"Before the big event, she was always willing to answer our questions and help in any way possible.
Her experience as a mother and educated doula helped me remain calm during the entire labor progression. She comforted
my wife, kept her focused and helped her to manage her pain through guided relaxation and other techniques. Throughout,
MaryBeth made me feel like an essential part of the birthing process. She helped me to realize my role in the birth
of our first child. I was able to comfort my wife without being frightful or worried that I was doing the wrong thing
for her. My confidence in MaryBeth's abilities also allowed me to leave my wife's side and assist in the delivery of
our son." F.K.
"My doula was never more than a phone call away. I could count on her no matter the
need. She took time to understand my personal needs. It wouldn't have been the same without her." N.B.
"Having a woman's support during labor was invaluable. I will most certainly look toward utilizing
her services in the future. I strongly recommend MaryBeth as a doula." E.P.
"I would absolutely hire MaryBeth again. Whenever we had a question, she found out the answer.
She had unbiased answers for the many questions we had. I felt as though all my decisions were supported by her."

"During labor, MaryBeth was so helpful and encouraging. She made sure I was comfortable,
encouraged me through contractions, gave me guidance when I needed it and allowed my husband a break. MaryBeth advocated
for me with the nurses when I needed something. After delivery, MaryBeth took some wonderful pictures of our first moments
with our son and helped me nurse him for the first time. After I got home, MaryBeth called to check on me a few times and
she wrote a wonderful and touching account of our son's birth." H.D.
"I just think it helps me labor better when I know that I have a "safety net" and an advocate
with me every step of the way. I feel like I can let go of trying to manage the situation because she can take care
of that and I can just go "into myself" and experience the birthing process!" T.T.
