I worked with Hilary during the birth of my first child in September 2020. She met with me and partner before the birth to understand our priorities and goals during labor as well as providing a good amount of education and suggestions based on our conversations. In the weeks leading up to labor, she was attentive and helpful with recommendations around increasing late pregnancy comfort. We felt as prepared as we could be by the time we got to the labor, although I'm not sure anything fully prepares you for that experience! She was a great support during labor and delivery, and checked in on us in the first few days postpartum to make sure we were doing okay transitioning home. We also worked with her for 10 weeks postpartum and she helped with childcare so I could sleep, dishes, laundry, and made sure we got out for walks as often as possible. She was a great help and I definitely plan to work with her again for my second child (eventually!).

We used Hilary as both our birth doula and for post-partum support. Hilary was incredibly easy to work with and made pregnancy, birth and recovery in a pandemic so much easier for us. From the very first email, I felt comfortable with Hilary. She was responsive and informative without any judgment about our birth plan or choices. Hilary provided me with much needed education and confidence and allowed me to advocate for myself throughout my pregnancy. Hilary helped me feel comfortable with the induction process and was in constant communication until she arrived at the hospital. Hilary helped us create the best possible environment for labor and delivery and worked seamlessly with the L&D nurse and my partner to support me. Just as Hilary was incredibly valuable leading up to birth and throughout the labor and delivery process, she was just as critical to helping me have a healthy post-partum recovery. Hilary knew exactly how to support us as we navigated the hazy newborn days. She provided emotional support and helped with all of the mundane tasks like getting the dishes done and sorting baby clothes. Hilary is a wealth of knowledge about newborn care and early breastfeeding challenges. Most importantly, Hilary has incredible intuition into what would be helpful for brand new parents and she made our transition to parenthood as smooth as possible. I cannot imagine navigating this journey without Hilary and I am so grateful to the support she provided.

One of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life was choosing Hilary to be my doula. It’s hard to put into words how impactful she was in so many areas of my pregnancy and birth experience. From our first meeting, I could tell she was a smart, caring, encouraging woman and instantly made me feel comfortable. She helped us prepare for the birth of our baby, and also just got to know us as people and as a couple, which felt so important too. Anytime I had a question, she was always there to help, and just supported me as I approached my due date. When I started early labor, she was in constant contact with my husband, which he said was incredibly helpful. I told her I wanted a “mom type” comfort during labor, and she did exactly that. She was my cheerleader when I thought I couldn’t go on, my comforter when I felt overwhelmed, and my advocate when I needed help making decisions or making requests. She was so selfless during the entire experience. As labor went on into night, Hilary kept me going when I truly thought I couldn’t. She knew how to give the perfect balance of encouragement with a little bit of push that I needed without being overbearing. Both my husband and I still say to this day that choosing Hilary as our doula was worth more than we ever could have imagined. She will always be so special to our family, and we are so grateful for her!

Hilary was a wonderful resource throughout my pregnancy and a great support during my unexpected c-section. As first time parents, it was a great relief to my husband and I to know that she was there to answer questions and help us think through our birth plan. And when our baby had different plans, Hilary was right there with us, in the middle of the night, even though it was 3 weeks ahead of my due date. She continues to provide caring, nonjudgmental support for us post-partum. She is a thoughtful, well-informed doula with a calming, reassuring presence. Hilary is fantastic and I strongly recommend her!

Each birth experience is different and usually involves unexpected decisions and changes along the way. Having Hilary there as a guide as those changes came up was incredibly helpful to my husband and me. She accompanied us with patience, grace, and humor for more than 34 hours of labor. She is knowledgeable, professional, humble, respectful, passionate, and reliable; she made such a connection within the first two meetings that felt we had known her for ages. Hilary is a fantastic doula, and I highly recommend her.
