I feel incredibly lucky to have found Ali. We hired her as our sibling doula for our homebirth, and what a blessing that was. She arrived and I had the opportunity to just let go into my birth, knowing her kind, warm and tender caring was available for my kiddos. And when they were tucked away at school, she was my continuous companion, providing me with such caring as I’ve honestly never felt in my life. She fed me, held my hand, breathed with me. Somehow she helped me feel strong and radiant through the whole process. She even helped calm and ground my dog (who was eager and anxious to understand and to jump into the birthing pool.) And then after baby came, she continued to nurture, tidy up and aid me. When our time together was ending, she tucked me in surrounded by my liquids and foods. I cannot imagine my birth without her. She truly ushers in so much love and tenderness. I will ask for her assistance if I have another birth in this lifetime and in future lifetimes :) -Shiva

Ali supported me with the birth of my first born in March of 2024. After finding out I was pregnant in June 2023, I knew I wanted support from a doula to ensure my preferences were met in the hospital and I was well taken care of. Ali and Sweet Embrace was recommended to me by my OB. It was important that my doctor and doula had an established relationship and would work well in the delivery room together.

In the months leading up to my birth Ali met with my husband and I 2X. We were both very anxious about birth and delivery and knowing what to expect. Having Ali helped prepare us in the best way and I knew we were in the best hands!

Ali created a peaceful and relaxing space for me at home while I labored and again following in the hospital. During the 24 hours I was in labor Ali was there by my side helping me get through contractions, ensuring I was comfortable, capturing precious moments my husband and I will have forever, and being my #1 advocate. I feel so lucky I had Ali part of my labor team.

Ali is a fantastic doula! She is so kind, has the most calming presence and really really cares about helping you create the labor and delivery experience you hope for. Any woman would be so lucky to have her as their doula!

Thank you Ali for being part of the best day of my life! -Hilary

“We found Ali through a mom's group on Facebook and couldn't be happier that we did. I attempted a VBAC for the birth of my second and Ali's grounding, positive and problem-solving nature made the experience feel calm in the midst of chaos. Ali validated my emotions and made me feel seen when my birth didn't go as planned (baby wasn't tolerating labor) and was an advocate for my family every step of the way. I honestly tear up thinking about how lucky we were to have her in the OR with us for the birth of our son. I couldn't recommend her enough. She is a gem of a human and we are so grateful to have had her as a part of this journey.” -Marissa

“I am very glad I hired Ali to be my birth doula. She made us feel really comfortable with her prenatal visits and she was very alert and present during the whole process. she helped me eliminate my fears, be confident and strong. I truly and highly recommend Ali to be a part of your journey, she will definitely be a part of mine next time around too!” –Maitri

“Ali was a godsend to my birthing experience! Having her as my doula was so essential, I couldn’t have made a better decision to have her by my side during such an intense and profound part of my life. She made herself extremely available to me all throughout our time together. She was present, loving, and reassuring.” –Ashlee

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Ali is the perfect doula. Her kind and gentle demeanor was nothing but wonderful inside the delivery room. She was always there and knew exactly what to do when it was needed, but never interfered with my husband or the nurses (the nurses mentioned how WONDERFUL she was, that most doulas always get in the way, but Ali actually let them do their jobs and was always on top of it).” –Jess

Ali attended the birth of both of my daughters! One in 2022 and one in 2024. I can't recommend her enough.

Ali put me at ease right away. She truly felt like a sister at my bedside, though we had only known each other for a few months beforehand. Ali helped my husband to know where and how to be most helpful, when to rest, and when to talk. She has a knack for knowing what to do and when, often without my asking.

I had a lot of fear going into my first birth, as any expectant mom does, and having her with me made such a huge difference. I really felt like she had my back the whole time, and she literally held my hand when I needed it. I would highly recommend Ali to anyone who is looking for birth support and know you will love her as I do!

“Ali was such a lifesaver in the first weeks after baby. She was flexible, and always checked in when she arrived to see what was most important that day, which was unpredictable! Nourishing meals, reiki and reflexology treatments had me feeling pampered.” –Lish

“We have had Ali as our doula twice - she was present and supporting us during the birth of both of our daughters. Ali is a strong, comforting, calming and supportive presence throughout pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I highly recommend her! She helped me think through the process and what I wanted, helped reassure me and my partner, and is a great person as well as a fantastic doula.” -Patty
