She even discusses postpartum and lactation matters and provides crucial resources in the community that every new AND experienced mother needs. I sincerely wish I would have found her for my first pregnancy (I found her for my second pregnancy). The medical system and your traditional OB provider will never even have the time to explore such topics with you and it's not information that can just be picked up off the internet. I'm so happy that Eyla and her team, it was such a necessary investment that will empower you and leave you feeling supported in every way no matter what kind of birth experience you choose. I really wish we would have been able to take the 8 week course but my husband and I were not able to this time.

It was such a pleasure! In such a vulnerable time when you may not feel entirely like yourself; or how the world can be so loud with "bounce back" culture .... She made me see myself as strong, powerful, resilient! & also soft, beautiful & my children's safest place!!!! If you're ever looking for a doula, birth photographer, or like me a special breastfeeding session she is amazing! It was comfortable, she brought some beautiful energy to my home & in seeing these reminded me how truly remarkable women are ANYWAYS, TAKE ALL THE PICTURES, I promise you will treasure them one day.

I decided to start going to Prenatal Plus Yoga when I was 33 weeks with my second child. That's…read morewhen I decided to have a VBAC and thought that prenatal yoga would be critical in achieving an easier and natural birth. What I found was much more important than just a yoga class, I found a community! Debra is an amazing childbirth educator! I enjoyed the yoga classes because it wasn't just about yoga - it was about the whole birthing process. My husband and I also took her Hypnobirthing class which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Debra gives insight on all things birthing. When I talked to her about my VBAC plans, she recommended that I see Dr. Sancetta, who is widely known in the South FL community for VBACs. Sure enough, in my 34th week, after my initial consultation with Dr. Sancetta, I changed medical providers. My first baby came via c-section after a long 30 hour labor. I pushed for 3 hours and she never moved an inch. My doctor at the time told me that I had a "small" and "tight" pelvis which is why Baby #1 got "stuck". He told me that my subsequent labors most likely would go the same way and I might always have a hard time delivering naturally. Fast forward 18 months, and I was able to achieve my natural and unmedicated VBAC and I have to thank Debra for that. I truly believe that what I learned from Debra's yoga class, in addition to chiropractic care, helped to properly align my pelvis and create more space for the baby. The morning that I was in labor, I texted Debra to let her know that I wouldn't make it to class because I thought I was in early labor. She replied that if it was still early, I should come in to stretch, relax, and open up the hips. As I wasn't in too much pain yet, I decided to go - definitely had some contractions in class and she showed me how to breathe through them. Baby was born 4 hours later! Almost delivered in the car. Showed up to the hospital at 10cm. I was shocked to say the least. Thank you Debra for all your help and believing that I could do it!

As someone who likes to stay VERY active, I knew I'd be interested in prenatal yoga during my…read morepregnancy when power vinyasa classes were out of the question. Prenatal Plus Yoga is quite close to my house so I gave it a try starting around 18 weeks. In the end, I got so much more out of it than just a workout. Yoga classes are offered three days a week - Tuesday and Thursday evenings and Saturday morning (but additional classes may be added based on demand, so check the website or reach out to Debra). Each class is 90 minutes and includes everything from stretching and yoga poses, to massage, dancing and singing. At the beginning of the class, everyone introduces themselves and you also partner up at times, so it was a great opportunity to meet other local pregnant women. I ended up forming great relationships and now have my nearby mom tribe! Debra is the instructor and biz owner, she's also a doula and offers a bunch of other classes like hypnobirthing, mommy and me, CPR and more. There's not a lot of similar businesses in the area, so it's all much appreciated! All in all, I'd definitely encourage any moms-to-be to check out Prenatal Plus. It definitely made my pregnancy journey all the better!

The nurses were both warm and beyond professional, not only providing care to my baby, but taking care of me as well. I was actually able to rest while they were there and it allowed me to function during the day so I could tend to my boys who were home full time on their summer break. No napping during the day for me, so having Dr. Schell's services were a Godsend.

