“We are so grateful for the incredible support and care we received from Grace. From our very first meeting, we felt completely at ease with her presence. She took the time to truly understand our preferences and provided us with all the information we needed to make confident and informed decisions for us as first time parents. Throughout my labor, Grace was an absolute pillar of support. She helped create a calm and empowering environment, guiding me through each step with gentle encouragement and expertise as well as supporting my partner. Her knowledge and experience were evident, but it was her unwavering emotional support that made all the difference. Grace was always there, offering reassurance and comfort when things got challenging and scary. Her calming energy helped us navigate an overwhelming experience. We feel incredibly lucky to have had her by our side during such a special time in our life. If you're looking for a doula who is caring, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to your well-being, we cannot recommend Grace enough! Our post birth visit with Grace was also magical. Having her hold our son while we enjoyed the yummy breakfast she brought over was a real treat. Grace will be a part of our lives for as long as she will have us!”

“I’m so grateful for all the support Grace has provided. Honestly, as a nurse, I wasn’t even sure I needed a doula—but I couldn’t have been more wrong. When you’re deep in the birthing zone, all that clinical knowledge can fly right out the window. In the middle of labor and intense pain, it’s hard to think logically, and that’s where Grace truly shined. Her calm presence, steady reassurance, and deep knowledge made such a difference during one of the most vulnerable and overwhelming times of my life. I especially appreciated how she really listened to me—respecting my preferences while still offering confident, clear guidance. I had so much anxiety leading up to birth—especially with my daughter’s cleft lip diagnosis and fears that things might not go as planned. Grace made me feel safe, capable, and constantly validated in my feelings. What really stood out to me was how supportive she continued to be even after the birth. She regularly checked in on me, offered encouragement, and was always just a phone call or text away when I had questions or needed reassurance. That kind of care made a huge difference during those early, emotional weeks. She’s been such an important part of my postpartum journey too, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better doula and cannot wait to use her for our next baby!”

“Grace, from the initial call I had with her to the big event of over 9 hours of labor support, provided the “grace” we needed to have an unmedicated, non-induced, stressless labor. Grace is very comfortable being a doula in a hospital setting. Having had my firstborn at home I was very apprehensive about delivering our second in a hospital. Just about every outcome I didn’t want was available to me, and I was scared as a “people pleasing middle child” that I wouldn’t know how to say “no.” This is where I knew having Grace there was the best decision we had ever made. She helped me during the prenatal visits to understand my voice in all of this. I love that she educates you as a mom and helps you make decisions that align with your birth plan. She’s not a teacher that sits back and expects you to just get it. She’s there in the trenches with you, helping make sure you understand. She asks great questions in her consultations to really hone in on what it is you’re really hoping for in your birth plan. Grace was an active part not just to educate me to advocate for what I wanted, but also cared and coached me through the toughest portions of the delivery. She helped wipe sweat off my face with a cool compress, she made sure I was hydrated, helped me change positions to move labor along, and by golly she brought a portable essential oil diffuser to help tone down that “hospital smell.” The pressure was off of my husband to take care of everything so he could focus on reminding me that my body was made for this, and to be a human support post when I felt like I’d collapse under the pressure of raging contractions.”

“Grace was a crucial member of our care team. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our vision for the birth experience, educated us thoroughly about the entire process, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt supported, comfortable, and confident. Her unwavering presence transformed moments that could have been overwhelming into cherished, lifelong memories. We are endlessly grateful for her and cannot imagine navigating pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum without her guidance and expertise. I also wouldn’t have thought to hire a birth photographer initially, but the photos she captured of the birth of our daughter are ones I’ll cherish forever.”

“10/10, no notes. I can’t imagine what the experience would have been like without Grace being a part of the journey, but I’m so glad that I will never know. We so deeply appreciate how available she made herself, how helpful she was when it came to questions and coaching, and how caring she was during the labor process. There isn’t a day or even an hour that goes by that we’re not incredibly grateful that we worked with Grace to bring our daughter into the world. Her guidance, coaching, support, kindness, and friendship made the entire experience infinitely better. We couldn’t recommend working with her any more highly!”

