Kind Words From Our Lovely Clients
“Hiring a doula from the Birth First community was one of the best decisions we made during our pregnancy and birth journey. From our very first introduction, she made us feel so comfortable. As we began working with our doula, she was incredible at making me feel supported and empowered during our discussions leading up to labor. Also, she was great at making my husband feel included in the entire process. She answered my questions and concerns with evidence-based research and made several helpful suggestions about natural ways to get baby and myself ready for labor. I have no doubt that the relationship we had built over the several weeks leading up to my delivery was the key to our amazing birth experience.”
Eva, Portland, Oregon
“5 Google stars could not possibly represent the value that our doula has brought to our life. This was our first child so we had some normal new parent anxiety but we also just recently moved to Portland and have no other family support here. Our doula provided unfathomable levels of expertise and support to our journey that made what could have been one of the most stressful things ever, one of the most beautiful and timeless experiences we could imagine. She truly goes ALL IN with her clients in the most genuine and supportive way possible. My wife said that it was like having a second mom for her at the birth, and she felt sooooooo taken care of during the birth process.”
Alex, Portland, Oregon
“I knew that hiring a doula was the right decision for me and my family, and based on the reviews I saw, I decided to turn to Birth First. I’m so glad I did. I was looking forward to a birth with as few interventions as possible, and our doula helped me achieve that. From the moment she walked into the delivery room, she was a calm, knowledgeable, confident presence. She effortlessly partnered with the medical staff while ensuring that my and my husband’s needs and preferences were met. She always read the room remarkably well. I’m 100% certain that the reason I was able to pursue an unmedicated birth was due to our doula’s support. I’m so glad our doula was a part of my family’s birth story.”
