“For a first time dad it was amazing having her there because she had so much more knowledge than I did and she helped us out so much. She just knew what to do and moved quickly. I 100% would recommend her to anyone!”a

_____________

“I really can't say enough about what an incredible job Arica did while I was laboring and while pushing my daughter out. To the point, where the nurses even expressed being impressed and invited her to return anytime. I would highly recommend MA's Helping Hands service if you're a first timer or 5th timer.. SHE’S WORTH IT!”

_____________

“I enjoyed having a professional show me what was needed to help my wife through.”

_____________

“Overall, it(our labor and delivery experience) was waaaaay better than I expected or could hope for, especially with no epidural. The natural pain relief methods that Arica had in her tool box was game changing and gave me the confidence I needed to keep persevering forward past each contraction. She always knew what to do at the right time and helped my husband support me through and ensured I was comfortable always. ”

_____________

“Yes, my expectations were met! I wanted a knowledgeable support person who was consistent & personable, which is what I got.”

_____________

“The prenatal meetings were extremely helpful and more than adequate in preparing us for what to expect for labor and delivery. I would actually say that I felt more prepared for labor and delivery and what questions to ask my Dr., more than what my insurance/hospital prenatal classes prepared me for. ”

_____________

“All of the information provided was very helpful!! Tons of information on breastfeeding, latching, milk storage, etc. Also, every time I had a question or needed info, Arica promptly provided it.”

_____________

“The prenatal meetings were very helpful. I thought the labor plan we had to fill out beforehand was the most thorough labor plan I have seen. It was great to know all of our options and have an ‘ideal’ plan.”

_____________

Yes, my expectations were met and exceeded. This was my first (and potentially only) pregnancy, and I was not sure what to expect out of a doula service. However, MA's staff was consistently prepared, engaging, and ready to serve in any capacity emotionally/spiritually/physically as needed.
