Testimonials

  • "Desiree was amazing during and after my unexpected precipitous labor! She remembered details I mentioned during prenatal meetings about how I labored in prior births and used that knowledge to be present for my family and help my husband and I recover after a chaotic experience. I also so appreciated her help during postpartum. We made meals together to freeze for the future and she reminded me to slow down, take breaks and enjoy my family. She is a safe place and a dear friend. Every family she works with is lucky to know her!"

  • "We felt as prepared as any first time parents could be because of [Des]! During our labor and delivery, Des provided encouragement and coaching to us both. She also advocated for our birth preferences and intervened when necessary to share our wishes with the medical team during L&D. We were so thankful to have her in the room with us. An added bonus was Des photographed our first born’s birth- we already treasure these photos so, so much! We also hired Des to provide postpartum care, and she was so helpful to have around… from rehashing our daughter’s birth story to checking in on my postpartum health to cleaning our house in preparation for guests… she truly was such a gift to us those first 6 weeks of transitioning to a family of 3!"

  • "Having [Desiree] as a part of our birth experience was absolutely essential. [She} made time to meet with us, checked in with us as we got closer, and supported us in the moments that mattered most. Though our birth experience was a little weird at the start (12 hours of labor with 0 pain), [she] showed up when we needed her and was so helpful. She was a calming and supportive presence and helped [my husband] focus on me. As we reflect on our labor and delivery journey, she was a critical part of why we felt so cared for and we are so grateful that she was there!"

  • "We had an amazing experience with Des! This was our first childbirth experience, and she helped us navigate the new territory with confidence. She provided sound resources and wonderful support through the ups and downs of pregnancy. And when it came time to give birth, she was prompt, communicative, and provided the exact guidance we needed through the birth process. Her postpartum visit was also incredibly helpful. From bringing us food, to teaching us how to trim our daughter's nails, to helping with chores. We are so thankful we connected with Des for this process."

  • "Cannot recommend Desiree and Woven Doula Services enough! My partner and I recently welcomed our first little one, and we are so, so thankful we decided to work with her. She was knowledgeable, reassuring, and brought an incredible calming presence to the delivery room. Went out of her way to make sure we were informed before and during labor. Plus, she did an incredible “fresh 48” photoshoot of us and our baby in the hospital room. She got the most amazing pictures, which we received within a day or two. We’ll cherish those pictures, and the overall experience, forever."

  • "We cannot recommend Desiree enough! This was our second time having her as our birth doula, and once again she was absolutely incredible. She has such a calming presence and brings an immediate sense of relief to the room. Throughout labor and delivery, she made sure I felt comfortable, informed, and supported with every decision and everything happening around me. Her encouragement, guidance, and reassurance made such a difference in my birth experience. I am so grateful for her care and expertise, and we would choose her again without hesitation."
