Testimonials
“I interviewed 4 doulas, after i spoke with Meredith and corresponded with them a few times, I knew that they were the one. They have a background in Kinesiology, their philosophy is rooted in science, and empathy. They listened to my needs, guided me, and supported my choices 100% of the way. Meredith was super responsive to emails, text messages, and jumped out of bed at 3:00am to meet as I started to labor. They provided me with all the tools necessary that helped me cope with my delivery and it was as smooth as it could have been. This was my second child and I wish that I worked with Meredith for my first one.”

“We had the pleasure to work with Meredith for the birth of my second child and I am so glad we hired them. Their knowledge, experience and compassion helped me getting through some times of uncertainty during my pregnancy and they were the best support I could wish for during birth. Prior to giving birth, they helped me a lot with my questions and anxiety around VBAC and really tried to understand (and helped me figure out) what I wanted for the time in the hospital/in labor. They also introduced me to their backup which I really appreciated since one of my biggest fears was that I would have to be alone at birth. In this short period of time I felt like they really got to know me and my family and it felt very natural to have them with me when it was time to give birth. Their calm and comforting presence was exactly what I needed when I was in labor and they were very reassuring whatever decisions I made in terms of pain control.
I loved that they wrote down their version of the day I gave birth and gave it to me afterwards. Such an amazing memory of things I wouldn't have remembered of this special day.”

My wife and I cannot say enough positive things about having Meredith attend the birth of our second child. They were incredibly supportive, non-judgemental and just wonderful at meeting us exactly where we were in each part of the process. Meredith was crucial to providing my wife the support she needed while I was laboring and was an integral part of our care team both at home and at the hospital.

“It seems like the number one defining quality that Meredith bases their practice on is meeting their clients where they are and supporting them in finding the path through labor and delivery that works for them. This was really important to me as I didn't want to feel pressured to labor in a certain way. I also really appreciate that Meredith's practice is intentional about being inclusive and trauma informed. Most of all, I felt like Meredith truly cared about us and our experience. I would strongly recommend working with Meredith for anyone but especially for those who are looking to feel in control of their own process but supported and truly cared for along the way.”

“We hired Meredith for the birth of my second child and that was the best decision that we made. They were very knowledgeable, caring and supportive during the whole birth process. We had several introductory meet-ups before the labor, and they would listen to our concerns carefully, and they would make very useful suggestions/comments and later would follow up with more useful links or videos to study and watch. Meredith was the only support person present in my labor, and their calm presence helped me to go through a very tough labor. my son was born very early morning, and Meredith stayed with me until my husband could join me. I really appreciate their limitless support during before and after the labor. Meredith is a very caring and compassionate person, and it was truly a please to work with them.”
