“These ladies are just fantastic. They guided us through the whole birth process. Super important for moms of course, but partners need guidance during the whole process too. Two thumbs up all the way!”

“Two Doulas & You was such an incredible support during the birth of our third child. My husband and I both felt supported through the process. We were so happy to have them available for all our questions and concerns leading up to the birth and in person during labor and delivery. I couldn't imagine going through this experience without them.”
— JEnnifer B.
“Emily is a gem. She is an extremely knowledgeable doula in regards to local hospital practices and pain management, and is a wonderful caretaker. She is a great listener and always caters her services to what you want. Her philosophy is to support you in the labor and delivery process, whatever that may look like. I highly recommend her to anyone and wish I had found her for my first birth!”
— Sharoda Dasgupta
“As an expectant father, I really appreciated how Colleen understood my desire to be involved in the experience and made sure to not ‘leave me out.’ She was especially helpful during the actual birth with tips on how to assist my wife, especially since I forgot everything I had learned from her classes when the big day came. She was a calming presence and we enjoyed her company on the day of the birth as well as every time we were able to get together with her. I strongly suggest her breastfeeding class.”
— Tyler BRENNER
“From our initial phone consultation, I knew that I wanted Emily by my side for the birth of our son, and it proved to be one of the best decisions my husband and I could have made. She is knowledgeable, gentle, and respectful. She listened to what we envisioned our birth experience to be like and was completely supportive of our decisions. We felt immediately calmer once she arrived at the hospital. Emily came armed with an arsenal of pain-management and positioning tools, all of which we had discussed during our initial in-person meeting. She offered essential oils when I was feeling nauseous or low-energy, helped me get in position with the peanut ball when my son wasn't moving down the birth canal, and massaged my back between contractions—but what really helped was her gentle encouragement and reassurance. We couldn't have asked for a better birth and Emily was absolutely integral to our positive experience.”

”Colleen’s breastfeeding class was very helpful and detailed. After the birth of my child, I struggled with breastfeeding and called her for advice. She responded immediately with some extremely helpful solutions to help me get through a difficult period. What struck me about Colleen was her knowledge, her willingness to support and her professional integrity. Colleen is a committed and knowledgeable professional.”
— Katie R.
“Colleen and Emily are a great team and we highly recommend their services! They are friendly, nurturing and supportive with lots of experience. It was invaluable to have someone to talk to and give us alone time as first- time parents. We met Colleen through a New Parents class which prepared us the the fourth trimester. I can't emphasize how important it is to have help during that time. They also lead a new-parent support group, which is a great place to ask questions and learn from others. Thank you for offering a safe space!”

“As a lactation consultant, I absolutely love seeing patients who have taken Colleen’s breastfeeding class. On the whole they are less anxious, better prepared, and more successful at breast-feeding. As a bonus, she’s just a lovely person to spend time with.”
- Christie Coursey, IBCLC, Executive Director, Breastfeed Atlanta
"My husband and I feel so thankful for the approach this class took to find peace when or if birth does not go as planned. Ours went the exact opposite of what we were hoping for!"

“I ended up getting an epidural during my birth. It was so helpful to focus on the conscious breathing work we did in our Birthing From Within series, especially towards the end when my epidural wasn’t working. I don’t know how I would’ve made it through otherwise!”
- BETH U.
“Emily provided excellent support throughout my pregnancy and was available whenever we had questions, concerns, or wanted to talk through something. We felt like she really took time to get to know us and our goals. Emily’s knowledge of medical interventions and coping techniques helped us achieve the birth we hoped for. She stayed with us after the birth and helped with breastfeeding and other needs we had. A week after our daughter was born, she visited us to discuss the birth and answer questions. I couldn't imagine going through labor and delivery without her. We highly recommend her to anyone expecting a new baby and would definitely have her with us again in the future.”
— Jessica & Gio Vargas
“As soon as we met Gwynne, we knew she was the doula to help us through birth and the postpartum period. She has a calm, soothing presence and was perceptive and sensitive about what we wanted and needed. She is exceptionally professional, knowledgeable, and warm. The midwife who helped birth our son recognized Gwynne immediately and obviously respected her, which was reassuring. In the postpartum period, Gwynne helped us gain confidence with breastfeeding, soothing, swaddling, and bathing our baby. She was a stabilizing presence in the early, sleepless weeks. We recommend her highly.”
— Nadia & Dan W.
“Two Doulas & You are fantastic! The patients we have shared together absolutely have benefited from their expertise!! They are both a phenomenal support system for each family during pregnancy, birth and beyond and an absolute pleasure to work with as a fellow member of the community of birth workers!! I truly get excited when I walk into a labor room and see their smiling faces!! Highly recommend!!! “
— CARSoN RAGAN, CNM, OB2ME healthcare
“Patti was such a help to us. Her warm, loving presence and a clear affection for babies made the newborn phase so much easier. When she was here it felt like everything would all be OK and become manageable.”
— Andrea F.
“Emily did an amazing job as our doula for our first child. Her calm demeanor and extensive knowledge assured my husband and I that we could have an unmedicated childbirth with a good support system. I knew from the beginning that I wanted a natural unmedicated birth, but wasn't receiving the support I had hoped for from my doctor and some of our loved ones. Emily was so encouraging from the get-go and helped us realize that birth is birth, no matter which method you choose. She helped guide my husband and me through a peaceful pregnancy and birth by providing educational materials and positive support. She was an integral part of our team when our daughter was born and we are very thankful that we hired her.”
— Jessica & Colin Spain
“Colleen’s Birthing From Within series was wonderful. It’s not easy as an instructor to teach via Zoom and it's especially hard to get participation from students on it. She did an absolutely fantastic job encouraging participation, moving the class along, and making it interactive. My husband and I feel so much calmer and more confident about going into the process of birth now. We are so thankful for your class!”
— ANNIQUE R.
“Thank you, Colleen, for leading such an informative breastfeeding class! My husband and I now feel confident in our ability to give it the very best go at it that we can! I remember a few months ago feeling crushed by the weight of my anxieties surrounding childbirth and motherhood. I can't thank you enough for helping me feel more empowered and capable. The resources you sent after the class are fantastic. We feel comforted knowing we have the team to reach out to if we need support.”
