She deserves 5 stars because she's a wonderful massage therapist!!

My husband and I can't say enough great things about BBC. We signed up for everything-- birth…read moreclasses, comfort measures, breastfeeding, yoga, etc., alllll the things (!)-- and had Julia present during labor/delivery. BBC is a community. Their classes are packed (in a really good, intentionally-sized way, no in an overcrowded, classroom way), and their Rochester and surrounding network is huge (think: PT, chiro, OBGYN, yoga, provider, etc.). Everyone we met throughout classes was well-informed, patient (with my zillion questions), and obviously embedded within the hospital systems. Labor and delivery at Strong clearly know (and respect) BBC. Everyone at BBC is focused on YOUR agenda, not theirs (and helping you figure out what you want, if you haven't sorted this part out and want to!). During my delivery, Julia was my (and my husband's) support and advocate. She helped me clarify my goals and find my voice. My labor/delivery didn't go as I'd planned, but because of BBC, my experience was positive. One of the many brilliant things about BBC is that the community aspect doesn't "end" after delivery-- it continues through their groups/classes geared towards learning how to adjust to life post-baby, life with a toddler, returning to work, etc. I love it here! Thanks, BBC.

I cannot recommend the services provided at Beautiful Birth Choices enough. I attended prenatal…read moreyoga, as well as childbirth class series and a breastfeeding 101 class prior to giving birth to my son. I always felt very welcomed and a strong sense of community. The yoga teachers are all wonderful, providing a safe environment to practice in, with knowledge of modifications needed for pregnancy, and welcoming people of all skill levels. The birthing/breastfeeding classes were very informative and helped me feel more confident about the choices I made during labor & delivery. Since having my son, I have come back for Breastfeeding Cafe on Wednesdays, and felt a strong sense of community there as well. There are many support groups for VBAC, c-section, and "life with baby," and they can also connect you with doula services. We are very lucky to have them in the Rochester community!

Colleen is amazing! Colleen assisted me and my husband for…read morethe birth of our first daughter and our labor experience was made so much better by having Colleen there. In all our meetings before my delivery, Colleen educated both me and my husband about things we could expect when we went into labor, and everything she taught us was so helpful and practical. My favorite thing about working with Colleen is how much she cares about educating the birthing partner for what is coming, as well as the mama. Before and during my labor, she was helping my husband understand what was going on, and coaching him on how he could help me as I labored. He felt empowered and I felt so confident knowing there was someone to help us BOTH through the process. If you're looking for someone well educated who can help give you confidence before, during, and after your birth, Colleen is your girl. - Maliya S.

As a young woman, I have always viewed labor and delivery as a scary and painful experience, but she made me feel comfortable and even looking forward to the experience. She made it feel achievable! She was attentive and thorough in all her interactions from the initial phone call to the post partum visit. She went through all potential interventions that could happen and was able to help us feel prepared. She was timely in every response and happy to answer any questions throughout my pregnancy that I needed support on. We came up with a birth plan, one unique to what we wanted to help us feel confident going into the hospital. I am happy to report we were successful in experiencing a natural birth with no epidural (thank you hip squeezes and the shower). She really supported my husband in natural pain management techniques by education and taking over when he needed a break to give me the best shot at delivering naturally. She also supported emotionally and giving me words of encouragement each contraction. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a doula. Every woman deserves someone like Colleen in their most vulnerable state.

As a first time mom new to Toronto I had zero support. I was so grateful for Sharon's care of our daughter and guidance for me as a new mother. She showed me how to use my breast pump, ways to help feed a bottle, burping and baby wrapping methods. She made me feel at ease and helped me get some rest in those early nights. Something I didn't think I could do anything about. I highly highly recommend considering a night doula if it's in your budget. It gave us peace of mind and we would definitely hire again for another child.

We had a WONDERFUL virtual/in person experience with Kristi and Jabir. Due to the pandemic, when we…read morehired them we went for the virtual package pre and post natal. We had a really informative and helpful one on one zoom call about 1.5 months prior to my due date, but they were answering my questions in our group WhatsApp chat from the moment I signed up! They always responded so promptly, and put our minds at ease. I had a c-section scheduled, but went into labour two days before! So Kristi was able to help guide me through the symptoms and contractions and advise us when we should head to the hospital. After we came home, we utilized them a LOT for all our baby questions from sleep patterns, rashes, breastfeeding, anything! We upgraded to have our lactation specialist come into the home and help us - 100% worth it and we still refer back to what we learned with her. Kristi is well versed in breastfeeding techniques, so helped us keep up with things - and when our baby cried straight for two days, was able to advise us over a call that the baby might still be hungry and need top ups, and solved our crying baby! We used our last session for an in person visit with Kristi, so she could meet our baby (lower risk times) and still she helped us with gas issues/ideas to help baby, etc. I cannot recommend this service enough! I'm a first time Mom, and having them in my corner was the best thing I did for myself and my family. Do not hesitate to hire them - even virtually - because they really do go above and beyond and it's a wonderful experience.
