What parents say
Looking for a Doula? Look no further. Carolynn is a boss!!! She knows more about labor, delivery, and the birthing process than anyone that I have ever talked to. As first time parents we were nervous about what to expect in the delivery room.
I first met Carolynn when she came as the back-up doula for the birth of my first child. It was a really challenging 24-hour labor, and even though I had not met Carolynn prior to her arrival at the hospital, she calmed me down right away and got things progressing to where they needed to be.
After speaking with Carolynn on the phone, I had no doubts that I wanted to work with her. Each prenatal visit left my husband and I feeling more and more ready for the birth of our daughter, and my birth experience was more than I ever could have asked for.
My husband and I are so thankful that Carolynn was present at the birth of our first child. We would highly recommend her to anyone considering a doula. I knew early on in my pregnancy that I wanted to have a doula.
