That's What She Said.

Directly from my moms

"She was always by my side"

"Heidi's energy&
positivity kept me going."

"With Heidi's help I was able to have the labor and delivery I had hoped for."

"She talked me through every contraction."

“On the first day of December in 2009, I went from becoming a woman to becoming a mother. When I first met Heidi, I knew we would get along and she would be my Doula! My husband played for the Carolina Panthers and I was concerned he would be out of town for the birth of our son. I needed someone by my side that knew my birth/labor wishes. Heidi helped me to come up with a birth plan, with a couple of different options. She was realistic for my dreams of a natural birth in the hospital. When my water broke, it took awhile for things to progress at home and she helped me to do things while laboring on Pitocin that would help me to get through the pain and allow me to have the birth I desired. She was by my side for the 22 plus hours of labor and she also was there to help me with my breastfeeding. My husband was there that day, but Heidi, a woman and friend was right by my side from laboring at home to the hospital. Thank you Heidi for the most amazing birth experience. I enjoyed every moment and I am considering flying Heidi into whatever town I am in when I deliver again!”

“Having a successful VBAC with my second child was hugely important to me, and I know without a shadow of a doubt it wouldn’t have happened without Heidi’s physical and emotional support. Heidi’s energy and positivity kept me going through a long and difficult labor with a occiput posterior baby, and her expertise and calm also steadied my husband whenever things got interesting. Seeing my baby be born will forever be one of the most amazing experiences of my life. I am so incredibly grateful that we met Heidi, and if we have any more children, I want her by my side!”

“I truly cannot imagine my pregnancy and labor without Heidi!!! She was so incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and emotionally present. Any time in my pregnancy that I felt totally out of my depth and scared, I would call Heidi and leave the phone call in a completely different place. Her years of experience and emotional intuition are very obvious. She is the number one thing I will remember about my labor, she was my fiercest advocate and incredible emotional support. I cannot recommend her highly enough, I wish my friends all over the country could fly in to charlotte to have Heidi there during their birth. She is a game changer to any pregnancy!!

“As a doula, Heidi is the FULL package, and then some. By providing a concierge-like doula experience, Heidi supports birthing persons (and their partners) throughout the entire pregnancy, labor, and delivery journey. The level of support, education, and guidance she provides is unmatched which enables her clients to go into the delivery room with confidence. Due to some unforeseen complications, my labor and delivery plan was forced to be altered; however, through Heidi's previous education, in person support and guidance, we were able to quickly pivot which led to the healthy birth of our son. My husband and I are eternally grateful for Heidi and she will be the first call we make when we find out we are expecting our second."

Jordan

“I highly recommend Heidi for anyone looking for a doula in Charlotte. Heidi is extremely knowledgeable in all things pregnancy/childbirth. This was my first pregnancy, so I had no clue what I was doing or what to expect. Heidi was extremely helpful in navigating all of the unfamiliar symptoms that I experienced during my pregnancy and always responded to questions quickly. Heidi was at the hospital with me for my unmedicated labor. I was terrified and Heidi made me feel so safe and taken care of. She explained everything that was happening and made sure my birth plan was being honored. She was there with me the whole time (30 hours of labor) and I believe is the only reason I was able to successfully give birth without medication. Additionally, Heidi helps create a community of pregnant women in the Charlotte area and I have met a lot of friends because of her connections. I will definitely hire Heidi again if I decide to have a second child!"

"I simply cannot put into words how amazing it was to have Heidi on our team through pregnancy and bringing our second son into the world. Heidi’s incredible knowledge helped guide us through pregnancy, preparing for birth, and successfully completing a VBAC. Without her on our team, I can confidently say I would not have had the birth I so desperately wanted.

Birth Story Academy (provided for free for doula clients) was such a wealth of knowledge even as a second time mom. It throughly walked me through all birthing options and stages of labor. I walked into the hospital feeling confident in my options and what was to come. Heidi expertly laid out this course so it is easy to follow and understand.

With every phone call, text and meeting we had with Heidi, you could feel the love that she shows all of her clients. Myself and my husband never questioned that all of our choices were completely supported and that Heidi would do everything she could to get us to the outcome we desired. My only regret was not having Heidi on our team for our first son’s birth. Heidi’s love, guidance and support before, during and after provided myself and my husband with a truly healing and overwhelmingly positive birthing experience. We are forever grateful to Heidi for playing such an intricate role in our beautiful birth. All the love to you Heidi!!

“My husband and I decided we wanted to hire a doula because we thought we wanted to have a natural birth and knew we'd need all the help we could get. We met with Heidi and felt comfortable with her immediately. She is a friendly, positive, and warm person who obviously enjoys being a part of the birth experience. One of our biggest concerns was how my husband, Heidi, and my mother and sisters would all work together. I didn't want anyone to feel left out, unneeded, or bossed around. I needn't have been worried at all. Heidi worked beautifully with everyone. She helped everyone feel confident and in control. When my husband needed a break from the action Heidi seamlessly took over for him. She gave him guidance and helped him know how to help me. He has told me that she never made him feel like he was unneeded, and he never felt like he was being told what to do. She was awesome at knowing what I needed, what was working, and how to help me overcome the roadblocks. Even though I had some unexpected things come up during the final weeks of my pregnancy, with Heidi's help I was able to have the labor and delivery I had hoped for. Not only am I glad we used her services, but I will absolutely call her again if we get pregnant a second time (and she did), and I whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone who is considering hiring a doula.”

