Testimonials
“My first pregnancy was an emergency c section. I always wanted to experience having your baby on your chest after being delivered vaginally. I decided to have a vbac, but I was scared of the risks. I found out that having a great support team and a doula would increase your probability to have a successful vbac. My only challenge was that having a doula was that I couldn’t afford it. However, everything changed after finding out about this organization and speaking with Ruth. She gave me hope when she told me that I would be able to have a doula. This was the key to my successful vbac. My doula Kevina, was an angel sent by God. The moments when I thought I wanted to give up and stop, she provided me reassurance, confidence and motivation to continue. Thanks to her I didn’t use any pain relief medication. I don’t have words to thank this organization and my doula for this unforgettable experience. Every woman needs a doula at her birth. Gracias.”
“Veronica isn’t just our doula, she is part of our family. During my first trimester I dealt with an array of emotions, essentially on my own with my partner. After securing a doula with Community Calling, everything changed. The relationship formed not only with Veronica and myself, but also my partner, was effortless. She is the reason I was able to balance my emotional well-being throughout my pregnancy. I learned so much through her about caring for myself and my baby, preparing for delivery and communicating needs with my partner. Veronica was always available to connect, whether phone call, text, FaceTime and several in-person meet ups. I really appreciated her dedicating a Saturday morning to attending a child birthing class with me and my partner! I had such a great experience with Veronica and can’t imagine what this journey would be like without her!”
“I had been struggling since I was pregnant and I was hardly able to cope, then, my baby came early and with all the complications, meds and stress on my body, I have been drowning even more with my toddler too. I didn’t know who/what a Doula was before I was introduced to the term by a Doula who knew of my struggles. I can honestly say that this service is gold. This past week, the days I got service and Chelle was here, I was able to breathe for a few minutes, bathe, and ask questions and get answers regarding concerns I had. I am so grateful.”
“I am going through one of the most stressful moments in my life. It’s lonely, it’s confusing and overwhelming. I’ve been feeling so lost and mentally and physically drained. My doula Chrissy has only visited a few days but already I feel like there’s some light at the end of the tunnel. Just being present to offer her hand, help with the baby or my daughter, lend an ear or offer some advice has made such a difference. Every little bit help especially when you don’t have any support from friend or family, every little bit helps.”
“Before receiving these services, I was really having a hard time after giving birth and coming home feeling overwhelmed, a little depressed, alone, in pain and wondering how I was going to do it all by myself. Then I was BLESSED to receive these services and just in a week’s time, things started to get better for me and my kids and I have started to feel better although my journey has just begun. This program is TRULY A BLESSING that I prayed for! SO THANKFUL!!!”
“We were struggling latching for breastfeeding and reached out to doula Ruth for assistance. She was able to assist us virtually first and recommended we needed an in-person doula to help us further. They were very accommodating, they came the same day to help us. Doula Jessica was very nice and patient and reassuring that we were on the right track with our methods.”

“When I had issues breastfeeding Kevina came out even on the weekend. She helped me, calmed me down, and made a plan with me on how to continue. I’m very grateful for these services.”
“My baby started off in the NICU, by release he was so used to the bottle. And did not want to latch so we have been exclusively pumping. My insurance sent me a hands free pump. Over the last 2.5 months this pump has been tearing up my nipples and my supply has been pretty bad. I also went through mastitis 4 times. When Doula Ruth reached out to me and sent over Kaci within hours I had better supply and less pain!! THIS IS LIFE CHANGING FOR ME AND MY BABY!!! Thank you!”
“Kaci was very informative and was able to help me find the appropriate size flanges and how to optimize my pumping experience. As a second time mom, I thought I knew more than I really did & it was nice to get more info & the appropriate parts that I needed. I’m so thankful as I will be going back to work in a month & was concerned about how pumping was going to go, but I feel much more at ease about it now.”
