Testimonials
Here are testimonials from some of my past clients I assisted in their births. They have been kind enough to write very generous things about my services:
Jennifer Aguilar, Bellevue, WA
"Caroline was our postpartum doula immediately after the birth of my fourth child. She was flexible, efficient and knowledgeable. She never hesitated to jump in and do whatever was needed.
Many people think a mom of three children (and then four), doesn't need much help. How wrong they are! Postpartum is a time of transition for all involved, and (all) moms always need support so they can turn their attention to the baby and the rest/recovery period. Caroline is not just an excellent postpartum doula, she is an excellent person. We still miss her!"
Lynn Pendleton, Durango, CO
"I have known Caroline for five years--first as the care provider in our home for my eldest son's first year, and then as the doula for my second son's homebirth. Caroline is compassionate and professional. Her love for her work is evident and reflects in her gentle, caring spirit. A mother herself, Caroline intuitively knows how to support moms and babes."
Mary Orans, Durango, CO
"Caroline is a wonderful Doula. I was not feeling comfortable about the birth of my son, but Caroline put me at ease. Having her to talk to before the big day, and her calmness through the birthing process, helped bring my crazy little Jeremiah Tate to me. It's been over 3 years and we still keep in touch. What can I say... if Caroline wasn't in Portland, ME I would have another baby!!!"
Alex Robinette, Austin, TX
My husband and I desired a private birth but wanted someone with experience to help guide us through the process, hold our hand and offer support if we needed to make decisions. The birth of our son was a little long and complicated, but Caroline kept me relaxed and focused through it all. My husband and I were both very relieved to have her there to laugh and cry with and not feel so overwhelmed by the process. After our son was born, Caroline provided essential help in the mornings so that I could rest after the long nights. She was able to share her wisdom about child care when we knew so little. Those first few weeks with our son are among our most cherished memories, and through it all Caroline became a good friend to us and will always be a part of those memories."
Michelle Sullivan, Hamilton, MA
"Despite the distance and scheduling conflicts, you still took us on. I'm sure you were often exhausted, but you never showed it. You always were so giving and compassionate. You let me "vent" about Cassi's health without ever being judgmental. Instead, you offered me encouragement and support. You were able to balance both girls' needs so that I could have time to myself - which I sorely needed. It was always so easy to be with you. You are a wonderful person and a wonderful doula and anyone would be lucky and blessed to spend time with you. Thank you!"
