Testimonials

"Misty was attentive and easy to contact with questions. She was really perceptive about our dynamic as a couple and my needs during labor. She is really good at her job! We felt the monetary investment we made we got back in terms of email support during pregnancy, her constant presence during and after labor and our conversations during prenatals and our postpartum visit. I can't wait to recommend Misty to my friends!"

Jennifer, mother of Russell

"Shortly after finding out I was pregnant with our third child, my husband and I got news of another upcoming deployment. Looking at the calendar we quickly realized he would be gone for the birth of our son. Despite knowing this could happen, I still felt uneasy about how I would do without my husband there to support and coach me through my labor. Misty was committed to me and my pregnancy and ultimately committed to helping my husband from afar. It was reassuring to know she would be by my side when my husband would not be able to. Although my husband was halfway around the world, Misty was able to talk with him and include him in the process of labor via Skype. Misty was an incredible coach- she was encouraging and energizing while also being calming and comforting. She kept me focused as I made my way through another completely natural delivery. I am so thankful for Misty and the support she gave us. She truly went above and beyond for my family. She will always be special to us since she shared in the adventure of welcoming our precious boy into the world."

"We interviewed a few doulas in the area, but clicked with Misty right away. She was very involved in our pregnancy and labor from the start, introducing us to The Bradley Method and even attending a few of our Bradley Classes with us. During our prenatal meetings Misty covered all the details we forgot to discuss and ensured that we were as prepared as possible. Once labor started it instantly became clear to us how advantageous her services really are. She was there through every step of the birthing process, providing constant support to me. My husband and I took the Bradley Courses and knew what to expect, but my labor didn't exactly follow any sort of plan or progress as quick as we would have liked. When going through that much pain, it was comforting to have Misty present, as a woman who has experienced childbirth herself. Misty knew immediately based on how I was sitting and what I was saying what I needed. I didn't have to ask her anything- she was always just there, doing exactly what I needed, when I needed it the most.  Since the birth of our son, she continues to be an excellent resource,  providing countless answers to newborn care. Most importantly, she was able to provide us with what we desired most: a natural childbirth and profound experience of welcoming our son into the world. Even after having been through labor and attending childbirth classes, I will undoubtedly have Misty at all my future births."

Jenny, mother of Elias

"As prepared as a first time father thinks he can be, things will come up that we don't understand or don't know how to handle. Having Misty for a source of knowledge at your right hand is as vital as a car seat to take your child home in."

Aaron, father of Elias

"When we found out we were pregnant, we had no idea what a doula was. I was given a business card for Divine Doula by a friend. Then we found out we were having twins, and with this exciting news we decided to give Misty a call. We wanted our birth experience to meet all of our expectations and with twins we felt like we really needed the additional support. As first time parents, we didn't know where to start. What I liked about having Misty available is that she helped us educate ourselves and reminded me at every doctor appointment to ask lots of questions, and would help me with what questions to ask when needed. Her reminding me to ask questions helped give me a better understanding of why the doctor was making certain recommendations throughout my pregnancy. As it turns out, we were unable to have a natural childbirth due to both of the babies being breech. Yes, it is possible for a woman to deliver twin breech babies, but after educating ourselves on c-sections and asking questions about breech births we chose to have a c-section. Misty was there to support and educate us along this path.  When our big day come, Misty was there at the hospital at 6am. I especially enjoyed all her support that day. After the babies were born Misty was in the OR holding my hand while my husband went with the babies. Misty made sure my requests for the day were carried out. She also encouraged me to make a birth plan even though I was having a c-section, and I am so thankful she did! Misty was instrumental in helping with the initial breastfeeding and it was nice to have the guidance and encouragment. Misty went above and beyond our expectations of a doula. We were able to make the best of our birth experience, even though it was not what we initially anticipated. I would love to have Misty as our doula again if we decide to have more children. "

"I was asked by a friend if I would like a doula for the birth of my daughter. I wasn't sure initially since I didn't know a lot about it. We met with Misty and I instantly thought she would be the perfect fit for me.  Little did I know she would be a life saver! I have a fusion in my back and lots of pain associated with it. I was told by the medical field that an epidural would be the only way for me because of the chronic pain. The epidural was done incorrectly and I ended up having my baby naturally! Since my husband and I were totally unprepared we did not know how to handle things. Misty was invaluable to me and helped me get through the birthing experience. I would recommend her services to anyone!

Missy, mother of Paige

"We worked with Misty on the birth of our third child. After going through the birth of our second child with little to no support from the nurses and doctors at the hospital we decided that we wanted to be more in control of what was going on during the birth of our third child. Misty was very knowledgeable and helped us come up with a birth plan that suited our individual needs. During the birth process Misty helped my husband and I stay focused admist the chaos going on around us. We are happy to say that with the help of Misty we were able to achieve the birth that we had been hoping for-a drug free delivery with a happy, healthy baby.

Patti, mother of Noah

"Misty was our doula for the birth of our first baby, Luke. Her support was invaluable! Misty helped us in the weeks before to come up with a birth plan. She had lots of great advice and suggestions unique to our situation. She was very dedicated to making sure we had the natural birth experience my husband and I were hoping for. My labor was long, and Misty (who was also pregnant at the time) was there being helpful and supportive the entire time. We would recommend her to anyone, and would choose her again if we have another child."

Lori, mother of Luke

"I wasn't sure I needed a doula. At the encouragment of close friends, I interviewed a few doulas in my area. I met Misty and clicked with her instantly. She helped educate my husband and I on the basics of childbirth and newborn care. While I was in labor, Misty dedicated her entire day to my husband and I. Labor was slow to progress. Finally, after 36 hours, our beautiful son was born. Misty was absolutely amazing! She helped me focus through contractions and kept me motivated even though I was exhausted. Misty walked us through numerous challenges and stayed by my side the entire time. My husband is eternally grateful for Misty's presence and encouragement. Every first time Mom definitely needs a doula! Thanks for everything, Misty!"
