My husband and I cannot speak highly enough of Candace and our experience with her. She brings such a sense of peace with her along with a wealth of knowledge. This was my first child and birth and really had no idea where to start with my birth preferences. Candace helped us think through many possible scenarios that the birth could go and we felt very prepared and empowered because of her. We labored at home for as long as we could with her and the experience was wonderful. Due to covid she couldn’t come into the hospital with us, but she prepared us so well it was like she was there. We will definitely be using her again with our next child and recommending her to everyone we know who is going to have a baby soon. Edit: November 2025 We did end up using Candace again for our second birth a year ago! We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with her. During our first birth, COVID restrictions kept her from being in the hospital with us, but even from afar, her guidance and calm presence made all the difference. This time, having her by our side in person was truly incredible. The entire experience was peaceful, empowering, and beautifully supported from start to finish. She seemed to know exactly what we needed—often before we even had to ask. Her steady reassurance helped us stay grounded and confident through every moment. On top of that, she captured the most amazing photos of our birth that we’ll treasure forever. And even after delivery, she continued to check in, offer encouragement, and make sure we’re doing well. We’re endlessly grateful for her and couldn’t imagine our story without her.

Candace is an amazing Doula. I could not have gotten through my first labor without her. My goal was to try and have an unmedicated labor. Candace made this possible with her guidance and advice on breathing techniques and preparing mentally. She was always available for any questions I had. During actual labor, she was crucial in leading me into optimal positions to progress labor. She is very knowledgable and has such an amazing, calming presence. I would definitely recommend Candace!

Candice was truly heaven-sent, and I’m beyond grateful we chose her as our doula. I developed preeclampsia, and without her steady support and powerful advocacy, my birth experience could have stalled completely. When the hospital staff didn’t respect my wishes, Candice stood firmly by my side and made sure my voice was heard. Her calming presence carried my husband and me through one of the most intense moments of our lives—she is absolutely worth it and I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Candice! ✨♥️

I had an amazing birth experience and I completely attribute that to Candace and her positive energy and calming presence! I am so thankful for the guidance throughout my pregnancy, during labor, and afterwards. I would 100% recommend Candace and her services to any of my family members or friends!

I was referred to Candace by a neighbor and I’m so glad that I chose her to be my doula. Candace met with my husband and I for the two meetings pre-birth and we discussed what she would be doing for us through the birth process. We went over the birthing preferences, but also reminded me to keep an open mind about what would happen during birth and be open and flexible to change. Candace also offered the Spinning Babies class and I’m so glad that we did it – I only wish that I would have been able to do the class sooner because the program had a recommended workout/stretching schedule throughout the pregancy and how to stay active. Throughout the prenatal period, Candace was always available through text message or a phone call. She had a list of recommneded books to read and this was a major help for me to understand the process.I had planned for a non-medicated birth, but had to get induced and opted for an epidural. During the labor process, Candance came to the hospital when it was closer to baby coming. When she joined us in the labor room, she immediately tended to me and asked how I was doing and what had happened up to that moment so she could get informed. As I was dialating more and more, Candace was able to put my body in positions to move baby down into the birth canal for optimal baby birthing position (Spinning Babies!). When it was time to push, Candace and my husband were there and super supportive during the pushing phase.We opted to have Candace take photos and video during the birthing process and those photos were amazing! Those memories will be forever cherished. Candace stayed with us after the birth some, and said that she would stay as long as we wanted. After baby was born, Candace followed up with me to see how I was doing multiple times and came to visit me and baby at home. I highly recommend Candace and plan to use her for our next birth.

I cannot express enough how amazing Candace was throughout my birth experience. My doctor initially told me that I didn’t need a doula since I was getting an epidural—but they couldn’t have been more wrong. I actually got my epidural before Candace arrived, and even then, having her there was absolutely the best decision. Candace gave me confidence when I needed it most, empowered me to advocate for myself, and supported me in ways the nurses didn’t. She knew exactly how to help move baby along naturally and provided positive encouragement every step of the way. Her calm presence and expertise made all the difference. I will absolutely hire Candace again for my next baby. If you’re on the fence about a doula, trust me—Candace is worth it!

I had such a wonderful experience working with Candace! Her calming presence and intuitive guidance helped me achieve the unmedicated birth I had hoped for — even with a 9.5 lb baby! She supported me through every stage with confidence and care, helping me stay grounded and focused. I felt calm, compeltely supported, and empowered throughout the entire experience. I truly could not recommend her enough!

Candace has been an incredible support through the births of both my children. Her extensive knowledge and expertise were clear from the very start, and she was there to guide me every step of the way. During both births, she knew exactly what to do to keep me comfortable, moving me into different positions that not only eased my discomfort but also helped my baby move into the ideal position for delivery. One of the most important things for me was how Candace advocated for me with the hospital staff, ensuring my voice was heard throughout the process. I also believe her support was key in preventing any tearing during my second birth, which made recovery so much easier! Beyond her technical skills, Candace’s calming and comforting presence helped me feel grounded and reassured during such intense moments. She’s also been a wonderful resource, offering stretching exercises, breastfeeding tips, and recommendations for baby chiropractors. I can’t recommend her enough!

I was referred to Candace by my sister who used her for both of her deliveries. Having Candace be a part of our birth process was the best decision we could have made! Labor and delivery is a rollercoaster and Candace helped us navigate it wonderfully. She was full of ideas with each change that occurred, able to help my husband feel confident as well and just a constant reassuring presence. I will always recommend her and will hire her again when the time comes.
