  • "I was use to it only being me and my husband in the room during all of my birthing experiences and us going along with whatever the doctors said because we had no voice in the hospital. This time I wanted a couple things to be different. During our meetings we had prior to me giving birth Meredith made sure she heard and understood all of my requests and concerns she also would explain how to advocate for myself and ask for what I wanted. If at any time I was confused about anything or I had questions she could not answer she would go home do her research and send me articles where I could read about the topic I was asking about. During my labor she was extremely calm she was able to help me with positioning of the peanut ball and other techniques to help alleviate as much pain as I could. She was the extra support me and my husband needed! Not only was I able to be vocal with my requests but I was able to give birth to a healthy baby girl with the assistance of Meredith and my husband. I would highly recommend Meredith’s Doula services her gentle calm demeanor was exactly what we needed during our birthing experience."

  • "Meredith was absolutely amazing! She stayed by our side the entire labor and supported us in whichever way we (specifically I) wanted and needed.. Merediths expertise and passion for her work made our entire birth process calm. I don’t know what we would have done without her!"

  • "Meredith was a godsend. I had a number of complications late in my pregnancy, during childbirth, and for the first week of my daughter’s life and Meredith was absolutely crucial to making it through - physically and emotionally. I cannot recommend her enough! "
