What families say
After the doula we initially hired became ill and was not able to attend my birth, Alissa stepped in at the last minute, and I could not be more grateful! Despite it being last minute, she educated herself on my birth plan and desires and advocated for me and my daughter throughout the entire labor and delivery…
To say that I’m thankful for Alissa being part of the pregnancies, births, and postpartum of my two sons feels like an understatement. She wasn’t just helpful, she was absolutely vital during both of my labors and deliveries, and I truly don’t know how I would have made it through without her.
From the very beginning, my husband and I felt so supported and reassured working with Alissa at Labor and Latch. As first-time parents, we had so many questions and uncertainties, but Alissa’s knowledge and calm, caring presence immediately put us at ease.
When people say the care team meant to be at your birth are the ones who end up there, I truly believe it. We were so lucky to find Alissa last minute after deciding to have a doula for our son’s birth, and she absolutely made our labor, delivery, and postpartum experience.
