“As a first time mom I was nervous about giving birth and what to expect from the process. I was even nervous about what would happen at the hospital. Hilary put all those worries at ease, she answered all my questions. She is so smart in her field and gave me so many more answers than my OB's did. She really is passionate about what she does and that makes all the difference. The class is very informative and she makes it fun because she is so funny too! My husband joined me and he felt happy he did, as he learned labor support techniques and overall how to advocate for me during labor.”

“The 2-day Birth Prep class was fantastic. The room/space was really nice, awesome to not be in a small classroom. We covered a lot of information in two days. Hilary has a great personality and speaks very well during the lectures. Both nights flew by! The class was awesome for my partner as well. Her class educates on all your options so that you can make the best decision for your own birth preference. It is not a one-style class. I will definitely be using her as a resource down the road.”

“We worked with Hilary as a virtual doula over the course of my pregnancy and the birth of our first child. Honestly, it was some of the best money we’ve spent. Ever! After our initial chat, I knew that she was smart, down to earth, funny, and took a balanced, well-researched approach to pregnancy and birth. She is caring, patient, reliable, proactive, encouraging…I could go on and on and mean every word to its fullest extent. Because of her, I felt supported, safe, and confident in my choices throughout every stage of pregnancy and childbirth. I plan to recommend her to all of my friends (and any pregnant strangers I come across 😉 ). She’s that good!”

“My husband and I took the Birth Prep Class. I didn’t really think a birth prep class was necessary. Women have given birth for centuries without a class, why give up a Saturday and spend the money on one? Luckily my husband pushed us to do it. Our instructor was great. I ended up asking more questions in a six hour class than I probably did in four years of high school. The class is extremely well organized and every bit of information was relevant and will be extremely helpful during the birthing process. The only downside to it was I had to tell my husband “you were right.”

"I’m a crunchy-leaning but very down-to-earth, science-based person, and this class was right up my alley. Lots of facts, good info from both medical and “natural” perspectives without either side being pushed or vilified. I know my husband in particular feels much more prepared/involved and is suddenly more interested in taking an active role in labor and delivery prep whereas I think he had been feeling a bit “along for the ride” before. Hilary is excellent. Super friendly, personable, straightforward and has a great sense of humor."

“My husband and I left Hilary's class feeling much more prepared for the birth of our first child! We loved her emphasis on informed and empowered decision-making and she is so warm, personable and funny so we stayed engaged the whole time. It's also helpful that as a doula she has worked in many hospitals and birth centers in the Westchester/NYC/CT area including ours, so she could answer specific questions.”

“Hilary was such a well informed, fact-based, kind, comforting presence for me during the birth of my son. Nothing went according to my plan or intentions, I had a rare complication and had to be induced over four days, which eventually failed and resulted in a C Section. Nevertheless, Hilary had a plan for every possibility and walked me through those possibilities. She was prepared and knowledgeable throughout a hectic, changing situation. I was astounded by how gracious she was, with me, with the doctors, the nurses. I'm so glad she was there with me in the trenches. I cannot recommend her enough.”

“It's hard for me to put into words how appreciative I am of Hilary's support during the birth of my first child. She's informative, friendly, and helpful and I truly don't believe my birth experience would have been nearly as positive as it was without her there. I highly recommend her doula services!

Really enjoyed her birthing class too - my husband and I learned so much and she was able toanswer questions we didn't even know we had!”
