“TL;DR: Our transition into parenthood was an order of magnitude smoother, safer and more enjoyable with Izzy as a support and guide. If you have the means you should **absolutely** hire her.
Izzy helped us understand the detailed ins and outs of what to expect at each stage in labor and within the hospital birthing process. She was available via text for questions and came to our home to help my partner and me understand how we could stay comfortable there during early labor. We especially appreciate that she so intentionally included and prepared my husband. He confidently knew what to do and specific ways to effectively make delivery easier for us and could jump into action since we had clearly discussed our desires in advance…”

“Izzy was an unbelievable resource to have at our delivery. She showed up in exactly the way we needed and was just an incredible source of support both during and before and after our delivery day. She is a loving and gentle soul and I couldn’t recommend her more as a doula.”

“I’ll start with saying that Izzy was an answer to my prayers. The first time I met Izzy I realized she was the support person I needed for my last stage of pregnancy and delivery process. When I knew about her Doula services I felt strongly convinced that she has so much passion and experience helping woman to make their birthing experience, special and unique. She is caring, friendly and trustworthy. I will be forever grateful for being with me through the night when my active labor started until my baby boy’s birth. She was always there for me and that meant a lot to me. She’s now part of our family!!! Love you!!!”

“We absolutely loved our doula Izzy!!! I can’t express just how much she meant to us throughout our birth journey. She was very engaging and compassionate and made me feel so comfortable talking with her within our first visit!! She was so personable and went beyond what I envisioned for a doula. I was able to have the birth that I desired at the hospital even tho I had wanted a home birth Izzy made it possible to have a protected space in the hospital. I couldn’t have asked for a better birth it was incredible!! She took care of everything so I could be in my zone while laboring and didn’t have to worry that I wasn’t going to be heard regarding all my birth wishes. I highly recommend her! We absolutely loved her and I know she puts in so much time and energy and love for all her mamas!!!!”

“There isn’t one part of me that wouldn’t recommend Izzy to any mother whether a first time mom or not! She was the missing puzzle piece that I needed at the end of my pregnancy and even more so during labor. Our journey to bring our son into this world was definitely not an easy one but Izzy made me feel so much comfortable with the labor and delivery process. A whole 36 hours of labor and she never left our side!! I truly am so thankful that she came into our life to share such a special day with us and continues to support us and our baby boy now. She is such an amazing person inside and out and loves her mamas to be with her whole heart and that meant the world to me! I will forever be grateful for her.”

“Izzy made our experience unforgettable! I cannot recommend her highly enough! She has the best energy and outlook on birth, and took the time to really understand what my wife and I wanted. As a new dad, I felt out of my element most of the time- but Izzy knew exactly what to do and say throughout the entire birth. She made us feel so at ease, during what could have been the most stressful moments of our lives. The kind of support that Izzy provided was unmatched and there is no one I would have rather had there with us. She guided my wife safely through each phase of her natural, unmedicated birth. Thank you so much Izzy, 5 stars is not nearly enough, we love you!!!”

“Izzy was an invaluable source of positivity, knowledge, optimism and practical tools/techniques. She was patient, flexible, positive and compassionate through my labor. When plans changed she adapted and was able to hold space for all the emotions that came with those changes. I am so grateful for her help in learning to be compassionate with myself and helping me bond and nurse with my sweet baby during golden hour. Thank you Izzy!”

“I will be forever grateful for Izzy and her role during my birth. She truly made the experience and her guidance helped me achieve a natural birth. Her prenatal appointments were super informative and helpful for my partner and I. She’s so warm and kind, she instantly makes me feel at ease. During the birth she always knew what to do; hip squeezing during contractions, cool rags on my face, essential oils, fanning my face. Not to mention the emotional support and the safety that I felt with her. I really could not have done it without her!!”

“We are so grateful for Izzy! She is full of grace and made the birth of our firstborn son Atlas so special.
Her presence with mama in the pangs of labor was so grounding and helpful. Before the water even broke, she had us make cards of positive affirmations that we could pin in the birth room. She brought some lights to the hospital to make it more cozy, and she had a wonderful music playlist that helped with the overall atmosphere in the room.
She knew so many techniques to help with the pain and her guidance was super helpful. She even wrote a beautiful poem about her experience with the birth and brought us to happy tears….She made our experience so wonderful!…Thank you Izzy!”

“Izzy is a fantastic doula and a great person. My wife and I hired Izzy for postpartum doula support following the birth of our daughter, and I can’t overstate how helpful she has been to us during the post-birth acclimation period – truly instrumental in influencing my wife’s recovery.
Izzy is compassionate, understanding, and wonderful with the baby — everything you would want in a doula. Highly recommended!”
