What Other Clients Say: 

Birth Doula clients say:

What words of gratitude are there that can possibly express how we feel?? You have given us a gift that will last a lifetime. Quinn's birth was so special and your love and guidance made it all possible. Thank you. Dean and Sara 

It would have been scary without you! Thanks for giving us peace of mind as we went through each stage of labor. It was reassuring to know that we had an advocate who cared about our well-being. We also appreciated your support of our choice to deliver in a hospital. You did NOT do anything to pressure us to do anything we did not feel comfortable with. See you next baby! Stephanie and Aaron 

With Yvonne's guidance during pregnancy and her steadfast, patient, calm and cheerful support during labor, we have the birth I dreamt of. It was as perfect as they get. All the pain medication I required was Yvonne's hands. Wonderful experience. Katie 

I could not have done this without Yvonne, but with her guidance, I came off like the World's Greatest Labor Coach. Art

I don't know what we would have done without you, Yvonne! We love you and can't wait to share our next birth with you. Vicki

You were essential to guiding us through such a daunting experience...My FIRST birth experience. Your calming effect on Vicki was nearly magical, and you motivated and pushed her in ways I could not. Thank you, You're good at this! Cory 

I couldn't have had the birth experience that I did without you. You are such an amazing person and I feel blessed to know you. You are one of a kind which makes you so special. Unfortunately, you are one of a kind and the world could use ten thousand more of you. Thank you for keeping me calm and focused, and most of all thank you for your support, wisdom , encouragement and love. Jessie and Habib

We'd like to thank you for all your help during our pregnancy and birth of Benjamin. We appreciate your positive attitude and belief in natural childbirth, which helped a lot for us to have this amazing experience. We are glad that you were part of Benjamin's birth and we will have you in our hearts forever. Melinda and Brian  

Your presence made it possible for me to have the kind of birth I wanted. Having your calm presence and loving support helped me get through the toughest parts of my labor and also made it possible for my husband to be with our lovely baby immediately after birth without feeling he had  abandoned me! Gina

I don't believe we would have have been able to have a natural birth without our doula. Sam

You are a gift to humanity. GLORIA Grandma to Natalia

We'd like to thank you again for helping us welcome our beautiful baby into this world. We couldn't have done it without you. You will definitely be recommended. Gina and Steven

It was such a blessing to have you here to be part of the amazing experience of bringing our baby into the world. I know we COULD have done it, but I wouldn't have wanted to do it without you! Aricha and Ian

"My wife and I just had our first child and Yvonne was our Doula. I can’t imagine going through the birthing process without having her there. She was extremely helpful and provided us with a tremendous amount of support, knowledge, warmth and comfort during the birth of our son. " Ric and Jaime

Your presence and your support helped me a lot physically and emotionally. I had a wonderful birth experience. Thank You! Olga

Thanks Yvonne, your assistance was invaluable. MATT

Yvonne is an angel!  With her help and guidance it was a relaxed (for the most part!),  jubilant, drug-free, fun, and confidence-building learning experience.  With the reward of  a responsive, calm, beautiful baby girl and 13 days of endorphins afterwards as a mommy gift! GERI

We look forward to Yvonne’s help and spirit when we have our next baby. TIM

What words can describe how grateful we are for your support and encouragement during my pregnancy and the birth of our baby. I know I wouldn't have been able to do my dream "natural birth" without you..thank you, thank you.    KRISTI

I want to thank you for all your support during my pregnancy and most of all during my labor. You made my labor and delivery complete. I knew as soon as I saw you, everything was going to be ok. You are an amazing doula. Thank you for all you do. Deanna 

We can't really put into words how much you helped us through the long process of Adam's birth. Your touch and kind words through every moment, helped make it okay and gave us the courage to know we were making good decisions. Thank you for everything. Michelle and Dan

We want to thank you for going above and beyond the call of duty for our birth. You will forever hold a special place in our hearts for your support and guidance as we brought our son into the world.  Your gentle presence and focused attention really helped us create the laboring experience we longed for. You live up to your name "Doula With Love". I hope many more couples will be blessed by your presence at their births.  Kasi and Rob 

The support, confidence and wealth of knowledge during the actual labor was incredible. But the service we got from you, leading up to the labor was invaluable! We would not have been able to navigate our way, especially as first time parents, through some very difficult decisions leading up to the labor had it not been for our beloved doula. In this time when c-section seemed to be the "go to" response for everything ! I would strongly recommend anyone who is aiming for a natural, drug-free birth to hire  Yvonne. She had the confidence that my body could do what it was designed to do, naturally, when virtually no one else did!  Candace
