Cannot say enough good things about Candice!! Candice was an amazing post partum doula! She helped us through the night for the first month after our daughter was born. Her expertise, holistic approach and positive, reassuring demeanor was exactly what we needed during one of the craziest, most special times for us. Highly recommend!!

I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have had Candice by my side during my VBAC. From the moment we began working together, her calming presence, unwavering support, and deep knowledge made all the difference. During those moments when I felt like giving up, she encouraged me to keep going, reminding me of my strength and guiding me every step of the way. Without her, I don’t think I would have been able to achieve the natural birth I had hoped for. Thank you, Candice, for helping me bring my baby into the world with confidence and care. You are truly a blessing!
