As a doula for my birth experience she saved me from getting a c-section and was an amazing support throughout a long labor. She helped be a clear head when things were tough to make decisions that were of our best interests! Because of her I had a smooth and wonderful birth experience!!! Not only that, she supported me completely after the birth experience by a home visit and text support at any time. I was able to follow up with her with lactation help as well! She really is an amazing woman and has a unique set of skills and experience to help during what could be a very stressful and anxiety filled experience into a beautiful and joyful experience. I could write on and on about how great April is!

She is professional, holistic, and truly helps to find the best approach for each individual. She thinks ‘outside of the box’ which allows each person she encounters to feel heard and taken care of. I am beyond blessed to have found her.

She is so knowledgeable and helps educate women and help them find their voice in order to advocate for themselves and their families. As a doula, she was incredibly accessible, supportive and empowering. She truly helped me reach my goal of having an unmedicated birth, I could not have done it without her support. Now she is helping me through the postpartum phase with nutrition, breastfeeding and more. So thankful for her!

Everything from nutrition to pregnancy to birth to nursing and beyond support has been incredible. I deeply appreciate that she places such value on listening to my mamas gut, too. April is the best of the best!

June 22, 2023 at 1:21 am | Client reviewAll roads always lead to April. I recommend her and The Well to anyone and everyone I speak to. April makes you feel at home the second that you meet her. She listens and helps course correct, she holds your health as a mother (and your baby’s health) above all else. She empowers you to make decisions based on your own preference, but with information. There’s truly no better person to trust with your care. I lucked out on finding her during my search for a doula. She will be the voice in your head when you’re breastfeeding and things feel hard. She will be your logic during transition when you’re searching for any and all relief. She will be your game time quarterback and source of calm when things may not be going to plan. Run, do not walk, to schedule a consult with her!

June 26, 2023 at 1:33 am | Client reviewApril was my first experience working with a doula and she was a key reason why I was able to achieve my home birth VBAC. Her focus on supporting the entire pregnancy rather than just the birth provided so much more support (physically, emotionally, and in a way spiritually) for my husband and I. I am so grateful for her support both during and after the birth. I hope to work with her again if we decide to have more children.
