Testimonials
"Lydia is a positive, calming and knowledgable doula who truly loves what she does. She showed me an extreme level of compassionate empathy during the birth of our first child. She truly understands that natural childbirth is difficult and painful. She helped me and my husband feel safe by ensuring us that the pain was healthy and purposeful. Lydia supported my birth plan, provided effective comfort measures, and worked well with my husband and the midwife/nurses. Lydia was an invaluable part of my birth team! Highly recommend!"

Lydia was so instrumental in BOTH of my pregnancies. For my first pregnancy, my husband and I met with her virtually to learn about birth prep and review our birth plans/preferences. She was so knowledgeable and so supportive to us during that time in our life becoming first time parents. She made us feel confident in prep for labor. We were able to put to use the strategies she reviewed with us and we were so glad we met with her!
For my second pregnancy, I met with Lydia because I was having fears and anxious thoughts about my birth. I told her this and she suggested that we set up some time virtually to discuss. I AM SO GLAD I DID. She once again was so understanding and listened to what I had to say. She also gave some good recommendations for podcasts to listen to. My second labor and delivery while even though a crazy story and nothing went as planned, it was the most beautiful experience of my life! Thank you Lydia for all the caring support you provided to me. Forever grateful!!”

"After a traumatic experience with a non-medicated first birth, Lydia worked with me from the very beginning of my second pregnancy to create healing. She offered emotional and professional support and resources whenever I had questions, concerns or just needed to talk. When labor started, Lydia entered our home and immediately began so many amazing comfort measures and held a space of peace I cannot explain. She encouraged me through each contraction with counter pressure and breathing techniques that allowed me to labor at home for eight hours with my husband and eighteen month old daughter. She helped me consult with my midwives when deliberating an ideal time to head to my birth center. We arrived to the center and to my surprise I was ten centimeters dilated and ready to push. Fifteen minutes later, our baby boy was born in the water into the most peaceful, beautiful atmosphere. Because of Lydia I had the absolute birth of my dreams. I cannot thank her enough and recommend her to any and all Mamas hoping for a healing, peaceful, amazing birth story. Bonus: she took some amazing photos of my labor and birth that I will cherish forever!"
