We weren’t convinced we needed a doula for our first child, until we spoke with Heather. We interviewed several other experienced doulas, but Heather immediately impressed us with her professionalism, clear expertise, and reassuring calm. Her "on top of everything" demeanor was exactly what we were looking for. Before the birth, Heather made two in-home visits, helping us form our birth plan and both of our roles, and talking through breastfeeding and all our post-birth questions. She was also very communicative and availabl... read more

Heather is an incredible birth doula and photographer. My husband and I interviewed many doulas in the NY Metro area prior to the birth of our first baby and not only was Heather experienced and confident in her ability to provide support, but she was also relatable, reassuring, and kind.

She provided helpful resources and information, and immediately scheduled a (distanced and masked) in-person visit to guide me and my husband through early labor positions and comfort techniques.

Heather is more than a doula, she is a birth angel! My husband and I credit my successful 20 hour unmedicated labor and delivery in June 2018 to Heather's calming presence, endless pain management techniques, extensive experience and unflappable personality. She is the only person with whom I could imagine sharing this most intimate and transformative experience. Heather has a gift for imparting her decades of birth worker knowledge while helping a first time mother like me embrace my natural birthing instincts. She does not... read more
