Comments from Families after Classes and Doula Services

Thank you immensely for your guidance throughout our prenatal classes.  We sincerely appreciate the care you put into the preparation, the patience and time you took to answer our questions, and the encouragement that we can do this!

We cannot imagine our daughter’s birth without Delia’s serenely centered presence as our doula. Working with The Sistering Tree beforehand gave us helpful advice and tools for handling the challenges of a long pregnancy and a difficult labor.  Delia helped us find our best selves as birth partners, a preparation that enabled us to turn the daunting task of the delivery into a truly deeply shared experience. After our baby’s birth, Delia provided additional invaluable emotional and practical support as we made the adjustment to parenting. She went well beyond anything we could have ever hoped for in a doula.

Delia’s doula care was irreplaceable.  She allowed us to trust that we would be supported as a couple by a knowledgeable & compassionate caregiver.  After our baby was delivered, my husband could be present holding our newborn knowing I was supported by Delia in the third stage of labour.  I was so relieved when she arrived at our birthing room, it felt like our team was complete as I knew she was there to attend to my personal experience as a birthing mother.  I would recommend Delia’s doula services to any pregnant woman.

Your understanding and compassion opened and expanded my mind and heart around being gentle and patient with my birth process.  It was truly wonderful to meet and work with someone so open to the needs of each individual. Expectant families are fortunate to have you as their guide.

Your classes were were rich in experiential learning, opening opportunities for practical and lively discussions.  Thank you for your honest, grounded, and heartfelt presence. ~ Nicole Miller

I’ve never seen my wife comforted by anyone as much as by Delia. According to a Greek Myth, Halcyon birds were thought to nest on the sea waters and had the magic power to calm the waves so that they could nest undisturbed. Each year, it was believed the nesting halcyon birds calmed the oceans for two weeks right around winter solstice. Delia was our Halcyon bird, she was our emotional shelter against distractions.
