  • We had the absolute joy of working with Megan as our birth doula, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From our very first meeting, Megan was present, informative, and incredibly supportive. She brought a calm and reassuring presence that made a world of difference throughout our birth experience. During early labor, Megan was our steady guide. She helped my husband and me feel grounded, confident, and informed every step of the way. When labor intensified, we leaned heavily on her expertise to help us determine the right time to head to the hospital, a decision that felt so much less stressful thanks to her calm and knowledgeable approach. Throughout the entire process, Megan offered helpful techniques, valuable information, and unwavering encouragement. Her presence in the delivery room was both peaceful and empowering, and she supported both me and my husband in a way that felt seamless and intuitive. We are so grateful to have had Megan by our side during such a monumental life moment. It was truly a joy to work with her, and we feel so lucky to have had her

  • Megan worked with us as a postpartum doula when my son was 2-6 weeks of age. She was incredible to work with and I highly recommend her to any parents who are looking for support along their journey whether that’s for a doula during pregnancy and birth or postpartum. Megan was very professional, helpful, caring, supportive to both me and my baby, is a strong communicator, was very knowledgeable, and was always on time! She helped me with breastfeeding and my transition to pumping and would support me when I was feeding the baby by doing a household chore or making me a snack or cup of tea/coffee. It was such a relief to have her by my side during that time and I’m very grateful we met her.

  • Hiring Megan was the best decision we made during our pregnancy. The peace of mind, excellence, and overall care given during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum is outstanding. We felt personally equipped and supported through every step of the way. Megan is kind and well trained, making her the perfect doula. We will indeed be hiring her again in the future!

  • New motherhood can be overwhelming, especially those moments when your baby just won't stop crying. Megan is a lifesaver! She expertly taught me how to engage with and soothe my baby, and even encouraged me to take time for myself. Her empathetic and thoughtful approach was exactly what this overwhelmed new mom needed. If you're considering a postpartum doula, stop wondering and just do it – Megan is the personal hype woman you didn't know you needed. Highly recommend!

  • Megan is absolutely wonderful. As an anxious first time mom, having her as my doula made all the difference. She has a very calm, nurturing presence. I couldn’t imagine navigating the complicated birth I had without her. She is extremely resourceful and knowledgeable. Megan collaborated with the labor and delivery nurses to further my labor progression and utilized her amazing network of birth and healthcare workers to ensure I had a good plan of care. It is evident that she is passionate about what she does. You won’t regret hiring her as a birth or postpartum doula.