“I could go on and on about Heidi and I tell everyone about her because she was the one who made my birthing experience the greatest moment of my life. She was the glue that held everyone together especially at those challenging moments and provided us with assurance and confidence that everything was going to be fine. She literally talked me through each and every contraction (I had 36 hours of labor) and I honestly have no idea how I would have made it through without her. The comfort measures she provided me with were so key as well - such as the birthing ball, relaxing music, massage, bathing tub, aromatherapy etc. I never had to ask her to do anything, she always seemed completely "in tune" with my needs - believe me, this is so nice especially during labor!"

Angela & Elyse

"Noah came six weeks early and I was scared and confused about what the doctors were telling me. Heidi was by my side the whole time, went over the birth plan with my doctor, asked the questions I would not know to ask and explained the process to me. I don't know what I would have done without her!"

Amy & Noah

“We hired Heidi for the birth of our second child just as we began our infertility journey to become pregnant with him. Heidi was with us from the first egg retrieval, through our embryo transfer, throughout our pregnancy, during the birth of our son, and then beyond. She is attentive, educational, caring, and excellent at what she does. Heidi treated us like family throughout this journey and I would not have wanted anyone else in the operating room with me more than her. As a person that struggles with anxiety, she was able to keep me leveled and provided me with the care I so desperately needed. We also used her for our placenta encapsulation, which was fortuitous after blood loss during our birthing time. To say that we recommend Heidi is the understatement of the century—every birthing person deserves a doula and to have Heidi is invaluable. Thank you, Heidi, for loving us and for all of your support during this incredible journey."

Rachel

"Heidi was one of my doulas for my birth and we cannot say enough how valuable it was to work with her. Having Heidi in the room was like having your Mom there, in the best way possible, who is also an expert on labor and birth - she advocates for you, looks out for you, baby and your partner too, she pushes you but only in the way you want and need, she reassures you, she stands up for you. She both physically and emotionally assists in your birth - my partner and I both felt like it was worth absolutely every dollar spent and then some. We would not have had the positive birth experience we had (despite it being long and hard labor!!) if it wasn’t for her! We are so grateful to you, Heidi! <3"

“Heidi was the doula for the birth of both of our children. During the delivery of our second child, we found out that he was in the occiput posterior (OP) position, meaning that he was head-down, but facing my abdomen. Giving birth to a baby in the OP position put me at a much higher risk of needing a c-section. After several hours of unmedicated labor and over two hours of pushing, our son had made only minimal progress. I was very tired and in desperate need of encouragement to continue pushing. My obstetrician and the nursing staff were not confident in my ability to have a vaginal delivery without assistance. Throughout the delivery, it was Heidi that suggested that I try pushing in different positions, including in a squatting position - this is what eventually helped our son come down. If it weren’t for her knowledge about OP births and her constant encouragement throughout the process, I am confident that my son’s birth would have happened in the operating room. We can not find words to thank her enough for being a part of this special time in our lives. She helped give me the birth experience I had hoped for. I believe that a large part of my success in having natural births is due to the preparation and support that Heidi provided.”

-Kelly & Daschel

“Words cannot express how important Heidi was to our birth story. If you are even just beginning to contemplate the idea of hiring a doula, stop scrolling through info and DO IT. Even if you suspect you’ll have an easy birth. Even if everyone in your family gave birth in 5 hours or less. Even if you love your OB/GYN or midwife and trust them implicitly. Heidi was absolutely the reason I felt capable, calm and in control during the long day. She was like a conductor who seamlessly removed all barriers to having the birth story I wanted while allowing my husband and mother to feel included and important throughout the process. She knew exactly where I was at all points and was able to help me progress through labor completely unmedicated with her extensive knowledge of exercises and positioning, naturally mitigating the pain by applying pressure and directing my husband and mother how to truly help. Ask her to show you her model of the pelvis and she will explain how these maneuvers can make a WORLD of difference in moving labor along just by working with the body in different positions. She is encouraging, empowering, and she knows what you need before you do. I felt like the only client she had because she knew my heart and my wishes and did everything to make them a reality. She supported us all through labor and into recovery and I will forever be grateful and wish blessing on her for being so central to the sacred story that unfolded that night. She was so wonderful and I will 1000% be using her again for the next baby! Please love yourself enough to hire Heidi. I PROMISE you will be glad you did!"

“I can't say enough amazing things about Heidi. When I found out I was pregnant I knew immediately I wanted a doula for support. From the very beginning, Heidi was amazing, always available to answer questions and give guidance when needed! Her birth prep class & guide were so informative and helped me and my husband prepare for L&D. She worked with us to create our birth plan and was so supportive when that changed completely once I was in labor. She was there with me through my entire delivery at the hospital, assisting with pain management and advocating for me when needed.

My husband was very skeptical of our need for a doula, but I have asked him about a million times since our daughter was born if he would want to have Heidi there if we decided on another child and he says without a doubt every time!"
