Her approach makes me feel so safe & secure, and I can be myself.

"She has the ability to listen so well and make a person feel cared about. She is gentle in how she approaches babies, children, and myself included. Her approach makes me feel so safe & secure, and I can be myself. This was very important during the birth of our child, but also in the months afterwards... Every time Hope would walk in the door, I knew when she left I would feel energized to approach motherhood again. Whether it was helping me clean & tidy the house, helping me with the kids so I could rest or have alone time, time to take a shower, it was such a boost for me as new mom. I wish all new moms could have the support of Hope! The support has made this transition for our family go well. The birth of our second baby and having Hope as our doula wasn't what I expected - it was even better! She is gentle, patient, and attentive. She has a way of making a family feel like they are the most important thing in that moment. She is the kind of person that puts others first, and her approach is one of the most tender kind of care I've ever experienced. Hope knew when to step in and help during contractions, and when to let Chris and I have precious moments alone together."
