppose.

I honestly don't have enough words to describe my overall experience with Jamie and Stevie as my…read moredoulas! This was our second child (our first we didn't use a doula, but wish I had now!) and, as much as I love him, my husband just wasn't enough alone for me the first go around. I knew I needed some added support. That's where Jamie and Stevie came in and filled that much needed gap. My birth experience was extremely positive, full of love and support, smooth and without any regrets or feelings of inadequacy. I know I couldn't have done it without their preparation and commitment. Gosh, the number of times I pinged them in the middle of the night, even well before my delivery... I was always so apologetic about that, but they assured me it was no big deal and that they were there for me any time I needed them. Please, hire them. You won't regret it, I promise!

My partner and I hired Stevie and Jamie to prepare for our delivery of our first born in February…read more2021. In addition to Doula services, we decided to take the Evidence Based Birthing 6 week course taught by Stevie, the CPR class and the breastfeeding class taught by Jamie. The EBB course was extremely informative and helped us prepare for the type of delivery we wanted. I felt confident in my decisions around the type of birth I wanted but also prepared for any unplanned changes that may occur. The CPR class was something my husband and I planned to take through the hospital but enjoyed having Stevie come over to our house and receive 1:1 instruction. The breastfeeding class was extremely informative and useful for not only myself but my husband as well. Due to covid restrictions only one doula was allowed in our hospital room so Stevie joined us since Jamie had just given birth to her 4th baby a week prior. Stevie knew our nurses, anesthesiologist, and OB which was comforting. My birth plan changed from what I originally intended and Stevie made sure I was comfortable with the change and helped me feel confident with my decision. My baby's heart rate dropped extremely low a couple times during labor and she helped us stay strong and reassure us that we were in good hands. I couldn't have asked for a better team for our delivery and I think that Stevie is largely to thank for that. 3 days after my baby was born, I became concerned because he hadn't had a wet or poopy diaper in 2 days. I got an appointment with our pediatrician a day earlier than originally scheduled but still had a day to care for my child. I reached out to Jamie and Stevie for advice and Jamie got me connected to a Lactation Consultant and helped me make the decision on a feeding plan until our appointments. She even brought over a bag of breastmilk since my milk hadn't come in yet . I found out that my baby wasn't able to get enough milk from my breast due to some latching issues and worked with the lactation consultant Jamie recommended for the first 2 months of his life. I am now almost 6 months postpartum and now have a great breastfeeding relationship with my child - something I again largely attribute to Jamie. As first time parents, getting a doula was the best decision we made and we couldn't be happier with the services provided by Jamie and Stevie!

I would recommend taking a class with her! Without her teachings I'm not sure I would have been able to give birth naturally, she explained the birth process thoroughly and answered questions with ease, her confidence is incredible!

Definitely give her a chance to pass along her breadth of knowledge!

Lots of tears were being shed by not only my frustrated son but by me as well. Within minutes of sending her a desperate text, she responded with kindness and concern. She even went out of her way to come do a late evening consultation with me, taking her time, answering any questions I had and working to figure out the issue with my sons latch. Needless to say, last night was the first night since bringing him home from the hospital that we had not one but TWO successful feedings, and have kept the momentum up ever since! Krystal checked in with me today to see how I was doing and to answer any other questions I had. Thank you so much Krystal! Not only did you help calm my nerves and make me feel so much better, you helped my son and I achieve successful nursing. You are the best!

There were multiple unforeseen circumstances that came up after our child was born, such as illness of our oldest child, Medical emergencies of myself or my wife. They have come through whenever we needed help. They moved things around on their schedule to help when needed the most. The feedback they gave every night was helpful as well. They are truly Masters of their craft. Theyre very good with communication, taking care of the newborn and just overall good people. I don't think I've met a kinder group of people. You could really tell that they put their hearts into what they do. It's not just a job to them. They are here to help mothers get through the most difficult time after childbirth. I could see the struggles my wife was going through, and I did my best to help, but I knew that it wasn't enough. Rebecca and her staff provided that extra edge we needed to help out my wife. They truly are a godsend.

I had an incredibly positive experience with Rebecca Rose Doulas and can't recommend them enough…read more From our very first interaction, I felt supported, heard, and genuinely cared for. Becca took the time to understand my previous traumatic birth and matched me with Stephenie and Tracey R. as my doulas for my second birth. Together they answered all of my questions and provided LOTS of reassurance during what can be a very emotional and uncertain time. They both helped me work through the trauma of my previous birth and had confidence in me when I didn't have the confidence in my body. During labor, Tracey's presence made a world of difference. She was calm, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable, offering both guidance and emotional support exactly when I needed it. Whether it was helping me stay grounded through transition or advocating for my birth plan, she helped me feel empowered and confident throughout the entire process. It literally brings tears to my eyes thinking about my redemptive hospital birth - unmedicated, 10lbs baby boy. I know Tracey had a lot to do with that because she supported me both physically and emotionally. My baby is almost one, so this review is long overdue but I feel the gratitude for them even more now that I'm coming out of the postpartum fog. What stood out most was their compassion and dedication--not just to me, but to my husband as well. They made sure we both felt included, informed, and supported every step of the way. If you're looking for doulas who are professional yet warm and truly invested in your experience, they are an excellent choice. I'm so grateful for all of them (including Arielle for the in home lactation consultation!) - Allie & Stephen

