We are beyond grateful for Doula Love's matching service and for pairing us with our incredible…read moredoula, Nomarie. We were a little on the fence about hiring a doula since this was our second baby, but we really wanted that holistic, nurturing care that a hospital alone can't always provide -- and Nomarie was exactly what we'd hoped for. I'm not what you'd call a "country granola" type of mom -- I went into this birth fully planning on (and very much wanting!) all the pain relief and medical support. But there's still such an important place for a doula in that environment. Nomarie helped bring warmth, connection, and a truly holistic touch to what could have otherwise felt like a very clinical experience. From the very first meeting, she made us feel comfortable, supported, and truly heard. She took the time to understand our hopes for the birth and was such a calming, confident presence every step of the way. When labor began, Nomarie was our angel -- grounding us through every contraction, guiding my partner on how to support me, and helping us navigate all the twists and turns that came our way. Even when things got complicated after our baby was born, she never left our side. Her steady reassurance and calm energy made us feel safe and less scared during a really overwhelming moment. Looking back, I honestly can't imagine our birth experience without her. She helped us feel empowered and cared for in one of the most intense and beautiful moments of our lives. I would recommend Doula Love and Nomarie a thousand times over -- they gave us the support we didn't even know we needed.

She has such a calm and confident aura in a birthing room. Maggie catered to my scheduling needs, answered my husbands many home birth questions, and has now helped me have 2 amazing birth experiences. Also loved our doula, Zimillia!! The 2 together was truly the best birthing team I could have had.

This woman did not care about my wants and need in labor. She told me she could drive to the coast…read moreif need be for my labor.. Then when we were on the coast to birth my baby she told me it was too far. So she made us drive to Eugene while I through up the entire way. Then she tells me she doesn't think I should have my baby in my bus and we should get a room. Even though I had planned to have baby in the bus the entire pregnancy and had it all set up minus the birthing pool she was suppose to provide. Instead she didn't provide the pool because she said it would be too much work too fill up the pool. It wouldn't of been her filling it up it would of been my husband. She could have helped me find a hose. Or I could of got one. But I compromised and decided to go to the room because she said their was a tub in the room. Then she proceeded to tell my husband to stay in the bus with our 2 year old. Then went to the room and went to sleep. And didn't even inform my husband which room we were in. My husband went to sleep expecting somebody to come get him. It was terrible for me. I had nobody there to comfort me and Liz just kept making me feel like the birth wasn't progressing fast enough. She went and d breakfast with her co worker and left me alone a lot. Never once thought to go wake my husband up. Why did she do all of this because it was what was easiest on her. She then post on her page kudos to all the men that hold their woman through every contraction. My husband did what she told her to do and made me feel like I had to do it alone without my husband untill zealan wakes up. I finally at like 9 am went down stairs by myself to get him. She also never called to set up a 6 week appointment i never heard from her. Then today 5 months later I call her to let her know she ruined my birthing experience.. she tells me she didn't know i wanted my husband their with me and she didn't know my birthing plan... which is all a lie. Because all i wanted was to have my baby in my bus with my son and husband and her in the background. With my lights, tea, tapestries, pool, I had jmsuxh high hopes for my birth. I had nothing to drink or eat in their. I had to drink the sink water. It was disgusting. When I was ready to have my baby she told me to get on the bed not get in the water. I wanted nothing more than to pull my baby out of the water. And she knew that.
