If I ever get pregnant again I want Caela to be my pregnancy/birth/postpartum doula! Fresh into being a new mother, I’m realizing everyday how hard it it’s to be a mom AND full time newborn caregiver. A challenge I’m facing entering motherhood is doing so without my biological mother here with me. My mom died when I was 10 years old. When I found out I was pregnant, as excited as I was, I felt scared and more alone than ever. Caela worked with me through her Grief Doula services to create a session that touched on how to include my mom in my pregnancy, labor/delivery, and mothering my son. We had a one on one session that changed my life. My perspectives opened to see a new possibility of my life’s abundance of mothering, even without my mom physically present. And how I can bring the lessons my mom taught me into my parenting of my son, and beyond. Caela was also our postpartum overnight doula. She became an integral member of our family. We were so bummed when our contract ended, but felt so much stronger from the tools she has given us. Caela spent time with me and my husband coaching us on how to better soothe our baby. She listens to give tools that may help US, not just a blanket of tools that have worked in the past. Caela is professional. She sends a message when she leaves for your house, and a recap after the night of feeding/changing details your pediatrician wants to know. If I were to do this again I would book 5+ nights for at least 10 weeks so you can get some sleep and Caela can help you develop a new routine. “Caela is worth her weight in gold.,” my husband says.

I cannot say enough good things about Micaela. She is amazing! She exceeded my expectations. If you’re looking for a doula, I highly highly suggest Micaela! Less

Ceala is a wonderful person who loves her job and this is evident in his dealings with her Even after her mission was over, she continued to help me, check on me, and help me with my baby She did not leave me for a moment and treated me like a sister and gave me positive energy all the time I really strongly recommend her because she is a person who comforts psychologically and this is what I needed Less

I cannot recommend Micaela enough! She is so full of knowledge and you can tell she has a deep passion for birth. I truly believe I could not have had a successful and powerful birth without having her by my side. She is every bit calm, encouraging, and advocated for me every step of the way, especially when my self doubt almost consumed me. I am forever grateful to have had her on my birth team! Less

Caela was my very talented and supportive doula for the hospital birth of my first child. We couldn’t have done it without her! Leading up to the birth she helped us create our birth plan / preferences and went through labor positions to get us comfortable in advance. She was there to check in after every dr appointment leading up to the birth and talked me through options as I was pressured by the dr to induce at 39 weeks for a “big baby”. She helped me to form the right questions to ask the doctors so that I could weigh pros and cons of any decision related to my care. On the big day Caela was there every step of the way. Not only did I feel supported by her, but my husband did as well. Caela helped me get into various labor positions and helped my husband with how best to support me. She was a calming & trusted presence throughout the labor experience. After the birth Caela was there to help my husband and I get settled and didn’t leave our sides until we were comfortable. She checked on us the next day and multiple times in postpartum. She was still available for my postpartum questions and helped me to find the right resources when needed (a great lactation consultant for example). Caela has found her calling by being a doula and we are lucky to have found her and had her support during an important time in our lives. Having Caela as our doula was the best decision we could make. Less

Really valuable service, especially for first time parents, without Caela the birth of our daughter would not have gone nearly as well. She served as an educator, an advocate, and a friend. She was with us every step of the way beginning with pre birth education, then came to the hospital to help with delivery at 4am, and checked in with us the next day and a couple weeks later. I believe she also offers post partem doula services but we didn't use any of those. Less

My impression of Micaela is one of warmth and senserity. She is a very generous person and is pleasant to be around. I've seen her in action at birth circles and she always provides real-world advice that is encouraging when it can be and otherwise helpful. It's clear after meeting Micaela that she has so much love to give to the world and she ain't shy about it. I highly recommend her services. Less
