Testimonials

"Kelly is a pleasure to be with, even when you're in the middle of labor! She has a calm, and sensitive demeanor that I really appreciated when the going got tough. She knows her way around the delivery room and wasn't afraid to advocate for my needs. She listened well and helped the birthing process go the way I wanted. When we got to the end, she massaged my tired body, took priceless photos, and took notes to later write out the story of Henry's birth for us, which is a wonderful treasure." —AR



"Marnie is knowledgeable, supportive, and nurturing. She is a personal advocate who knows how to effectively communicate your needs to the other professionals involved in your healthcare with the utmost respect. She is an open, non-judgmental labor partner who's sole objective is to meet you exactly where you are during one of life's biggest events…"

"As a long term massage client, Marnie's presence and touch during a difficult labor was invaluable, my body instantly responding to her gentle and familiar support. She was an amazing advocate and a calming force when I was scared and confused, enabling me to find my own strength and courage." —KR



"My husband was skeptical when I first told him we should hire a doula but after the birth of our baby, he realized the experience would not have been the same without Kelly. She was such a great support both in preparation for the birth as well as during the crazy events of labor and delivery. Her experience gave us more confidence going into the process and helped us feel better prepared. Her advice and suggestions were invaluable and at the same time she really allowed us to make our own decisions when needed but with her full support. The icing on the cake was the birth story she recorded as I wasn't in the frame of mind to remember much!" —CK



"Having Marnie at my side for the birth of my daughter was amazing! She was a great support to me and my husband throughout the labor and after. It was a relief to have such a competent advocate in the delivery room. She is straightforward and courageous, exactly what I needed! I especially loved the birth story she wrote for us afterwards." —JM



"Kelly was a wonderful doula. I had an abnormally long early labor and ended up being in labor for 3 days, pushing for 4 hours only to end up with a c-section, and Kelly was with me every step of the way. The fact that she does massage in addition to the basic doula services I felt made a big difference through out my experience. Thank you again Kelly!"
