"It was so, so helpful to have Beth at the birth of our second baby. Her presence was very calming and assuring and her suggested comfort measures were very helpful. It felt like I could turn my brain off and let her do the thinking which was amazing! My husband was able to spend more time with me and be more of a support because of Beth. She knew when to step in and when to step out without being asked. She was always ready to give support when we needed it, but also gave us some time together. Beth was also helpful in mentally preparing for the birth throughout the pregnancy. If you are considering having a doula, please do your labouring self and partner a favor and have one."
"I highly recommended Beth from Birth With Joy Doula Services, especially if this is your first pregnancy. She was extremely helpful throughout my pregnancy and after. She is the most gentle and sweetest person. She was very consistent and caring the whole time. She educated me on all the dynamics that can happen during pregnancy, labour/delivery and postpartum. She meets your specific needs and ensures you feel supported. I couldn’t imagine my experience without Beth. She is everything !!"

"If you are pregnant or gearing up to be, you must get Birth With Joy Doula Services!!! ☺️🙌 Beth was the absolute kindest. She went above and beyond for us during pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. My toddlers had so much fun playing with her. They really took a shine to her quickly and still talk about her. I was unsure of whether or not I could willingly birth without medication, and with Beth’s help, it went as smooth as it could have for us. The only thing I wish I could have changed was that I had her help with my previous birth experiences."
It was a lovely experience to have Beth as my doula for my second pregnancy. She sent me a lot of helpful materials before, and guided both me and my husband in different positions during labour. She was supportive in a very gentle yet knowledge way, and when I was calm still gave me privacy with my husband as I labored which I appreciated.

Beth was the best support we had in our tool kit for delivery. It was my first baby, so I felt a little lost and didn’t know what to expect. She was so knowledgeable and had all the resources we needed before our babies arrival. I feel so comfortable asking her anything and she really eased my fears. In the delivery room I didn’t know what to ask for when it came to comfort, but she just knew what I needed in that moment. She guided my partner on ways to comfort me. She was the best emotional support I could have asked for and I can’t imagine going through birth without her. I’m eternally grateful for her presence during the hardest best time of my life. Thank you so much Beth you are one of a kind.
If you’re thinking about getting a doula - do it!!! And make sure to get Beth! I was so afraid of birth and pregnancy and the resources and knowledge Beth had are priceless. She sends loads of good information and is so so helpful with answering questions along the way. I went into my birth feeling calm, confident, and in control. During labour, Beth had so many tips and tricks up her sleeve for relaxation. She was a huge support to myself and my husband. My husband said: “I don’t know how anyone gives birth without a doula.” Haha. Beth’s calm and reassuring presence made me feel so confident and in control. All the way through pregnancy and labour. I’ll forever be thankful for her being apart of my pregnancy and birth story. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Beth!

DADS! READ THIS.
As a first time dad-to-be, I had no idea what to expect while we were expecting. I would say my wife and I are good researchers, but man is there ever a lot of information out there. We took prenatal classes, read books, listened to podcasts – we did everything we could to prepare for our little girl on the way.
All of this was helpful but let me be clear: none of these remotely compared to what Beth was able to do for us before, during, and after Baby’s arrival. There is no substitute for someone like Beth – someone who has been there before in almost every situation both personally and professionally.
Pre-birth, Beth is the ultimate nerve-calmer. She was there for us in the middle of the night, 32 weeks deep, when my wife was concerned about Baby’s movement. She helped me when I needed help prepping for the big day, and sent me dad-specific resources that were so needed by me (more than she probably knows). She’s literally a text away for any question or ask you need, with a crazy fast response time.
If you thought pre-birth Beth was amazing, labour Beth is basically Batman. She was there with us in the hospital for over 24 hours, zipping around the delivery room nonstop, grabbing all the helpful things I forgot, from the cupboards I couldn’t remember. She coached my wife through all these amazing birthing positions, iced her neck, fed her snacks, calmly encouraging her the whole time. She even brought special lights and sounds to help create a more relaxed atmosphere. Trust me, you think you know enough and have prepped appropriately until the show starts, and then your brain hits the ol’ factory reset button. Beth is there for when this happens, and she can point you to where you need to be.
Post-birth, Beth has been so supportive, and we truly enjoy keeping in touch with her. She is an ace up your sleeve when you need that extra expertise. Our baby girl is healthy and happy, mom is doing awesome, and I feel really confident on how things are moving forward. I feel like we owe so much of this to the birthing experience Beth helped create, and the knowledge and confidence she gave us throughout this journey.
I have said this more than once – I would have paid double. Amazing service! Guys, do your wife/partner a favour. Not only the best money you’ll ever spend, but it makes this crazy day so much more enjoyable for everyone.
Thank you so much Beth, you helped our family start off so strong, and I will always be grateful that you were there with us on our big day.
