      This was the first time meeting Felisha. She helped tech my EMT class on OBGYN emergencies. She has a lot of knowledge on births. She spoke very well and answered students questions. She also engaged the class with the OB manikin that I have. Having the manikin allowed for the students to practice assisting with birth. It was also a great tool to have to show what complications can happen during pregnancies. Overall Felisha was inspiring well education lady not only did I enjoy having the student’s gave all great feed back.

      Felisha worked with me through my entire delivery which was a prolonged one. She listened to my needs and provided a source of strength and stability throughout my delivery.

      Felisha was wonderful! She took care of our baby overnight while my husband and I got some much needed sleep, and shared knowledge about feeding and basic baby care. She was also very helpful during daytime visits showing us things like how to give baby a bath, helping organize our space and baby things efficiently, trying out baby carriers, etc. She has a calm, warm, caring demeanor that helped us mitigate the initial stress of the first few weeks/month of taking care of a newborn- as anxious first time parents, we appreciated her so much!

      Felisha is wonderful! My husband and I welcomed our first child this spring and Felisha gave us fantastic support in the postpartum phase. She is very knowledgeable and experienced given her professional background and as a mom of three. Equally as important, she is kind, warm, and thoughtful. Bringing someone to your home right after going through a life changing event of becoming a parent is very intimate experience. We automatically felt at ease with Felisha and looked forward to every visit as did our son. In fact, my husband and I called her the baby whisperer because our son always seemed so happy with Felisha. Felisha helped us with daytime visits and overnights, gave us confidence, answered our questions, and importantly let us recover. For the mamas out there, the fourth trimester is real and if you are able to bring on support during this time, do it. I always appreciated how Felisha checked in with me and not just the baby. For any expecting parents thinking about working with a postpartum doula – my husband and I strongly encourage it!