I was originally not sure that I wanted to hire a birth doula, but after speaking to Marissa on the…read morephone when I was 3 months pregnant, I felt a connection and warmness from her that I wanted as part of my child's birth. I was fortunate enough to have Marissa and my birth doula in 2021. I was able to attend her pre-natal yoga sessions and motherhood gatherings via Zoom - it was great to connect with other mothers during this time. Our pre-labor one-on-one sessions were gentle and informative. Both my partner and I felt well supported. During my labor is when Marissa really shined. I had a homebirth planned with two midwives. As soon as she arrived at my house she jumped in Doula mode. She made suggestions on more comfortable birthing positions, provided me with words of encouragement and guided my husband on supporting me. I ended up needing to go to the hospital and Marissa came along and supported me through the emergency room and into L&D. She worked well with the L&D staff.  My son ended up being transferred to a NICU at another hospital - and Marissa stayed with me until one of my friends could get there. I cannot express to you how much this meant to me. While in the hospital, the doctors and nurses were focused on delivering my son safely. Marissa advocated for me and made sure I was also well taken care of. After I returned home, Marissa visited us to offer support, guidance, tea and whatever else we needed. Months later, she regularly checks in, offers her support, and coordinates meet-ups with other moms, doula clients or not, in the area. I am so thankful for Marissa.

I will forever be grateful for all of the ways she showed up for me during an incredibly poignant time. Thank you, Marissa!!!!

This is Andrea all the way. My husband and I were blessed to be guided by her on our pregnancy journey, and it was completely life-changing for the both of us. A doula is not just for the pregnant mama...she is also there to support the husband or birth partner and show them how to best support the mama during birth. Our sessions with Andrea leading up to the birth were transformational for us as a couple as we also learned more about ourselves and each other. This paved an essential foundation for our birth story to unfold upon. Andrea has walked the walk herself, and has done it so gracefully, in a way that I really respect and admire. Beyond the childbirth education courses that she offers, she has a wealth of knowledge and so many amazing tools in her toolbox to help guide you on your sacred journey. She's also very spiritually connected with a worldly and wise perspective, which really helped ground me when I was in my head, being fearful, and needed it the most. For me, as the mama, being pregnant was a very emotional journey where I worked through a lot of fear. I couldn't have done this work without Andrea's support and loving guidance. She really has an amazing way of redirecting fear into excitement which made me feel so much more confident and trusting towards my body and this process. If you are searching for a doula or even considering one, look no further. Andrea is THE Tahoe Doula. Thank you Andrea for supporting us and making our journey so memorable and so beautiful. Because of you, we were able to take on the birth more confidently, educated, prepared, and be legitimately excited about it. Now we have such an amazing beautiful baby girl and we couldn't be happier! We love you like family and appreciate you and all you did for us!

I can honestly say that I could not have achieved that goal without Andrea by my side. Her depth of knowledge, humor, compassion, and presence was priceless. Not to mention the fact she provided counter pressure to my back ALL NIGHT LONG during contractions, as I experienced intense back labor. I will never forget how helpful she was in the days that followed birth as well. She made sure our family had everything we needed, including getting me lactation support and finding donor breastmilk. If you are in need of a doula or birth education, it doesn't get any better than Andrea!

Sarah took time to meet with us and get to know us before offering her suggestion of which team of doulas might match best. I felt so comfortable with Gianna and Sierra from our very first meeting, and really appreciated how they supported us with two people, opening up options for support during labor and delivery. They provided so many resources and information, and were available for any questions at all which meant so much to me, again, having so much unknown my first time. Gianna ended up being there to actually see me through the labor and delivery. I wasn't sure what to expect, but she came when I felt I really started to need extra support and I cannot IMAGINE having done it without her. She helped me through the hardest parts and helped me feel so supported and safe; she gave me what I needed at points when I didn't know I needed it. Her gentle and calm presence and, even at times laughing with her made such a difference in my laboring. It also was a huge help to my partner and allowed him to take care of things that needed to be while she supported me. She stayed until well after the birth, and even helped wash and clean the sheets and helped my daughter and I with our first breast meeting! When I had a lot of anxiety surrounding breast feeding issues after, Sierra answered so many questions for me that were helpful and at the postpartum visit, they answered so many questions I couldn't have anticipated. They were both an integral part of this miraculous journey and I am forever grateful. I highly recommend either of them if you want extra support and if I ever have another baby I'll be calling them again.
