Kind Words from Supported Families

 I honestly don’t know how people give birth without a doula. Having Deena by my side changed everything. Even though my labour was intense and difficult at times, her presence made me feel so supported, safe, and deeply cared for. Deena knew exactly when to comfort, when to encourage, and when to simply hold space. She made me feel seen in every way, and I truly don’t think I could have done it without her, Looking back, I can see my labour as one of the most magical and meaningful experiences of my life 

Deena came when I was still in early labour and within 30 minutes kicked me into active labour. Whether it was her comforting words, essential oils, or double hip squeeze, both my partner and I felt extremely supported during my birth. She helped comfort me for the duration of my labour and really supported my partner too. She was there for us the entire time and we honestly don't know how we would have done that without her!! The level of support and care was unmatched and we would highly recommend Deena to anyone.

Having Deena as our support network created  a much more comfortable environment for  us to welcome our second child. Her support was invaluable. Until now i didn't know that doula are for the dads too! 

 Whether this is your first or third birth, you will find the utmost support, kindness and wide range of knowledge with Deena. Not only will she address all of your concerns, but she'll work with both you and your partner to get as close to that dream labour and delivery as possible. You'll feel confident and strong as ever with her behind you cheering you on and advocating respectfully as needed. there was not a single regret having Deena be apart of my team in on call support and there for a long first time labour. She even helped teach my husband to get hands on, and took the most memorable photos from the whole journey.  I don't think it could have gone as smoothly without her, I'll recommend her always! 

Little mountain doulas was an invaluable resource to our family as we welcomed our first child! Both ladies are a wealth of knowledge, kindness and sensibility. We made use of the the books they loan out and their check-ins were great. The meetings with both doulas gave us additional resources and helped us consider some new aspects of labour and birth. While my labour went smoothly and I really didn't want much physical support, the reassurance that we had someone with lots of birth experience who could advocate for us, or be with me if my husband had to go to another room with the baby, was reassuring. I was able to be comfortable and confident having a hospital birth. It also gave my husband the reassurance that he needed when he was uncertain about timing of moving to the hospital. I will absolutely recommend Little Mountain Doulas to anyone giving birth or needing support postpartum and will definitely be a return customer as we expand our family!

I cannot say enough good things about Deena and Ericka! We purchased their “full shebang” package which included 4 at home childbirth classes and 4 hours of postpartum support. They were incredibly informed and thorough in the classes and helped us learn everything we needed to know for the birth of our first baby. Having their support throughout my pregnancy to ask questions gave me so much confidence and having their help postpartum was a huge relief.

Deena was present for the delivery and I can honestly say I would not have been able to have the natural birth I wanted without her help. She was with us for over 14 hours, supporting me through my labour and giving suggestions on how to move things along. She even stayed a few extra hours at the hospital after birth to make sure we were okay, after staying up all night with us! I am forever grateful for the role she played.
