5/5 ⭐️ Ava was an amazing doula to have! She is so sweet and compassionate and responsive to both mother’s and father’s needs during labor and delivery! She helped us with learning and getting into different laboring positions, keeping track of minutes, various calming techniques (i.e. aroma therapy, hydrotherapy, etc.), use of different tools (i.e. birthing comb, peanut ball, etc.), and timing our departure for the birthing center just right! She was so encouraging during my labor and delivery and incredibly supportive postpartum too with a gift basket, foot massage, and demonstration of how to wrap a belly binder. I had the best experience with her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future! Highly recommend!

We invited Ava into our birth space as my doula for my second baby and she was nothing short of amazing! As soon as we met, I knew she was the perfect person to support and encourage me through my labor and delivery. I called her on the way to the birth center and she met me there ready and prepared with all the coping mechanisms I needed to labor. She played soothing music, massaged my back, and gave me the best counter pressure to help with my back labor. She gave me encouraging words when I wanted to give up and checked on me multiple times during postpartum. I want her in every other birth after this! Ava will always have a very special place in my heart, she's the absolute best!

Ava created a comfortable and resourceful environment for me and my birth partner at my prenatal appointments in preparing us for labor both physically & mentally. She was intentional about helping me with my birth plan by making sure the important aspects I wanted were included and fully understanding my reasonings. Unfortunately, my birth took a drastic change that called for a medical emergency. Throughout this scary and life threatening experience for both me and my baby, I felt like I could rely on and trust Ava. She was reassuring me about the medical staff, comforting me, always advocating and asking me what I wanted & needed in each moment, and she was not afraid to ask questions. Which I admired most, Ava was not afraid to ask any and however many questions and advocate for me to the medical team assisting me to make sure she and I fully understood what was going on. She didn’t care what they would think or if she was asking too much, she cared about making sure I was fully knowledgeable on what was going on so I could make a fully informed decision. She was a constant support I could depend on in this constantly changing dire situation. Even after my birth by visiting me at the hospital with food I was craving and during my postpartum visit with her at my house that I enjoyed. I would love to have Ava as my Birth Doula again in the future.
