Reviews from our Clients:
"I was very determined to have an all natural labor with no medication, I couldn't have done it without the help of Jessica. She is the best doula I could have had! Im glad I had her as a doula. From walking to massaging she helped me through my whole labor I highly recommend her to any soon to be mother. :)"

"Working with Caroline for the birth of our first born (home birth) was not only necessary but a true blessing. We really appreciated our pre visits as the techniques we went over together prepped us with even more tools for the birth. Caroline was professional, jovial, reliable, confident, encouraging, thorough, calm and believed in my power to have the birth I desired. These qualities and so many more were exactly what I needed from my birth team. Caroline worked harmoniously together with the midwifes to create the ultimate nurturing and professional environment in our home. Overall we really admired Carolines enthusiasm and dedication to her craft and our family. We are forever grateful for the service you provided us!” - Christina R

From our Partners:
"Our collaboration with The Joy in Birthing Foundation, and its director Giuditta Tornetta, has been such a blessing for our program. Our clients tend to be socially isolated and very low income; being able to link them with volunteer doulas for support during the birth of their babies has been incredibly valuable. The doulas have demonstrated great compassion and sensitivity for our clients both before and after the births of their babies. They have done a great job of helping our clients feel supported and at ease throughout the process. We have also had the opportunity to collaborate with the Foundation on providing educational workshops for our clients and the community. The quality of their workshops, coupled with the professionalism of the Foundation staff in coordinating these events, has been outstanding. We treasure our partnership with The Joy in Birthing Foundation". –Tasha Boucher, LMFT, Program Coordinator, Partnerships for Families, Providence Saint John’s Child & Family Development Center

"Fatima J., a teen mother who received doula support from Danika recently told us, 'She made my labor the best and easiest experience, and I am so grateful I had this opportunity.' Reaction to the program has been overwhelmingly positive among teens and doulas...While doula services are often expensive, these volunteers provide their services free of charge. We are grateful for the expertise and time doulas donate to ensure that pregnant and parenting teens are informed and supported, and believe that their impact will be long lasting." |
