*Placing a price on a peaceful and empowered birth is impossible. But my goal is for every woman to be fully supported while in labor.

If money will prevent you from having the support you need let’s have a conversation and see how we can work together to build a beautiful birth.

Testimonials

  • Caroline was absolutely amazing as my doula. This was my first pregnancy and I’m a very go with the flow person, so her guidance and the questions she encouraged me to ask were so helpful. She checked in on me throughout my pregnancy, was there at 5 am on induction day, and stayed by our side even though I ended up needing a c section. She made sure our family got to meet the baby, helped us settle in, and provided so many great resources for newborn care. She also visited us in the hospital after birth and checked in postpartum to make sure I was doing well. I am so grateful for her support and would recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring doula!

  • Our midwife referred us to Caroline at Cradle to Comfort, and honestly, she was a lifesaver throughout my whole pregnancy and postpartum journey. Since I was hoping for a VBAC with my second child, Caroline was always there to offer guidance and support every step of the way. She came to every prenatal appointments, taking notes and helping me keep track of everything our midwife said. In the weeks before the birth, she came over a few times to help us get ready—we sorted baby clothes, decluttered the house, and she even gave us amazing tips on meal prepping for the freezer. When my labor started at home, Caroline arrived at 5 AM to help transform our space, setting up affirmations to prepare for our baby girl's arrival. We had to pivot when we found out our daughter was breech and headed to the hospital for a c-section, but even there, Caroline stayed with my husband and me. She was right by my side as I continued to labor and even stayed with me in the post-op unit afterward, just making sure I was okay before she left for the day. I honestly can't recommend Caroline and Cradle to Comfort enough—she is simply amazing and can't thank her enough for all the support, love, and care.

  • I can’t say enough wonderful things about Caroline and the incredible support she provided by helping with meal prep freezer meals for after my baby’s arrival. She was an absolute lifesaver during a time when I knew I’d be overwhelmed and exhausted. Caroline’s attention to detail, delicious recipes, and thoughtful portions made all the difference in ensuring my family had nourishing, comforting meals ready to go.
