Birth Doula Services
"Finding the right doula for my birthing experience was at the top of my to-do list once we found out we were expecting our first child. Having someone I could trust and connect with on a personal and spiritual level was key for me. I read through a ton of doula profiles but Bailey’s experience with hypnobirthing, acupressure and holistic healing practices is what stood out for me and I was determined to hire her as my doula. Bailey is extremely knowledgeable and never tried to impose her opinions on us. The birthing of our daughter was a partnership. Being a first time mom, with no idea of what to expect, she gave me all the confidence I needed to relax and labor at home and to deliver my baby safely (all natural) in the hospital. The birthing of my daughter will always be an experience I will never forget and I cannot thank Bailey enough for the advocacy and comfort she provided me and family before, during and after birth. I will forever be grateful for her services. Looking forward to working with her again for baby number two!"

Lactation Services
"Bailey's IBCLC visit was so helpful. Before our visit I was feeling very discouraged about breastfeeding. The latch was very painful and I thought I would need to start pumping and give a bottle. Not only did the latch improve during our visit but she also taught me new positions to have more freedom and be more comfortable while breastfeeding. After the session, I was able to keep the good latch going and I am proud to say I am happily exclusively breastfeeding thanks to Bailey." Sara

Postpartum Doula Services
We had the absolute privilege to have Bailey support our family as our postpartum doula. As a first-time mom I really had no idea what to expect when it came to recovery, breast feeding, or all the newness that comes with a newborn. Bailey made me feel calm and confident from the moment I met her. She has such an immense knowledge of postpartum: bonding, breastfeeding, sleep, recovery for mom, development, etc. Bailey helped me learn and listen to my intuition when it came to taking care of my newborn son. She was a true partner to me for those first 4-6 weeks. On top of helping me, she was so loving and caring with my newborn baby. Even at such a young age I could tell he loved being around her. I consider her a part of my son’s village of women who nurtured him. Our family is better, stronger, and more connected for having Bailey in our lives.
