What families are saying

Maria is an absolutely incredible doula, and I am not exaggerating when I say she transformed our birth experience. We are so grateful that we found her! I am a physician and was on the fence about whether to hire a doula, and I am so glad that we chose to work with Maria. I can’t imagine having gone through my somewhat challenging labor and delivery without her. She is intuitive, kind, and professional. She has an easy-going personality and a great sense of humor. I cannot recommend her highly enough and would hire her again in a heartbeat. -Rachel
Having Maria part of our birthing experience start to finish was invaluable and more magical than I could have imagined. She helped us fully understand the hospital process and gave us guidance on how to navigate every step from pregnancy to delivery to lactation to new parenthood and everything in between. It made would could have been a confusing or challenging process one filled wtih love, calm, and empowerment. -Camilla
Christine was a calming voice in the birthing room, and an advocate for me when things got hard. Postpartum she has continued to be a support person as questions have arisen.
