Aleecia is a wonderful person and an amazing doula. My sister wanted me to have a doula for my birth and she found Aleecia's profile for us. From there, communication was easy including an informational visit. Aleecia readily shares her joy and kindness from the moment you interact with her. I had some unexpected pregnancy complications that were thankfully treated and didn't impact my baby, but Aleecia was quick to adjust our schedule in case I delivered early. She provided resources and I could bounce ideas with her when I had questions or uncertainty. I don't think we could have handled the delivery without her, as I ended up having a complicated one. Her energy and coaching was incredible. I felt so supported by Aleecia on our birth and postpartum journey. She has so much experience and knowledge, and she finds a way to convey it truthfully and gently. I will never forget her visits in those early postpartum days when we were so overwhelmed and confused, and we were so grateful to have Aleecia there. She really feels like part of your family. She's also good at the practical stuff, and she coordinated with my postpartum doula and lactation consultant as well as provided paperwork for my flexible savings account. I would highly recommend working with Aleecia and we'll seek out her support if we have another child.

"Words cannot explain how grateful I am to have worked with Aleecia. From the day we had our first meeting I knew I made the right choice in choosing her to be my doula. She is authentic, kind, patient, supportive, knowledgeable, professional, experienced and honest. She provided me with so much information and helped me have a voice during the remainder of my pregnancy journey leading to my labor. She assured that I got my ideal birth experience and that my birth plan was considered during my labor. She is so experienced that during my labor stages she suggested and recommended some interventions that not only helped me but broaden the knowledge of the midwives who were present. Her presence and authenticity even made my husband comfortable enough to participate and be there for the whole labor, something he didn’t want to do at first. When I felt like I couldn’t do it anymore, it was Aleecia who gave me the words of encouragement and guidance to get through the pain and discomfort. She was truly amazing, a blessing that I’m grateful I crossed paths with and supported me during my pregnancy and labor. Anyone would be lucky to get her services and I know for my next pregnancy she will be who I go to again. She has become family to us and I will never forget how she made my husband and I feel during the birth of our first child. Thank you and may you continue to be blessed for the work you provide. I will be recommending her to anyone that I know is looking for a doula."

"My partner and I decided to include a doula in our birth experience because we wanted someone to support us emotionally and physically during my birth. Aleecia was such an amazing doula for my partner and I. She was so supportive during my pregnancy and birth and my postpartum care. She was always present and checking in. She's knowledgeable and always connected me with really helpful resources. She was so calm and supportive and made my birth experience, beautiful and seem so blissful. She advocated for me and it made me feel seen and important. I appreciate and am so thankful for Aleecia, a beautiful soul. If I decide to have another baby I would definitely want Aleecia as my doula again. Thank you so much Aleecia, you were amazing!"

"Aleecia is AMAZING! She is so insightful, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, kind-hearted, and patient! I am so glad I picked her to be my doula. Her expertise kept me well informed through out my pregnancy. From choosing where to deliver, to getting information about ways to care for my body through acupuncture and massage, Aleecia had an unlimited amount of researched suggestions and recommendations. Due to her amazing coaching, my baby girl was born quick and easy without any major tearing. As a first time mom, laboring with her was everything I could have ever hoped for. She kept me at ease and focused, as well as upbeat and joyous. Everyone deserves an Aleecia in their labor room! "​

Aleecia was such a pleasure to have by my side during such a vulnerable time. From the day I met her she was on top of things and throwing information at me left and right (all very useful). Her bubbly energy is very infectious and inviting. We met late in my pregnancy due to me just moving to town but that did not prevent her from getting all my needs met. She is very resourceful, knowledgeable and attentive. If I didn't know she had other clients I would feel like I was her only one. She was readily available and made me feel like her top priority. This was my second birth and I was praying I didn't have back labor again. Unfortunately I absolutely did have back labor! She pulled some tricks out her bag that helped me get through each contraction. The relief from her massaging and counter pressure techniques was heavenly to say the least. Aleecia listened to me and voiced my wants when I was unable to, I felt very safe and supported in her presence. I would definitely recommend her to everyone especially moms that fear they might have back labor. She felt like family but was very professional at the same time. I am very pleased with the Aleecia experience. 10/10 highly recommend!!
