“Prior to preparing the arrival of our baby boy I had no idea what a doula was. I didn’t even know how to spell it! Through some education on the topic, it seemed like a no-brainer that having a doula around for the birth and first couple weeks would be beneficial to our story. Allison came to our attention through my wife and after having a consultation with her about our birth plan, we hired her. I cannot stress enough how important it was to have Allison around for her support, her encouragement, her steadiness and even her practical help. Allison has a natural gift for being understanding and compassionate, something that I benefitted from incredibly. As a new Dad, it was very easy to internalize my stress so that it wouldn’t affect my wife, despite foreseeable future anxiety. Having Allison available to talk through and explain what was normal with a newborn helped tremendously. Allison was also a great resource to my wife post patron who was going through something I could never understand. I would HIGHLY recommend Allison as your doula!”