Horrible horrible horrible experience with the doula who I paid extra for because of her experience not only as a hypnobirthing doula but also as a midwife and LC, named Sharon. I went to their open house and it was a very warm experience. I thought it was an informative experience as well but now I realize I wasted hours of my time there. Why? Because they just yes yes yes-ed me on everything. This one payment covers the entire time I am in labor? "YES". What if it takes hours or days? "Yes it's still covered" No matter how long?!? "Yes no matter how long" Can they advocate for me if the doctor does something I didn't want? "Yes absolutely" So they will confront the doctor? "Yes" Will the doula take pictures and videos of the birth? "Yes" My doula will come to me to labor at home and then we go together to the hospital? "Yes" Every single question I had I was told yes by both amazing births and the doula I ended up hiring. Of course, that was just so I end up working with them. They will tell you everything you want to hear. In reality that is not the case. My doula came to my home to labor with me in the beginning stages. I ended up in the tub alone and I'm not sure where she was but she was sleeping. At a certain point I tried to get out of the tub myself and after failing over and over I had to keep calling my doula until she woke up and came to help. When it was time to go to the hospital suddenly my doula said she has to go home to take care of a few things but will meet me there. Ok. Wish she would have informed of that earlier because I was told by her AND amazing births that she will come with me to the hospital. So she went home, fed her cats, took a nap etc. Too much time had passed and she never arrived to the hospital - I was already checked in at this point and had gone for a long walk to help progress labor (kept asking my doula what I can do to help progress my labor, should I walk because my friends doula told her to do that, but Sharon kept insisting that there is nothing I can do. Yet the second I got to the hospital the nurse told me to walk walk walk their hallways to progress the labor.) I called my friend to ask what moves I can do on the birthing ball to help and got yelled at that why am I paying for a doula and where is my doula that's her job to help me with this stuff. That's when I realized my doula has been missing for a very long time and I called her. I MID LABOR HAD TO CALL HER. She said she will be right over. Then some time passed. ALOT OF TIME. Still a no show. No phone call or follow up text either. So I had to call her again and she said the police had locked down the street and she can't get out and was still home. A health care professional in an emergency can't get out?! Really?! Only after we inquired for the backup doula was she suddenly able to sneak out. My doula did nothing to help me with my labor pains. She just sat in her chair while I tried to do breathing techniques on my own. She didn't do a single hypnobirthing technique nor did she massage me. It was a horrible experience. I had to deal with each contraction on my own and in the end couldn't handle it anymore and had to get epidural and pitocin. I also looked to her for advice on the epidural and pitocin but she just kept insisting she didn't know. She also said that if a certain Dr was the delivery driver then she had no power and it would be his way. Funny though because during the interview I told her I was looking for someone specifically to work with this doctor and she said she has it handled and in the past had even had to take him out of the room and argue with him. Ah more lies she told. So this women who didn't touch me didn't massage me and completely neglected me during labor when it came time to push guess who was right there holding my leg?!!! I was so taken aback!! No one asked her to do that. In fact we specifically had asked her to take pictures and videos during the birth. And I was stuck pushing the entire time thinking look at her standing there proudly like she earned that spot when she didn't do a single thing. Thank gd my husband realized and asked one of the hospital staff to take videos. Of course we missed out on some of it. And when the baby was born guess what Sharon did then? Snapped a picture of us on HER OWN PHONE WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION!!! Who does such a thing! I had to ask her to delete it. There's more but Yelp only allows a certain length. We were so let down by the entire experience we did not bother with the follow up. Which was a shame as my baby did need the help of an LC and ended up on formula. Choose wisely. Choose someone who you know personally worked with a doula. Don't hire blindly regardless of how great they sound on paper or in the interview. Sometimes you are better off with a good friend or family member.

I enjoyed being near her. My husband and I just knew she was the one! Take the time to meet her and if she is the one, you may just know it! She spoke very openly to us; very tell-it-how-it-is. She is exactly the strong woman energy I felt I needed near me during birth. I was new to the area and had little resources. She was able to point me in directions I never knew to ask. This is invaluable. She knows the area very well and has the experience as a doula that made me feel comfortable. We were planning a HBAC (home birth after cesarean). My 2 1/2 year old daughter would be there also. It was very important that we found the right person to be support for my husband and daughter also. She was the one. My daughter grew very fond of her leading up to birth. She looked forward to our visits. I could be at ease with my daughter's position during birth with her support. Dawna helped us make our plan possible. Leading up to birth, Dawna was a constant resource. I looked forward to our visits and felt like she was my personal cheerleader. I really needed that! She knew I could do it all along. This was my second birth, and unlike my first one, I felt like everything flowed with all my plans and wishes respected. Everyone there was valuable. Dawna just did exactly what needed to be done while I was in "labor land". She gave me the encouragement I needed and took a load off my husbands shoulders. She brought me drinks with a straw without being asked. She was like an amazing birth angel. Her energy is very calm, strong/confident, go with the flow, and on point! I'm obviously very happy and would hire her again. Right after birth, she made sure I was comfortable and fed. My 2 year old couldn't wait to see her again. We all looked forward to her postpartum visit. There's a reason why she is so experienced and adored by her clients.
