NEW LIFE MIDWIFERY SERVICES REVIEWS
Sarah is one in a million! I wish I had known her for my first two births. She gave me the most comprehensive prenatal care I’ve ever had. Our homebirth experience with her was flawless: she knew just what positions for me to be in for quick and optimal delivery. She is calm, assertive, knowledgeable, and has such a positive mindset. Her care postpartum has been incredible. I am going to miss her! She is incredible.

BIRTHWAYS REVIEWS
Birthways was amazing to work with. They made the process easy, pleasant, and I knew I was getting quality support and service. It was lovely meeting with the doula before birth. During labor, aside from my husband, she was the ONLY consistent person that was there for the whole process from beginning to end. Her counter-pressure back/hip squeezes were the only thing that made me feel that I could survive the next contraction. I had an amazing, exhilarating, totally natural birth.
My husband and I just attended the weekend childbirth class and could not be more excited to meet our little one. I went into the class with lots of fears, anxiety and worry about our upcoming birth. After attending the class, we learned so much and are now feeling confident and more excited than ever to meet our baby girl, who comes in December! Thank you so much!
We had Sonrisa as our postpartum doula. She was super helpful with our daughter, light house work, and breastfeeding advice. She is a kind soul and our daughter grew to enjoy her visits each week.

WINDY CITY DOULAS REVIEWS
We love Samantha! She was an amazing help in our first pregnancy, and we have asked her to be part of baby #2's labor too- I feel much more comfortable knowing we are getting great advice and have someone in our corner during the difficult to navigate labor process, and partum questions and advice too!
Great compassionate group of Doula! Care that you can depend on. I highly recommend them!
