    I had an amazing experience with Alli. She is very skilled and nerdy about all things birth and babies, making her an amazing resource throughout my pregnancy. ... I had a very long labor and Alli checked in with me constantly until I asked her to come over. ... So if you're going to have a baby, spend the best money of your life and hire Alli to be there with you. You will thank yourself, and her, forever. Good luck!!!

    As a first time mother, I knew that my husband and I needed support during this time in our lives, but I didn't realize how much having Alli involved with our daughter's birth would mean to us. From our first meeting, we knew that Alli and Shannon were perfect for us. ...

    When I initially told the labor and delivery staff who our doula was, the overwhelming response was, "Oh! We LOVE Alli here!"
    ... I would recommend her assistance to anyone looking for birth support.
