“Choosing to work with Meg before and during the birth of our daughter was one of the best decisions we made. During our sessions prior to labor, Meg set the tone and quickly forged a relationship where both my husband and I felt safe to ask questions and share our needs. Her evidence-based approach came through in the way she answered our questions and her explanations were never pedantic, always showing empathy for the anxiety that might be underlying a simple question. These "get to know you" sessions made me feel confident in our decision to work with her even before my water broke 2 weeks early.

That confidence and gratefulness for her presence only grew through a long labor. Meg's calm and supportive demeanor and her creative thinking kept me going in labor. She communicated well with my husband and made sure we were both feeling supported and heard. This was so important when we were told we needed an emergency C-section. I am so grateful for the reassurance she gave us as we grappled with this shift and that she was able to accompany us in the OR - she was a constant and warm source of comfort.

When my postpartum recovery the following day took a scary turn, and Meg went above and beyond - coming back to the hospital to help monitor the situation and provide support as we tried to figure out what was going on. She even stayed to make sure my parents were well-situated as they watched our daughter during a second surgery and hospital transfer for me. 

Meg was amazing to work with during the uncomplicated process of early and active labor. And she was extraordinary when things took a turn for the worse. We'd recommend Meg in a heartbeat.”

“We knew from the moment we met Meg that we could stop our search.  Relatable, articulate and yet a supurb listener, Meg went far beyond just listening. She took into consideration our communication and decision making styles and provided a completely custom-tailored path to for us to achieve our birth preferences.  As an example, Meg understood our voracious appitite for unbiased, scentific informtion, and suggested evidencebasedbirth.com (they garther and articulated a summaries of actual reserach) as a means to better inform our decisions. And, having worked with the midwives at Swedish, Meg was not only our best adovocate during delivery, but the most ideal person for a stress free hosptial trip.  It's a pleasure to recommend Meg to those considering her services, as we alreday have to our friends.”

“Meg exceeded our expectations in every way! This was my first birth and Meg’s calm, attentive, knowledgeable, and flexible presence before, during, and after our birth was integral to our ability to enjoy the process despite unexpected complications. We interviewed several doulas and knew Meg was the right fit for us because of her personable presence and knowledgeable skillset. During our prenatal visits Meg was prepared, personable, and followed up quickly with resources to answer our medical questions. These visits helped me to ask my doctor better questions and go into my labor and delivery with more knowledge to make quick and informed decisions. I don't think I could have truly enjoyed my labor and delivery without Meg by my side. She was always there with water, food, coffee for my husband, a firm hand to hold, and an advocate to help us make medical decisions. She was so calm and attentive and always knew exactly where to step in to relieve my husband and provide me the support I needed. She worked seamlessly with the Swedish nurses and doctors proving she was the perfect liaison between our family and the medical staff. She remembered to take pictures and video during the delivery which is something we wouldn't have if she hadn't thought to do so. After the delivery, our meeting with Meg brought the whole event full circle. Including Meg in our birth team was the best decision we made. We highly recommend her and would definitely include her in any future births.”
