What families say

Having Transforming Births be a part of our first pregnancy and birthing journey was the best decision my husband and I made. From our first interaction with Cherilynn, we immediately knew we were in good hands. You can just tell from her heartwarming energy that she was made for this and genuinely loves doing it.

Update: had Cherilynn for the birth of our second and had another wonderful experience!!!! Had a wonderful experience with Cherilynn as my doula! I never knew it was possible to have a great birth experience and actually WANT to do it again!

★★★★★ — Lindsay, 2025-10

Cherilynn was the exact support i needed. I was going for a VBAC and was arriving at full term and not wanting induction but my provider was recommending it. She encouraged me to follow my gut and i did.

★★★★★ — Maranda, 2023-08

Cherilynn is an absolute JOY to have present at your birth. She will make sure you feel comfortable at every stage of birth and in preparation beforehand, to be an advocate for what you want and to help express those things, and make sure you feel supported to the very best of her abilities.
