March 3, 2021 at 9:32 am | Client reviewChelsey and I go way back to our college sorority days at HBU so I know her passion for everything she does would shine in her work as my doula. From the first time I spoke with her about a doula’s role in my pregnancy to our postpartum visit, she has been a wealth of knowledge for my baby and I. Going into my first pregnancy, I wanted a natural birth, but due to preeclampsia, I had to be induced at 37 weeks which honestly scared me…but Chelsey kept sending me tons of resources and checking in on me daily. When it came time for the induction, the plans changed, again, due to hospital policy, and Chelsey sent me evidence-based articles to help support my decision when I didn’t agree with my OB’s drug choice for induction. During labor, she kept telling me “five more minutes, you can do this for five more minutes” to encourage me to push through my contractions and assisted me into different positions to promote labor progression. She worked so well with the hospital staff and was such a blessing to have during my labor and delivery, especially since my husband and I did not know what to expect at all! She even took pictures immediately after the delivery of our new family- pictures that I still cherish and show to everyone. I couldn’t imagine my birth without the love and support Chelsey gave to us! I HIGHLY recommend her and can’t wait for her to be a part of our next pregnancy!!

March 3, 2021 at 9:37 am | Client reviewMy husband and I had the benefit of working with Chelsey as our Doula for the birth of our first daughter. I was able to meet with her ahead of time to discuss our birth plan and our goal to deliver as naturally as possible. Chelsey also had experience with The Bradley Method from her own delivery which was important to us. Unfortunately my water broke early and we had to start adjusting our birth plan from there. Chelsey was very helpful in discussing the options given by our doctor and letting us choose how to proceed. During the labor process, I found the extra support to be crucial to the process. Chelsey helped coach my husband in ways to provide counter pressure and other support as my contractions increased in intensity. When presented with pain relief options from the nursing staff, Chelsey helped provide clarity and remind me of potential effects on myself and my baby so I could make an educated decision on how to proceed. She was with me through the actual delivery process and was able to assist me with helping the baby latch for her first feeding. I am so grateful she was there to help us. While my birth process didn’t go as planned, I felt I was able to make adjustments with less compromising than I could have done on my own.

March 3, 2021 at 9:43 am | Client review“Before meeting Chelsey, my idea of a quintessential doula was a crunchy hippie who smelled like essential oils and shrieked when you said the word epidural like you mentioned Voldemort. I wanted a medicated birth, and because of that alone, I never thought I’d have a doula. Little did I know, a doula that is truly doing her job is supportive of whatever birth plan the mother wants. It is primarily her (or his) job to support the mother, including if she wants medication.
Chelsey provided me with valuable information to support my entire pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. She helped me with my diet, my baby registry, my mental health, and frequently checked in after my doctor’s appointments. She educated me on what to expect during the birth so that I had less anxiety surrounding what I knew nothing about at the time. She also met with my husband and I on how he could help me through contractions at home before I went to the hospital.
While my husband would have loved to play the traditional role of my birth coach, he was extremely grateful that Chelsey filled that responsibility and took the pressure off of him. She was supportive of my birth plan and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat as a critical member of my birth team should the need arise again.”
