“I was able to have an unmedicated water birth. It was amazing and I'm so thankful for you and this class! Thank you so much!!” -HypnoBirthing student
“We worked with Transitions for birth and postpartum support. To start, working with a doula during pregnancy provided a lot of support and peace of mind that last month. I was also provided a lot of support those last few days before birth. I ended up getting induced so labor was pretty long. During that time my husband and I felt so supported while at the hospital. Great experience during labor. I also worked with Renee for postpartum assistance. It was beyond helpful to have someone at the house during maternity leave. She watched my son, cleaned, cooked, freed my hands so I could nap, bathed my dog, the list goes on. It was also really nice to have someone checking in on us throughout leave. I would definitely recommend!” -K.
“Renee was a wealth of knowledge in the Breastfeeding webinar! I’m going into birth feeling so much more informed and confident in my ability to feed my baby. Thanks Transitions!” -S.
“My husband and I were so grateful for Kelsie's expertise, warmth, and calm when we had our first baby this summer. Despite a long labor with some complications, I felt so well cared for that I still remember it all fondly as a good experience. Kelsie is worth her weight in gold, and hiring a doula is one of the best decisions we made about our pregnancy! — L.
“Kelsie has a can-do attitude, she is a natural feeler. Kelsie is warm, kind, creative, nurturing, positive and capable. What I love most about Kelsie is that she truly cares. She has a way of making you feel like she’s part of your family by making others feel comfortable to open themselves up. There is nothing Kelsie can’t handle; she’s able to walk into a situation, and without saying a word she knows what needs to be done and will do it.” — A.
“Kelsie was hands on, helping myself and my husband through labor and delivery, with different pain management and breathing techniques that ultimately allowed me to have the natural birth I desired. She was my advocate, professional, caring, compassionate, and exactly what we both needed to help us through such an unfamiliar and exciting experience. If you want a positive and memorable birthing experience, ask Kelsie to be your doula. You won't regret it.” — J.
“We hired Abbie as my doula and I’m so glad we did. She helped me through my first birth, was amazing physical and emotional support, and empowered me to make decisions that were right for me throughout the process. We’re so thankful for her!” -K.
“I was supported by the team for my birth and postpartum period and would highly recommend these services. As someone who had a complicated first pregnancy and first few weeks after birth, I was really hoping that this second time around could be a healing opportunity, and it was. The team contributed to that positive experience in multiple ways: Abbie helped give me peace of mind leading up to and during labor, and Renee quite literally kept me feeling sane and human postpartum. I’m very grateful Transitions was a part of this journey with me and my family.”
“Everyone needs a Kelsie!”
Kelsie was amazingly supportive through my pregnancy, birth, and now postpartum. My birthing experience was so powerful for my husband and I thanks to her education, passion and kindness. I was able to fully experience birth with her and my husband (amazing team) by my side! Everyone needs a Kelsie! — M.
“Renee was an amazing and huge part of my postpartum months with my daughter! She helped us keep our family organized, took some weight off of our shoulders with housework and kids, and was there for me on some mentally tough days. She has become an unexpected friend even my kids love! I would highly recommend opening up your home and working her.” -J.
“(She) was there for me on some mentally tough days.”
“Renee was an essential member of our birth team and we are so thankful for her and all she did to help my husband and I prepare and give birth to our first child. We first took her HypnoBirthing course which was a vital part of us obtaining a calm birth even when it became challenging. She was there from the start, answering texts quickly in the middle of the night, talking us through our options on the phone to help our baby into a better position while still at home, meeting us at the hospital and staying until after our son was born. She was a force of calm and provided many comfort measures to help make our birth more relaxed. She also was a voice of experience reminding us to speak up for what we wanted and supporting every one of our decisions. We feel blessed to have welcomed a healthy baby boy and can’t thank Renee enough for being a part of it!” -S.
"She truly stood with me with unwavering support throughout pregnancy and labor. Transitions helped me achieve an amazing birth story!" -S.
"Best decision we made regarding this pregnancy! I highly recommend services." -J.
“Having a doula seemed like the missing link for our second child compared to our first. My husband also was very pleased with our experience and said “having a doula should be a necessity, not a luxury.” Their encouragement and support was so valuable as well as providing suggestions and evidenced based resources along the way.” -M.
“Having the support of a doula made the birth of my second so much more calm and manageable as compared to without with my first. I fully believe that without the support and knowledge of (our doula) I wouldn’t have had the birth that I did, she made me feel safe and empowered. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a doula!”
