WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"I had a wonderful experience with BWS Doulas!"
We took their evidence based birthing class about 5 months prior to giving birth. We were also matched with our doula, Debbie, who was INCREDIBLE throughout the entire pregnancy and birthing experience. She was supportive and very well educated (she was a nurse midwife for 30+ years before retiring) and we were so glad to have her there at the hospital with us during the entire birthing process. I could not have labored for 25 hours without her! Grateful to have worked with such a great agency and doula for what ended up being a more difficult birth than intended.

"We had such an amazing experience with Chanel and BWS Agency. "
We are so thankful that we had the opportunity to work with someone so knowledgeable and caring. Chanel was the perfect asset to our birth and helped significantly with pain management and helped us advocate for my needs and wants during labor. She met with us to go over our goals during pregnancy, and I never felt any shame when my goals shifted during labor. After delivery, she stayed with us until we were settled in our room. She not only supported me, but my partner as well throughout the entire process. I felt fully confident and in control during the process and I attribute that to the pre work we did through her support. We cannot recommend Chanel and BWS enough and we would love to have her be present in future pregnancies.

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Courtney was an incredible support to me throughout every step of my pregnancy and birth."
She helped me understand how to care for my body and prepare for the work that was ahead of me. I knew I could count on her for help, guidance and encouragement at any time. She walked with me through my labor, helping me physically, mentally, and spiritually as I accomplished the birth of my dreams. When I was scared, she was steady. When I was unsure, she was unwavering. When I said I could not do it, she reassured me that I could and I would. I cannot recommend her enough to be your doula, advocate, coach, cheerleader, and friend in your pregnancy journey!

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"I cannot say enough about how much BWS Doulas and April in particular impacted my pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences."
April is a skilled communicator who helped my husband and I communicate with each other, ourselves, and our medical team about our values and priorities. Her presence is calming, playful, energetic, and contemplative, all in the appropriate moments. She was comfortable identifying and approaching the topics that made us uncomfortable and encouraged us to open up as we prepared for the birth. Because of our work together, I entered labor with a sense of excitement rather than dread and never felt afraid.
Julia Coltri Barton
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"April was so incredibly supportive from the very start of my journey helping me with figuring out some issues I was dealing with in pregnancy"
With some dietary advice, bodywork to get baby to turn, and being there for me during a week of prodromal labor. She came TO my house and helped me to relax after some long days of prodromal labor. I felt heard and supported and she gave me very practical advice to leaning into the contractions. When it was finally time to get to the hospital, she was there with me through it all, and I truly felt like I had the best team beside me, to get me through every last contraction for the most beautiful birth, that was the redeeming experience I prayed for. 🤍

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"Jodi at BWS Doulas was so helpful and I was so thankful to have her as my doula for the birth of my first child this past November! "
She is extremely knowledgeable on all things pregnancy, birth, how the hospital works, etc. I felt much more confident going into labor knowing I had her on my side. She helped my husband also, in showing him some techniques he could do to help me with the pain of contractions. Jodi is so sweet and kind and has a presence that makes you feel calm during labor. She also stopped by a few weeks after I had my son to check in and helped with some lactation tips. I would definitely recommend Jodi at BWS Doulas to anyone who wants a knowledgeable experienced doula! She has so many resources and connections as well for all things pregnancy prep, lactation support, postpartum support, etc.
