[Cari] has a very calming spirit, and made sure everything we discussed was what happened during our experience. She was engaging, supportive, caring, and overall nurturing. I highly recommend her, especially to a first time mom. It's alwasy great to have someone to advocate for you and makes you and your spouse feel comfortable.
My doula encouraged me to consider a water birth and assisted me in finding a midwife and birthing center that would accommodate my desired water birth experience, and provided me a lot of information about natural births in general. I am forever grateful for my doula - the support and confirmation that I could have any birth I wanted.
Cari is the best doula ever! [She] was always available to coach me through my labor at home and eased my mind so that I could labor at home for as long as possible. She used peanut ball, nipple simulation with a breats pump and other bed techniques to progress labor. I am so grateful for her support!
The service I received from Caring for Legacies was exceptional! Ms. Love provided amazing care and knowledge throughout the entire length of the experience. She arrived at the hospital in a timely manner and provided much needed comfort and support throughout my birthing experience. Ms. Love’s knowledge and care was essential to my natural birthing experience. I could have not done it with her. Therefore I am forever grateful for the team at Caring for Legacies. I highly recommend their services!
