“Alysa is the #1 most important investment we made in preparation for having our first child— she is incredible!!! From the moment we started working with her, we felt taken care of and educated on all of the decisions and options we had in both labor and delivery and the postpartum period.

She tailored everything to our needs (including making a carefully organized binder with all of the evidence-based birth studies my data-loving brain could ever hope for) and went above and beyond to help us understand what would go on during labor and in the actual delivery room. For my husband, a first-time dad, Alysa empowered him to feel confident and fully participate in the process. Not only that, she advocated on our behalf during labor and helped us navigate any challenges that arose, helping us stay true to our plans for birth and making the day we brought our girl into the world the actual best day of our lives.

I cannot emphasize enough how worthwhile this investment is…Alysa changed everything for us. We feel so lucky to have found her and she will be our first call when we get pregnant again!”

“Alysa is my guardian angel! I came to her early in pregnancy when I was terrified of giving birth. Every time we met she taught me so much and calmed all of my fears with love and care. She also helped my husband understand how I was feeling and how he could help. During the birth she never left my side, was an advocate for me and helped me be comfortable and confident. And now even postpartum she is supporting me! Getting her as a doula and taking her childbirth classes was the best thing I could do for my pregnancy and my new little family.”

“My husband and I LOVED our birth class with Alysa! It was so personal and made us feel a lot more at ease about the birth process. Being one on one gave us a chance to ask all of our many, many questions. Alysa is knowledgeable, compassionate and professional. She also taught us how to advocate for ourselves in the hospital. HIGHLY recommend her birthing services!”

“Alysa was such a help during my 2nd pregnancy. She helped me be so much more informed and confident. Her support through my prenatal, birth, and postnatal was invaluable. I recommend her to all my pregnant friends. I never felt judged only supported by Alysa. She has so many resources and tools to help you.”

“Alysa is amazing! She is very knowledgeable, compassionate, and adaptable to the individual needs of her mamas-to-be. She has very calming energy yet she can also be a strong advocate for you when needed. When COVID-19 first hit in the middle of my pregnancy, all prenatal classes at the hospital were canceled and my husband and I were feeling very nervous and underprepared. Alysa provided some one-on-one educational opportunities and coaching for us, including lots of great learning materials, which were so helpful to calm our nerves and prepare us for what was to come. Although unfortunately and unexpectedly, she was not allowed to attend my birth due to COVID, she was available leading up to the big day (and on the big day) via Facetime, text, phone, and email for my many, many questions 🙂 She is an awesome friend and support!”

“Alysa exceeded our expectations! She understood our birth plan and eased our concerns and worries we had about giving birth as well! Even though everything was pretty much virtual when it came time to give birth it was like she was in the room with us! I loved how she made sure to include my husband and when we found out due to COVID that she couldn’t be in the room she trained my husband very well on what to do during labor. She is very knowledgeable on all aspects of pregnancy and birth. What really impressed us is that she understood and acknowledged the disparities that existed with me being an African American woman and even gave me tips on how to stand up for myself while in the hospital to be sure that I receive the greatest care available! She is definitely an expert and we love her! She’s like family! We would definitely recommend her to anyone who’s looking for a doula! We will definitely use her again for our future third!”
