Testimonials

Having a doula was a wonderful experience for us! Our doula made us feel much more informed and therefore much more at ease for labour and delivery." - Shelley C.

It's been 10 months since you aided in Chloe's delivery at Rockyview. I just wanted to drop you a line and thank you so much for your help and support during the birthing process. I often think of this moment in my life and I am conscious of how much your attention to my well-being created a very memorable experience for me. I was so aware of your voice; constant and reassuring; strengthening and helping to focus my energy. I need you to know how much I appreciated you. Thanks so much, - Alison C. (and Kurt and Chloe) 

"Our doula was absolutely wonderful! She helped make our first birth everything we wanted. We will be calling her when we have our second." -  Sara C.

"Having Tracey as our doula at the birth of our second son was a wonderful blessing. She encouraged me in my moment of doubt the day before I delivered when I was discouraged by my doctor's statistics, and that then helped fuel my desire for a natural birth even more. Her advice weeks and days before the birth, constant vigilance during the delivery, and follow-up with us after delivery were full of caring, loving support for each member of our family. She was especially helpful to me during the most difficult times of delivery, asking me to look right at her and utter sounds that carried me through when I wouldn't have had any idea what to do. Her coaching of my husband and I, knowing just what we needed to hear and do at just the right moment, was uncanny and exact. We are so grateful for Tracey's presence at our baby's birth, and for everything she did to make it the picture perfect natural birth that we dreamed of. From the bottoms of our hearts, thank you Tracey!" - Jean and Dennis
