Testimonials
“I loved working with Lucy as both a birth and postpartum doula. She understands all aspects of birth, blending deep expertise with strong intuition. Her presence is gentle yet fierce and she is a powerful space holder. From the prenatal visits, to talking us through early labor, to showing up at the hospital for the big event, I was always impressed and inspired by her. I had an amazing birth, everything went as I had hoped, and know that it wouldn't have been possible without her there supporting my husband and I. As a bonus, she took great photos and video of the birth that I didn't even know I needed and now cherish.
I loved working with her so much during my birth that I had her come support us for postpartum too. Her postpartum care really helped me through a portal, empowering me to be the mom I want to be.
If you have the opportunity to work with Lucy, go for it! You will be so happy you did.”

“We had such a positive experience with Lucy from end to end. I was drawn to her for her reverence toward birth and the major transition into motherhood. As our birth doula, she was thoughtful about connecting with my partner before the big day, and empowered him throughout the birth experience to be the kind of support to me that he wanted to be (but may not have known how to be without Lucy’s experience and wisdom). She was such a support to us both through labor and birth. She was exceptional at keeping the birth space positive, guiding me through positions, keeping me fed and hydrated, as well as focused! She listened and she was so perceptive to my needs I often didn’t have to utter a word. During the more intense moments, she put my partner at ease and reassured us. She was a powerful advocate for me through labor and really followed through on creating the birth space I desired. I know that without her there elements of my birth wishes would have been missed; she made sure they happened. I feel so grateful I got to have her there, her support and guidance were essential to making this life-changing event a positive and empowering one.
I am also so grateful for all of her expanding offerings, supporting women from prenatal through postpartum and building such valuable community for motherhood. Thank you, Lucy!”

“Lucy supported me as a postpartum Doula and I couldn't recommend her enough! She was such a joy and pleasure to work with, her passion for helping mamas is obvious and she was extremely professional and easy going. It was so important for me being a first time mom to have her there answering my questions, soothing my concerns, offering supportive gifts and connection. She helped me feel like I could relax with confidence into our new phase. She even was a champion helping my partner clean our house from the home birth, which was an impressive feat! Thank you Lucy for helping our new family have a great start!”

“Working with Lucy has been the biggest gift we could have asked for during our families postpartum season. After bringing out twins home from the NICU Lucy has helped us transition to our new routines, care for our babies, and give us valuable moments for much needed self-care. Lucy has made what might have otherwise been a truly overwhelming life transition much more calm, peaceful, manageable, and joyful.”
