Darcy is such a warm and welcoming person. I first met her when I attended her prenatal yoga class,…read morewhich was great to get to know her and some other local pregnant mamas! My husband and I then took the Yoga for Birth class that she teaches and that was beyond helpful and really helped us feel ready, or as ready as possible, with techniques and poses to help during labor and birth. And then after my baby was born we went to the baby and mom yoga classes. She really creates a culture of open sharing and non judgment. She also encourages Moms to look to each other for support and resources so that you can start new relationships with moms going through the same thing as you are. Finally, I had Darcy come to my house for a lactation consultation and she was so helpful and again encouraging. I will definitely lean on Darcy again for my next pregnancy!

Dover Doula provided me with excellent breast-feeding support. Darcy is patient, knowledgeable, an…read moreexcellent listener and extremely helpful. I've been to other lactation consultants who pretty much take over the whole process and not let you do it yourself so when you get back home you still have no idea what you're doing. Darcy not only came to my home but she stood back, watched what I was doing first and then offered her advice and support in a very kind and reassuring manner. I highly recommend her!

Ellie is an absolute gem. My husband and I first worked with her as a sleep consultant during a…read morebrutal 18 month sleep regression for our daughter. Both empathetic and whip-smart, Ellie helped identify specific actions we could take to get sleep back on track. It was so reassuring to make a plan with her and to have real time follow up so that we could course correct and adjust as needed. When we encountered some challenges with the 2 to 1 nap transition, Ellie was the only person we wanted help from and once again she was exactly the resource we needed. We also felt SO supported by Ellie as a birth and postpartum doula for our second child. Using zoom, email, text, and phone, Ellie was like an expert big sister in the weeks leading up to the birth, as well as in the beginnings of labor, and most especially in the early postpartum period. The birth escalated so quickly that there wasn't time for zoom support, but honestly the postpartum support alone was invaluable (and thank goodness for Ellie's nudge via phone for us to hightail it to the hospital-- our son was almost born in the car). Her expertise in sleep and lactation along with being a thoughtful and experienced mom of three... I truly can't speak highly enough. We will forever be grateful to Ellie for helping us grow into happier, stronger parents, and she will forever be our go-to for all questions parenting / birth / sleep!

The Concord Birth Center was out of this world incredible. My wife and I just had our first child…read more10 hrs ago. Kate our lead midwife was nothing short of 10 out of 10. We arrived at the center at 6:30pm. As a man I super curious about how a natural birth would go. However, I got to experience the most beautiful gift I have ever received up close and personal. It was difficult to watch my wife go through the struggle, however, Kate was on top of every move. She had my wife in a tub, in different positions for different phases of the pregnancy. And come to find out she is coming up on her 800 birth that she has been apart of. To anyone who is looking for an alternative to the hospital experience and can handle a natural birth, I recommend this place with full enthusiasm. Our baby girl was delivered at 11:17pm. The birth could not have gone any smoother. I am so grateful to Kate and her assistant Bryn. Words can not express our gratitude. Outstanding job!!!! Thank you for playing such a huge part in one of the greatest days of our lives. You two are the BEST!!!!!
