“Ali was the most incredible doula! From our first meeting, she made it a priority to understand, support, and empower me with my hopes and fears surrounding birth. When it came time for labor, she was a true anchor for me. She tirelessly provided counter pressure, words of affirmation, and all kinds of love for over 24 hours. She managed to intuit what I needed often without me even knowing or asking for it. Through the long hours and unexpected turns my labor took, her unwavering strength and support helped me and my husband come away from the experience with such positive feelings (not to mention the cutest baby boy!). I don’t want to imagine what it would have been like without her, she was invaluable to me and my husband and I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Working with Ali as our doula for our first child’s birth was nothing but seamless! She was a great communicator throughout the weeks leading up to the birth and always made us feel like we could ask if we needed anything. We were so lucky to have her with us while I labored at home and birthed at the birth center. The extra guidance and support was amazing to have including extra counter pressure, positive affirmations, words of encouragement, and holding my hand while I got sutures following the birth. It was also so nice to have a postpartum visit and go over mental health stuff that can get easily overlooked following birth. We highly recommend Ali and we’d use her again in a heartbeat!”

“I had a lot of emotional and physical trauma with my first birth that caused me to fear getting pregnant again. After trying to et pregnant and having a miscarriage, I had a whole new set of fears that I carried my entire pregnancy. When I started figuring out/thinking of delivery I know I wanted a completely different experience than my first. I started with a midwife but was still planning on an epidural. The more I learned about birth and my body the more I knew I wanted to go unmedicated. After deciding that I needed a doula, I found Ali through Instagram. We met and she meshed so well with my family. It was so comforting to me that my son loved her and that she felt like a friend to my husband and I. I felt confident that she was the last piece I needed in having the better experience I was looking for. Going into labor, I completely skipped early labor and went straight into active labor. I contacted Ali and we decided to head to the hospital. As soon as we got there and I got out of the car she immediately started counter pressure. We got into a room and when they checked me I was an 8 and less than 5 minutes later a 10. The nurses started to get pushy with me and due to back labor it was hard to move like they were pushing me to do. Ali jumped right in and protected me. She had to do this a few different times. There were times when I got overwhelmed with the pain and the experience and I started to panic but every time Ali brought me back and helped me focus on what I wanted and my goals. My baby turned weird and because of it I crowned for about 15 minutes. During this time it was so hard to focus on breathing and pushing. Ali was right there by my side and seemed to know exactly what I was struggling with. She got in front of my face and told me to open my eyes and focus on her. My baby was born and she stayed afterwards until I felt comfortable for her to leave. She was the game changer in my birth experience. My husband could have done it, but the emotional and mental outcome would have been completely different. Ali respected me, helped others to respect me, and helped me to have the peace I was looking for but didn’t have with my first.”

“Having Ali as my doula was so helpful as I navigated my first pregnancy, labor, and postpartum experience. Ali had such a calming presence and always made me feel supported. It was so beneficial to work with Ali to prepare for labor and delivery and I truly feel like I was prepared when the time came to have our baby girl and I had such a beautiful experience. I felt empowered throughout my entire birth journey. I can’t imagine what this would have been like without the constant physical and emotional support Ali provided. I definitely recommend Ali and feel she is such a valuable part of the birthing team!”

“Ali was the most amazing doula. We clicked from the very beginning. She’s so friendly and congenial it was easy to want her there for my baby’s birth day. She provided exceptional emotional and physical support throughout my entire 30 hour labor, tirelessly. Towards the end when I was feeling tired and discouraged -you know the moment mommas- I was able to pull from her empowering, calm energy to make it through those seemingly impassable moments. She knew exactly what I needed without me having to/being able to communicate those needs. She’s an absolute asset to your birth team and will help you achieve the positive experience you dream of. Thank you, Ali!!!”

“Ali is such a beautiful soul. My husband and I felt that we needed a support person for the birth of our second daughter as we knew we would be having a hospital VBAC. Ali was so helpful in providing us with lots of information and making sure we understood our rights for a hospital birth. During labor she stayed by our side and supported us whole heartedly and we couldn’t be happier that we chose her to support us on our journey. We love Ali and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a doula.”

“Ali was the most incredible support for me and my husband. We needed someone to help him feel comfortable with birthing outside the hospital outside of our midwives, and Ali did an amazing job with not only that but also teaching him about the physiological process that birth is! Our prenatal visits were so informative. Ali was so in tune with what I needed during my birth and shared in our joy as our daughter was born! She kept me grounded and was so incredibly encouraging. I would recommend her over and over again!”

”I was looking for a doula who would help me have a positive birthing experience and would educate me throughout the process so that I was prepared for birth and Ali helped me achieve that! She was very kind, gentle and knowledgable on all things birth. She helped my husband and I develop a birth plan, taught us different pain management skills, was a great advocate for us while in the hospital and was always there to answer any questions we had. During the whole process, she made it known that all three of us were a team which helped my husband feel supported too. We couldn't recommend working with Ali more!”
