KIND WORDS

  • ✶

    Having a doula meant support for myself and my partner as we navigated our first birth journey. Having Skye as our doula meant connecting with someone who was always on her game, having our space held in all the ways we needed, and having someone who was extremely diligent. We are so grateful to have someone who answered our questions when she could, and made active efforts to follow up with anything she may not have 100% had an answer to (as infrequently as that was), which spoke to her professionalism. She had a way of adding such personalized touches to every moment we worked together and made the laboring space exactly what I needed. My birth did not go as I planned, nor as I had wanted, but it was a birth that I was able to handle, cope with, mourn, and even still enjoy because of Skye’s doula support and guidance.

    Skye was the absolute best person to have during the birth of my son. I feel so fortunate and lucky to have had the opportunity to have someone so supportive and understanding at such a vulnerable time!

    I was blessed to have her to help me with a smooth delivery for my daughter, but even more blessed because I now have a lifelong friend, who I honestly consider my family.

    She was the biggest help for me during labor. I honestly don’t think I could’ve done it without her support.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to educate us. You have made us feel so much more prepared for this journey. We stayed up all night talking about everything you taught us. I now hold excitement in my heart instead of fear..you have no idea how much that means to me to feel empowered instead of frantically scared.
