“Marise was so helpful, not only for my birthing experience, but she assisted me with navigating through ridiculous health insurance issues, demanding doctors & unexpected scary diagnoses. Marise always provided me with articles and resources that would help me make informed decisions. Weighing the risks and benefits is something that I learned from Marise and I will take with me forever. From pregnancy to labor to postpartum, Marise was with us every step of the way.”

“I am so lucky to have found Marise! Her presence and attention, her patience and compassion, her confidence and immense knowledge- all of these qualities helped me surrender to the process and bring my baby to this world safely. As a postpartum doula, she helped me process my birth story and brought me warm nourishing meals. She helped me with early breastfeeding challenges, and provided resources to connect me with other professionals. Having a calm and steady, non-judgmental witness throughout the entire journey- from loss to pregnancy, labor, and finally postpartum- has helped me find peace and gain confidence as a new mother.”

“Marise was amazing and I truly feel that the success that I had during this pregnancy may not have happened if I didn't have her by my side. She gave me confidence, she made me feel strong, and heard. She made me feel so safe when it came down to making on the spot birth choices.”
