As a first-time mother navigating through the pregnancy and childbirth, I couldn't have asked for a better support person. Alexis always listened to my concerns and anxieties while providing me with options for my family. I always felt empowered to make decisions because of the knowledge Alexis had during this process. I ended up having a c-section birth and my baby went to the transition unit for a few hours due to low oxygen. Hospital policy did not allow doulas in the operation room; however, Alexis came immediately after I was transitioned to post-op while my husband was with our baby. Alexis had so much empathy for the situation and encouraged me while I was without my family. At our request, she spent time with our family once baby was in our postpartum room at the hospital and took some beautiful pictures. She even brought some delicious lactation treats! After going home with baby and husband, Alexis checked in on me often. She was able to help me navigate through my baby blues by validating my feelings and helping me realize the extreme emotions would pass. I will absolutely be asking Alexis to be at my next birth.

Alexis was the Doula during the birth of my first child in February. Having her there to advocate for me and what I wanted to achieve was priceless. She was extremely thorough and walked me through every case scenario and how I would want to respond to it while my mind was clear. Then was there to keep me calm and motivated to achieve the birth I wanted to achieve. She advocated for my wishes when I couldn’t advocate for myself. She kept everyone calm, when they didn’t know how to handle seeing me in pain. I am forever grateful for what she has done for my family. You won’t regret having her by your side.
