Client Stories
Mindy was an invaluable resource towards my husband and I as we muddled through our first
pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period. Her support and willingness to calm our fears and
support our desires for the birth experience gave us the most amazing experience for our first
little miracle.
My second pregnancy was vastly different from my first as I managed a toddler and my growing
pregnancy. I sought support and received more than I could have asked for. Half way through
my pregnancy I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition which lead me to have a level of
exhaustion that created an unsafe environment for both myself and my toddler. Mindy guided
me through finding my support network and asking for help. Her patience and compassion was
incredible. The labor and birth was also more difficult than my first. I had false labour then 24
hrs later my water broke and labor started. Mindy's support and knowledge was instrumental in
me being able to continue with my wish for a drug free birth. Early in the process I knew
something was different. The intensity of contractions was increasing but I was not dilating and
the pain and pressure in my tailbone was crippling. Mindy provided encouragement to keep me
moving and back pressure and massage to aid in the pain. She also advocated for me with my
nurse who refused to listen to me. She stayed present through the hours of struggle and help
me to follow a positioning routine to move my daughter off my tail bone which triggered a rapid
progression to delivery. I was scared and exhausted when time came and it was to fast for my
doctor to arrive so the new intern was pushed to deliver my baby. My legs were cramping and I
could not support them, Mindy organized my husband and other support person to help with my
legs while she calmed me, helped me to not focus on the scared intern, and guided me through
bringing my daughter into the world. With out Mindy's support and advocacy this would have
been a far more traumatic experience and would have likely resulted in a c-section delivery and
longer recovery.
Mindy supported me through my third pregnancy, helping me navigate the appointments and
advocating to make sure I had all the right information from my doctor. She then guided me
through my most physically traumatic delivery. She was my sole support and did it with grace
and professional care. The doctor had to break my water when I was 3cm dilated and in the
process I had a small cord prolapse which he re-inserted. In doing so he discovered the cord
around my baby's neck. He instructed me to breath and relax which Mindy guided me through.
The next thing I knew the doctor had both hands in side me to stretch me and he was pulling out
my baby to get the cord off her neck. I only managed to stay calm and cope due to Mindy's
support. The baby was safe, I had many stitches, and more pain than I had with previous birth.
Mindy's postpartum support made my family's experience a positive one.

Mindy's dedication as a doula is truly remarkable. Her expertise and compassionate approach instilled a sense of security during my pregnancy. Mindy maintained a professional demeanor while embracing my unique values, making me feel like a cherished member of her family. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking support during this special time.
