What families say

We had always wanted doula support for our birth. We did lots of internet searching/review reading and Nightingale Doulas stood out to us. We had our initial meeting with Karen and immediately knew they would be a wonderful fit.

★★★★★ — Rachel, 2024-03

Karen and Michelle have been and are absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend them and would not think twice about hiring them again if we have another child.

★★★★★ — Brooke, 2024-02

I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Michelle and Karen. Their knowledge and compassion in the doula world is unmatched. They helped us through every stage of our second pregnancy and provided us with such great advice throughout.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, 2023-07

Choosing Nightingale Doulas was one of the best decisions for my labor and delivery! Michelle and Karen are both very compassionate and knowledgable in the work they do.
