Every postpartum family deserves a doulaHaving a doula brings expecting mothers and their partners emotional, physical and mental support. Doulas might have varying preferences, skills and offerings. Doulas do not act as medical professionals in any way. Birth doulas are involved in the prenatal and birth time frame, while postpartum doulas are involved following birth and up to a couple of months after.

"Allison Doherty was our doula for our second child. Allison was simply amazing! She has great confidence in what she is doing and yet has a calm and peaceful manner about her both of which made me feel instantly comfortable with her and like her. My husband also felt the same way right away which is a feat as he often doesn’t care about such things. My husband is very quiet so I wasn’t wanting anyone to run him over with taking charge and making him the third wheel but yet I wanted and needed the doula support. Allison was the perfect fit! She met with us and me separately ahead of the birth on a number of occasions. We would go over my fears and concerns about the upcoming birth along with ideas she had to help me prepare and know to maybe use in labor. I never felt pressured or rushed or like I was inconveniencing her. I felt confident and ready for my birth. Allison was always there for me in person, by phone, text or email. On the big day she walked me through calling my provider and getting to the hospital where she greeted us and never left my side unless checking in with the hospital staff for me. She helped me with positions and positive thinking. She kept in touch with the staff as to my needs and helped me get answers I needed to make decisions. The hospital was very busy so Alison was my life line! She stayed with me getting me settled in our room, supporting through the first breastfeeding and even setting up my fragrance diffuser all before she went home. I wanted pictures and Allison got many awesome photos throughout the birth and the special first time we spent with our baby. She emailed me the photo link along with a birth timeline I love! She also followed up by text and email many times following the birth and came for a postpartum visit to see how we were doing. We got to discuss the birth and events of that special day. All in all Allison was amazing and such a wonderful doula I was so glad to have! Thank you so much Allison!" -Jessica

"She was our postpartum doula and took truly outstanding care of me and my twins. She primarily worked overnights, doing all baby care. She woke me to pump or nurse as requested. She kept me hydrated and I always felt much better after she was with us for a night. I trusted her 100% to care for my babies right away. She is warm, caring, conscientious, and an all around pleasure to welcome into our home during a stressful time." -Trisha
"Trisha was at the birth of our first son and we were so excited to have her at the birth of our second son. I honestly couldn't have imagined giving birth without her! My second son, however, decided to come two weeks early, and she wasn't going to be able to make our birth. While I was in active labor and ready to go to the hospital, Trisha was able to connect us with Allison and Allison was so willing and eager to unexpectedly attend our birth. We had never met Allison before, but from the second my husband called her, asking her to make the hike to MGH in Boston at 11:00 at night, I knew that she would be able to meet the high expectations we had. As soon as Allison arrived, she jumped right in to support and I immediately felt comfortable with her. Allison was calm, warm, and so kind. She was willing to do anything that I asked (food, water, ask the nurse a question, etc.) and was also able to provide things for me that I didn't think to ask of her (essential oils, braid my hair). Allison got wonderful photos and wrote up a super accurate and really great visual of our son's birth timeline, that we will forever keep. She was able to add in details of the birth that I forgot or just didn't even know happened!" -Melissa
"During my son's hospital stay, Allison was wonderful. She always knew how to bring a smile to my face and alleviate my fears. She answered my questions or connected me with nurses and doctors who could help me. She was very loving with my son and showed genuine, heartfelt love for him and me. I am blessed to have had Allison's support during my son's time in the NICU." -Rachel
