“Heidi is not only an incredible doula, but also a wonderful person. She exudes peace, security and kindness, which was the perfect combination for me when I was pregnant/in labor. I moved from a different state to Michigan at 30 weeks pregnant. Heidi helped us navigate medical providers and helped familiarize us to the area. Heidi also offered extensive benefits to us beyond her presence during our labor, although her presence during my labor was very impactful. She helped empower myself and my husband to fully engage in the labor process. She also was fully supportive with various coping techniques and encouragement for a very long (30 hour) labor. She has a separate section of her website FULL of resources and information, which was so helpful in the sea of confusing and conflicting internet information. She also answered all of my many questions and was thorough, patient and evidenced-based in providing answers for me. Her visits to my home both before and after labor were comforting and reassuring and again gave me the space I needed to ask many questions. Heidi is also generous in her time and in her resources and never made me feel like I was bothering her or a burden in any way. I also had some questions about oral ties postpartum and she answered those and also referred me for additional support. Heidi’s services and her kindness made a significant difference in my pregnancy and postpartum experience”

"Three weeks before delivery I decided to work with Heidi and it was the best decision I made all pregnancy!"

“At the hospital she was the most calm, knowledgeable, and supportive presence. I literally would not have been able to do it without her support and encouragement and she was such a blessing"

"She literally helped make my transition into motherhood less stressful. I am so grateful to have worked with Heidi"

“I am so grateful to have had your help. You were seriously amazing and I felt so confident!”

"My wife and I could not have imagined a more perfect birth story for our first child. And Heidi with Golden Hours Doula Services had such a large part in creating that"

"Heidi’s professionalism and grace helped put my wife and I’s overthinking at ease. Through 40- hours of labor Heidi was there every minute to provide insights, relief, and was a true advocate for our plan. She has become more than our Doula, but a true friend to our Family "

"Heidi was the number one reason I got my VBAC! As a fourth time mom, I didn’t need as much birth prep support but I absolutely needed her help in positioning in labor. It’s something I wish so desperately I could have experienced with my other births - made all the difference for me. She was also very receptive and supportive of my needs to be as hands off as possible, but still inside the medical system. I consider her a friend and the most special part of our birth"

“As a first time mom, I was overwhelmed by everything involved in labor and delivery. I am so thankful for Heidi! She provided wonderful resources and answered every question I had with grace, wisdom and patience as I prepared for birth. It was such a comfort knowing I could reach out to her at any time with concerns or questions”

“Having Heidi at my birth was truly a blessing. She brought a calm, peaceful presence into the room, and her strong faith was evident in the way she supported and encouraged me throughout the experience. I am so grateful for her care and guidance, and I highly recommend Heidi to any expectant mother!”
