Mariah helped me stay calm and collected, helped me breathe through the contractions, and showed me things to help manage the pain that I never would have known or even thought to try. I can't imagine having gone through labor with any other doula. Mariah was by my side the entire way and I swear, she made it feel easier than I ever imagined possible.

Mariah was able to quiet my anxiety effortlessly... and after our daughter was born, she was still my biggest cheerleader. She encouraged me to advocate for my desires and helped me feel calm and confident in my decision-making as a new mom.

Mariah was worth her weight in gold to my husband and I! She was enormously supportive during my pregnancy and during my birth. Mariah was calm, respectful, warm and re-assuring the entire time. She knew exactly when to step in and what to offer and worked seemlessly with the Midwives and staff at Swedish. During my C-Section she even told me fairy tales to help me stay calm--and it worked! We would recommend her in a heart-beat to anyone!

 (Mariah was) innately maternal and has a very calming presence. (She) was an advocate for me when everyone else in the room (myself included) was focused on the baby arriving.  It was good to have someone come over, hug you and say "all of this is very normal, you are doing great"; sometimes that's all you need to hear! ​

The birth of my beautiful baby boy was a very intense and crazy 13 hour ride, and I don't want to think about what it would have been like without Mariah there. She labored with me at home, and (helped me gain a) feeling like I could control some sensation on my body. Mariah, Ildi, and the midwife helped me process what happened in the days after the birth. I am so grateful to have had these ladies by my side leading up to birth, during labor, and throughout early postpartum. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

When my labor started, they were there on call, coaching me through over the phone until it was time to do it in person. I started laboring two days before my water broke and they were texting me tips and affirming messages that kept me calm, relaxed, and made me feel supported. Mariah was my doula when active labor really kicked in. She was there with us through the end helping us with laboring positions, reminding us both to rest and drink water, coaching me through pushing & breastfeeding, and helping us get more help when we needed it. I am not sure I would have delivered naturally without having had her support.
