I trust Mariah with everything I have. She was with me throughout my pregnancy. She was direct yet gentle with coaching me and she worked well with the hospital staff. Because of a medical condition, I had to have an emergency cesarean section. It was great to have her with me to keep me and my family calm throughout the process.

We sought Mariah out for lactation consultant services. Having our first child and deciding to breastfeed, we knew we'd need all the support we could get. As a queer couple of color, it was very important to us to find someone with a diverse experience and background who could support our family's needs, and Mariah exceeded our expectations! She is very knowledgeable, supportive, responsive, empathetic, and honest! Having her as a part of our team has been extremely helpful and we truly don't believe that we would have been successful, nor would we have even attempted to continue our lactation journey if we didn't have her. She uses all of her available resources to address any problems, issues, or concerns, and she does it all with grace and passion. Our family is truly grateful for her!

Mariah is amazing! She's a spectacular combination of knowledge, love, responsiveness, and positivity. My wife only wanted labor support but ended up getting so much more!!! The time Mariah spent educating herself radiated throughout every conversation she had with my wife, which made her feel confident and comfortable with giving birth. We can't thank Mariah enough for her encouraging words during labor even though Covid-19 wouldn't allow her to be at the hospital with us. She went above and beyond to be there virtually which was a big help.

Two kids in, I thought I knew everything there was to know about caring for a baby. However, after the birth of my daughter, I reached out to Mariah for postpartum help. She was everything I needed her to be. She assisted with meal prep, bonded with my other kids, and allowed me to just sit and bond with my newborn. She provided me with extremely helpful breastfeeding tips and facts and introduced me to baby-wearing. I am forever grateful for her kind demeanor, patience, and serene spirit. She is nothing short of amazing and has all of the qualities that make her a perfect doula.

Mariah did a phenomenal job assisting in providing my wife and I with information and content on what to expect with pregnancy through every phase and advice on topics that arose. She gave us peace of mind. This continued even after birth when we brought our baby daughter home, which included advising us on do's and don'ts with breastfeeding, postpartum concerns, and general questions. She answered every call no matter the time of day/night and knew what to do in every situation. We will definitely be using her in the future if God is willing to bless us with another miracle!

I knew I wanted things to be different this pregnancy - it had been almost 12 years since my first. As soon as I spoke with Mariah, I knew she was the doula for me! She was so supportive through pregnancy and postpartum. She provided so much information and all the resources that I needed to accomplish my goals. Not only did she help me, but she assisted my entire family! We are definitely family now and I would highly recommend her services!

I feel fortunate to have found Mariah. I utilized her doula services for my VBAC experience. She remained physically, emotionally, and mentally present for me throughout my pregnancy and postpartum period. The qualities I desired in a doula were a strong knowledge base, a natural passion for the profession, reliability, and a personal connection. Mariah held those qualities all around. Pregnancy and birthing are quite intimate experiences; it was comforting to have a confidant there to bear many of my emotions with. I highly recommend Mariah.

Mariah is a pleasure to work with. She made me feel very comfortable and guided us throughout the entire process. Not only is she knowledgeable about prenatal and postpartum care, but she also knew what resources were available at the hospital where I delivered. The fact that she knew most of the hospital staff and had a good relationship with them made the process even better. She always responds promptly and paid attention to everything I wanted to ask or needed her advice on. During times of discouragement, she knew what to say to keep me going. I wanted to have a natural VBAC. Everything that she told me automatically came to mind during labor. I can definitely say that she helped me prepare physically and mentally to achieve my goal.

Miss Mariah was not my doula but she did more than stand in the gap. She served as my midwife's student assistant and went above and beyond to make sure I was educated and felt supported during my homebirth experience. She was very warm from the moment she walked in, and my family has fallen in love with her. Even though she wasn't my official birth support doula, she has kept in contact with me since the birth and offered assistance wherever she was needed. I will definitely be keeping in touch and recommending her services to whoever I can!

As I was hesitant, and a bit skeptical, regarding my need for assistance, I didn't seriously research doulas or obtain Mariah's services until my third trimester. However, I gained so much knowledge. She helped me delve through the trauma from my son's delivery and even taught me, a licensed physician, some things I didn't know. She ensured my birth plan was honored; as a result, she, my husband, and my delivery team guided me through a beautiful vaginal delivery (VBAC)! This time, I cried tears of joy, as I was able to enjoy that “golden hour” of skin-to-skin bonding with my daughter.
In the weeks postpartum, Mariah came to our home, cleaned up, played with our son, and ensured I was always in a healthy mental space. I followed her advice and gave myself grace whenever possible. Overall, Mariah is an extraordinary doula and lactation consultant but more than that, she is now a lifelong friend and member of our family. If my husband gets his wish and persuades me to have a 3rd, she will be hired ASAP. I will recommend her services time and time again.

I am a returning client of Mariah’s. We had such a wonderful experience with her as our doula with our first born. Recently our son experienced some difficulties with nursing. It was no question to book Mariah for a lactation consultation. She was very thorough and asked plenty of questions to get down to the bottom of the potential problem. Without her knowledge and expertise we would not have realized our son needed to have a tongue tie released. Additionally, Mariah helped in ensuring the proper fit and utilization of my breast pump. Her support has made such a huge difference in my birthing and breastfeeding journey! I HIGHLY recommend booking any of her services!
