- Anna C. (Vancouver, Wa)
Sherilee made a world of difference at both of my children’s births! Sherilee allowed the stress, nerves and pressure of this life-changing event to diminish and ensured that I felt supported the entire time. There is no way that I would ever have a baby without her there as my doula!
- Melanie V. (Camas, WA)
Hiring a doula was the BEST decision we made in preparing for our son’s birth. Sherilee was so incredibly helpful to my husband and I. Sherilee knew just what to say or do at just the right time.
- Roger B. (Battleground, WA)
We had a redemptive birth experience due to Sherilee as our doula. We would go on to have 3 more babies, and Sherilee was our doula for every birth!
I have no doubt that Sherilee’s presence made our birth experience one of confident perseverance, positive emotions, and allowed us to make it through without fear or doubt. Her knowledge of acupressure and use aromatherapy brought great comfort to me in labor.
- Becca (Portland, OR)
Having Sherilee as our doula made a huge impact. Sherilee helped my husband in a really big way making him feel secure and allowing him to stay calm and focused.
- Brian H (Vancouver, WA)
It was such a huge impact having Sherilee as our doula. Sherilee was amazing at being our sounding board when we had to make tough decisions. There is no way that we would have had such an amazing experience if it wasn’t for Sherilee as our doula.
- Alizabeth R. (Portland, OR)
Our family is so thankful to have found Baby Nest... We also arranged for a doula to support us which was immensely helpful to have someone by your side.
Sophia provided so much love, knowledge, support and nurturing to the birth experience! And captured the most precious photos that we will cherish forever.
- Kayla G. (Vancouver, WA)
The Baby Nest team was amazing to work with. Answered all my questions about placenta encapsulation and made the process during a busy time at the hospital so seamless.
There were complications that came up during my delivery, and having Inge-Lise there made all the difference. She was a calm, comforting presence during a time when I was worried for our daughter, and I am so thankful for that!
- Lindsey P. (Portland, OR)
Having Sherilee as our doula made all the world of difference in my birth experience. It would not have been as amazing as it was had I not had her by my side. She was like my sister, my mom and my best friend in labor and birth!
- Jenni J. (Vancouver, WA)
I would absolutely recommend Baby Nest's services, especially Cynthia, who was my doula. Every step of the way, I felt very supported by someone knowledgeable and understanding... I am honestly not sure how I would have managed everything without Cynthia's support!
- Forest (Vancouver, WA)
I can't imagine what it would've been like without her help... She helped us cross the final hurdles of growing our family and holds a place in our hearts as part of our family herself. She was an exceptional advocate and always willing to field our questions/worries with medically sound, research-backed answers.
- Anne Cassidy (Portland, OR)
I cannot imagine my delivery without her. As soon as she got to our room, she immediately comforted me in a way no one else had been able to do before she arrived. She helped me relax between contractions and guided me through positions.
- Marea H. (Vancouver, WA)
Inge-Lise made our birth experience go from terrifying and chaotic to manageable. We cannot imagine going through this process without her support... She provided a calming presence and was a huge support to my partner throughout the entire process.
- Sara V. (Vancouver, WA)
Having Inge-Lise as my doula was one of the best decisions I made for having my first child... Her calm and knowledgeable presence during my very not-to-plan labor and delivery helped me and my husband make necessary decisions... I had an advocate whose sole goal was to help us have the best labor and delivery for our situation.
- Kailie A. (Portland, OR)
I am so glad I did [hire a doula] - it was the best decision I made! Brinn Lawrence was my birth doula... Her encouragement and guidance throughout the process was incredibly helpful.
- Kyle T. (Vancouver, WA)
During the birth itself, she helped keep us calm and focused. With her help with breathing exercises, positioning, and overall support, we were able to have a very positive labor and delivery!
- Sara Sheets (Portland, OR)
I have no doubt that Sherilee's presence as our doula made our birth experience one of confident perseverance, positive emotions, and allowed us to make it through without fear or doubt.
- Karen C. (Portland, OR)
I can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Maria as our birth doula... I truly believe that having Maria on my birth team was essential to my positive birth outcome.
- Amanda B. (Vancouver, WA)
Heather was an absolute gem... She is knowledgeable in relaxation options and Spinning Babies techniques and was a great advocate for me and my husband while our birth plan was unraveling. I hope to be able to have her by my side again when we have our next baby!
- Thomas S. (Vancouver, WA)
We had a hospital birth that ended up taking 60+ hours. Maria stayed by our side to help ensure our comfort and confidence throughout the unfamiliar experience... I truly believe that without Maria, during the 60-hour labor I would have been pressured into having an undesired c-section.
- Crystal K. (Vancouver, WA)
This woman knows what she is doing. Sherilee has been in the business for 10 years now and it shows. I have only seen her compassion and love for people grow more and more.
- Ryan F. (Vancouver, WA)
Cynthia was amazing and helped us with what to expect in a hospital setting. Because my wife had an intervention, she helped us navigate all of the unknowns and really put us at peace. Her service to us was invaluable and we are forever grateful for her guidance...
