Thank you so much to Holly from Birthing Tree. Our whole birthing experience was beyond perfect and we were blessed to have Holly on our side helping us power through everything along the way. If anyone is looking for a doula, I highly recommend this amazing place where they make women feel empowered and fathers feel calm during their whole birthing experience. We are beyond thankful to everyone at the Birthing Tree. We couldn't have done it without you.

Caitlin was wonderful throughout my pregnancy and delivery. She answered so many questions and gave great advice and helped me prepare for labor. During labor she helped keep me calm and focused even when my birth plan went awry. Would definitely recommend The Birthing Tree!

Holly was so accommodating in working to get my placenta encapsulated very last minute! We didn’t decide to encapsulate until after the birth and scrambled to find a source. She came recommended by another local professional who couldn’t fit us in, and I’m glad we found her. Despite being over an hour away, she worked out a meeting place for drop-off/pick-up and worked quickly to get it done for us. Highly recommend!

If you are pregnant and plan to birth the baby, hire a doula. Not just any doula, hire Holly. I don’t care what your birth plan is. I don’t care if you are planning on getting an epidural or going natural. I don’t care if you’re birthing your first child or your 10th. I don’t care if you have the best doctors around. Hire Holly. When I went in to making a birth plan, I started at A: I’m pregnant and having this baby, had all these plans in between (natural birth, hypnosis, etc), and ended at Z: having a happy healthy baby. All that B through Y in between didn’t go as planned for me. However, that end result of a happy healthy baby and a happy healthy me are due in large part to having Holly there. I truly believe she saved me from narcotics that would have been transferred to my baby, possibly saved my baby with how quickly my birth experience changed and how busy everyone was, and her encouragement to push kept me from a c-section. That, to me, was undoubtedly worth every last dollar we spent in hiring her. Her knowledge pre, during, and post birth have been invaluable. She is a kind, compassionate human being. I can’t imagine what my birth story would have been like without her, and I’m glad I don’t have to.
