“We cannot express how grateful we are for Carole and the incredible support she provided throughout our pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey. From the very first meeting, she exuded warmth, kindness, and genuine compassion. She was always there to listen, offering thoughtful advice and reassurance whenever we felt uncertain or overwhelmed. Carole provided us with so many helpful resources and was always willing to meet up for tea, lunch, and even a walk with our dog! During labor, Carole was an absolute rock, creating a calm and supportive environment that helped me and my partner feel empowered and in control. Her presence was soothing, and she knew exactly how to provide both physical and emotional support at every stage of the process. We had a beautiful birth at the birth center and it would not have been possible if it wasn’t for Carole! We trusted her completely with our care, knowing she always had our best interest at heart and would follow our wishes to ensure the experience was aligned with our needs and values. After the birth, Carole has continued to be a vital part of recovery and transition into motherhood. Her compassionate care, gentle encouragement, and wealth of knowledge has made all the difference as we navigate the postpartum period. Carole has checked in regularly and she is always there to offer countless love and support. We seriously couldn’t have asked for a more compassionate, dedicated, and supportive doula. If you're looking for someone who truly cares and will go above and beyond to support you through every step of this life-changing experience, we cannot recommend Carole enough. She was an invaluable part of our journey, and we will forever be grateful for her kindness and expertise.”

“From the moment I met Carole, I knew she was something special. During our initial interview, she said something that resonated so deeply with me: 'I will only take up as much space as you allow me to.' That simple statement spoke volumes about her respect for my autonomy and her commitment to supporting MY birth experience, not imposing her own. And she lived up to that promise, and then some. Throughout the final weeks of my pregnancy, Carole was a constant, gentle presence. Her regular check-ins were a lifeline, a reassuring reminder that I wasn't alone. When I was overwhelmed with questions about inducing labor naturally, she didn't just offer opinions; she provided thoughtful suggestions backed by thorough research. She empowered me with knowledge, allowing me to make informed decisions that felt right for me. When labor finally began, Carole was nothing short of extraordinary. She arrived at a moment's notice, her calm and steady presence immediately transforming the atmosphere. When I was in active labor, she possessed an uncanny ability to anticipate my needs, to know exactly when to offer a comforting word, a gentle touch, or simply silent support. She was a pillar of strength, a grounding force, and an unwavering advocate. More than anything, Carole understood the delicate balance of being present and being supportive without being intrusive. She truly honored my space, allowing me to navigate the intensity of labor with dignity and grace. She was the perfect blend of strength and tenderness, knowledge and intuition. For anyone seeking a doula who will truly listen, respect, and empower you, I cannot recommend Carole highly enough. She helped bring my child into the world with such love and care, and for that, I will be forever grateful.”

“Carole's support before, during, and after the birth of our daughter was a true gift. I said on several occasions to anybody who would listen how lucky we were to have her as our doula. As someone who was skeptical of how a doula might benefit him, my husband has since stated several times how supportive she was for his role in pregnancy and birth as well. For me, Carole's thoughtful, calming, and supportive presence was something I relied on during moments of prenatal care as well as during labor and birth itself. With all of the twists and turns that pregnancy can take, having Carole by my side was invaluable. Carole somehow was able to make herself feel like a combination of an old friend and a wise mentor, and I know that my birth experience would not have been the same without her.”

“Carole was the perfect teammate during the birth of our first son at Seven Sisters Birth Center. In our meetings before labor, she provided detailed questionnaires for us to review together so we were all on the same page about birth preferences and how she could best support me and my partner. We walked through many different possibilities and she answered our questions to help us feel more comfortable and confident. During labor, she filled all of the gaps we didn't know would be there and was a gentle, calming, and encouraging presence. The cool washcloths, sips of Gatorade, hand to hold, and words of encouragement helped us through the toughest moments. She also took some incredible photos during labor and after the birth that we will cherish forever.”

“Carole is an extremely compassionate person which enables her to be a very dedicated, supportive, and effective Doula during the prenatal, labor and birth periods. She went above and beyond to give us dedicated prenatal support time. I appreciated her well-rounded approach to maternity care and her acceptance of all different birth preferences including epidurals and other forms of pain management. When my birth plans changed drastically, she was there for my partner and I all the way and we are very thankful for her care. We also have many lovely videos, and photos thanks to Carole taking the time to do this for us following the birth of our baby- we were too preoccupied with everything going on at the time and having this documentation of the experience is priceless! My husband and I highly recommend her as a doula that approaches birth as a fluid, challenging, painful, empowering, ever-changing, and beautiful process.”

“From our first meeting, Carole was a calm, steady, thoughtful member of my birth team. She is an excellent listener and communicator, and I felt seen and heard in my desires for my child's birth. Carole provided spot-on resources as I was preparing for labor. She was also able to provide emotional support to my partner both before and during the birth. During labor (my first), Carole deftly navigated supporting me alongside my partner and good friend, and I have strong memories of her calm voice giving suggestions and encouragements as I did the work of getting my baby out. I am so grateful for her wonderful care!”
