We can’t recommend Momease highly enough! Carolyn Alexander was the doula for the birth of our first child and she was more loving, encouraging, and supportive than we thought any person could possibly be. We met her through the Momease two-day birthing course she led and were immediately impressed by her high level of competence balanced always by genuine caring–she was very sympathetic to the anxieties faced by first-time parents and took time to get to connect with everyone in the class as individuals. As a result of this wonderful experience, we asked her to be our doula (as did another couple!). Despite having already made plans for the holidays, Carolyn rearranged her schedule in order to accommodate us.
Carolyn checked in several times leading up to the birth and has followed up with us repeatedly afterwards as well, in each case going far beyond what we expected. During the birthing process, we never got the sense that Carolyn was just going through the motions of a predetermined routine. She listened and responded to what we needed minute-by-minute, tailoring her approach to fit our needs. Throughout the MANY helpful suggestions she made during the birthing process, Carolyn always presented the pros and cons of the various options to us rather than trying to strong-arm us into one choice versus another. We couldn’t have asked for a more positive experience with her and recommend her and Momease without reservation. We will definitely be asking her to help with our next child.
We attended one other class taught by a new hire that was not quite on the same level as the two-day class led by Carolyn. Recognizing this, Carolyn contacted every attendee and offered a complimentary course. The handling of a small hiccup like this in such a professional manner makes it clear that Momease is very serious about providing the highest level of education and support for pregnancy, childbirth, and child care.
