Beautiful words shared by clients throughout all lines of my work

Preconception I had a clear vision of what my ideal birth would look like. It became my mission to find the right people to help create that birth for myself and for my son. We knew immediately upon speaking with Francesca she would be the perfect fit to guide us through this sacred journey. Her warm demeanor, calming voice, and confidence about protecting our birth experience was exactly what we were looking for. From early labor to the birth of our sweet boy, to postpartum, Francesca was with us each and every step. Truly she was an angel for our family, and we will be forever grateful to her for help guiding us through this precious part of life. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

It’s hard to put into words how grateful my wife and I are to have had Francesca as our birth doula. She was the perfect partner in assisting throughout the entire process of our son’s birth. Her care allowed us to be fully present while she gave me assistance when needed, but most importantly gave my wife as much comfort as we could ask for. I'll forever be grateful for the experience and could not recommend Francesca enough.

There is a plethora of wonderful things that come to my mind when I think of Francesca. I’ll start with just a few: Loving, Warm, Inviting, Intuitive, Attentive, Centered, Compassionate. When I first met Francesca, I felt an instant connection and sense of comfort. I’ve been fortunate to have been able to work side by side with her in our doula care and I find myself absolutely inspired by her and her confidence. She is truly the whole package! From her knowledge and education to her instinctual touch and kind heart, Frankie shines when she is offering support and is so passionate in everything she does. I am so lucky to call her a colleague and a friend!

My experience with Francesca was amazing. She brought peace and calmness in my birth room. My husband started becoming concerned for me during a long labor - our midwives recommended Francesca for the remainder of my birth, and both of us felt so much better once we had her present. I always say she was just as much of my husband’s doula. I also feel like I am successful in my breastfeeding journey because of Francesca. The very first feeding is so important, and I did not feel like I was capable of holding my own baby after birth, so Francesca offered to hold the baby while she fed. Thank you Francesca for all you do. We love you!

Francesca taught a private yoga class for my family on my mom's 60th birthday and it was the best gift ever! She was so accommodating to every single one of my family members, from my sister who is pregnant with twins to my 90-year-old grandma. My entire family adored her, and we all got something from her class. I would recommend Francesca to anyone!

Birth & yoga

My birth experience would not have been as magical as it was without Frankie by my side. From all the extra support in the days leading up to labor, to her gentle reassurance as my birth plans were forced to change, Frankie was essential in my having the best possible birth. She tirelessly shook and squeezed my hips, did all the Spinning Babies magic, and gave me gentle reminders to breathe when I needed it the most. I know my partner was super grateful to have her there when he got tired, overwhelmed, or just didn’t know how to best help me. We both agree that Frankie’s help in my birth was pivotal and such a blessing.

Birth Partner

I was skeptical at first about spending money to hire a doula for my wife’s birth, but I went with it anyway as it was our first time having a child. Francesca’s help was way more supportive and helpful throughout the labor process than I anticipated. She was the one who thought to start the tub at the right time so my wife and I could have the birth we envisioned. I was so overwhelmed with emotion and helping my wife, I couldn’t even think of the things Francesca was able to remember for us. It was well worth it to have Francesca there to guide us through the labor process.

Birth

I noticed Francesca was a wealth of knowledge from the start of our very first phone call. She gave me incredible advice and catered specifically to me. She is also soft, kind and deliberately chooses her words as she speaks with you, which made me feel special and heard. Adding her to my circle while dealing with all the changes going on in my body and my mind, through pregnancy and as I labored and gave birth to my first little gem was a decision I will never regret.

Birth Partner

Some would say having a doula in addition to family helping at a birth is overkill, but there were times and needs that ONLY Francesca could fill!

Francesca has a unique way of bringing peace and listening so intently that she is able to personalize her care for everyone in the room…I would say even the midwife benefits. And we won’t have it any other way in the future.

To Francesca ~ I love you more than you will ever know! Thank you for standing with us through the thin and thickest parts of bringing our baby into this world; for being an anchor and roaring with me as I roared our son through the portal into this life. He is so blessed to have you as his fairy godmother. You will always be a part of our family!

Where to begin! I could not have asked for a better doula for my first pregnancy and birth experience. Francesca was always so responsive anytime I had questions. She has a wealth of knowledge. She has the most calming and kind demeanor, you can’t help but feel safe and calm as well. I was planning to birth my son at a birthing center but labor sped up pretty quickly at home and he was born in our bathroom. Francesca didn’t skip a beat! Not only did she communicate with the midwives so well, but she constantly made me feel so safe, strong and capable and helped bring my baby boy earth-side safely. I will feel connected to Francesca forever. I will without a doubt use her again if I have another baby and recommend her to every person I know.

Francesca is amazing! I took her yoga classes twice a week while pregnant. She has a very calm energy that always made me feel at peace. Not only did her classes help my body but also put my mind at ease. She makes everyone feel included in class which lead to many friendships with other mamas outside of class! I highly recommend attending her class if you are pregnant!
