Gosh. I just love my clients 🥰 I am so blessed 🙏✨
"I want to start by saying that whatever I write here will not be able to capture all of the nuance of what we feel about our experience with Dakota. To put it simply, she is absolutely phenomenal. Dakota is first and foremost an incredibly kind, warm, and thoughtful human. My partner and I felt heard and seen from our very first interaction, and each one since. Working with her was incredibly easy in the straightforward and organized way she conducts her business, but more importantly she really took the time to get to know my partner and I as people and our preferences to make our experience with bringing a human into this world align most with our values. Dakota made us feel empowered and informed throughout each step, and answered each question with compassion and clarity. Ultimately, like all birthing experiences, our story came with some majorly unexpected chapters-and with an incredibly quick precipitous birth I had our baby girl in the back of our car on the way to the birth center! Interestingly, we had a conversation about this wildly unique potentiality during one of our prenatal visits with Dakota, and her words that night helped me to remain calm during the birth. All was well and I felt very empowered by this experience. Dakota was right behind us on the road and met us at the birth center shortly after we arrived. I can never describe how held and cared for we both felt as new parents with Dakota by our sides. She anticipated every need we had and advocated for us, along with snapping some of the most beautiful photos of our new family in those first moments. She held such a sacred and precious space for us to process and enjoy our new little life-the welcome song she sang to our baby was a moment we will cherish forever! I don't know what the future holds for our family, but I do know that if we have another child, Dakota will be by our sides as our birthkeeper for that journey. If you are considering a doula (which you absolutely should), you will be SO happy with your choice to go with Dakota--we sure are!" ~Summer P.
