Doula Heidi - Choices In Childbirth I love it when moms get the labor and birth they hope for - or even better than they hope for. Christy had a lovely 2nd birth lasting only 5 hours from first contraction to the arrival of baby girl Violet! Beautiful!

Holly McDermot Heidi helped me have a wonderful birth experience! I was able to have my baby totally naturally without interventions. I would never want to give birth without a doula now!

Thanks to Heidi, I was able to have a positive and wonderful birth experience. We wanted to have a 'natural' birth experience and this was only achieved by having Heidi's support throughout my labor. When the doctors wanted to start 'intervening', Heidi was able to help us negotiate a way to proceed without interventio...n. Sophie was born in the amniotic sack and given 10/10 for her apgar score (the RN had never given that score before) - both of these feats were achieved because she was delivered naturally.Read More

Doula Heidi - Choices In Childbirth Another of my favorite organizations. Water birth is a beautiful experience.

“It was absolutely amazing. After getting in the water he was born in 2 hours, not once did I feel the need for any other form of pain relief. Baby was so calm, no crying, he just looked around wide eyed taking everything in.”
