“Responsive and dependable!”

Choosing Olive Branch Doula Services was the best decision I made for my birth. As a first time mom, there were a lot of unknowns-with Chelsea by my side, it made every step less daunting! She was responsive and dependable, not to mention a genuinely enjoyable person. Her knowledge, experience, and enjoyment of her work shines through at any given moment. She also prepared my husband on how to best support me, which was critical for my long labor! I would recommend her services to everyone and use her myself for any future pregnancies!

“Valuable Resource”

We hired a doula to help with my wife’s delivery, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Initially, I wasn’t entirely sure about hiring a doula, but now I would strongly encourage anyone to hire one, especially Chelsea. She was incredible in soothing my wife, getting her into comfortable positions, and assisting in the delivery of our baby.
The entire birthing experience was phenomenal, largely thanks to her expertise and care. She was a valuable resource well before the birth, providing us with guidance and support, and even after the delivery, she continued to offer her help and advice. She answered all our questions, brought materials like essential oils to help soothe us, advocated for our wishes, and thoroughly explained the pros and cons of various decisions and procedures.
Her support made a world of difference, and we highly recommend her services to anyone seeking a dedicated and compassionate doula.

When things don’t go to “plan”…

Chelsea is absolutely amazing. I reached out to her when I was about 4 months pregnant. We met out at an IHOP to discuss my requests and address my questions. She came prepared and discussed the process. She is extremely knowledgeable and had plenty of advice alone with instructions. From that day on I knew we would need her by our side. I wanted a natural labor, but when it hit 40 weeks things became complicated. She spent all night with me until my contractions got to be 2 minutes apart. We rushed to the hospital. She stayed with me the whole time. This was my first child and when they sent me home. She was so comforting and consoling. I had a very tough long induction over a week later. She kept my husband informed in the room and helped me do everything I wanted to do. And when it came to it, I did have to have a cesarean. She kept me feeling strong in my choice and informed to all my decisions. I could not thank her enough for all she did by my side. I will have her at the birth of all my children in the future and would highly reccomend her to anyone. First time or fifth time going through any labor.

“Exceptional Support”

My partner and I had the incredible privilege of working with Olivia Branch Doula Services as our doula during the birth of our first child, and we cannot express enough how grateful we are for her exceptional support and care throughout the entire journey.

From our very first meeting, she made us feel comfortable and at ease. She took the time to get to know us, understand our preferences and concerns, and provided us with comprehensive information about the birthing process. Her calm and nurturing demeanor immediately reassured us that we were in capable hands through our birthing experience.

“I gained my power back”

I’m a first time mama that knew absolutely nothing! I have read so many reviews and watched disappointing and sad videos on experiences of pregnancy and birth leaving so many women with PTSD ( Thanks to Olive Branch Doula Services, i did not experience that ). Every step of the way i was extremely anxious! I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and had severely low iron after conceiving. There’s a lot of misinformation out there which caused even more stress. UNTIL i came across Olive Branch Doula Services! Chelsea helped me EVERY step of the way! She helped me gain my power back and at the same time helped me ground myself with so much peace. She helped me understand that i make all the calls with everything from doctor visits down to my labor at the hospital! She never left my side and successfully executed every request i had in place for my birth plan including pain management! I could NOT have done this without her!! It warms my heart to know that i have a successful and encouraging birth story to tell other moms and i give all thanks to Olive Branch Doula Services!
