“We had a great experience with our doula Kelly in 2024. Kelly met with us in advance and helped us prepare mentally and emotionally as well as provided us with practical tips for setting up our home for our newborn and getting ready for parenthood. Additionally her presence in the delivery room was incredibly valuable. I highly recommend Wildwood Birth!”

“We love Kim!!! We had an instant connection, and she was (is) a constant source of warmth, love, understanding, and feeling of validation and safety. She supported both me and my husband throughout labor at home, the birth center, and postpartum in the best way. Cannot say enough good things about her!!”

— Maile

“My family used Wildwood services in 2023/24 for the preparation and delivery of our first baby. We participated in their online courses, utilized their doula services for my high-risk hospital delivery, and then day/evening postpartum support. If you're considering birthing courses or doula support...don't hesitate...call Wildwood! Every interaction we had was professional, encouraging, and productive. Their support made our entire experience absolutely incredible, and I would definitely use them again!”

— Kylene

“Thanks to doula support from Wildwood Birth, I had a wonderful natural birth in a hospital setting. It was painful-but-healing, wild-but-calm, and an incredibly positive experience for both me and Gregory.”
