She was there every step of the way during my pregnancy to answer my questions and provide helpful feedback.  Not only did she help me with the facts about pregnancy (like can I eat this thing?) She also always said the perfect things I needed to hear on the emotional side.  I felt so supported throughout the process.

The first meeting, Dara came to our house and went over our birth preferences and got to know us a little better. She went over some spinning babies techniques and general birth education. Again, we loved her and felt safe and that she knew what she was talking about.

I felt cared for, but not overpowered. Dara held the space for me to follow my intuition and birth my baby,
leaving me feeling empowered and exhilarated after my birth.
She offered me gentle encouragement and tips leading up to the birth, and offered the same during birthing time.
Her kind words and gentle hands were so appreciated, and I highly recommend her services.

She seamlessly fit in with the other staff at the hospital and knew exactly when to step in
and when to defer to other professionals.  It was the best compliment to my birthing team!

It is frequently warned that birth rarely goes according to plan and that was 100% the case for my family, yet the only thing that did remain constant was Dara and her never ending support. Dara will transform your birth in a powerful way with her words, touch, and energy.

She challenged me in all the right ways that made me really dig deep inside to find the true warrior that would help me bring this human into our world. My husband felt at ease in her presence as she helped him to support me in the best ways during the labor and birthing time. Her continued support guided us through the challenges and beautiful experience of breastfeeding.
 -Allison July 2021

Throughout the entire experience, she was a source of peace, comfort, and warmth. Both in-person at home and at the hospital, Dara provided a calm and nurturing atmosphere for my husband and me as we went through this challenging yet rewarding experience.

And speaking to the men out there, I cannot express my gratitude enough for Dara's patience and understanding.  After helping my wife, she would answer all my ignorant questions, remind me I was doing great, and help me show how to make a bigger impact to support my wife.  So, if you're wanting to show up like a real dad, utilize Dara's skills and heart and your wife will appreciate you for it greatly.

Dara is nurturing, intuitive, wise and incredible at supporting mothers and families on their birth journey and beyond. We also worked with Dara for her postpartum doula services and it was such a valuable asset to our family during the transition in those first weeks. I highly recommend this service for all families if they can do it.
-Lindsay June 2020

Our postpartum journey has been incredible. Thanks to Dara for all the support and encouragement throughout the postpartum phase. Dara has been FABULOUS and we could not have navigated through the postpartum phase without Dara. It was such a blessing to have Dara provide in-home breastfeeding support. She helped us navigate through our deepest fears and provided extensive support with positioning, latching, tips and relaxation techniques with my daughter. She coaches us on napping/relaxing/feeding schedules. Dara provided ways to bond with my daughter by helping establish breastfeeding techniques, skin to skin contact, taking care of myself, being calm in stressful times, and identifying and responding to hunger cues.
-Divya May 2020

Dara helped us be successful at breastfeeding without pain and answered so many of our questions. She was flexible with our needs and wants and helped us gain confidence. Her positive attitude and kind reassurance were exactly what this stressed out new mama needed! 
-Brooke June 2021

Dara’s support was critical in helping us work through our breastfeeding challenges and her continued support beyond our in person sessions has helped us continue to work towards our breastfeeding goals.
-Jenn June 2020

I also had a breastfeeding consultation with Dara when my daughter was 10 days old because we were struggling with breastfeeding. I was having doubts about continuing with it before I asked for her help. She got us back on track pretty much right away. She's a lifesaver!! She is so knowledgeable and so encouraging!
