One simple description of Barb and her services: she’s your mom without the (good and/or bad) baggage that comes with your actual mom. Meaning during pregnancy she answered all questions and concerns my husband and I had, leading us towards the feeling of trust. Trust in our abilities but also the process of birth. During birth she supported both of us through the waves of labor and delivery, being a calming and strong shoulder to lean and rest on. Sounds too dreamy? She knows her stuff, has a lot of experience and a full medical background. So if you’re still trying to convince someone why you might need a doula: peace of mind-yes, and also a strong backbone to fight for your rights and wishes when you or your partner are unable to do it yourself. We 100% recommend her and her services for a peace of mind and no bulls*t pregnancy and delivery.

Barb is a wonderful person; she guided my husband and I through pregnancy and the birth of our first child a little over a year ago. Her honest, ‘down to earth’ approach is what we loved the most the moment we met. I would recommend Barb to anyone looking for a doula, birthing classes and parenting resources. When we’re ready for number two, we will have her by our side once again! We love you, Barb!!
Barb has been such a blessing to our family! We started out with her birth class and after getting to know her and experience her wealth of knowledge, we decided to hire her as our full service birth doula as well. She was there with us every step of the way and helped us welcome our son into the world! I must have asked her a million questions and she was kind and gracious throughout the entire process. As a first time mom, she is exactly who you need on your team!
I just need to start by saying I have so much love for Barb and all she does. Before I met Barb, I had spoken with other two other Doulas and had pretty much decided I did not want a Doula. I just did not get that comfortable feeling I had expected. I thought maybe I had expected too much and sabotaged my own expectations, therefore, disappointing myself. Then I decided to take one of Barb’s birthing classes. My boyfriend and I arrived at a VERY colorful building. Bright colors make me so happy so this was an incredible first impression! We walk in and she introduces herself and it literally felt like I had known her for years. Her class was so laid back, down to earth, and straight forward. She has a way of completely explaining everything she teaches and everything you would like to know about pregnancy, labor, and birth in a way that’s totally understandable for everyone. She will take your concerns and stressors and turn them into just another part of life and make you feel totally calm about them. If you have things you’re worried about when it comes to your pregnancy, labor, and birth, chances are she’s seen that situation and knows how to handle it. Barb is not just a Doula. She is The Doula. She is also an educator. Being a Doula is not just a hobby of Barb’s. She is completely dedicated to helping her clients and she makes you feel like you are the most important pregnancy and birth that is happening. She is absolutely amazing and she will make your pregnancy, labor, and birth a memorable life event that you will want to share with everyone.
Barb is absolutely amazing! Her doula service is just wonderful and I've already sent a couple of friends to her. We had our daughter last year and were looking for something rather special (postpartum care). Barb was so open and understanding. We figured out a great system and our time together was fantastic. My husband and I are first time parents and so, Barb helped us understand our little one's needs and wants much better, especially in those first, rather confusing days after the birth. She also helped us find tons of other, really great providers for prenatal and postpartum care! Her network and her knowledge are quite impressive. I'm so glad we had the chance to have Barb help us and can really recommend her service. She's not only a fantastic doula, she's also a wonderful person.
I would generally describe myself as strong, driven, and assertive. However, due to past circumstances in my journey to start a family, I knew that I needed someone who could be all of those things for me if I was unable. I needed an additional advocate. I needed someone who would get to know me, my husband, our struggles, and our vision for the type of birth we wanted and serve as a mentor, educator and coach. Barb is all of those things and more. I am so thankful we had her by our side throughout my pregnancy and birth. I cannot recommend her enough.
I cannot express the blessing it was to have Barb for our birth! We had a lot of changes to our birth plan constantly (COVID), and Barb flew with them seamlessly. We used Barb as a doula, took her class, and had her encapsule my placenta. Every one of these was an amazing experience! Barb is super laid back, but will help you take charge and make decisions or encourage you strongly if that’s what you need. My husband and I thought it was amazing how she could do exactly what I needed without my needing to speak. Her presence was so needed, and we can’t wait to use her services again with our second baby. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends and family!
