Kind words from families
From my very first conversation with Heidi over the phone, I could feel her sincere interest in me-my hopes, my concerns, and the kind of birth expereince I wanted to have. I immediatly felt heard, encouraged, and that feeling only grew throughout my pregnancy. Having experienced a traumatic delivery with my first baby, pursuing a different and more positive birth expereince this time around was incredibly important to me. I carried a lot of emotions, fears, and concerns into this pregnancy, and Heidi met all of it with such calm insight, steady support, and sincere words of wisdom. She gave me reassurance without ever making me feel dismissed, and she helped me feel confident in my ability to advocate for the birth I wanted. On the day of my delivery, Heidi was truly everything I could have hoped for. She was by my side and my husband's side every step of the way, continuously providing the support, encouragment, and reassurance from the very begininng. She knew when to step in, when to simply be present, and how to help both of us feel grounded throught the entire experience. Two weeks postpartum and I'm still riding the high of experiencing my dream delivery. After what I went through with my first birth, I honestly didnt know if I could ever feel this way about a birth experience-and Heidi played such a meaningful role in helping make it possible. I can only say that so many future families are going to be incredibly lucky to have her in thier corner. She is compassionate, knowlegable, calm, and genuinly invested in the families she supports. I will forever be grateful that she was a part of such a life-changing and beautiful chapter for our family.

This was our second birth with Heidi Biddle as our Doula. While the birth was very different from my first, Heidi was the same calming, supportive presence- just as she was with our first. This baby came very fast (under 4 hrs) and Heidi was crucial in helping me determine when to alert the midwives and when to leave for the birth center. She coached me through a very fast paced labor and helped keep me grounded when I felt very much out of control of my body. I cannot thank Heidi enough for her support with our births. She is an invaluable part of our birth team and we will definately be using her services for any future kiddos. I, with confidence, recommend her services to anyone who asks (and sometimes when they don't!).

When we first met with her, we immediately knew we wanted to work with her for the birth of our first child - she took her time to explain exactly what her role was. My husband appreciated that and was on board when she said 'I'm there for you (husband) so you can take care of her'. In his eyes, he felt at ease knowing she was there in case he did not know what to do during labor. Aside from being so laid back, down to earth, funny and just an all around awesome person Heidi, she has a gift for making you feel comfortable, relaxed and focused. I don't remember a whole lot from labor - bits and pieces here and there but I remember the moment Heidi walked into the room at the hospital. I was just getting into active labor leaning over in pain and my husband was doing everything he had been coached to do and did a fabulous job...but I have to say the minute Heidi walked in she took action. She came in and sounded positive and excited and immediately asked the nurse for a bucket and got ice and water to put a washcloth on me and did anything and everything she could to make me more comfortable. I felt completely at ease (as much as I could during labor) knowing she was there. The birth class prep we did was amazing as it definitely gave us an idea of what we will be going through and how my husband and I would react and work together during labor. I think aside form the support during labor the best support she gave was in post partum care with the struggles of breastfeeding and all the worries and anxieties of being a new mom. She came over when we got home from the hospital and helped out so much to again, relax us and help us with breastfeeding. I am sad that our services are done with her and can not wait to hire her again when we have our second child. She is apart of our birth story and we were so glad to share that with her.
