Anne was an integral part of achieving a VBAC and I am very grateful for that! --ZW
There were many reasons we wanted a doula and one of them was to feel at ease and find peace in the process of labor and delivery. Anne definitely provided that for us. She is wonderful! --MM
Anne was a source of hope and encouragement for us and I am so very glad we worked with her for the birth of our son. --MH
I cannot thank Anne enough for helping me through my goal of delivering my son naturally...she truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond to assist in any way. --KT
Anne provided my husband and me with peace of mind in knowing someone would be there with us in the initial weeks following the birth of our son. --MK (postpartum client)
I honestly don’t think I could’ve done it without her. I’m eternally grateful for all her help, guidance and encouragement... --BV
I can't thank you enough for everything you did for me during such important time in my life...I think if wasn't for your encouragement maybe my VBAC wouldn't have been so successful. --DL
I usually don't write any reviews but I needed to write this one as we were completely satisfied with her work. We had a successful VBAC. She was very gentle, calm and reassuring throughout my labor. We highly recommend her! --SL
Anne was a fantastic doula. --EZ
Both my husband and I agree that without Anne with us, we would've had a completely different experience. --AP
Forget your mother, mother-in-law or cousin: Anne is the calm, experienced Mamma you want in the lead up to birth and the delivery room! --CF
Anne was absolutely instrumental in helping me achieve this beautiful healing birth...I strongly recommend Anne as a doula for anyone, and especially for those with a history of trauma, as she always helped me to feel safe and respected. --EG
I had a unmedicated VBAC within 7 hours of checking into the hospital. Anne is too humble to admit it but she played a large part in my success...I couldn't imagine having anyone else on my birthing team. --GG
Instead of feeling traumatized and scarred as I did with my first C section, I came out empowered and confident...We are so forever grateful for Anne's guidance and support as we brought our baby into this world and we highly recommend her! --JP
Anne was the key to my natural, calm, empowered birth experience. --JK
I wanted a doula to help me get through the labor...without ending up having a C-section, and happily I had another VBA2C. I would highly recommend Anne as a doula! --GP
One of the most important things she said to me was that my c-section was still a birth and didn't have to be a hard and cold medical procedure. I truly could not have gotten through my daughter's birth without her. She's amazing! --GF
I had a great experience with Anne and will be always very grateful to her for fully supporting me. --IA
Anne listened to [my] wishes for an all-natural VBAC birth and provided personal insight as well as many educational resources to help prepare. She helped me feel completely prepared for birth. --JC
[Anne] was calming, warm, easy to talk to and extremely well informed. During our prenatal meetings, she helped me make lists of questions for my doctors and provided books and DVDs to help educate me on VBACs. My labor was as smooth as it could have possibly been and the whole experience was perfect, in large part thanks to Anne. --GJ
Having Anne at the birth of our daughter was one of the best decisions that we made to ensure a great birthing experience! --R&K
We were amazed at the service that we received from Anne before, during and after my VBAC birth with twins. My husband and I felt as if we could not have had anyone else in our corner that was so supportive of my birthing plans. --MH
I can't imagine anyone doing a better job as a birth doula...my husband agrees that hiring a doula was a great idea. --Anon
We were very grateful to have Anne at our birth and couldn't have done it without her. --JD
My first childbirth experience had been quite challenging; and because of that, I felt it was important to have a doula for my second birthing experience. Anne was an excellent fit because she was willing to try many techniques during labor, including various non-medical options for pain relief. --MB
My husband and I had a great experience with Anne from the start! While my birth didn't go exactly as planned (I had to be induced) Anne helped me adjust to the new situation and reassured me I could still have the birth I wanted. She was a huge part in helping me have the natural birth I set out to have. --CP
Yes, my husband and I could have managed on our own but having someone who really knew the labor process and to provide guidance was a huge help and kept us calm. --S
[Anne's] calm and confident demeanor kept me believing that I could deliver our baby without interventions. Hiring Anne was the smartest decision my husband and I made in preparation for the natural birth of our son. --EC
Anne knows a lot of techniques to manage the pain, and is very supportive of whatever choice you make for your birth...She is truly dedicated to this and is a wonderful doula! --V&M
[Anne] knew exactly the kind of birth I wanted. When the plan changed, she was very helpful in helping me have as close to a natural birth as possible...--NR
I don't know if things would have happened the way they did if you were not there! You truly did a great job being a doula. You were made for this! --LM
Her positive outlook and personal experience with VBAC fostered a wonderful comfort level from the beginning. I don't know what I would have done without her! --PS
Anne has been a great support partner before, during and after the birth of our son, she was committed beyond our expectations. Being a doula is clearly not just a job for her, it’s a vocation! --EM
