High-Risk Hospital Birth
“After meeting Lexi, it was abundantly clear how distinct she is as a doula and what an overall wonderful person she is. In each interaction, Lexi continued to impress us with her incredible knowledge, warm & non-judgmental approach, and innately supportive style. My husband calls her a "walking encyclopedia" - she has so much knowledge and is quick to share evidence and resources. I'm confident that I wouldn't have achieved the birth experience I wanted without Lexi by our side.”

Unmedicated At Birth Center
“During labor Lexi was truly my guardian angel. Labor was hard and long. A few times a hospital transfer was considered and she never left my side. She talked through it with me, she prayed for me, and she encouraged me. She supports unmedicated births AND medicated births without any judgment. She is the one you want to have by your side whichever way you go. I ended up having an unmedicated birth at the birth center and I really believe her calm coaching kept me there. Labor and pushing out a baby is really hard but her voice, words, and presence just brought so much peace to the room.”

Hospital VBAC with Epidural
“Lexi is the best! She made my VBAC dreams come true! I would have had such a different experience without her and her knowledge. She was so incredibly supportive and helpful during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum. I felt I could relax more before the birth knowing I would have her with me. Having Lexi walk us through this journey reduced my anxiety and helped me finally have a positive birth story. I will never go through pregnancy/birth without her.”

Unmedicated Hospital Birth
“Lexi is an amazing doula & lactation consultant and an incredibly kind soul! The knowledge and insight she provided during my pregnancy was extremely helpful & evidence-based and helped me keep my anxiety at bay while advocating for myself at my doctor’s appointments! My husband jokingly referred to her as our “birth Sherpa!” Working with Lexi prepared me to have a truly wonderful & powerful unmediated birth, and my husband and I both agree she was an instrumental part of our birth process! If you are pregnant and considering a doula I strongly encourage you to work with Lexi!
