Exceptional doula care that made all the difference Years later, our birth experience with Ursula from Birth You Desire still fills us with gratitude. As repeat clients (we worked with Ursula for both of our kids' births), we knew we were in excellent hands, and Ursula exceeded our already high expectations. We took BYD's refresher course (having completed their full program for our first child), which perfectly prepared us for what became a surprise early arrival at 36.5 weeks. From the first contraction through delivery, Ursula provided unwavering support via phone, text, and in-person presence. What sets Ursula apart is her unique combination of extensive experience and intuitive understanding of what each family needs. Her calm, reassuring presence gave us complete confidence throughout labor. The practical suggestions she offered—like the TENS unit that my wife credits with enabling her natural birth—demonstrated her thoughtful preparation and expertise. We felt like Ursula's only clients, receiving her complete attention and personalized care every step of the way. Her guidance helped us navigate each stage of labor with confidence and peace of mind. Without reservation, we give Birth You Desire and Ursula our highest recommendation. If you're seeking exceptional doula services, look no further.

Ursula is FANTASTIC. Her passion and enthusiasm is infectious; she is knowledgeable and confident in what she provides and to have her on your team would be unparalleled. I look forward to collaborating on patient care and know those seeking doula services will be in the absolute best of hands. I couldn't recommend Ursula and Birth You Desire, enough.

I had such an amazing experience with Ursula! She is incredibly knowledgeable and helped me so much during pregnancy, delivery, and bringing our beautiful baby girl home. She was an amazing advocate for me when I was deep in the childbirth experience the day our girl made her appearance. I 100% recommend Birth You Desire for anyone that wants to make the beautiful experience of childbirth even more wonderful!

Becoming a mom for the first time is overwhelming on its own—but after experiencing a miscarriage, I was carrying so many emotions I didn’t know how to process. When I became pregnant again, I felt alone in my grief, joy, fear, and uncertainty. My husband and family wanted to help, but they didn’t know how. Having a doula changed everything. She gave me the emotional support I didn’t even know I needed—space to grieve, space to prepare, and space to grow into motherhood with confidence and peace. Whether you're navigating pregnancy after loss or stepping into motherhood for the first time, I truly believe every woman deserves a doula. The support, guidance, and calm presence make all the difference—not just during birth, but through the entire journey.

What is a doula? A doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and educational support to new and expectant parents before, during, and after birth. As a certified nurse midwife, I work with one of the pristine doula services, Birth You Desire, LLC, and highly recommend them for your doula services. Their compassion and support for their clients are second to no other.

Birth You Desire offers exceptional doula care built on trust, expertise, and true collaboration. Their knowledgeable team ensures you feel supported and informed every step of the way. They work closely with you, honoring your preferences and making you feel confident and empowered throughout your birth experience. Highly recommend!
