I always thought that doulas were just an “extra” service that people with extra money or home birth women used. As a nurse, I never thought I would need that service. Doulas of Berks County went above and beyond any expectations I had and was very much needed in the room with my husband and mother. I would never go through labor again without them!”

“Our postpartum doula Tracy’s calm demeanor and knowledge of infant behavior and nursing helped us immensely as we added twins to our family of four. She joined us the night we came home from the hospital and immediately fit into our family as she cared for our twins and for me as I recovered from my c-section. She surpassed every expectation I had! I was worried about being judged for having a c-section and for using formula for a while as my twins learned to nurse, but I was met with nothing but love and support. She made the transition from two to four smooth and even enjoyable, when what I expected was a lot of stress. ”
