“Hope has been a LIFESAVER through my first pregnancy! Her years of experience in nursing plus her genuine passion for pregnancy/childbirth are clearly shown in everything she does… She is extremely well-researched and always remained unbiased and non-judgmental in whatever I decided… She put me at ease going into childbirth and made me so much more confident in my own ability.”

I cannot recommend Hope highly enough. She was professional, kind, caring, considerate, and attentive to all of my needs.

Her extensive knowledge about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum, all backed by thorough research, was truly impressive. I also highly recommend taking her birth education course—it’s incredibly informative!

Throughout my pregnancy, Hope was always available to answer my questions, provide resources, and offer emotional support. She took the time to understand my birth preferences and worked closely with me to develop a birth plan that reflected my desires and values.

When the big day came and I went into labor in the middle of the night, Hope was swift to respond and arrived quickly. She supported me during labor and met my needs. Everything we learned in her birth education course empowered me to have the natural birth of my dreams. I couldn’t have done it without her support!

In the end, Hope felt like a friend, and I’m so grateful to have had her as part of such a significant moment in my life. She is someone who truly works from the heart and is passionate about helping people.

“Five stars! Hope is knowledgeable in all things fertility and female-hormone related. She was super helpful and answered all my questions thoroughly.”

I would recommend having Hope be a part of every single woman’s pregnancy and labor, no matter what your experience has been or what your goals are. She was such a great source of evidence-based knowledge and comfort throughout. I never felt judged or pressured about what I wanted or questions I had, she was so supportive and put all my fears to rest. Having Hope there for my labor was so special, she was steadfast and calm the entire time. She is very knowledgeable about nonpharmacological pain management and safe, effective labor progression techniques. This was my second labor experience, and it was so incredibly better than my first!

I’m so thankful for Hope’s continuous support as we navigated the healthcare system- the entire process would have been so much more stressful without her as our sounding board. Hope helped us have an organic start to labor at 40+ weeks and deliver our healthy baby, rather than being bullied into an induction at 37 weeks!

My birth experience would not have been the some without Hope. She educated me and my husband on what to expect as our pregnancy progressed and helped us formulate our birth plan. Hope assured me along the way and helped me stick to our original plan as much as possible. Having her there I felt empowered, safe and confident. Not only was she my doula, but became someone I quickly trusted for sound advice postpartum and who I can still reach out to, to this day. She’s always willing to help in any way she can. She’s an outstanding, God-fearing Doula that I am now happy to call my friend.

Last year I spoke to Hope about having her as a doula when I first found out I was pregnant. I ended up having a miscarriage during the summer and Hope was so supportive during that time frame and gave advice to help make sure my body was ready to try and get pregnant again. Hope checked in often and I felt like she really cared about me and my family. I 100% knew once we were pregnant again, I was going to use her services to help prepare me for birth.

Shortly after I found out I was pregnant again, I reached out to Hope to make sure we were still able to have her as our doula. She immediately reached back out to me with all the services she provided and answered any questions that I had. The in person classes that Hope provided were very informative and helped me understand the before, during, and after of pregnancy. Again she answered any questions I had in class and was very responsive when I would ask questions via text.

When making my birth plan, I never felt pressured to have my plan a certain way. I always felt supported in what I wanted to do.

I ended up having an induction instead of laboring at home like I originally wanted to do. Hope was involved via text or in person from the start of the induction. As soon as we told her we were needing labor support she was immediately on her way to the hospital. When the contractions started to become unbearable, Hope was there to get me through them. I 100% believe that I was able to give birth without

an epidural because of the labor support provided by Hope. She was even coaching my husband during the labor as well.

Having a doula was the best choice I made at the start of my pregnancy. I hope to be able to have Hope as my doula again if I am able to have another baby.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed taking Hope’s class and would recommend her to anyone! As first-time parents it was important to us to be as educated as possible in order to make the best decision about our birthing plan for our family. If you are looking to have a natural childbirth, Hope goes into great detail about the anatomy and physiology of your body and how to work with your baby. Not only is this course packed with information about processes, intervention possibilities, and expectations; but she also gives you helpful tools for nutrition, pain management, and empowerment to trust the design of your body. Hope made herself available for any questions or concerns along the way, and was very thorough in her response. Thank you, Hope!
