Learning of women who give birth naturally inspired me greatly to do the same. With that in mind, I also knew anything could happen at any time during my pregnancy and with a doula to guide me through this process I knew it would lessen my worry, especially during a hospital birth. I was on the fence about having a doula during my first ever pregnancy because I felt that I had the strength necessary and have an invaluable amount of support from my husband and family. I was 37 weeks when we decided to finally choose a doula as I learned it was more than just trusting my strength. When I reached out to RB, Megan responded to me promptly and even though I was so late in deciding my wishes, Megan made sure I knew it was okay. With RB I was able to tailor the services to exactly what I wanted. Jennifer was amazing in the entire process. She came to my home almost immediately and listened to my wishes and questions and made me feel that my wants were not unrealistic. When I went into labor, Jennifer was there for us instantly with an answer for all my questions. When it was time to head to the hospital, she advocated for me in all the ways I needed. She guided me through my pain management and honored my wishes when there was something I didn’t want to do. My dream of having a natural birth came true with her help. For any mom out there on the fence about a doula or receiving services from RB please do it. My only regret is that I didn’t meet Jennifer or reach out to RB sooner in my pregnancy.

I've used Rooted Birth for both of my pregnancies. Both times, I felt supported and cared for. They helped ensure my husband could take care of my needs (because they don't always know how to help in this situation). In my last birth, the OB was pushing to break my water and my Doula Rachel advocated for me because she knew that was not what I wanted at that time. I know I would've gone into a situation I was not prepared for had I given in and I'm grateful I was lucky enough to have the birth I wanted. She empowered me and helped me through the long day.

Megan with Rooted Birth is an excellent and professional doula! I highly recommend her and her team. You have the option to interview and choose who you feel is the best fit for you as you build your birth team. My husband and I were incredibly grateful to have Megan with us. Not only did she provide support during labor and birth, but she also set up a couple appointments beforehand, and also visited us after our son was born. Her support was incredible, providing a chance for my husband as well to get some rest while I was in labor. She met with us at our home prior to transitioning over to the birth center. Her care is authentic and genuine. If you are hesitant about hiring a doula, I highly recommend Rooted Birth! I know when time comes for us to have a second baby, we will be hiring Megan again!

Yvette has been my doula from pregnancy through postpartum. As a new mom, she has been so helpful navigating me in this journey and I had the best birth experience thanks to her. Like most births, things didn’t go quite as planned, but Yvette helped keep me calm & truly comforted me through the whole process. There are no words that can amount to how grateful my family is for her impact on us through such a life changing time. Experienced, knowledgeable, & compassionate!!! Momma, Trust me when I say you deserve a doula & Yvette is the best.

Yvette was a stand-out among the several doulas I first interviewed in 2018 before the birth of my first child. Her calm, steady, and strong demeanor helped me and my husband trust her immediately. My goal of laboring at home for as long as possible, along with an unmedicated birth in a hospital not just with my first baby, but also my second, was made possible in part by Yvette's knowledge and support (emotional and physical!). When we arrived at the hospital, Yvette took note of the positions I'd been most comfortable laboring in at home and immediately rearranged the hospital bed to accommodate those preferences. She provided amazing counter-pressure during contractions and offered help and support to my husband when neither of us were sure what to do or what might help. It may seem small, but she would also offer snacks and even stayed with me during my long first labor so my husband could get a break and grab something from the cafeteria. She took photos, she talked to nurses, she encouraged us. She also helped me with both of my babies' first nursing sessions and stayed with us from labor & delivery room to post-partum recovery room. She ensured we were comfortable and fed before leaving the hospital. I am truly grateful for Yvette. We have already booked her for baby #3 arriving later this year. I can't imagine giving birth without her by our side again!

I’m so glad I had Aubrey as our doula. She answered my many questions pre and post birth as my husband and I embarked on having our first born. She took a huge load off of our shoulders in the postpartum sessions by doing meal prep, laundry, and generally supporting me with a fussy baby when I needed sleep or a shower. Her support allowed my husband to get back into the office. She has a passion about birth and childcare and was super knowledgeable in answering my questions. I know my husband was also very thankful to have her as a resource as we were thrown a curveball in delivery. Thank you, Aubrey!!

My experience with Aubrey as my doula has been absolutely invaluable and I am so incredibly grateful to her for everything she has helped me with throughout pregnancy and during my long labor. Even my fiancé who was skeptical about the idea of a doula is so thankful for her and all of her help prior to and during our birth experience! She was there for us through every step of the way since we met her at our first prenatal appointment, easing my anxieties about motherhood, the experience of labor, post-partum, you name it! My labor was 23 hours and she was with me the entire time, advocating for me in the hospital and encouraging me to advocate for myself and what I wanted for my birth experience as a mom. When my experience didn’t go exactly as I planned, Aubrey reminded me of how strong I was and that there was nothing to regret about the way my labor was panning out. She even helped my fiancé and I truly bond and brought us closer during the birthing of our first baby boy. I will always look back on my whole experience with positive feelings because of Aubrey’s help and I truly cannot thank her enough for everything! I could go on for days but the bottom line is I HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for a kind, strong, knowledgeable, and empathetic doula!

Aubrey was such a wonderful aid to me and my husband leading up to, and immediately following the birth of my daughter. She was very accommodating to my family's particular needs. She's extremely efficient with her time when visiting; I feel like I hardly had to ask for help because she anticipated my needs so well and was super proactive and organized about care. She took her time with us, offered compassion and companionship, as well as an unbiased and non-judgemental approach to educating me and my husband on all the new parental things. During my most vulnerable time, I completely trusted Aubrey to support me and I will do so again with my second!
