Ayan I.

First time I met Bethany was on December of 2019, it was my first time meeting a doula and I was excited and assured I made the right call by choosing her as my postpartum doula.

On a short notice I asked Bethany to be inside the surgery room with me as I was going through a C-section and was surprised and filled with peace of mind when she agreed, she was with me through the whole 3 hours of that special day from prepping and helping me, advocating for my health and my choices to calming me down when I heard my baby boy's first cries. I could not imagine a birth experience without her and wish deeply that I had her by my side when my daughter was born.

In the after days of me going back home and adjusting to life with a new family member, Bethany came everyday on time to help me cope and adjust in a healthy way, she showed me the proper way to swaddle, burp and feed the baby without pressuring myself. She helped me understand that it is okay to sit down and have a meal even folded laundry with me. In those few first days Bethany showed me that I can handle this transition, that I am doing well and what I loved the most was that she included my husband and young toddler in helping with the baby. It made a huge impact on my husband who always thought that it is better off to let mama handle it all. I can’t say enough of the experience Bethany provided for me. My second birth experience is the most positive and uplifting beginning of a life that I ever had. I only wish more mothers can have the time I had with Bethany. Thank you is an understatement. God bless you and the work you do.

My husband and I had Bethany as our doula and she was absolutely wonderful! Not only did we learn a ton (I learned a bunch of exercises to do prior to labor) but she was so encouraging and supportive the entire time. During labor she was so supportive, calming and present. she allowed for my husband to take breaks to get food and update family with news and it felt comforting to have another person there next to me. She even rubbed my feet to help me relax! Anything my husband and I needed she was there. I highly recommend Bethany if you are looking for a Doula!!!

Bethany herself is a therapeutic energy, so calm and soulful. I absolutely LOVED our initial consultation, and continue to follow all of the information she shares about her encapsulation process and placenta services. She is a wealth of knowledge, and having chose a free birth, she was the first to show such genuine support and admiration. It was destiny that she would be a part of my birth story. This was my first time encapsulating my placenta, and after following her stories, I changed my order several times, which she was very gracious about. I wanted to try everything! The smoothie was MAGICAL. I felt the effects almost immediately; almost like Wolverine, healing all my wounds from the inside out, both emotional and physical. She made a “love” umbilical cord keepsake (brb crying), and split my capsules, half raw and half steamed. I would one hundred percent recommend her services to the next mama. What a gift she shares with the world, and I’m forever grateful.

Gratitude. Reflecting on this experience and this opportunity, as I sip this delicious smoothie and everything inside, and that’s the only word that can describe what I’m feeling. Yes to also more energized. yes to feeling parts of my body actively healing faster… But mostly just a warm swelling of my heart and head that I can only describe as the most overwhelming, profoundest, surrealist of gratitude. An artist in her craft, with a soulful and calm energy… hiring this one was a part of that. What a gift. Thank you so much Bethany!

Fretzel C.

I would recommend her as my birth doula. She gave me comfort around the clock prior to my labor, with constant phone call updates. She even gave me a sensational massage the night before. She did great keeping me calm with a positive mindset during my labour. Then I delivered a healthy baby girl. I had a great experience with Bethany and I would strongly recommend her as a birth doula.

  • Celiaʻs Empowering Homebirth

    “We're so blessed to have had Bethany by our side during this life-changing journey. She walked with us, offering support through in-person visits, texts, and informative resources. She encouraged my husband to learn how to support me during labor. When the time came, my husband was primed and ready to support me! During birth, Bethany was great at "reading the room" - giving me space, reminding me to breathe with subtle cues, and speaking gentle words of encouragement. After giving birth, she pampered me with a snack in bed. She made us feel loved and cared for! Can't say enough good things about her!”

  • Elizabeth's VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean)

    “Bethany is phenomenal! I believe she is the main reason I achieved my VBAC 7/2/21! From the very beginning Bethany provided great resources and information regarding birth. She truly helped me understand that pregnancy and labor are physiological process that require a women to be in her most relaxed and natural state during labor which prompted me to prepare mentally and physically.  Bethany is very knowledgeable and educated regarding pregnancy and labor. She answered any questions or concerns I had and always made me feel like I was capable of doing it! Bethany calm presence made it very easy to feel comfortable with her. During labor Bethany was amazing! I honestly don't know how I would have done it without her. She was prepared with all her labor items and was so motivating throughout the whole process. I'm definitely going to reach out to her again if I plan on having another baby!”

  • Loretta's Healing Birth Story

    “I could go on and on about Bethany, she’s a fantastic doula and help me so much with my second pregnancy. I hired her when I was around 8 weeks pregnant, I had a prior miscarriage and suffered abuse from my OB during the pregnancy and birth of my first child. I knew I needed a doula this time around to help ease that trauma along with supporting my husband and I. Bethany went out of her way to send me resources to help educate me about natural labor and delivery, risks and benefits of different options and etc. She helped create my voice to speak up to medical staff and tell them what I want. At the end she help show me and my husband breathing techniques and others to help get through labor. By the time I was in labor those techniques helped bring my baby down and I got to 9 cm before I got my epidural. I wasn’t able to call Bethany for my birth because it was so fast! My recovery was extremely fast and so easy as well since we worked on a good recovery also. Bethany was amazing, I highly recommend anyone seeking a doula to go to her.”

  • Kymberly's Unmedicated Hospital Birth

    “Wow, where do I even start? Even though my labor was SO fast(seriously 3 hours) and Bethany missed the actual birth of my son she made a world of difference in the whole process. My partner and I have a 5 year old and I knew that I wanted to do this one so different. I wanted to feel connected to my body and every sensation during the process. I wanted to do this without epidural or c-section. I knew my body was meant for this but we as women are constantly told that we need intervention for something so natural. Bethany helped educate us and remind us of our power in the hospital. And we ROCKED THAT! She gave us that extra confidence we needed to get through and it honestly brought my partner and I closer together. We felt very liberated and I can’t thank Bethany enough! I love that her business feels more like family ties and community that I think every woman deserves during motherhood especially.”

  • Ashlee's COVID Birth

    “My husband and I couldn’t be happier we chose Bethany to be a part of our birth team. Pregnancy is stressful on it’s own, but being pregnant during COVID adds another layer of uncertainty. Bethany navigated virtual services flawlessly and was able to help us make prepare for birth by providing us with ALL the evidence-based information- no judgement, no leading us to think a certain way- she was professional while also being personable and caring. What makes Bethany invaluable to us was her presence during active labor. Her touch, her presence- she was everything I needed during the intensity of labor. She helped my husband soothe me and went through multiple pain management techniques to get us through until we were ready to go to the hospital. My husband and I both could not recommend Bethany more.”

  • Taunia's Medicated, Vaginal Birth

    “Bethany was an amazing doula to work with. She has many resources and information she provides to you, which was helpful in building my understanding before I embarked on the journey of giving birth. During my labor and delivery, Bethany was very grounding and calm which was exactly the vibe I needed. She knew how to guide me at moments that further enhanced the flow of the birthing process.”

“I had an amazing experience with Bethany. She is quick to respond to texts or emails and is very caring and passionate about her work. She picked up my placenta from the hospital as promised and home delivered the pills within the next 2 days. I had no problems taking the pills and they lasted me around 8 weeks. She was also very caring and attentive to my postpartum nursing problems, even though I had not signed her up as my doula.

I would definitely recommend her to a friend and look forward to working with her in the future, should we have another baby.” –ISHA C.
