Testimonials

“Toni is made to be a birth worker. I cannot recommend her enough--she is absolutely the main thing that got me through my unmedicated labor + delivery! Her attentiveness, intuition, knowledge and steadiness were deeply impactful from the first pre-birth meeting, to the most intense moments of my delivery, to the follow up appointments postpartum. Her skillset goes beyond knowledge of pregnancy and labor; she carries a peace and gentle confidence that pulled me through the most difficult moments of my birth. Her voice is the one I remember guiding me through contractions and positions, + her support for me postpartum has been a dear comfort. I never had to question if I could trust her or if she would be supportive amidst all the stages of labor. Toni is who you want there for the most vulnerable and raw and amazing experience of your life!!!” - Melissa

 

“Where do I begin? We had the pleasure of being Toni’s first birthing family, as this was our very first birth as well. Toni was the one, we recognized that even on our first visit! She has an inexplicable quality about her; in fact, she is more of an experience that words cannot adequately convey. Her demeanor exudes serenity, warmth, and relaxation. Her dual motherhood gave her the ability to assist my husband and I have a seamless delivery. Toni patiently sat down with us and went over all the postpartum essentials, including natural herbal teas, stretches, necessary supplies, and breathing exercises. I made certain to go the holistic route for my birth and Toni fit that description. But even though my husband, midwife, and birthing assistant were all present, God sent Toni to be by my side for the entire twenty-hour span. Without your frequent back squeezes, soothing massages, and words of encouragement, I could not have endured those contractions. Toni continues to provide and check in even after giving birth! I now emphasize to soon-to-be mothers the importance of hiring a doula. Toni, you have our undying love and gratitude.” - Shani
