What families say
It is hard to put into words just how amazing it was to have Alyssa as our birth doula for the birth of my first child. Alyssa was incredibly supportive throughout my pregnancy and helped my husband and I to feel educated and prepared for delivery.
The Garnet Heart ❤️ Support for self advocacy during pregnancy, labor, and delivery (how to discuss and stick up for yourself and your baby to doctors and nurses). I myself work with so many mothers who have bad birth experiences. Doctors who don't even tell you what is going on with your pregnancy.
Alyssa was our doula for the birth of our first child this past November. She is amazing. During the two pregnancy visits she went over all of the options for birth, helped us create a birth plan, and taught us methods for making labor more manageable at home (she has SO MANY different tools and strategies for this)!
Our experience with Alyssa was truly exceptional. From the start, drawing from her wealth of experience, she set realistic expectations about our hospital system in Boston. Her attentive communication was a constant source of comfort throughout our journey.
