I hired Mari to be my doula and it was one of the best choices I made as I was preparing for my baby to be born. I felt supported by Mari throughout my pregnancy and could ask her for help whenever I had questions. When it came time for birth, I ended up needing an induction and she was so helpful when it came to easing my nerves about the process and understanding what was going to happen leading up to my appointment. It helped that I was able to have a super relaxing induction massage from her too. And while at the hospital I felt totally supported by Mari which gave my husband the time to focus on me and my comfort. The birthing playlist that Mari provided for us was perfect for my family and helped make laboring more fun since we had music to dance to in between contractions. Mari really knows how to set the vibe in the L&D room to make it the most comfortable for her clients 🥰 10/10 recommend hiring Mari to be your doula

Mari was my doula for my first birth and she was great. She always made my husband and I feel comfortable. She helped us prepare for our birth and made me feel comfortable and not judged with every decision I made along the way. She was the best support person and was a champ and stayed the hospital for over 20 hours while I labored until my baby made his entrance. An experience my husband and I are grateful to look back and have her be apart of. She helped prepare us for not just labor and delivery but postpartum and asked great questions to get us thinking about things we had not yet considered to help better prepare us. I’m so grateful. Thank you Mari.

Mari is the mental and emotional Sherpa we needed. Like most expecting parents we were excited and nervous for the journey that awaited us. Hiring Mari was the peace of mind I needed to be a strong and successful partner in the child birthing process. Mari gave us the tools and strategies we needed to go in the delivery room with confidence and when everything went out the window she pivoted with us. Although we did not have the birth we intended, Mari helped us every step of the way. One of the most valuable resources from Mari’s services is her communication and being able to ask any questions at any time.

I’ve had the privilege of experiencing doula services as well as massage and I could not recommend Mari more!

She is knowledgeable, approachable, and meets you where you are. I felt support throughout my prenatal journey, labor and birth, and continue to feel supported in postpartum - physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Not only did she provide comprehensive assistance through doula services and massage therapy, but also continues to keep me connected to resources and other local supports. She also has a variety of offerings, catered to the client and includes a sliding scale for pricing, making services accessible. Mari truly takes a holistic approach to care.

I am excited to continue my journey with Mari.

I felt cared for in a way my others in my life weren't able to provide, by someone with the specificity of knowledge around the pregnant body for the massages and the birthing experience overall. Having you at the birth was amazing as it helped make it feel more like a normalized part of life instead of a medical incident to endure.

Pre-birth meeting was helpful to get the birth plan sorted before heading to the hospital. You showing all the tools and extra aids you bring was nice to see you’re clearly prepared. In the lead up, the massages for [her] were helpful. For the on-call time, super helpful you were able to respond and be there quickly, and helped throughout the night helping [her] remain comfortable with positioning,the pain management and just being there for while I got some rest before the chaos after the baby was born.

This was my first child and the postpartum season was nerve racking for me, Mari helped me feel supported and cared for during this tough season. She went above and beyond in offering ways to support me… My favorite part was her in-home visits where she massaged me while I held and cared for my baby on the table, it was a beautiful thing to share with my newborn and helped me get some relief in areas of my body that really needed it… If you choose to hire Mari, you will gain a knowledgeable, compassionate, and passionate support person during a season where the mother isn’t always put first.

I was on the fence about getting a doula, but I felt very at ease during our first massage session I had a sense that you would help me to feel supported and comfortable during birth. The experience and familiarity with massage and healing touch wasn't something I considered prior to working with you as a doula, but was definitely an advantage.
