We cannot recommend her enough!
Megan put us at ease during the lead-up and absolutely shinned during the big day. We cannot recommend her enough! We worked with Megan for our first-born. In the lead-up to the birth, Megan patiently answered all of our questions and clearly explained her role and the care and support we could expect from her. She knowledgably answered our various questions, from what it felt like to enter into labor to the check-in process at the hospital. Most important to us, Megan was flexible and responsive to our needs, style, and approach. She did not enforce upon us her views or singular approach. She asked us questions and she accommodated us. During the birth day Megan truly shone. She displayed selflessness on every level. She gave her mind, body, and soul to us. She was with my wife through nearly EVERY contraction lasting nearly () hours. She applied counter pressure, encouraged deep breaths, and keept Mom in the moment. Second to Mom, the physical stamina she displayed was remarkable. Her support heartened us through a some times scary process. We also had a challenging post-brith experience and Megan stayed overtime to help us navigate through it. Megan went beyond the call of duty. In spite of a rather challenging birth, we look upon the experience fondly. And that has so much due to Megan’s work. We cannot recommend her enough!

Megan, I just wanted to say thank you again!
I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for everything you have been doing for us! I feel so much better and empowered after your words of advice and encouragement!
You are just an amazing human being and have an amazing ability to provide a sense of calmness during a stressful time!
We feel so lucky to have experienced the labor and birth of our son with you. We couldn’t have asked for a more kind, loving, calm, strong, skilled and helpful doula. Thank you for being such a special person. You have our deepest gratitude forever and we look forward to having you by our side again for our next birth. Every expecting mother that gets to have you by their side will be the luckiest!

I’m SO grateful I had Megan as a part of my pregnancy journey.
Megan educated me and encouraged me to advocate for myself during labor. She was always available to answer my questions and answered the phone at 1 in the morning when I was in labor and needed support. Due to hospital COVID policies, she was not present for the birth but she made extra accommodations to make sure my husband and I were prepared. I do not believe this experience would have gone as smoothly and peacefully as it did if I did not have Megan. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I was lucky enough to find our doula Megan
I needed a strong, supportive and caring woman who would just be there for me, who wouldn’t let me panic if something went not the way I expected. And she was everything I was looking for and beyond. She was sensitive to my husband and i’s needs and very accommodating. She was always available and always punctual. At the labor I really needed that counter pressure to my back and her encouragement that I heard on the background. I didn’t know before how every word I heard would make a difference and give me strength. She also provided us with the ideas of what to do with placenta - something I hadn’t thought about. At the end we had a great labor experience and we were absolutely happy about our decision to hire Megan as our doula. I would repeat it again.

I truly cannot recommend Megan at the Birth Grove highly enough.
Through 22+ grueling hours of labor at home, Megan never left my side. Megan supported me both physically and emotionally through every single contraction. She applied counter pressure, offered essential oils, helped me breath effectively, and kept me calm and present. She created a space where I felt safe and cared for. When telling my birth story, Megan's support is always the highlight - I tell everyone that I wouldn't have made through the unmedicated home birth without Megan by my side!!! She was truly my guardian angel - a gift from God. I will absolutely be working with Megan again for future births! Thank you, Megan!

I'm so glad I picked Megan to be my doula!
I just had a baby and I’m so glad I picked Megan to be my doula! She is so sweet and caring and my entire experience was so special thanks to her!! She is very knowledgeable, helped me calm down, held my hand when I needed it and literally went above and beyond to make sure I had the birth I envisioned to myself.
Having a doula during my birth was a game changer and having Megan was even better. I couldn’t imagine a better person for that moment.-Viviane, third time mom
