Lyndelle
I sought out doula services to ensure some continuity of care and practical guidance as I was not in the midwifery program and wanted some extra support especially since I was hoping for a VBAC.
I definitely gained this continuity of care and practical support but also so much more. The relationship my doula , Lyndelle,and I built was very special, to me and my husband and our two year old daughter as well. The emotional support and guidance was so necessary and lovely, even or perhaps especially for someone who likes to focus on the practicalities. The process opened up the possibility of really honouring the pregnancy and birthing process, something I had previously not really appreciated. The quality of practical advice and information is provided is first rate. The additional perspective such a bonus to have. Lyndelle is kind, knowing, intuitive and great for a laugh when the chips are down and you’ve been up all night. She promises to be your cheerleader and she is this and so much more. I would recommend doula services and indeed Lyndelle to any mama to be. It will ensure you bring out the best in yourself at this very special and challenging time.'

It's hard to even know how to express the right amount of thanks to Lyndelle. Those 51 hours were so important in Emerald's life and without you there by my side it would have been impossible to give her the incredible advantage of a natural drug free birth.
Your insights on what to do and when to do it are just beyond incredible. " Oh gosh all I want is a mint or lolly " instantly you gave me the perfect lolly, a cold washer, a gentle word here and there, 51 hours of total attention and focus, the long hours standing in the shower wetting your shoes and comforting me through the long road of dilation....just everything !
At the point where everything was about to end the way I feared, you had a way of showing me how to find something deep inside that was needed to bring Emerald out into the world free from cold metal wrapped around her head and a cocktail of drugs surging through her little body.
She may have had a rough entry and she's only a day old but gee you have made her start amazing and from the deepest deep of my heart and Shane's we wanted to pass across our gratitude and thank you for something that was far beyond help and the closest expression of humanity and all the things that are good about humans that we have both seen. Thankyou will never be enough....
Misty
I was deeply passionate about physiological birth and threw everything I could into educating myself and my partner, building my toolkit through yoga, breath, movement and caring for my mind, understanding hospital systems and how to advocate for myself and building an understanding of birth - both the birth of my son as well as me as a mother. Because of this, and my stars aligning , I had a birth I describe as magical. Yes it was hard, painful and the most incredible experience but I was prepared. Alongside of having my doula Misty and my partner to get me though the crisis points, I can sit and reflect that if I hadn't had the education and understanding of the process of labour that I may not have had the same birth that I did. It was with all of this, that having the safe space they provided to be held, explore and learn, that I am so incredibly thankful for and can honestly say it was the best money spent for their collective wisdom and knowledge.

Misty, your kind and nurturing presence throughout the evening but particularly upon thee arrival at hospital felt homely, SAFE and reassuring. The way you mothered me after birth by helping me to shower, sharing anecdotes from the evening and putting my socks on made me feel at ease and a sense of warmth. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you have done for us but also everything you do for women and families as they embark on this wild journey.

Erin
I don't think you understand how much the right doula will help until you're living it. As a single mama, working with Erin made me feel calm, supported and she helped me build my village.
Michelle
Erin's supportive, calming and has a wealth of knowledge that can make all the difference at having a positive birth experience. During my birth she made me feel safe, supported and was always there when I needed her for anything pre & postpartum.
