“Hiring Bella was the best decision we made for the birth of our second child. She was knowledgeable, responsive, and always knew just the right things to say to make me feel supported. Having her with me in the labor felt like having a really good friend there with me - but one who knew all the tips and tricks for labor! She also was a tremendous help in the weeks after the birth, giving space for me to process it. Bella is compassionate, a great listener, and an intuitive caregiver and we are so grateful for all of the ways she supported our growing family!.”

— Jody, mother of two

As first time parents, we wanted to hire an L&D Doula to help us prepare for the birth and to provide support during the delivery. Bella was incredible and the whole experience completely exceeded our expectations! She treated us like family and really took her time to walk us through things like labor positions, medication options, and comfort measures. I’ve passed on so many of her tips to others! Whenever we had a question or concern, she would quickly compile resources for us and help us navigate things (while completely supporting our preferences). During my labor (which was very long), she provided so much support to both my husband and me. Having her there made the experience so much more positive. She also continued to be a great source of education and support during early postpartum.

Bella truly goes above and beyond. She did so much to support our family and will always hold a special place in our hearts. We can’t recommend her enough!

I worked with Bella & Sarah from Two Doulas and You earlier this year throughout my third trimester and labor in early May. They were both super knowledgeable, organized, and responsive leading up to my daughter's birth. We did multiple in-person and zoom sessions where they got to know me, my husband, and our birth preferences as well as provided education of common interventions, pain management techniques, etc. However, it was really in the labor room that I was truly so grateful that I decided to invest in the support of a doula. Bella was on call for my daughter's birth and she was fantastic from start to finish - even staying after (at 2am!) to help with breastfeeding.

I highly recommend working with Bella & Sarah regardless of whether you're doing a medicated or unmedicated birth. However, if you do want an unmedicated birth, I personally consider doula support a must. I ended up choosing an epidural. However, I was able to labor unmedicated for a very long time with Bella's support (which allowed me to move around as well as eat at the hospital).

Long story short - I loved my experience working with Bella & Sarah!

I can't recommend Bella and Sarah at Two Doulas and You enough! Deciding to use doulas for our first pregnancy was the best decision we could have made. We had so many questions during pregnancy and in preparation for delivery, and Bella and Sarah were always thorough in helping us explore all possible answers. During the delivery, they always seemed to be thinking multiple steps ahead of what I could need. I can't imagine us going through labor and delivery without their calming and reassuring presence during a very uncertain experience.

I can’t say enough good things about Bella & Sarah. They both helped us pre birth & Bella was with us during the birth of our perfect baby. The tools, resources & conversations prior to giving birth were so helpful to us, especially as first time parents. Having Bella at our birth was game changing, I honestly cannot imagine how it would’ve gone without her. She helped me labor, changing positions, helping my partner help me, spoke to nurses & guided us through an unmedicated labor & delivery. It was a beautiful experience, I wouldn’t change a single thing about it. Highly recommend these two!

My doulas were Bella & Sarah. They were both amazing & I loved working with them. Bella was at my birth and she was so helpful and created a beautiful ambiance. All of the nurses and doctors commented on it. After my birth I had some things I wanted to take through about my birth and they both were so sweet and caring while helping me navigate through some of my feelings. I would highly recommend them. They are wonderful

We had our first child about 2 and half months ago, and I am convinced we would have likely not met my birth goals without the support and expertise of our doula team. Bella and Lisa were personable, professional, and caring right from the start. They helped my husband and me get on the same page when he initially had doubts about my birth plan, and after our delivery, he raved about how wonderful Bella was: "She was the MVP!"

With Bella present, I was able to achieve my goal of having an unmedicated birth. She assisted with verbal affirmation, physical positioning, monitoring my fluid intake, guiding my husband on how he could support me, and communicating with the L&D team once we arrived at the hospital. She knew innately where to be and how to help. Without her there, I'm not sure I would have had the same awesome experience. We are grateful to Two Doulas & You! I could not recommend them more highly!

Working with Bella was an absolute joy and the best decision my husband and I made during the pregnancy. I feel like it was meant to be!

I originally planned on and hoped for a spontaneous unmedicated birth and ended up with a long, medically-induced labor and an epidural. Bella helped me to emotionally cope with and process the changes in plan (in addition to helping me physically cope with the pain of labor). She always knew the right thing to say or do to make me feel safe and supported during such a challenging experience. She also helped my husband to support me in a way that made the birth experience (though difficult and different than we had imagined) one of the best experiences of our lives. I will never forget the support that she gave me and would highly recommend her to anyone else looking for skilled, compassionate, personalized labor support.
