What people are saying:
Elizabeth VonderHaar, MD
... I have had the pleasure of working with Heather on Labor and Delivery for the past year. She has gone above and beyond her role...Her interactions with patients and their significant others can be described as nothing less than compassionate and caring. ... She has shown great dedication to maternal health and wellness and she will make an excellent midwife, one in whom I would feel privileged to work with given the opportunity...

Words fall flat trying to describe why I’d recommend inviting Heather into your birth journey, but I’m sure within minutes of meeting her you’d see exactly why you’d want her around. We had the privilege of Heather assisting with the birth of our daughter. Labor was intense and fast with little chance to discuss strategy. Despite these conditions and having never met before (not the typical setup), Heather was able to read what I needed and jumped in to provide the support to keep me moving toward holding our baby. Her treatment was equally supportive of my partner—something we’ve found to unfortunately not be the norm in the world of birth services. It was clear Heather hadn’t simply chosen to work as a doula out of just an interest or even a passion for babies and birth, but rather because of a deep respect for the importance of and gifting to serve people through the transformative process of pregnancy, labor, birth, and those early postpartum stages. Her services are truly reverent and I cannot imagine having received better care from anyone else.

I was a little nervous because I hadn't heard anything about Heather before and I'm very picky about who comes around my babies, but the night I went into labor, I had slacked on finding a doula and I had been meaning to talk to Heather sooner, I just hadn't done it. I texted her and within 30 minutes, she had replied- even after working a 12 hour shift, she came by the house and helped out for about 5 1/2-6 hours! I have a one year old and a newborn and Heather was very sweet and tried to help as much as possible with my one year old, even though she screamed and cried (she's a mommys girl) for the first 30 minutes Heather was here, but she was very calm while my daughter adjusted, and my daughter even gave her hugs! (: I'm so thankful my midwife and her team pointed me in Heather's direction! I would recommend her to anyone!
