“Hannah has been a life saving resource and support for my fertility, pregnancy birth AND postpartum. My little man was born very small and struggled with latching but with Hannah’s support, tips and help, starting in the hospital right off the bat, I was able to get the hang of nursing + pumping. He has surpassed his birth weight and I have a mild oversupply which is PERFECT. My anxiety about the feeding and sleeping schedule as a new single parent is decreased to a very healthy and safe degree thanks to my doula support. Thank you!”

“I have nothing but AMAZING things to say about Hannah. She was my doula at my birth and has been such an incredible source of support and education before, during, and after. My premature labor happened really quickly, and Hannah made it there and was so supportive and an integral part in helping me feel empowered through a situation that held so much unknown. She provided incredible resources during my pregnancy and after. She’s helped me so much with breastfeeding, providing extra support after birth in this area. Above all, she has the most incredible way of being with people. She brings competence, kindness, compassion, and an incredible attitude event to the people she works with. I could not say better things about her and would trust her again and again with one of the most vulnerable experiences of my life.”

“Knowledgeable, compassionate, nonjudgemental, kind - a few words that come to mind when I think of Hannah. She was such an incredible support for me and my husband throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Hannah stepped up and was instantly by my side after our son was whisked away seconds after a traumatic delivery. She was such a calming presence, reassuring me that things like this sometimes happen and that the team was doing everything possible to help our baby. In such a scary and unpredictable moment, Hannah gave me a sense of calm and ease - something I am forever grateful for. When my milk supply dipped postpartum, Hannah went above and beyond to not only connect me with a past client who was willing to donate milk, but even picked it up for me and brought it to our next visit. She is truly one of a kind!”

“Hannah took me on 3 days after my due date when I realized I wanted more support than I had. She was flexible, compassionate, and a really wonderful companion and confidant throughout my labor and post-partum time. Absolutely nothing went according to plan and there is no way I could’ve made it through without Hannah. ❤️”

“Hannah supported my family from the time that my son was in the NICU until he was 2 1/2 months old. She was incredibly supportive and helped me build confidence during the early stages of motherhood. Hannah is tremendously connected in the community, and provided me with resources and connections when we hit various hurdles. Because of Hannah’s presence, I was able to have breaks during the early days, which helped preserve my mental health in a positive way. She was also available over text message whenever I needed her, answering questions about pumping, feeding, and anything else I needed. I’m grateful to have found Hannah and certainly recommend her to any parents during or after their family building journey.”

“We hired Hannah of Peony Doula Co. to be our Doula for the birth of our second daughter. She came into my life in a time when I went from being totally confident about giving birth with our first daughters pregnancy to being quite fearful and desperate to have a birth experience that would provide much needed healing with this pregnancy.

I did a lot of research when trying to find a Doula for several reasons. One reason was the extra birth expense. I wanted to make sure that the support we received would be worth the money as we are a one income household and have a tight budget. I can promise you that Hannah is so worth finding the money in your budget to hire her. Hannah loves what she does so much, and it shows by how passionate she is for caring for birthing individuals. She is constantly adding credentials to her name by keeping herself up to date with as much certifications and knowledge as she can to best serve her clients. Another major reason I researched so thoroughly when choosing a Doula was that we wanted to find someone we felt totally comfortable bringing into our sacred and very intimate space. I also wanted to find someone who was trauma informed because of my previous birth experience.

I knew when I found Hannah’s profile that she was the right Doula for me. I was only hoping she would be available for our birth, and thankfully she was! She went above and beyond in every way to provide the care and extra TLC I needed during pregnancy whether that be phone conversations to go over plans, holding space for feelings, offering suggestions or resources, and so much more. After spending pregnancy, labor, and postpartum working with Hannah I felt as though I gained a friend. Hannah was invaluable to me and I felt truly cared and wanted to make sure I had the birth she always said I deserved.

During labor Hannah really listened to our desires of how we wanted this experience to be different. Although I had wanted a home birth due to previous severe postpartum hemorrhage I was not a good candidate for a home birth. Hannah helped me figure out ways that I could still have the birth I wanted within the hospital/medical system. She worked as a unit with my husband to provide me with the support I needed, advocated when it was necessary, worked alongside the other members of the birth team, made sure that I was following through on all my desired requests for reminders, and providing continuous encouragement and care.

With all this and more Hannah also took many photos and videos (literally a multitasking magician taking photos and videos at the same time!) which were something I missed out on for our eldest daughters birth and so now I have tangible proof of how purely incredible this birth truly was. I will forever cherish them especially since she was the one capturing some of the most special moments of our lives. If you are looking to hire a Doula, which I really encourage, please do yourself a courtesy and hire Hannah of Peony Doula Co.! You will not regret hiring such a wonderful human being who’s truly passionate about providing the care that is individualized to you.”
