Our Doula




















We met Gail while taking our childbirth class in October. After learning she was also a physical therapist and a doula, we decided to hire her to assist us during delivery. It was the best decision we made...aside from having a baby to begin with.

Gail was amazing! First of all, her intuition sent her to the hospital at the perfect time! Kevin had called to give her an update and she was just two blocks away. During labor, Gail helped me stay focused and suggested positions and techniques for getting through the pain. And I can't forget to mention the hours of back massage!

The next day, she arrived at the hospital with homemade cookies and an awesome "Sock Monkey" quilt for Carver!
