TESTIMONIALS
"When I had questions, Ilana was always able to answer them. She was a good support and full of good ideas to help us along the way. She is respectful and caring. I felt at ease knowing Ilana was by my side the entire time "

"I had the pleasure of having Ilana as my doula for my VBAC. She was incredible support during this time. I highly recommend her to be a part of your birthing experience no matter if it's your first, second, third or even fourth labor & delivery! My husband and I truly wouldn't have been able to do it without her. She was the perfect balance between standing my ground on what I want, and being flexible enough to accept the unexpected things that come with laboring our precious humans. You won't regret having her a part of your team!"
