Families Supported by Summer's Doula Services

"I had the pleasure of having Summer as my doula, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. A friend suggested getting a doula for support, and I discovered Summer through social media. I didn’t realize how much of an impact she would have on my journey, but I am so grateful I decided to include her in our birth experience.

Summer was extremely knowledgeable and always responsive. She supported us every step of the way, ensuring that we were well-prepared and informed. My birth ended up being expedited, but thanks to her resources and guidance, we managed to organize everything just in time for a comfortable scheduled C-section. When the hospital decided to keep me, I was incredibly nervous. Summer arrived within an hour of me letting her know about the change in plans, and her presence immediately put me at ease. She made sure the doctors were aware of my birth preferences and assisted whenever she could.

What I really loved was that the information covered during her sessions was exactly what I experienced in real life. I felt so empowered and in control of my experience because of her. Her post-partum visits and regular check-ins were invaluable, providing much-needed reassurance and support during the transition period. Summer's resources also helped my partner and I navigate post-partum life smoothly.

Summer's dedication and care were evident in every interaction, making a significant difference in our experience. If you are considering a doula, I highly recommend Summer. Her expertise and compassionate support are unmatched."

"I can't express how grateful I am for Summer being an incredible support throughout my pregnancy journey. She has been more than just a doula – she's been my guide, offering invaluable insights and comforting advice. From explaining what to expect during and after pregnancy to helping me manage anxiety and cherish joyful moments, Summer has been there every step of the way.

Her attention to detail is remarkable, providing suggestions for labor exercises, insights into the delivery room, and emphasizing the importance of mental health and communication with other caregivers. I've found our sessions, complete with PowerPoint presentations, to be incredibly informative. Summer has always been quick to respond to my questions, sending educational materials, resources and session summaries promptly.

Summer also paid attention to mental well-being, came up with a birth plan catering to my needs and communication with other caregivers added an extra layer of comfort. She wasn't just a doula; she was a friend who genuinely cared about my well-being. Calm and soothing nature, coupled with her role as my support system and cheerleader. She has truly created an amazing pregnancy journey for me, and I can't thank her enough. If I decide to have another baby, there's no doubt I would want Summer as my doula once again."

"Our journey with Summer was nothing short of extraordinary. From the initial meeting, we felt a deep sense of comfort and trust in her abilities. Her approach was not only professional but also filled with warmth and kindness, making us feel like we were in the care of a close friend. Her expertise in various birthing techniques and methods, such as effective breathing exercises and pelvic floor strengthening, enriched our preparation for childbirth.

One of the most impressive aspects of Summer was her focus on personalized care. She took the time to understand our unique needs and preferences, incorporating love languages – acts of service, quality time, and physical touch – into our birthing plan. Her suggestions, from listening to positive birth stories to engaging in light prenatal exercises, were tailored specifically to us, making our experience feel truly special.

Moreover, her resourcefulness was a godsend. Whether it was providing informative PDFs, sharing insightful infographics about Braxton Hicks contractions, or simplifying breathing techniques for easier recall, she ensured we had all the information we needed without feeling overwhelmed. Her proactive follow-ups and willingness to schedule additional sessions as we neared the due date underscored her commitment to our well-being.

Summer was instrumental in guiding us through one of the most important phases of our lives. Her blend of professional expertise, personalized care, and genuine warmth not only prepared us for childbirth but also enriched our entire pregnancy journey. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any expectant parents seeking a supportive, knowledgeable, and compassionate doula."
