What my clients say.

“Trina was an absolute angel to have by my side as I conquered the labor and delivery of my son earlier this year. She was altogether confident, reassuring, calming, and attentive to what I wanted and needed. I had severe back labor and it was so helpful to have her applying pressure and massage during contractions and suggest different positions for comfort, as well as guiding my husband to assist me in the best ways possible. She was there by my side through all of my pain and the messiness of birth and I look back with such gratitude and relief that she was a part of bringing my son into the world!”

“Having Trina present during my labor brought me nothing but much needed peace, courage and knowledge about the decisions I was making throughout the process. Since she has had so much experience with her own at home births, and all the research that she had done leading up to each of her births, she was able to be the calm voice of reason in the midst of my own labor. I would highly recommend having Trina as your Birth Doula, as her support and sweet spirit will give you the strength you need.”

“Whenever I thought of birth I always pictured me and my husband at home having the most calm, intimate, and spiritual experience ... I sent Trina a message hoping to learn more about her service as a doula. From the first phone call I knew it was meant to be that our paths crossed. ... She had amazing massaging skills that helped me relax and helped with the contraction pain as well, she also showed my husband how to help ... Trina was right there guiding me the whole time and really gave me peace and comfort- she was the emotional/mental/physical help... I highly highly recommend hiring a doula at your birth whether it be a home birth, birthing center, or hospital birth, and I especially recommend hiring Trina.”

“I was blessed to partner with Trina as my doula for the birth of my daughter, Daphne. Trina was professional and respectful, but laid back and easy to talk to. She asked great questions during our pre-birth chats, and seemed genuinely concerned that my needs were met and I received quality care and support during my birth. Trina checked in consistently as my due date approached to offer encouragement and advice to help me prepare mentally and physically. When I went into labor things progressed rapidly - it was a short and intense birth. Trina made it to my house quickly, snuck in quietly, and supported me precisely as I hoped she would. Having her there to coach me truly helped me to stay calm and focused when I was feeling overwhelmed. Trina stayed after the birth to make sure we were settled in, and diligently checked in on our family afterwards to confirm that we were receiving the care we needed in those first days with our new baby. I really enjoyed having Trina on our birth team, would confidently recommend her to any woman looking for knowledgeable and compassionate doula care!”

“Trina was warm, kind, and calm, and a lovely addition to my birth support team. She held space for both me and my husband to discuss our hopes and fears about my birth with her, and offered her understanding and reassurance. Trina was willing to help support us however we needed her in the moment- whether that was watching our 2-year-old, or staying at my side during labor. She's also experienced a variety of births herself, so was able to relate to our first experience in the hospital, and second experience at home. I also appreciated that she took the time to meet me at a park for a playdate before I hired her. It's so nice to get together in person to make sure the connection feels good for something so intimate! I'd highly recommend her. :) My husband appreciated having another support person available to us, not only to support me, but to also support him, as he was a bit concerned about possibly having another problem or hospital transfer in our second pregnancy. My husband's words: "She's calm and kind and gentle."‘“

‘‘Trina was such a wonderful doula both leading up to and during my labour and baby's delivery. She's incredibly warm-hearted and personable and knows exactly how to match the energy in the room. During our visits, it felt like I was hanging out with a friend and it was was so easy to feel comfortable with her. She made my husband and I feel much more prepared for the experience by walking us through what we could expect, and she paid particular attention to finding out my wants and needs around birth and made sure they were taken care of on the day of. She was always readily available via text and was very happy to research and send me things when I had questions about anything. On the day of itself, she was a rockstar with making sure I stayed comfortable and hydrated, including my husband in the process, and keeping the atmosphere relaxed. She even found time to take pictures on my phone throughout my labour (with my permission of course). Hiring her as my doula (aka birth fairy as I now think of her looking back) was the best decision I made for my birth experience and I highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking about having one at theirs!”
