“I can’t say enough good things about Mandie. She was with us every step of the way guiding us through our birth plan, during the birth and continued to check in through our postpartum. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, kind, down to earth, calm, and just a wonderful person. My husband was hesitate to get a doula but after our birth his words were - “I don’t know how anyone does this with out one (doula)”. I’ll edit this to say I don’t know how anyone does go through this without Mandie! I was very nervous as a first time mom but with her help I went in feeling confident rather than anxious.”

-Allison T.

“Mandie did a phenomenal job as my doula for my first pregnancy and birth. Her suggestions were so helpful throughout my pregnancy and when I had to be on a more restrictive diet she sent me many recipes. Her advice and encouragement for nursing was very helpful! As was just her overall advice and tips she's learned about newborns. Some of her words still come to mind. She is a wealth of information and overall just a great person to have by your side through an incredible journey like motherhood.”

-Katie S.

“Mandie is such a gem! She has the kindest heart and truly wants what’s best for you as a mom and woman regarding your birth plan. She helped give me confidence for both of my births and I highly recommend having her to be there for any support you need!”

-E.W.

“Working with Mandie was a great experience. She was very helpful with lactation support and with helping me get a better idea of what to expect. I really appreciated her being at the birth to document it and support my husband and I. We also loved the meal she made us, it was delicious and she catered to my allergies. It was a wonderful experience overall.”
-Olivia H.

“Mandie was awesome! She talked me through my IVF transfer and was there for me 100%. My husband was unable to accompany me due to Covid and he also wasn’t able to travel with me as well. She was a great shoulder to have while I was going through the entire procedure!!”
-Astin M.

“Mandie is an outstanding professional! She is extremely knowledgeable, committed to communicating at a high level, and knows how to coach her clients to be successful. If you are thinking about using a Doula, Mandie is the Doula for you!”
- Blake S.

“We used Mandie’s Pocket Doula Care Service. Mandie provided outstanding support to our family. Highly recommend.”
- Brian O.

“Mandie was amazing at helping my husband and myself during labor. He had no idea what to do and she was such a confident support person for us. She kept us focused and relaxed and we welcomed a beautiful baby boy into this world. She made us a great meal and allowed my husband and I to get some rest a few days after delivery. I was struggling with latching my baby and she was so helpful with that too! I’m so glad we hired her, I could not have done it without her!”
— Pam F.

“I definitely underestimated how hard it would be adjusting to the transition of motherhood, but with Mandie’s help, I was able to get in some rest, bond with my sweet girl and fully give into becoming a mom.”
— Melanie H.

“I was fortunate enough to meet Mandie through our neighborhood FB page.  I had recently moved to the state from across the country and pregnant with my first child – and the world had shut down due to COVID.  We connected through my post asking about nannying/daycares and she was interested in watching my baby after she was born.  Instantly, I was overwhelmed by Mandie’s kindness, grace and knowledge.  She had just given birth to her own daughter and any question or fear I mentioned to her she eased with her own experience and scientific research to back it up.  She gave me the confidence to advocate for myself during my birth in a pandemic, since one of my greatest fears was possibly testing positive for COVID and having the hospital separate me from my baby.    

“Postpartum posed a few challenges for me as a first time mom navigating breastfeeding without much family support.  Many people I reached out to simply suggested offering formula instead of listening to my issues and just helping restore my confidence.  Mandie was there for me as my friend and constantly offered support and understanding.  She would send me links to videos and graphics depicting different breastfeeding holds, as well as the benefits to breastmilk that I could share with family members so they could understand why I wanted to breastfeed as much as possible.  

Again, being alone after having a baby while all family and friends are across the country was difficult.  Mandie was so kind enough to come over to my house a few times just to sit with me and chat.  I can’t even describe how meaningful that was that she would pack up all of her daughter’s toys, diaper bag, etc. just to come over for a couple hours and sit with me.  She even dropped off a meal for my husband and I the first week home from the hospital – cheesecake and all!

Every mom deserves and needs a support system and Mandie is by far one of the greatest supporters you could have along this journey!”
— Emily S.

“Pregnancy has a lot of unknowns and having someone to be your sounding board is so helpful! I would highly recommend getting a doula! Mandie is passionate about birth, postpartum and fighting for the experience that you desire. Your job should be to focus on you and baby. Mandie will be there to help educate and cheer you on in whatever manner is helpful.”
