“Contessa’s lively service embodied all that I could have desired to guide and support my natural labor. Experiencing her presence has made me a lifetime admirer and I’m fortunate to advocate for her calling as a doula.”

“We started the pregnancy journey with her, and she was everything I never knew I needed. She was supportive emotionally, and held me accountable to make healthy and wise decisions that would make Labor Day as easy as possible. I felt empowered by her words of encouragement, but was also challenged to do exercises and movements in order to help my baby get earth side as easy and fast as possible.”

“Her presence is like a big hug from a friend. She provided support before, during, and after my daughter‘s home birth. She was able to use her knowledge of different movements and positions to ease discomfort during labor. She also gave advice as to how to nourish my body during pregnancy and encouraged physical activity to prepare for birth. Her birthing class was so much fun and was filled with useful information that I needed as a first time mom.”

“She supported us throughout the whole process of pregnancy, birth and postpartum. She provided a nutritional meal plan that helped me regulate my blood sugars. Her knowledge on natural birth and exercises helped me to have the birth outcome I wanted. Her support, care and steadfastness empowered and comforted me during labor.”

”Her focus on education, nutrition, and exercise are 1000% aligned with our priorities and it was the perfect fit for us as we navigated the newness of everything during pregnancy. She is honest and unapologetic about her values, approach, and commitment to teaching her clients to advocate for themselves. She was generous with her time, guidance, and communication.”

”She handled me with great care, empowered me, and respected me. She stood, kneeled, and laid by my side during the hardest process I had ever experienced. She supported my husband in a space that was new to us. She took care of us.”

“I cannot recommend her enough! She comes with a calming presence, good positive energy, and a wealth of knowledge. She made both my husband and I feel empowered, confident, and so very supported.

I should note that we worked with Contessa in a virtual capacity! She gave us the building blocks that ultimately empowered my husband during labor to be there for me in unfamiliar territory as I labored by aiding me physically, but also advocating for me/relaying my desires to the nurses when I could not. Having her there to guide and offer suggestions to him as I labored made me feel doubly supported. I strongly believe she was the missing piece that pushed me to fight for the labor and delivery outcome I wanted, and received.”
