“I had a very difficult time breastfeeding. Carolyn was always supportive and offered new ways to try and help. When I made the difficult decision to stop breastfeeding she never made me feel guilty and showed the support I needed.”                                                                                                                           

“She made sure I was eating and drinking enough and gave me the confidence to breastfeed.” Colleen

“My doula provided my favorite resources for breastfeeding before my baby’s birth. I have had no major problems. When I shared info from other resources she always extended on the info. Her skill and comfort with babies and related activities was valuable. I had to provide instruction to my mother and other family members but never to my doula. She always provided stress free help and advice.”                                                                                                         

“I had no idea how much there was to learn about all things pregnancy through postpartum, and I went into this feeling pretty prepared having done a lot of independent research.  I am truly grateful for you sharing your vast knowledge with us yesterday and look forward to calling upon you in the future if/when the need arises.  It’s been enriching meeting and working with you!”                                  

“Carolyn was an invaluable asset during my birth process. I could not have gone through it and went without the epidural without her. Her calming voice and massage techniques and reassurance to me was fabulous. She was a great presence in the delivery room and helped both myself and my husband through the entire process.”                                                                                                                                            

I can’t imagine doing this without the support that Carolyn provided.

“Very helpful!!! She bonded very well with the mother and father and was a huge help to nursing and midwifery staff. Would love to have her back to help with any patients!”                                                                                                                              

“Labor was much longer than average (57 hours). Carolyn’s assistance allowed me to use natural pain management techniques much longer (49 hours) than otherwise would have been possible. She also greatly assisted the father by allowing him to focus on other needs during labor. Carolyn stayed for the entire labor with very little rest and provided a constant amidst rotations of doctors, nurses, etc. That was very comforting and helpful.”                

We both felt you were the best fit, most knowledgeable and a good blend of practical and hippy.

Carolyn was extraordinary.  I had a complicated delivery and post-delivery.  Carolyn provided the utmost amazing support, guidance, advice, care and love throughout the entire labor and delivery process.  She is kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable.
