I can’t say enough about how incredible Alexis was throughout my birthing journey. After experiencing a stillbirth last year due to a medical error, I was filled with anxiety and fear about giving birth again. Alexis was a true blessing—empathetic, patient, and deeply in tune with my needs. She protected the energy of my birth, creating a space that was safe, intimate, and centered around my healing. She worked seamlessly with my midwife, and I am so grateful she was part of welcoming my rainbow baby into the world. As a first-time mom, I had so many questions and concerns, especially when it came to breastfeeding and caring for my daughter. Alexis was so patient, offering engaging and knowledgeable advice while making sure I felt confident in my ability to care for my baby. She even involved my husband in the process, which meant so much to both of us. One of the most memorable parts of my experience was how Alexis used holistic practices to make labor more bearable. She guided me through a visual breakdown to manage the pain of my contractions and created a peaceful environment with essential oils and body oils. Her homemade herbal teas, postpartum bath soaks, and pad sickles were total game changers for my recovery, especially for healing my second-degree tear. Alexis also reminded me of the importance of self-care, even after the birth. Her support allowed me to rest and truly focus on my healing. Her services were incredibly affordable, and she worked with us to create a payment plan that fit our budget. For anyone looking for a doula who is compassionate, culturally aware, and spiritually connected, Alexis is meant for this work. She was more than a doula—she was a vital part of my birth village. I genuinely don't know where I would be without her. I feel so blessed to have had her on my postpartum team, and I highly recommend her to any birthing person looking for an empowered, equitable, and heart-centered experience.

I am so grateful for the incredible support I received from Alexis during both my birth and postpartum periods. Her thoughtfulness and mindfulness were truly remarkable. During labor, she guided me through my contractions with such care, helping me find a focused state where I could harness the energy of each contraction and not run from the pain. The birth experience was nothing short of amazing, and Alexis played a huge role in making it magical, especially after my first child’s birth, which ended in an emergency c-section. She had a unique ability to help me understand what was happening with my body by mentally painting a clear picture of each stage, which was incredibly reassuring. Her support didn’t stop at birth; she also cared for our son so I could get much-needed rest and provided invaluable help with lactation. Alexis’s dedication and expertise made a significant difference during this vulnerable time, and I couldn’t be more thankful for her support.
