“Working with Chandler as our birth doula was an incredible experience. She brought a sense of calm confidence to my birth space. We were afraid having a doula would feel like an extra body or would get in the way of my husband being my main support, but Chandler was able to support my husband and myself in a way that did not feel imposing. She was also able to read my needs without a word! She easily identified each stage of labor and knew exactly how to support me well from early labor all the way through golden hour. I shared my birth plan with her during my pregnancy and she helped fine tune it with her many resources and experiences and helped advocate for it throughout labor and postpartum. I knew I could trust her guidance because she so throughly understood my goals and opinions. I can confidently say Chandler was the best addition to my birth team!”

“"I had so many fears leading up to my birth. Chandler was a gift that God gave me to ease those fears. My grandmother, who raised me, and who I always imagined would be with me during labor, was unable to be there, and I was so afraid of going through this unknown without her. My husband was absolutely phenomenal and as prepared as he could be, but he'd obviously never given birth, and isn't a woman, so there was a level of encouragement and assistance he just couldn't give me. My midwives were awesome too, but I knew I needed another woman by my side who'd given birth and experienced it the way I hoped to. As soon as I met Chandler, I knew it was meant to be. She was confident and knowledgeable about unmedicated, intervention free birth, which helped nurture the confidence in me to birth intervention free. She gave me and my husband tools and resources to help ease the discomforts of labor. Even though I met her in the last trimester of my pregnancy, it felt like I knew her for years and years. She didn't make my birth about her, but instead let it be whatever it needed to be for me. She was a calming presence, a hand to hold, she stepped in so my husband could rest and hydrate, she made sure we both had what we needed. The best was the counter pressure during contractions. They were crucial, and she did it so well. She was a gentle advocate for me as things progressed throughout labor, as she knew in detail what my desires were. She provided physical and emotional support before, during and after the birth of my daughter. She's my sister in Christ and in pregnancy, birth and motherhood. I'm so thankful that she's been faithful to God as He's called her to this sacred role, and I'm so happy for the women who choose to have her fill that role in their pregnancy/births." ”

‘‘From the very start of my pregnancy, Chandler was my biggest support. Through all the highs and lows she was steady by my side- encouraging me and empowering me every step of the way. With every meeting she exceeded my expectations with her knowledge of biological birth & options for both mama and baby. When complications arose she was my backbone in making sure my voice was heard & my needs were met. One thing that stood out to me as we prepared for the birth of our daughter was how Chandler not only focused on her relationship with me, but she placed emphasis on making sure my husband felt empowered to be as involved as he desired to be. I believe this played a crucial role in making our birth the beautiful experience that it was. When labor began Chandler was steady in tone and communication. Her own surrender and trust of the natural birthing process calmed my nerves and empowered me to freely work with my baby & my body through the process. She knew my birth plan like the back of her hand and advocated for me along the way. She simultaneously embraced the process with compassion, empathy and confidence. Chandler has a true gift and we’re blessed beyond belief to have had her involved before, during, and after the birth of our daughter. I wanted to have a celebratory & Christ centered labor and she cultivated just that with (and between) each surge. She is a fountain of wisdom and has a wealth of knowledge. She transformed our birth space in all the best ways.’’
