Client testimonials

“After interviewing a few doulas, I chose Caroline because of how I felt around her: calm, held, seen, witnessed, and attuned to. Her quality of presence is truly remarkable. She embodies the deep wisdom of a person that lovingly tends their own internal landscape, providing from a place of depth, calm, and generosity. Throughout our prenatals she consistently exceeded any expectations I had for a doula through her offerings. I looked forward to the nourishment of each visit and by the time of the birth, our relationship had developed into that of an invaluable member of our birth team. She communicated impeccably throughout the process, and during the on-call window was so supportive, available, and reassuring. At the birth she held the most beautiful container, tracking and honoring our wishes, maintaining the boundaries of our safe space, and being the overall energy tender of the experience. Our midwife commented how impressed she was by Caroline, having not yet worked with her. We are so deeply grateful for Caroline, not only for what she cocreated in our birth space, but for the beautiful work she is doing in the world.”

“Caroline showed up intentionally for my family with a calm energy and many creative offerings - including a poetic retelling of my birth story, a relaxing somatic experience and even warm meals postpartum. We were very happy to have Caroline as part of our team!”