“The best part of having a doula? Someone consistently by your side who knows birth but is there for you throughout the journey. Grace excels at this. Her professionalism is unmatched: she really knows how to walk the line that this role requires, gracefully navigating the space between her client's partner, medical professionals and family. She won't overstep or push any of her healthcare opinions on you. But she also possesses all the warmth, love and humanity you want in a doula. Her knowledge of birth is excellent and her cooking, baking and photography skills are unreal. Really enjoyed the experience and am so happy I chose her for my journey. Zero regrets and would recommend to anyone considering.”

“We were so grateful that Grace was willing to work with us and our Kaiser benefit. She was knowledgeable, helpful, fun, and so supportive throughout the entire birth process. Her presence in the delivery room was wonderful - she created such a great vibe and supported me so well through the most challenging experience of my life. I can't imagine my birth experience without Grace, and I can't recommend her services highly enough!”

“Grace is simply heaven sent. From the moment I had the first phone call with her, I could feel her positive vibes (and I hadn’t even met her in person)! My birth only went the way it did because Grace was present. Grace is very knowledgeable and respectful as well. She was a pro in the delivery room and I would recommend her to anyone. I love her demeanor. She brought a “we’re delivering a baby today” attitude to the delivery room and she made sure it happened exactly the way I wanted it. Thank you Grace, I hope to work with you again in the future.”

“From the moment we hired Grace to the moment our little one came into this world, the whole experience has been wonderful. I had a pretty traumatic birth experience with my first child so my goal was to partner with Grace on comfortable birthing techniques, suggestions and ways to mentally prepare for my second. I manifested and dreamed of the perfect birth scenario and I’m so happy to say, my experience was beyond what I could have even dreamed. Grace was there every step of the way, she helped prep my body and mind so that I felt empowered and prepared. Just the thought of having a Doula in the room gave me so much comfort, and my second child entered this world in such a blissful and serene labor, I couldn’t have asked for anything better. And Grace was right by my side along the way.”

“Grace came into our birth team 6 days before our baby was born since he came early 37 weeks on the dot, but nevertheless we felt very at ease having Grace onboard. When we first spoke with her was on a zoom call she talked to us about her experiences as a doula what really made me happy was she had VBAC experience which is what our goal here was. Initially I thought maybe we would meet in person one time before our baby was born but he had other plans lol. But even though we hadn’t met officially in person when Grace arrived to the hospital I was in labor and she just fit right in, it was as if we had known her prior to birth day. She was an amazing asset to the team. She made me very comfortable and was able to be my voice when I wasn’t able to. She was very resourceful and respectful of my birth plan. I wouldn’t have wanted my birth to go any other way, I will be forever thankful to my doula team for my successful VBA3C. I wish I would have known Grace sooner would have probably saved me from prior birth traumas.”

“Grace is such a gift! As someone with a higher risk pregnancy who knew they’d have interventions involved in their birth experience, it was incredibly difficult to find a doula who would attend a hospital birth, let alone an induction. Grace immediately made me feel comfortable, safe, understood and accepted, rather than judged from our first conversation onwards. She provided evidence based information without bias and gave me the space to articulate my own preferences and thoughts. During my induction and labor, Grace helped me understand what was happening, advocate for myself, and provided invaluable support that imbued me with confidence. I truly don’t know what I would’ve done without her! She was a fantastic partner with all members of my medical team ensuring I had the best experience possible and is just a general joy to be around (and I would know after over 36 hours). In short, HIRE GRACE!”

“Grace went over and beyond for our family. She was there in the beginning before contractions were even starting. She addressed our concerns promptly and as very understanding and reassuring during the while process. She was instrumental in helping to alleviate pain and stress during the birthing process. We ended up having a fast and amazing water birth.”

“I cannot recommend Grace enough as a doula! In short, she is dependable, professional, and provided the perfect amount of support for my husband and I during my VBAC, and I was able to have a successful VBAC without an epidural because of her. I was fortunate enough to have hired her despite looking for a doula late in my 3rd trimester, and she stayed in close communication with me throughout my last few weeks of pregnancy. She provided a lot of helpful tips during the prenatal visit and focused on the areas that I was most concerned about for birthing. On the day of birth, she was present and extremely supportive throughout the entire day, and I most appreciated how she helped my partner know how to best support me through labor. She's also very respectful and supportive of my preferences/beliefs. She remained available for postpartum as well for any questions that we had. We are so grateful she got to be part of the birth of our son.”
