What families say

We couldn’t have asked for or imagined a better doula than Tallina. From the moment we met her, we knew that she was special, and we’re so grateful to have received the amazing support she provided during the pregnancy and birth of our son.

It’s hard to know where to start with our experience with Giselle. I can’t speak highly enough of her…! We had partnered with her for the birth of our second after having a doula present with the birth of our first 5 years ago in a different state.

★★★★★ — Caitlin, 2026-01

When our pre-birth educational instructor recommended everyone look into doulas, we reached out to Birth First Doulas. We spoke with Rebecca Durlin Smith, who welcomed our call with a friendly, pressure free, intro to the benefits of having a doula throughout the many stages of childbirth.
