From Lily's Mom:

"I wanted to tell you how much we appreciated you being there with us for the birth of our baby girl!  I couldn't have done it without you! I still can't believe I did it completely naturally!  Now I know I can do it! I'm really pleased with my whole birth experience, and I have no regrets! It just all came together perfectly, I even forgot my birth plan! But everyone was so wonderful I didn't need it! So, thank you so much!" ~ Stephanie

From Josiah's Mom:

"Thank you for your help in bringing Josiah into the world!  You were truly a blessing :) " ~ Jocelyn

From Jaden's Mom:

"Thank you so much for being a part of my pregnancy and Jaden's birth. I am very glad that I found you and that you were able to help me have a positive birth experience despite the way it all unfolded. Thanks for everything and stay in touch!" ~ Christy

From Laila's Mom:

"Thank you so much for being here for me. I feel God made this happen. You are a wonderful, kind person. I feel lucky to have you here. Thanks for everything." ~ Renee

From Tobyn's Mom:

Eva was absolutely wonderful. She spent ALOT of time getting to know us.  My husband was apprehensive about having a doula because this was our 2nd child together (we have 5 all together) and I think he felt like it was his job.  Eva was very sensitive to this and made sure he understood that she was there to help us in any way we needed her....If I needed her to coach him how to help me , she would....If I got sick of him...she would step in....lol!  We had quite a few episodes of false labor and Eva was there for me every time.  When labor truly started she was at my bedside within an hour.  Because of some heavy bleeding ( I was trying to have a VBAC) we opted to go ahead with a c-section.  Eva was right there when I got out of the operating room and when they brought the baby to us she was wonderful helping with breast feeding.  It was great to have someone who knew us so well to be there helping....The nurses were great too but Eva's help was priceless. ~Toni

"You have a very gentle way about you."

     I think this is an absolutely wonderful calling for you, Eva! You have a very gentle way about you, that inspires encouragement and confidence.  This in itself is a gift from God!

     I would like to say that I think having a Doula, a woman trained in pregnancy and childbirth, and one who has had four of her own babies, is a treasure trove worth way more than your fee!  A pregnant woman has so many questions!  The doctor usually does not have time to answer them all, nor does his nurse!  A husband certainly can't answer them!  Reading
is good, and there are many resources out there, but it can also be pretty cold and impersonal at a time when a pregnant woman wants "personal."  Resources also tend to overdo it, and one little pregnant woman won't need ALLLL that info!  There is nothing like a real person to come alongside you, listen, observe, sift out unnecessary information, and answer the pregnant
woman's specific questions.

    A pregnant woman who can get her fears calmed, and her questions answered, can be a confident and pleasant person to be around, especially for her husband!!!

     May God richly bless your very personal career, and may it also be a way to glorify Him! ~Pamela McCord
