Catherine Thuruthumaly   Words cannot explain how helpful Martha was in my journey of pregnancy. I not only gained a doula but a great friend. She is always available and puts you at ease through a very stressful time.

H.S. You helped me deliver my son naturally! Best thing I've ever done. I could not have had a better guide, support, energy beside me. Thank you, you are forever part of our lives. 

Kelsey It was such a pleasure working with Martha as my doula. I had deeply embedded fears about pregnancy and childbirth that she helped me work through during my pregnancy, and she was always available for support when I needed it. Our sessions were educational and so helpful. My hospital birth was beautiful (despite my fear of hospitals), and I truly believe that Martha's support is a huge reason.. She helped guide me into different positions, kept me and my husband calm, and was just a beautiful resource to have there with me. I could not reccommend her enough. I learned so much from her that I didn't get from my OB and it made all the difference. Thank you Martha!!

Martha is truly a star at what she does ! Her holistic approach to healing and empowerment was simply amazing. From the first antenatal visit to postpartum visits, Martha's professional, caring attitude was so endearing. .
I would highly recommend Martha's services to anyone in need !!

My husband and I hired Martha as our doula for our first birth. We met her and immediatley were drawn to her welcoming and calming demeanor. She is a keen listener and very respectful. After making the official decision to have a doula for this birth, I was immediatley put at ease that we would have someone quite experienced to go along with us for the remainder of my pregnancy. When I went into labor, Martha was the first person I called. I trusted her and felt like she was a long time friend.

When I first learned what a doula was, I knew I wanted to work with one if I got pregnant.  I met with many doulas in the Milwaukee area who seemed wonderful, but I felt a connection with Martha. Not only was she aware of size discrimination in healthcare (I'm a person of size), but she's had experience...

"I had a WONDERFUL experience having Martha as my doula for my first child. She brings positivity and an open heart to every meeting - exactly what you would wish for in a pregnancy/birthing coach. Martha was great at answering all my questions throughout my pregnancy and during postpartum. She was always quick to respond and provided me with great resources. She is very non-judgemental and I always felt comfortable around her. Best of all, she made me feel EMPOWERED. My birth was a long one - 24 + hours - and Martha was there supporting me and my birth wishes the entire time. She interacted well with the hospital staff and provided suggestions to help my labor progress. My husband and I are looking forward to having her as our doula again when we have our second child!"

T.J Absolutely blessed to have you walk with us, and share and hold space through such a powerful journey

My husband and I are so thankful that we chose Martha as our doula. She was so resourceful and supportive. Right from the beginning I was a fan of her holistic approaches and knew from her kind and professional demeanor that she was the perfect person for my pregnancy journey. I wanted someone who was supportive, empowering, and knowledgeable, and Martha was exactly that. Martha continually reminded me that my body was made to do this and that I knew my body best. She was always respectful, honest, and open-minded. I wanted a natural birth with no medications and as little interventions as possible. Having Martha by our side throughout this journey helped me to believe in myself and trust my own intuition. She helped me take control of the delivery of my baby... After having my little girl, we were having some breastfeeding issues, and with no hesitation Martha gladly came over to help out. It was so nice to share how I was feeling and have someone there to listen to me and fill me with positivity. Martha shines in all categories and we cannot thank her enough!

Martha gave me the courage to be a rockstar in the delivery room!  Even though my "birth plan" changed - I wanted an intervention free birth, that was not in the cards.  Martha gave me encouragement to have my induction my way, and with my consent.  Full of love and peace, she was a comfort througout my labor.

Martha is everything I could have hoped for in a doula and more. I interviewed a handful of doulas in the Milwaukee area who were all great but Martha stood out immmediately and after our first Zoom meeting I had NO question that this was the supporter, guide, and birth worker for me and my husband. 

First, Martha is direct and clear... a no-nonscence person, which I love! Second, she made it abundantly clear that no matter what my birthplan was she would have my back and respected my choices. This is KEY for me and I recommend it for any first-time birthing person: work with someone who respects the woman first and then is knoweldgeable about all of the options second. .Martha is a deeply intuitive and wildly wise birth worker as well as an impeccable professional. My husband went from questioning the purpose of a doula to considering Martha part of our family after going through this process. 

Martha will be one of our first calls when it's time for #2!

Martha was initially my prenatal yoga instructor but, once I learned that she was a doula, I was eager to know more about her. ;;; She raised many questions that I had not thought of and I was grateful for her guidance! Additionally, she would guide me through some gentle yoga poses and stretches to help with my lower back pain and also process my emotions regarding my pregnancy and labor. When I went into labor, she remained a calm and supportive force.  It was reassuring to see multiple nurses and my doctor recognize her and have a positive experience with her in the room. Everyone acknowledged that they enjoyed working with her.  Martha also provided me with 12 hours of postpartum care which was an invaluable experience. It was great to have somebody to watch my baby while I did something to take care of myself like shower, nap, grocery shop or cook a small meal. Those moments helped me get back to feeling like myself after the birth!  If you are looking for a kind, understanding and supportive doula, Martha is your girl. Thank you so much Martha!!!MOLLY TAL 

I knew I wanted a natural childbirth but was worried about being able to do so in a hospital so I  Iooked into hiring a doula. I found Martha online and knew she was the person to help me. She is so flexible and really helped me relax and prepare. When I went in to labour Martha was right there, She worked with  me through each contraction , helping me to stay calm and comfortable.  One of the more helpful things Matha did for me was to gently remind me of my goal throughout the labour process and offer suggestions to help  me reach it. I was able to labour at home for quite awhile and Martha remained a support when we went to the hospital, helping me not get caught up and distracted in the medical setting. I know for a fact that I could not have accomplished my goal without Martha's help.

I chose to work with Martha for the birth of my daughter in March. I knew right away upon meeting her that she was the doula for me! Martha has an incredible energy and calming presence. I found her to be very knowledgeable and non judging.

It was such a pleasure to work with Martha! She is so sweet, thoughtful and caring. Any questions I had, if she didn't know the answer, she went and found them. We felt so comfortable with her right off the bat. She went above and beyond with my husband and me, I labored for 41 hours, a few hours into her birthday, and she stuck by our side without complaint, holding my hand all the way through. I highly recommend Martha!

She was available last minute and was a tremendous help.  Since she had not met me until  I was in labor, Martha was very understanding and helpful through my entire labor....

S.A.We couldn't have gotten through it as well without you. Thank you!

Martha was my doula for the births of my two children. She was a great support in the weeks leading up to my first birth, giving me an idea of what to expect. When my water broke in the middle of the night, she came over and we walked around the backyard through the early contractions. When the going got tough, the main thing I remember is her calm voice reminding me that I wasn't having a contraction in my shoulders, helping me relax. My husband also really appreciated having her there, too.

Martha has been great for me. I just couldn't get by without her reiki.
