She has been more than just a doula – she's been my guide, offering invaluable insights and comforting advice. Calm and soothing nature, coupled with her role as my support system and cheerleader. She has truly created an amazing pregnancy journey for me, and I can't thank her enough. If I decide to have another baby, there's no doubt I would want Summer as my doula once again."

  • "My birth ended up being expedited, but thanks to Summer's resources and guidance, we managed to organize everything just in time for a comfortable scheduled C-section. When the hospital decided to keep me, I was incredibly nervous. Summer arrived within an hour of me letting her know about the change in plans, and her presence immediately put me at ease. She made sure the doctors were aware of my birth preferences and assisted whenever she could. What I really loved was that the information covered during her sessions was exactly what I experienced in real life. I felt so empowered and in control of my experience because of her. Her postpartum visits and regular check-ins were invaluable, providing much-needed reassurance and support during the transition period for my partner and me. Summer's dedication and care were evident in every interaction, making a significant difference in our experience. If you are considering a doula, I highly recommend Summer. Her expertise and compassionate support are unmatched."
