“You know how peaceful and beautiful home birth pictures look online? I never thought I would be THAT calm in my labor, but Alaina made that possible!!”

Alaina is the greatest! From our first meeting, I knew Alaina was my person. She’s consistently been a source of strength and support for my second pregnancy. My husband and I were aiming for an unmedicated hospital birth originally but changed providers at 37 weeks to have a home birth. Alaina was able to seamlessly transition between birth plans and gave me all the confidence in the world that I was equipped for a home birth. When it came to my pregnancy, I truly felt like Alaina was the third most excited person after my husband and me. She was invested in our pregnancy journey and always had the right words to say. When it came time for my son to be born, Alaina was a rockstar. She showed up at our house with an infectious positive attitude. Throughout labor she was the one who helped me breathe and relax through every contraction. You know how peaceful and beautiful home birth pictures look online? I never thought I would be THAT calm in my labor, but Alaina made that possible!! I was able to sleep and relax until I was 7cm dilated when my water broke and then was in complete control of my emotions and breathing afterwards, thanks to her expertise and demeanor. When a transfer to the hospital became necessary for medical reasons and I was separated from my birth team, Alaina was a major support for my husband. She was able to switch her focus without hesitation and be there for him when we needed her. Her level of compassion is unmatched. Yes, on her website, she says she’s mothering the mother, but in our experience, she truly was mothering the whole family. Alaina has an exceptional gift for birth work and I would never have another baby without her. She was a vital piece of my pregnancy and birth story. I would recommend her to anyone!
